Our April Presentation:
Paris to Pittsburgh
April 30, 2019: 6:30 pm at the Anacortes Senior Center
From coastal cities to America’s heartland, Paris to Pittsburgh celebrates how Americans are demanding and developing real solutions in the face of climate change. And as the weather grows more deadly and destructive, they aren’t waiting on Washington to act.
“The American government may have pulled out of the Paris Agreement, but the American people are committed to its goals and there is nothing Washington can do to stop us.”
— Michael R. Bloomberg, United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action
Come join us April 30 at the Anacortes Senior Center.

HOWEVER, you can now view it on YouTube with no buffering issues (at least not at our end). She presents some detailed science as well as many insights into what we can expect for the near future.

Our January presentation, entitled “Earth’s Bi-Polar Disorder: Why Climate Breakdown Matters and how to talk about it”, is now available on YouTube. Click on the image below.

Ocean Acidification and the Salish Sea Food Web: from phytoplankton to forage fish
February 26, 2019
6:30 p.m.
Anacortes Senior Center
Ocean acidification, sometimes called the evil twin of climate change, has the potential to give some organisms an advantage, and cause difficulties for others. What do we know about how local food webs might respond to these changes? What role will plankton, eelgrass, shellfish, herring and other key organisms play as this story unfolds? What are the next steps in exploring these questions?
Presented by Dr. Brooke Love of the Shannon Point Marine Labs.
