With the help of the David Suzuki Foundation, the ATAG, and the EPA we have been able to present to you three notable climate response steps that can be approached by YOU, the consumer. Remember the aviation industry is a very important service to society today, and we are not suggesting to remove it entirely from your lifestyle, but merely REDUCE the number of flight hours you contribute on an annual basis.

After a very noticably hot month in July, I thought it would be most appropriate to share my synopsis of the NOAA’s climate report for July 2020. Most of you will already know the devastating impacts climate change has toward sea ice extent leading to a rise in sea level. The takeaway from this post is not just concerning Arctic ice melt, however more importantly demonstrating the unprecedented increase in average surface temperature dating back to the 20th century.

A more in depth analysis of this report will be posted on my blog and will update you when posted!
