The last 12,000 years have been much cooler than previously thought, according to research published Wednesday in the journal Nature. And in contrast, human-caused warming of the atmosphere is even more anomalous than we’d realized. That’s because the study’s authors have found a new way to estimate historical temperatures which they say filters out seasonal shifts that had made past millennia seem warmer than they really were." http://bit.ly/3iTWUvF

What better way to put millions of Americans to work and build back better than by restoring our forests, grasslands, wetlands, and coastal areas to bolster resilience, sequester carbon, and recover imperiled wildlife populations through a revitalized 21st century Civilian Conservation Corps and a commitment to restore 30 percent of our lands and waters by 2030? said Collin O’Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. http://bit.ly/3abPVtU

"Clear-cutting a forest is relatively easyjust pick a tree and start chopping. But there are benefits to more sophisticated forest management. One techniquewhich involves repeatedly harvesting smaller trees every 30 or so years but leaving an upper story of larger trees for longer periods (60, 90, or 120 years)ensures a steady supply of both firewood and construction timber." http://bit.ly/3iNPoCp

"It might be summer in New Zealand but we're in for some wild weather this week with forecasts of heavy wind and rain, and a plunge in temperatures. Long term, though, New Zealand is definitely warming up, along with the rest of the globe. The National Institute of Water & Atmosphere Research (NIWA) says 2020 was our 7th warmest in the 112-year record since 1909." http://bit.ly/2Y9Opmu
