More disturbing climate change news…

The findings are contained in the 2019 Arctic Report Card, a major federal assessment of climate change trends and impacts throughout the region. The study paints an ominous picture of a region lurching to an entirely new and unfamiliar climate state.

Especially noteworthy is the report’s conclusion that the Arctic may have already turned into a net emitter of planet-warming carbon emissions due to thawing permafrost, which would only accelerate global warming. Permafrost is the carbon-rich frozen soil that covers 24 percent of Northern Hemisphere land area, encompassing vast stretches of territory across Alaska, Canada, Siberia and Greenland.

Trump will probably fire these scientist and *poof* problem solved.

Hope

While the Amazon is burning, activists around the world work to decrease carbon in the atmosphere by planting trees. What is that weird feeling I have? Could it be… hope?

Save the earth, plant a tree!

I got a message on the radio But where it came from, I don’t really know And I heard these voices calling all over the world.

Cities, towns, and states all have programs that can help you plan your own personal tree-planting party! (Especially important because you don’t want to plant a tree just anywhere, it can break up sewer pipes.)
