Climate Change Catastrophe

Safer docking in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, waters in Yemen, pronounced, “Saffer.” About to rot or explode!
Potentially leaking gas fumes, and oil into these Arabian and Red Seas. The Houthis won’t talk to anyone but a few. The right actions to change this massive risk IGNORED.
And why?
Starvation 821 million, One in 9 people, children, malnourished.
Yemen, Haiti, Afghanistan, Congo, Nigeria, Madagascar, Southern Sudan, Syria. 
In a world where Overeating and cardiovascular disease are the number one cause of death. 
IN A WORLD WHERE CHILDREN STARVE.
Mass displacements due to flooding. 
Where in the world will these people go? 
Their home awash with loss, destruction:
Brazil, 30,000 lives displaced.
Jakarta, 400 million meters of rain.
Pakistan 300 million lives displaced.
Kenya 1 million lives displaced.
South Korea, Vietnam, Nagasaki, Venice, Italy!
Tanzania, Uzbekistan, Philippines, Zambia, 700,000 lives uprooted.
Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Tennessee, California, Rwanda, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Turkey and all of Central America. 
We have to open our hearts and minds to plan for the next thousand years! 
We are in the midst of a real climate catastrophe.
