More great resources

Brian sent a link to this very good article analyzing predictions about global warming



George recommends two videos. (Both are also linked on the VIDEOS page).

JOURNEY TO PLANET EARTH - examines the relationship between humans and the earth including extreme weather and climate change. The first episode will be rebroadcast on December 16 at 2 a.m. on Wisconsin Public Television.

A PBS NewsHour report on Denmark's plan to become fosssil fuel free examines how the transition to clean power has been a good investment, especially for the residents of the Danish island, Samso.

There were two great editorials in the La Crosse Tribune today.

One, by Professor Alysa Remsburg of UWL's Environmental Studies program, describes the important role students must play in the debates, plans, and actions that will address climate change.

Prof. Richard Kyte, of Viterbo University's Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership, describes the heartbreakingly sad case of the slow, torturous, systematic dissection of our once primo state DNR in the age of climate change censorship. Please read it!

More than 350 state and local elected officials from around the country have signed a letter to President Obama urging and supporting a move to more than 50% clean energy by 2030 and 100% by 2050. As of right now, none of our Coulee Region elected state office holders has signed, I believe. Let's encourage them to do so!  State Senator Jennifer Shilling, Representative Jill Billings, Representative Steve Doyle, Representative Chris Danou, Senator Kathleen Vinehout, Representative Lee Nerison of Wisconsin and Minnesota contact info here.
