Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been an activist for the environment almost all her life.
When she was 9 she started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind the decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 yr old Severn made a powerful speech that received a standing ovation

Are you doing anything to protect the constant Killing of seals going on in YOUR Country every year apart from taking long and relaxing walks in the snow with your friends , I mean if we are talking about taking care of our own backyard Severn ... I´d like to know.

[TheSpartacat]

... thats a very good point. It started again today didn't it :-(

[TheSpartacat]

Sort of like Lake Nyos in Cameroon (except that was CO2)... ?

Methane would be incredibly accelerated warming... but not great to breathe :-/ It was also attributed to some period in the earths development where most of the ocean species were wiped out, I think??

I fear the tipping point has been maxed out too... by the time the brakes kick in on big industry and pollution we'll be way past the point of rescue.

Too much poison, the earth will vomit us off!

social justice? Abortion right?

[MysteryoftheGods]

Damn! She grew up!! And in a good way :D

[FOBmzunguREPTILICUS]

she sounds like Mr. Incredible

@fl260 ...did u know that the Elite works both sides?...for better control, that is...looky here, whether Severed knows it or not, she is being used. [hint]...did u know that "intelligence" controls both the drug running system and the say no to drugs campaigning system? did u know that our public school system (even around the world) doesnt teach our children CRITICAL THINKING so that "they" wont be found out? U see, my lost fwen, Im actually on ur side:o)

[fl260]

@FOBmzunguREPTILICUS Go away with your act of destruction : we're positive people working out solutions, here.

BEWARE OF THE NewAgeDeception!

@ElProximo A 2 degree change in average global temperature over the course of millions of years is vastly different to 2 degrees over a century. Evolution occurs over many generations; for some organisms 100 years is many generations, for others it is very few. Also, these extra trees you say will grow... well even if that were true the way we currently operate we would just cut most of them down.

[KingOfCarrotFIowers]

@ElProximo Look, the climate has always changed and will always change, in fact evolution would not occur without changing environmental conditions and thus life would not exist. However, what is concerning is the RATE of environmental and climactic change. If we take the carbon from fossil fuels that was sequestered out of the atmosphere by planets over millions of years and then pump it back into the atmosphere over 100 what will happen?

[KingOfCarrotFIowers]

@ElProximo Yes the Earth gets hotter and colder, hotter and colder, but on what temporal scale are we talking here? Over 24 hours? Over a decade? Over a millennium? Changes in temperature on each temporal scale are driven by different processes and have vastly different impacts on the life that inhabits this planet. The fact that there are natural processes that drive changes in temperature does not refute the fact the human activity could also have significant effects.
