The World “Connects the Dots” Between Extreme Weather & Climate Change

Powerful photos and videos are already streaming in from across the globe for “Climate Impacts Day. People
from at over 1,000 events in more than 100 countries are “connecting
the dots” between climate change and extreme weather. The events are part of a
global effort called “Climate Impacts Day” organized by the international
climate campaign 350.org. The events are powerful evidence of how the string of
weather disasters over the last year is increasing public concern about global
warming. Photos and videos that have
already come in include:

  •  
    In New Mexico, firefighters standing in the remains of the Santa
    Fe Forest, which was burned last summer during the state’s worst wildfire in
    history.
  • In Pakistan,
    a group of women holding dots in front of the makeshift shelter that became
    their home after the devastating floods in 2010 that displaced over 20 million
    people.
  • In Lebanon,
    over 1,000 students making their dots the wheels of a giant bicycle to protest
    air pollution and request more bike-lanes to combat the problem.
  • In Vermont,
    citizens unfurling a “dot” banner at the site of a covered bridge that was
    swept away in the devastating flooding brought on by Hurricane Irene last
    August.
  • Over the next 24 hours, climbers will
    unveil giant dots on melting glaciers, divers will carry dots underwater to
    bleached coral reefs, and more hi-res photos and videos will stream into the
    ClimateDots.org website that is serving as a virtual hub for Climate Impacts
    Day.
“We just celebrated Earth Day. May 5 is
more like Broken Earth Day, a worldwide witness to the destruction global
warming is already causing,” said Bill McKibben, the founder of 350.org, the
global climate campaign that is coordinating the events. “People everywhere are
saying the same thing: our tragedy is not some isolated trauma, it’s part of a
pattern.” Seven in ten Americans now believe that “global warming is affecting
the weather,” according to a recent poll conducted by Yale University.

Over 80% of Americans have personally
experienced an extreme weather or natural disaster in the last year. “Most
people in the country are looking at everything that’s happened; it just seems
to be one disaster after another after another,” Anthony A. Leiserowitz of Yale University,
one of the researchers who commissioned the new poll, told the New York Times.
“People are starting to connect the dots.”
