First of all thank you again for your action. We’ve organized a
participative event in Mbour, Senegal and sent you a picture of it. We want
to add a new one, focusing on the full message of the inhabitants and on
one of their destroyed houses. Photographer credits : Elise Fitte-Duval.

Over a year ago in February 2011, the temperature plunged from -15 degrees to -20 degrees F. throughout the middle Rio Grande valley—the coldest temperatures ever recorded in this region of the northern Chihuahuan Desert. Thousands of people were left without natural gas for cooking and to heat their homes because of weather-caused shortages.
Extreme drought and intense heat over the remaining months of 2011 led to die off of vast areas of creosotebush and cholla cactus. By year’s end New Mexico had experienced its hottest summer in 117 years and its 7th driest year.
Connecting the dots in New Mexico,

Jamestown RI on Flickr.
Rhode Island experienced catastrophic flooding in the spring of 2010.
My mother’s house (site of picture) used to be across the street from
the water. Hurricane Carol made it waterfront in 1954. Waves have been
washing over our town seawall more and more regularly. What’s next for
Jamestown?
