    logo_olli2Sedona AZ (April 11, 2018) – Prof. S. Sommer will present two talks at Sedona’s Yavapai College, on Thursday, April 12 and on Thursday April 19, start time 6 PM. Dr. Sommer’s first talk is on Climate Change and Our Life Support Systems. The second talk is on Climate Refugees and Arizona’s Future. Both events are open to the public.

    Both talks are data-driven presentations about our current scientific understanding of climate change. Dr. Sommer emphasizes “Both will be delivered in terms easy and simple to understand  but fully cover current understanding of the climate change that has already taken place, how these changes have already affected ecosystems and human systems, and how they impact our future safety and well-being. The presentations will project ongoing climate change into the future to discuss the outcomes expected in coming decades up to the year 2100.”  Prof. Sommer, a seasoned lecturer, notes “I am confident folks will walk away with a better understanding of the cause and impacts of climate change that we see in the data. I hope to clear up some of the misinformation ”

    Prof. Sommer has a long, strong, and distinguished academic background. Dr. Stefan Sommer is Director of the Colorado Plateau Biodiversity Center and Director of Education at Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research at NAU. Prof. Sommer has also produced several films: he is Executive Producer of  A River Reborn: the Restoration of Fossil Creek and a film series on biodiversity entitled Treasuring Our Natural Heritage. The latter films can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPWo553Kk2lcohmCQ9fV3SwjMUVNLnzqT

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
