In a recent message to you I copied an article from the Wall Street Journal which said that while the climate is warming up and that man is responsible for at least some of this phenomenon there was still debate amongst the scientific community about exactly how the buildup of CO2 and other heat trapping elements were interacting with the…
I love the following article because it really portrays how the efforts to combat climate change (warming, disruption or whatever other name you prefer) are taking hold.

We’re well over a third of the way there just as renewables and conservation are filling the gap. I’m so proud to be associated with this program from its inception and…

There’s a lot to catch up upon from over the summer and I’ll try not to inundate you too quickly but there’s a great deal of information to share with you in this dynamic arena. But let me start with the following article that was on page 3…
It has been some time since I have published any articles. It was a busy summer of travel including some great fishing and backpacking (Sawtooth Wilderness in Idaho and Wind River Mountains in Wyoming).
