SUMMARY:Southern Oregon Wildfire Risk: The Climate Connection
DESCRIPTION:Fire and smoke have become an annual source of concern for Oregonians\, especially for those of us living in the Southwest. As wildfire trends become increasingly obvious\, questions about their drivers become more urgent. Yet\, many factors affect wildfire behavior and impact: forest management\, disruptions to fire’s natural role\, patterns of development\, and\, importantly\, changes to the climate. 
What do we know about how wildfires are changing\, the causes\, and options for climate adaptation? 

Dr. Chris Adlam\, Southwest Regional Fire Specialist with the Oregon State University Extension Service\, Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center\, will be the featured speaker at the August Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) monthly general meeting. Adlam will discuss how climate is influencing fire risk in the region\, what climate projections portend for our future\, and what steps we can take to minimize the risk. There is no charge for attending SOCAN events.

SUMMARY:How Climate Science Divides Us
\, How to Build Consensus
DESCRIPTION:An abundance of scientific evidence is readily available confirming the reality of human-induced global warming and its climate consequences – and the causes. There is also a wealth of evidence regarding what is needed to divert the current climate trajectory which threatens life on the planet as we know it. Given this evidence\, climate scientists and activists are frustrated and disappointed by the limited success of climate mitigation policies. \nDr Rob Winthrop\, a member of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Maryland\, has reflected on this conundrum and will discuss his thinking on the reasons for this failure. Dr. Winthrop’s presentation is the focus of the July Southern Oregon Climate Action Now free monthly public general meetings. \nWinthrop argues that climate change is not an environmental problem. It is a social problem with profound environmental consequences. While acknowledging the soundness of climate science\, he questions how the science has been used to shape policies around highly technical objectives (such as “net zero” emissions) that lack social salience and fail to build consensus. He suggests that we should encourage social mobilization for a climate-positive future around shared goals\, not beliefs (including a belief in human-caused climate change). Thus\, he thinks that rather than focusing primarily on reducing greenhouse gas emissions\, we should pursue climate action as a co-benefit of other socially desired goals\, such as energy efficiency and self-reliance.

SUMMARY:Gather to Honor the Earth\, Rebalance Ourselves
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon Pachamama Alliance (SOPA) is hosting a Spring Equinox Ceremony near the upper duck pond at Lithia Park in Ashland. Parking is available off Winburn Way\, just north of the Granite Street intersection. Everyone is invited. \nThe spring equinox always arrives when we seem most ready to welcome the transition of seasons. At this time of the year\, day and night are in balance\, a perfect time to seek balance in our internal lives as well. In light of all the turmoil we are experiencing currently\, it is a perfect time to pause for a moment or two to be with ourselves and friends while tapping into the greatest source of all – what some call\, the Pachamama. For a short time\, at least\, nothing is required of us\, we can throw away\, or hide\, the “to do” list. We can just show up and be in the flow of ceremony. \nSOPA has hosted simple Solstice and Equinox celebrations\, facilitated by Louise Paré\, since the winter of 2012. The celebrations are centered on gratitude while gently reflecting on themes related to the season\, recent events or the state of our world at this time. Attendees are invited to speak from their hearts or to simply be in silence in community with others.

SUMMARY:Untold Stories of Nuclear Weapons

SUMMARY:Redefining Sustainability for a Turbulent 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:John Giordanengo\, author of “Ecosystems as Models for Restoring Our Economies\,” is the featured speaker at Southern Oregon Climate Action Now’s February Monthly General Meeting. Drawing from three decades of experience and research in business\, economics\, ecology\, and conservation\, John H. Giordanengo explores the dynamic relationship between three governing components of highly complex systems — diversity\, energy\, and trade — to reveal a novel hypothesis on the structure of sustainable economies. The inspiration for his work is our economy’s sister system\, nature. Giordanengo offers a novel approach to achieving lasting conservation\, recognizing that humanity’s most serious concerns cannot be resolved by just environmental and social advocates. See more.

SUMMARY:Ashland City Council Votes on Climate Policy
DESCRIPTION:Ashland City Council will deliberate and vote on a pollution fee ordinance aimed to incentivize developers to build new homes with efficient\, electric appliances. The goal of the pollution fee is to ensure that the majority of new built homes in Ashland are built with the health of residents and the climate in mind. The ordinance is designed to improve indoor air quality and remove health risks caused by gas appliances in the home\, while contributing to Ashland’s climate goal of reducing emissions. If the ordinance is passed\, those who choose to install gas appliances in newly constructed homes will be charged an up-front fee based on the lifecycle of each gas appliance and its carbon emissions. The fee would not impact existing homes. This will be the first policy of its kind in Oregon.

SUMMARY:Crown Jewels Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Environmental activist Alex Haraus and cinematographers Aidan Kranz and Elena Jean spent the last year exploring some of the last remaining ancient forests on public lands in the US. These mature and old-growth forests offer one of our best natural defenses against the impacts of climate change. But these carbon-storing powerhouses are so much more than that. \nAs the film crew travels across America exploring our different old-growth forests\, they learn more about the value that these ancient ecosystems have for the communities that depend on them. We learn that looming threats like logging\, development\, wildfires and invasive species would devastate these landscapes. These forests could be lost forever unless we can demonstrate widespread support for protecting them. This year\, the public has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to forever change the way our government manages our federal public lands. Through local advocates and grassroots storytelling\, the film makes a case for protecting mature and old-growth forests across the federal estate and shows how the audience can help.

SUMMARY:Northwest Forest Plan Amendment Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance to host webinar on Northwest Forest Plan Amendment. \nOn August 30th\, the US Forest Service will release the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed changes to the Northwest Forest Plan. For 30 years\, the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) has guided forest management across the PNW on federal lands. This will be the first amendment to the NWFP in 30 years\, and presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish better protections for mature and old growth forests\, meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities and a fighting chance at mitigating the climate crisis. \nAmong the key issues the Forest Service needs to address in the updated Forest Plan are tribal inclusion & fire stewardship and the protection of mature & old growth forests. To ensure the NWFP amendment enables a more just & sustainable future for our forests & communities rather than repeating the mistakes and injustices of the past\, our communities need to speak out & comment on the proposed changes. \nJoin PNFCA Tuesday\, September 10th at noon for a deep dive into these topics and what’s at stake in the NWFP\, and to get resources & information to submit effective public comments. Speakers include Meredith Jacobson\, University of Oregon PhD candidate & member of the FireGen Collaborative\, and Madeline Cowen\, Grassroots Organizer with Cascadia Wildlands. \nThe stakes of the NWFP Amendment are huge–for our last remaining mature & old growth forests\, for the livability of our climate\, for threatened & endangered species\, and improper fire-risk reduction management for forests and communities. \nRegister Here
