Our climate in New Hampshire is moving northward 30 feet a day (2 miles a year) due to human activities, mainly the burning of fossil fuels around the globe. Fundamental chemical and physical properties that local plants, animals, and infrastructure rely on are changing in ways that we can not undo. As the Biden Administration considers policy options to address climate change, considerations of effectiveness, equity, political viability, and global reach are of primary concern.
After, we will discuss the August social, the Windham Audit, etc... |
