7:15-8:00+ Bruce Melton Presents: Climate Change Across America – After Covid
Melton presents his first filming trip since covid; to Southwest Colorado during aspen leaf color in October. Highlighted in this photographic presentation are the 4 million acres of 90 percent spruce beetle kill above 11,000 feet, regeneration failure of almost all of Mesa Verde National Park’s pinyon-juniper forests after fires 20 years ago destroyed over 80 percent of the forests in the park, and the money shot; the fir beetle redkill in Ouray. Join Bruce to find out, “of course it’s climate change,” and to understand why these collapsing ecologies are irreversible climate tipping in the raw, that are now emitting more carbon than they absorb, and will not stabilize unless we lower Earth’s temperature to below the tipping point of “less than 1.0 degrees C above normal.”

Action Teams: Climate Change Committee Meeting – Discuss Action Teams and allow people to sign up to continue the work to stop climate change, an imperative if we want our current civilization to survive. We’ve formed Action Teams on Austin Energy, Pipelines and LNG terminals, Rio Grande Valley Support, Carbon Fee & Dividend, People Power, Data Entry, and Presentations and more. We have identified additional action teams we’d like to form, including Transportation, Climate Justice, Partner Organizations, School Education, and Social Media. Whether you have only minutes a month or hours a day, join us to build a mass movement to stop climate change. Or join another group fighting this vital cause.
