La Crosse Citizens' Climate Lobby

Since it appears the La Crosse CCL doesn't have a web page, we will copy monthly info here to provide a page to link to.

Global warming results in higher water temperatures. Coral have a narrow range of ideal temperatures where the algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues, and vital to the coral's survival, can survive. If it gets too hot, the algae are expelled leaving the coral a bleached-white color. Can coral survive a bleaching event? If the stress-caused bleaching is not severe, coral have been known to recover. If the algae loss is prolonged and the stress continues, coral eventually dies.

CCL'S CLIMATE GUEST FOR JANUARY
Yoram Bauman, founder of yeson732.org

What are the lessons we can learn from the defeat of the Washington state carbon tax referendum, Initiative 732? To find out, our guest on January’s call is Yoram Bauman, founder and co-chair of YesOn732.org, which spearheaded the campaign for I-732. Bauman holds a Ph.D in Economics from the University of Washington and is known as the “Stand-up Economist.” He is co-author of the 1998 book Tax Shift that helped inspire the revenue-neutral carbon tax in British Columbia. In 2012, he co-authored with Shi-Ling Hsu an op-ed in the New York Times, The Most Sensible Tax of All.

We look forward to seeing you at the January 19th potluck and meeting. Email lacrosseccl@gmail.com with any questions.

All the best,
