Lecture: Climate Science vs. Denial
Submitted by Editor on Sun, 07/01/2012 - 5:04amThe Climate Crisis looms as the most serious threat to human civilization.

As the political process addresses the issues, misinformation floods the public space, creating confusion and delay. What must be done to reduce emissions and begin to pull greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere in order to avoid dangerous climate change and to return the Earth to a safe-climate future? How can the public and decision-makers cut through the spin and denial in order to do what is necessary?

Spring means planting Sugar Pine around Lake Tahoe
Submitted by Editor on Wed, 04/18/2012 - 2:00am
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not” — Dr. Seuss
As you may know, sugar pines and other white pines are plagued by a non-native invasive pathogen. White pine blister rust kills about 90 percent of sugar pines it infects. Scientists and restoration managers have agreed that the only effective restoration strategy is to identify seed trees resistant to the rust and plant their progeny. That is exactly what the Sugar Pine Foundation does and you can help too. Last fall, a volunteer described planting sugar pines as “creating life in our neck of the woods.”
