SUMMARY:FLGR-NY April Chapter Meeting - "CO2 fracking and other false solutions to our climate emergency" – Irene Weiser\, Fossil Free Tompkins
DESCRIPTION:This past fall\, a company with the awkward name of “Southern Tier Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to Clean Energy Solutions” (STS for short) sent a mailing to 6500 land-owning residents in Broome\, Tioga and Chemung counties in NY\, soliciting leases for their participation in a project to provide “an environmentally and economically compatible solution for cooperatively capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide while generating clean and reliable energy” from the shale formations underlying their land. \nIn this presentation\, Irene Weiser will examine the STS proposal\, and discuss how\, far from being a climate solution\, it is an environmentally destructive\, unsustainable experiment\, full of costly false solutions that will perpetuate reliance on polluting fossil fuels. Although the NYS Legislature passed a bill which bans CO2 fracking this session (awaiting the Governor’s signature)\, the false solutions being proposed by STS are being proposed elsewhere in the country too. Join us to learn more about these false solutions and the federal subsidies that are supporting them! \nIrene Weiser is a retired veterinarian and current renewable energy activist. For the past 10 years she has been the coordinator of Fossil Free Tompkins\, working to effect local and state energy policy to get us off fossil fuels and bring about the affordable\, equitable transition to renewable energy. In addition\, she was elected to 3 terms as council member in the Town of Caroline\, serving from 2012 – 2020. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nMeeting ID: 958 6631 3240 \nPasscode: NYRocks

SUMMARY:Finger Lakes Book Group Meeting - Not Too Late
DESCRIPTION:“Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility” – Edited by Rebecca Solnit & Thelma Young Lutunatabua \nWebsite for the book. Rebecca Solnit talks about the book. \n\nFrom the Study Guide:\nClimate is an issue that touches everything. As a subject of study\, it involves almost everything\, too: history\, culture\, eco- nomics\, law and justice issues\, race and gender politics\, and so many branches of science—plus\, the state of the climate movement\, the shift to renewables\, and the policy issues being decided and/or implemented at every level from local to global. No one knows everything about climate. There are great specialists and great generalists\, and there are newcomers trying to find a point of entry. Where should someone start with climate?\nWe at Not Too Late try to strike a balance between defeatism (it’s too late\, we don’t have the solutions) and overconfi- dence (the amazing movements and technologies will make it all fall into place somehow). We think people should know a bit about \nthe science—notably\, that the single greatest cause of global warming is the burning of fossil fuel\, and how that emits carbon that goes up into the upper atmosphere\, thickening the insulating layer that holds heat\, unleashing climate chaos. . .\nand technology—with wind and solar\, we have the capacity to leave the age of fossil fuels behind. . .\nand complexity and intersectionality—fossil fuel isn’t the only problem\, and renewables aren’t the only solution. We need to think about how climate is connect- ed with racial justice\, gender justice\, decolonial movements\, and more. How we produce and consume food and durable goods\, design our communities and transportation\, protect wild places and wildlife are among the many other things that matter.\nso does culture—because\, for the great majority of us to do what the climate needs\, we have to understand the situation and care about the big picture—collective well-being\, long-term thriving\, our inseparability from nature—so\, rethinking what constitutes wealth\, health\, and security also matters\, which is a cultural ques- tion\, and\, of course\, culture also gives rise to—\npolitics\, which also matters immensely—because\, right now\, the main obstacles to do- ing what the climate needs for a stable future are po- litical: a small percentage of humanity is slowing and stop- ping what the great majority of humanity wants: a healthy\, thriving planet for us all\, now and for the long- term future. That small (but wealthy!) percentage includes fossil fuel investors\, owners\, shareholders\, and other beneficiaries including oil companies and oil-rich nations\, along with politicians and other de- cisionmakers who are either directly benefiting or can’t imagine the scale of the crisis and the possibilities. And the crisis has impacted the\nemotional life of many—which is why Not Too Late brought in wise voices to talk about that impact and the tools to address it.\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 926 2795 7489\nPasscode: NYRocks
