CLIMERICK:Too Many of Earth’s Lovely Places by Trevor Thorn

 KEEPING CLIMATE CONCERN

CONVERSATIONS ALIVE with... 

St Cuthbert’s Island, off Lindisfarne, Northumbria.

An islet under threat from rising sea levels. The islet

has been adopted by Eco-Verses as

a symbol of the global risk to low-lying places.

St Cuthbert’s Island in Northumbria (above) is by no means the only heritage site threatened by rising sea levels - in the not-far-distant future. So, if you are aware of places you love that are likely to succumb to higher tides, make a resolve to redouble your efforts to make political leaders aware of just how rapidly they need to move to prevent such unrecoverable losses. And take this thinking into your voting decision (This coming Thursday in the UK)

Too many of Earth’s lovely places

Will soon disappear without traces

Unless we can green

The energy scene

So their glory can still light our faces.
