It is my deep desire to encourage other grandparents to join me in a life-and world-changing crusade against global warming.

As I do my part in helping to heal the earth for my grandchildren, I find unforseen blessings pouring down on me as well. At this time I feel a renewed sense of purpose, new meaning for my life. And I believe I am also deriving physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits without number.

I became much more aware of the effects of climate change caused by global warming three years ago after I drove near a small city in the Midwest one week before a massive tornado destroyed it. That caused me to pay much more attention to all the weather disasters that are becoming an increasing part of our lives. And I began reading all the technical data about global warming. Then as a writer I found a way to dramatize these facts and figures and to engage the reader emotionally in a novel with an ominous title.

EMPTY EARTH is actually a love story set in the not-too-distant future when most of the world’s population has been killed off by a global warming catastrophe that convulses the land, and scattered survivors scavenge for food and hang onto life by a thread. Eva, an American in her early twenties, is trapped in the Arctic where world governments, relocated to the far north, scramble to hold onto power while climate scientists search in vain for solutions to the unending horrific weather. Adam, a young man from England, and Eva must decide if they will risk it all by escaping and then making a long journey to find her parents and grandfather, knowing they will face wild weather, savage animals, and desperate, wild people, but Eva thinks they will also learn her grandfather’s answer to “the warming."

We know that humans have adapted to changes in this planet for thousands of years. We're here today because of this ability to adapt and evolve. Now at this critical time in earth's history we have to evolve further. We have to evolve on a soul level. In order to insure the survival of future generations, we have to start caring much more deeply about each other and about the earth. And through our own lives and actions we will play an important role in determining what the future will be like for our grandchildren.
