NGO head from Spain: We know the planet is overheating because it allegedly snowed in September in the eastern US

Durban Conference: 'Climate Change - It's Upon Us Now,' Says Head Of NGO

“The prevalence of extreme weather is becoming more and more apparent,” says Ross Mountain, a former United Nations specialist on humanitarian and peacekeeping operations.

The 67-year-old, who currently heads up DARA, a Spanish–based NGO committed to providing humanitarian aid for vulnerable populations, most notably those suffering from the affects of climate change, is also clear that countries are facing problems now, particularly in climate vulnerable areas, such as the Maldives, Tuvalu and Bangladesh.

...“Climate change is not about the future and what may happen - it’s upon us now,” he says, adding: “Extreme weather is even evident in more developed countries – witnessing snow in September the eastern US was a bit of a surprise.”
