The ongoing resistance to climate change has started to assume gigantic proportions. In the latest development, a coalition of faith-based native, societal, ecological and climate groups have created the Climate Pledge of Resistance (CPR) to step beyond talk into action by arranging the biggest ever civil insurrection in their history.

In the 1980s, public sentiment decrying U.S. association with, and sustenance of Central American hostilities took concrete shape as the Pledge of Resistance. This Pledge materialized as a highly effectual national crusade that bolstered independent yet peaceful all-enveloping focused action that embedded itself in simple implicit democracy. Today, this very Pledge has motivated CPR for the Planet.

Boulder, Colorado can now form its own municipal power utility. Two ballots were passed in November to eliminate their dependence on corporate utilities and manage the city’s power as part of the city’s municipal apparatus.

Xcel Energy currently provides electricity for Boulder. Xcel has been the target of environmental activists for years due to their lack of expansion into alternative fuel sources (over 60% of their power comes from coal).

Despite plenty of renewable energy alternatives available in the region, Xcel has continued to fail to expand into alternative energy sources at a rate acceptable to Boulder’s large activist base.

Throughout historical times, Earth’s climate has changes several times. In the last half a million years or so there had been seven glacial advance retreat cycles, with the last one abruptly ending some seven thousand years ago.

Climate change is the shift  in the global climate due to natural and human causes. It continues to impact negatively on human health especially in developing countries. The ozone layer serves the function of protecting the earth from harmful Ultra Violet (UV) radiations. However, due to increased C02 emissions in the atmosphere, this layer is slowly facing depletion. These UV radiations have the potential to cause skin cancer if they strike the earth’s surface directly. Incidences of skin cancer have been prevalent in the past, and are believed to double every 7-8 years. The hole in ozone layer is widening, and with continued emission of these harmful gases, the health problems caused by UV radiations are expected to be rife.
