River Climate Action is Announced by Rushing Rivers Institute.

Scientists have agreed that climate change is a real situtation. Even the most moderate scientists predict show the Earth's temperature increasing at least several degrees Celsius by the year 2100, which is a drastic increase. Receiving some of the worst affects from this are our world's Rivers.

Fish reside in this critical bodies of water which serve as the canary in the coal mine of climate change. As a result of global warming, water temperatures have profoundly increased thirty-five to forty degrees over the last half-century.. This change has caused fish species that enjoy southern, warmer waters to migrate north, inciting a food competition

At the same time in some parts of the globe, airborne parasites preferring warmer areas are moving northbound similar to the fish migration habitats. Once there, they begin infecting fish that do not have the natural immunities required to defend against them. This results in a decreasing food supplyfor other animals that depend on the fish, such as humans, bears and birds.

Because of these imminent threats, Rushing Rivers Institute has announced its anti-climate change campaign, Rivers Climate Action. Through our scientific background, community connections and educational resources, River Climate Action will spearhead this problem.

River Climate Action has outline several goals to see this through. First, extensive research to establish the best action and recommendations. Second, the most appropriate, inobtrusive way to implement these recommendations. Third, establishing networks and communication between other groups and institutions with similar goals.

While the solutions for stopping Global Climate Change may be debtable, all can agree that apathy is the worst of resolutions. If a stand is not taken now, the problem may become too great to be remedied in the future. Your first step is to educate yourself on the issue.

Rushing Rivers strongly urges you to take the time to review the situation. You can visit our website at http://www.riverclimate.org to read further on the problem. With your help, rectifying the issue will no longer be delayed.
