Still not convinced whether it is really a change in the climate or a variation in weather

Dear People of the Islands

I have been a friend of the island countries in the South Pacific for about 10 years. I have an appreciation for the extraordinary beauty of the cultures and people in this area. I do acknowledge that changes are occurring. I am still not convinced whether it is really a change in the climate or a variation in weather. In the past both conditions have occurred. Only time will tell. The real question is what is causing it and what are we going to do about it.. I would hope that the people in the islands are making plans in the event that the changes are as devastating as expected. If the activities of the human race are causing the changes it is unlikely that corrective measures can be made in time to stop the process. The whole process is now political both within countries and between countries around the world. It is unlikely that industralized countries especially those that are discovering the new prosperity through industry are going to cut production in their industries if pollution is the cause for the changes. I can only hope that the evidence becomes so overwhelming that corrective action will be supported by the entire global community.
