A Love Letter in the Time of Climate Change by Robin Lasser

Фильм және анимация

This eight-minute film is an interview with State Park Senior Environmental Scientist Portia Halbert about why she chose the career she did and the importance of prescribed burns for land management.
Per Portia: Burning has been a part of Big Basin since time immemorial, but for the past 150 years the park has not seen fire like it once did. With the CZU Lightning Complex fire we have a reset. This wildfire was less than ideal but still the forest and fire are bound together. Because of our temperate climate, more fuel (vegetation) grows than can decompose in any one year and continues to build up. The solution to this "problem" is fire.

    It can all be reversed with YOUR money.

    We have climate change here in the Midwest also. In the summer, it’s hot, and then fall comes, and it cools off a bit and the leaves fall. Then we have winter when it’s kind of cold and it snows quite often and then we have spring when the snow melts and it warms up again. It’s been going on for a long time we like our climate change. We used to call it the change of seasons, which is what we still call it here. But I guess technically you could call it climate change.

    I live in the Midwest, too. It used to snow a lot in the winter when I was a kid, now it barely ever does. If it gets cold, it might last a week and then just jumps up to 60 or 80, in the winter. I’ve seen the climate change in my lifetime. If you don’t think you have, you’re either not paying attention, or you’re pretty comfortable with denial.

    @@Deletedcommentfactory We're probably heading back into a natural cooling cycle, so you may get your snows back. It's actually better if we do warm-up a bit. It takes less energy to cool a house from 90s to 72 than to warm it from 30s to 68. Aircraft wrecks have been recovered from Greenland under 70-100' of ice. The glaciers are alive and well. In fact, polar ice pack is at a 20 year high. Even the Left doesn't believe in human caused global climate change because they are not heeding their own recommendations.

    @@Deletedcommentfactory Your thinking of the last few years where it true that we have not had as much snow the last few years. And there have been some warmer days. But if you look at it over the long-haul, several hundred years, you will see that it’s gone up and down in the normal fashion. In 1998 we had 30 straight days below zero. The next couple of years it was warmer. Even each season has its cold and warm changes from year to year. It’s very possible this winter we will get a lot of snow. It’s all subjective and we never know what we’re going to get. To tell you the truth, I kind of like warmer winters!

    @@libertyforever836 It’s more than that. Southern species are moving in and some of ours are moving north. Our way of life is going to change, like it or not. Don’t believe facebook, and don’t believe industry “science”. They’ve known what’s happening for decades.
