Join a local action from 1 to 3 on October 24th to raise awareness of the impact of climate change on local agriculture

In July of 2006, the Press Democrat reporter Tim Tesconi wrote an article about a new report that warns that the North Coast may get too hot in the coming century for our crops, especially premium grapes.

If you’re interested in this issue you can read a scholarly treatise here.

If you are convinced that climate change is a local issue and want to do something about it, join hundreds and thousands of people across the world who will be making a visible and vocal call for reducing our greenhouse gases on October 24.

I signed up with 350.org to sponsor a local event from 1 to 3 pm on October 24th. My plan is to do a “grapevine march,” carrying grape branches with signs stating: “Destination: Canada”. Learn more about it and if this sounds worthwhile and kinda fun, click here and sign up.

  1. Climate change is the single most imperative issue of our times, amonth the many vital issues that demand our attention - climate change trumps them all. If we don't have a habitable planet the economy doesn't count - and that is a real possiblity if we don't take action. Join us to let people know that we can turn things around! Bringing the parts per million of green house gases from 389 to 350 will allow our planet to continue as we know it. JOIN US - YOU CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
