On Monday, March 31st, I published a blog post<\/a> on\u00a0 a concept video around OceansAdvocacy,<\/a> proposing a web-based communications infrastructure to support a\"ipcc\"<\/a><\/em>dvocates from all walks of life, but not representing any organizations they might be affiliated with, if they choose to do so.\u00a0 The advocacy landscape is highly fragmented and many organizations, profit and non-profit, are not being successful at meeting their goals due in a large part to under-financing and being over whelmed by the problems brought upon us by global warming and the continued dislocation of entire countries because of war and\u00a0 <\/em> <\/em>v<\/em>iolence.\u00a0 I think a citizen-rooted network of networks is required if the global village is to be more successful at oceans conservation. I visualized a connected oceans community, based on the Google product’s Maps, Earth, Google+, and YouTube, inspired in part by the recent release of the Global Forest Watch.<\/p>\n

To add fuel to my suggestion, this is the final draft <\/a>of the Ocean Systems, Chapter 6 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report officially release <\/em>d on March 31st.<\/p>\n

The executive summary begins:
\n“Ocean ecosystems have responded and will continue to respond to climate changes of different rates,magnitudes,and durations (virtually certain). Human societies depend on marine ecosystem services,which are sensitive to climate change(high confidence),in particular the provisioning of food (fisheries and aquaculture) and other natural resources, nutrient recycling,regulation of global climate(including production of oxygen and removal of atmospheric CO2), protection from extreme weather and climate events, aesthetic, cultural, and supporting services.” [6.3, 6.4, 6.5] <\/em><\/p>\n

I recommend reading the entire Executive Summary and other chapters of interest to you found here on the IPCC site<\/a>.\u00a0 As of this morning,\u00a0 nearly 500 citizens have clicked on my 3\/31\/14 post, <\/em>distributed through the 3BL Media Network, some viewing the attached concept video<\/a>, and I am hoping that this update adds to an understanding of why we are at a critical juncture and heed Jimi Hendrik’s advice:\"jimmi<\/a>Ruth Ann Barrett, Sustainability Advocate,\u00a0 April 2, 2014, Portland, Oregon. Call or email comments and suggestions. (ruthann@earthsayers.tv\/415-377-1835)<\/p>\n

P.S. There is an IPCC video here, <\/a>Climate Change: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability<\/em> by IPCC, in the EarthSayers.tv special (and growing) collection on climate change.<\/p>\n
