Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio--two guests on climate change and its ramifications.
9:00 - 10:00 am
Author and climate change activist Bill McKibben will be speaking on stage with Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman at the Chandler Center for the Arts in Randolph this Saturday. WGDR is sponsoring the event, and as part of that, I interviewed McKibben last week. Amongst other things, he spoke about the importance of the resistance to the Dakota Access oil pipeline at Standing Rock in North Dakota as being as historically important as resistance in Lexington and Concord and in Selma.
Seeta Sista is in the weeds on climate change—literally. She’s an ecologist at Hampshire College in Massachusetts, and she’s studying things like the impact of solar electric arrays on the life and soil of agricultural fields in Vermont, as well how much greenhouse gases from the soil are adding to the load in the atmosphere. She was part of team that published an article in the journal Nature last year that concluded that increased emissions from the soil, as a result of human actions, may contribute as much to global warming as the entire US.
10:00 - 10:30 am
Resilience Thoughts, a locally told Extempo story, plus upcoming events related to energy, food, and the local economy at the end of the age of oil.
