A dramatic picture taken by Michael Nolan has been dubbed the face of Mother Nature crying on a canvas of melting ice and cascading water on a Norwegian Glacier. Michael Nolan is a marine photographer and environmental lecturer. He has captured this picture while on an annual voyage to observe the glacier and surrounding wildlife. It’s best to quote Nolan’s words on this:
“This is how one would imagine mother nature would express her sentiments about our inability to reduce global warming. It seemed an obvious place for her to appear, on a retreating ice shelf, crying.”

Since 1980 the number of national catastrophes has quadrupled.
Our planet is losing patience. Let’s rethink.
How many war casualties, oil spills, dead fish, and natural disasters will we need to see before we set aside our differences and awaken towards interconnectiveness with each other, the Earth, and all life forms?
We destroy our home - the Earth - for the sake of the economy.
We torture and treat animals as mere commodities for the sake of the economy.
We keep using oil, despite the alternatives, for the sake of the economy.
We perpetuate wars and kill each other for the sake of the economy.
We promote superficial and materialistic values for the sake of the economy.
We indebt the poor for the sake of the economy.
We remain asleep for the sake of the economy.
