Welcome to A Ride For The Climate. On this website, I will publish photos and stories of a bike trip that I will take from my home in California to the southern tip of South America. This trip will begin in early November 2005 and likely finish in December of 2006.

I am riding to raise awareness of climate change and how it will affect the Americas. Climate change may cause massive extinctions, losses in agriculture, increased risks of malaria, stronger hurricanes, rising sea levels, and even potentially the end of the Amazon rainforest. Furthermore, climate change will be worse for less wealthy tropical nations than it will be for wealthier nations such as the United States. I am giving presentations in schools before and during this trip, and I am meeting with researchers and environmental groups in each country. My goals are educational, but I hope that you will take action.

You can sign up for my email list, or you can follow my journeys on this website. This trip is a great opportunity to learn more about climate change and the countries of the Americas, and I hope you will join me.
