All the paintings shown, are by the very talented Swedish Artist, Markus Akesson, who gave me permission to display them on my world and use them in videos.

Big changes are blowing in the wind… They could come from any direction, but it’s time to open our eyes. Climate change is one of them and we see the effects everywhere in the world, most recently in Kerriville Texas and Camp Mystic Children’s Camp, where over 128 people lost their lives, or are missing, many of them children,. My heart goes out to all the families who lost loved ones in this tragic way.
powerful & respectful! thank you for this reminder to all of us to pay attention to the weather, because it can be highly unpredictable. it can trigger a host of surprises & some of them may be tragic beyond belief🙏🏼

Powerful video with music and visuals that truly depict climate change and the destruction it brings. What a great reminder for all of us to wake up and do our part. Lovely filming and art, Karima. When I try to go to your YouTube, I can’t here. Can you start putting the link in your post? Great job, Karima! 💕

For those among us who are scientistsit is veryfrustrating to listen to leaders who are basically ignorant of even High School Science. I used to think some of them ignored the effects, now I realise they simply don’t undersstand what is happening. That is more frightening than deliberately pretending it is not happening. The lives of children were lost because saving money was seen as preferable to responding to climate change. This makes no sense at all. A great video and I liked the background music as well.

Thanks again David, for commenting on my video both here on my blog and on my YouTube channel. The sad truth and state of our world at this time is that profits trump (no pun intended) the future of earth, the health of our citizens and the safety of our children and elderly and the most vulnerable. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts about it here.. and I agree with you.

So sad how many disasters are caused by climate change. There’s still time to act but I feel like too many people just don’t care.
