Author Bio:
I decided to write about climate change because I think people deserve to know the facts about the precariousness of our situation. Urgent action is required, and we have to invest in renewable energy, clean technology and a sustainable biosphere now. So I started writing about our response to climate change.
It seems that the ancestors have been facing climate change, overuse of resources, and migration in search of opportunity for a long time, actually since the last Ice Age.
I realize that we are all here today because of the resourcefulness and inventiveness of our ancestors, so I thought other people might be interested in our remarkable evolution through proto-history since the ice age. I also want to share my knowledge of the current position of us all, people, organizations, business, government and the UN in addressing the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced.
I have a career as an Information Technology consultant and I am Australian, though I have spent many years working in the UK and Europe. I love the beach. I surf and windsurf at the Gold Coast. I also love the mountains, and I snowboard every winter in French speaking Switzerland, where I have deep ancestral links. I am an avid consumer of literature, poetry, music and art, particulalarly Australian indigenous art, which I collect. I love nature, all animals, plants and trees, and I confess I am easily manipulated by cats, which gives me lot of pleasure.
