In this part of the world, we are “through the looking glass” of climate change. The effects are no longer projections but rather part of everyday life. We taste the smoke when we go outside in the morning, we see the sandy channel where once a river flowed, and we feel the heat of the summer sun persist into autumn. None of our senses are spared from these changes.
Beyond birds, the changing climate will have a crippling effect on us as a people—particularly BIPOC communities (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) who are historically the most vulnerable to environmental racism and environmental hazards. The increasing warming of our globe will only make this worse.
But today I am hopeful… continue reading to learn why.
