Sunset off Lipsi, Greece

Soon the Global Warming Warrior will depart on her journey through the Greek Isles

Come aboard the Global Warming Warrior and tell your story

From Kos up to Kalymnos, and across to Paros where we are scheduled to arrive on May, 25th. Maybe you would like to come aboard for a day or two for a sail, and to tell us your story.Or even meet us in port.

Have a look at “The Voyage” page for more details.

She will be put back into the water on the island of Leros, and her first little sail will be down to Kos to pick up crew who are arriving from England and South Africa. From there we will journey across to the Cyclades.

More detailed information later.

ANA will go back into the water

I skipper ANA but live in Australia, the most wonderful and beautiful country, but one which is plagued by a hole in the Ozone layer, and floods and bush-fires.

It is a country which produces and exports masses of coal, especially to China and indirectly is a huge contributor to greenhouse gases.

What do you feel about global warming.?  Have you seen changes in the weather, in the climate, in the vegetation, in the birdlife?

Let us know on ANA, the global warming warrior

Sailing off Kalymnos aboard ANA, the Global Warming Warrior

ANA the Global Warming Warrior in for maintenance

The Global Warming Warrior is currently in the boatyard on the Greek island of Leros and is being prepared for her voyage to the Cyclades and up to the Black sea. She will depart from the island around mid-May.

If you have any strong feelings or personal experiences about global warming and climate change please post them or make a short video and give us the low-down.

Now it is increasingly regarded as a fact. Climate change is happening right now.  This shift means that all of us must start thinking about the many ways global warming will affect us, our property,our everyday lives. We have to begin thinking about adapting accordingly.

Adaptation is on the other side of the problem–trying to live with the changes in the environment and the economy that global warming has and will continue to generate, but it is going to be inevitable.

For years, adaptation was overlooked. Today adaptation has had to become part of the discussion.

ANA hides from storm

What do you think?

We at Global Warming Warrior want to know your views. Are you adapting? Are you going to adapt?

Have a look on our website how you can let us know your thoughts and feelings.

Clouds over global warming

The following has just been released. It’s not good news about Global Warming and climate change. What do you think? Let us aboard ANA, the Global Warming Warrior, know.

“One of the world’s leading experts on climate change says a Nobel Prize-winning panel of scientists seriously underestimated the reality of global warming when it published its report just over a year ago.

Professor Chris Field, a leading member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which released the report, says he and his fellow researchers did not have access to vital data.

Professor Field says that a warming planet will dry out forests in tropical areas, making them much more likely to suffer from bushfires.

He says recent climate studies suggest global warming could also melt permafrost in the Artic tundra.

These events would release billions of tons of greenhouse gasses that could raise global temperatures even more.

The report did not have data on emissions of carbon dioxide between 2000 and 2007 which show far more rapid rises than had been predicted.

These increases in carbon have been caused principally by the burning of coal for electric power in India and China.

He has told an American science conference in Chicago that global warming is likely to accelerate at a much faster pace and cause more environmental damage than previously predicted.”

Those who have lived in Europe over the past few decades are experiencing the coldest winter they would have felt. Do you feel that this is related to climate change and could that change have been brought about by global warming?

Let us know what you feel about this. The scientists are having their say, but what do you think? It’s your story we want to hear.

Post a blog, send us an email, or make a short video. Global Warming Warrior, ANA, is here to listen and publish your stories.

Australian Bushfires

Lurking in the background is a culprit called global warming. Is this just the beginning, an early warning, of a long downhill road where the ongoing threat of bush fires will grow worse and worse? It’s a terrible tragedy, affecting the lives of thousands of people who now find themselves without a home, having lost loved ones, family members and friends in this disaster.

Global Warming Warrior wants to hear your thoughts and your experiences about climate change and what you feel the future may hold for us.

The Global Warming Warrior "ANA"

Welcome to the world of our warrior ANA, the little yacht with a big heart. She’s not here to fight climate change, but to listen to your thoughts on global warming. To listen to your stories and what you have seen, heard about, think about or experienced in this world of a changing climate.

ANA wants your stories, positive or negative. Video would be great, but if that’s too hard just send us a blog. Or come and meet us in port, on our journey and we will interview you. And if your story is good, we may even select you to sail with us for a leg of the journey

So remember, we want your story. Give it a go and let the world know what you think.

From the team at Global Warming Warrior.
