May 5th: We’re Connecting the Dots, Massachusetts!

Updated: Scroll down for more photos.

From the Marshall Islands, far in the Pacific, where the sun rose first on this 5/5/12 Climate Impacts Day, to communities all over Massachusetts, people around the world are “connecting the dots” between extreme weather and climate change — and calling for action.

There’s an amazing and inspiring slide show at ClimateDots.org — with an ever-growing stream of images from every continent. Today, as our own “climate dots” spring up around Massachusetts, we are truly standing in solidarity with our global neighbors on the front lines of climate change.

Bill McKibben and the 350.org team are blogging throughout the day, posting updates as the photos pour in.
