SUMMARY:Finger Lakes Book Group Meeting - The Story of More
DESCRIPTION:“The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where to Go from Here” – by Hope Jahren. \nFrom Goodreads: Hope Jahren is an award-winning geobiologist\, a brilliant writer\, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this earth. The Story of More is her impassioned open letter to humanity as we stand at the crossroads of survival and extinction. Jahren celebrates the long history of our enterprising spirit–which has tamed wild crops\, cured diseases\, and sent us to the moon–but also shows how that spirit has created excesses that are quickly warming our planet to dangerous levels. In short\, highly readable chapters\, she takes us through the science behind the key inventions–from electric power to large-scale farming and automobiles–that\, even as they help us\, release untenable amounts of carbon dioxide. She explains the current and projected consequences of greenhouse gases–from superstorms to rising sea levels–and the science-based tools that could help us fight back. At once an explainer on the mechanisms of warming and a capsule history of human development\, The Story of More illuminates the link between our consumption habits and our endangered earth\, showing us how we can use less and share more. It is the essential pocket primer on climate change that will leave an indelible impact on everyone who reads it. \n\nExcerpt from the book (publisher’s website): \n“Right now\, I see the country of my birth moving backward. It has dumped the Paris Agreement\, it’s close to dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency\, and the United States Department of Agriculture is in very bad shape. The United States Department of Energy\, which funded my lab for more than a decade to study greenhouse gases\, has shut down most of its work on climate change\, and NASA is under pressure to do the same. I left the United States in 2016 and moved to Norway because I believe that my laboratory will have more support here and because I am worried about the future of science in America.\n\n“All of this has convinced me that it’s time to bring global change out of my classroom and into this book. Not because I am a scientist who thinks she’s right\, but because I am an author who loves both words and numbers and a teacher who has something to say.\n\n“So if you’ll listen\, I’ll tell you what happened to my world\, to your world—to our world. It changed.”\n\nHere are a couple of links from Northwestern University which might be useful to you as you read the book: Book discussion guide; The Block Museum of Art collection.\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 926 2795 7489\nPasscode: NYRocks

SUMMARY:FLGR-NY June Chapter Meeting – “Using the power of food to confront climate change” – Mike Hoffmann
DESCRIPTION:Food is essential for life\, it is emotive\, it is personal\, and it is deeply imbedded in our cultures and family histories. Let’s face it\, we love it. However\, not enough people know that climate change is changing the flavors\, aromas\, nutritional quality\, and prices of the foods we love and need. Food is the ideal messenger for the climate change story and one that can make climate change relevant to everyone — we all eat. Regardless of political affiliation most people are interested in learning more about climate change impacts on their food — an audience awaits. We also talk a lot about food but far less about climate change yet talking about climate change is the first step in tackling it. It is time to meld these conversations. Everyone can tap the power of food to confront climate change and keep our favorites on the menu. And coincidentally\, keep the planet livable. \nMike Hoffmann is dedicating his life to confronting the grand challenge of climate change by helping people understand and appreciate what is happening through the foods we all love and need. He has published climate change articles in the popular press – The Hill\, Fortune\, Medium\, and USA Today and is lead author of Our changing menu: Climate change and the foods we love and need (Cornell Press 2021). He has also done a TEDx Talk – Climate change: It’s time to raise our voices and given >150 climate change – related talks.  Mike’s life’s experiences include growing up on a one-cow dairy farm and serving in the Marines during the Vietnam War. He has held multiple leadership roles in Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He received his BS Degree from the University Wisconsin\, MS from the University of Arizona\, and PhD from the University of California\, Davis. He now holds the title of Professor Emeritus. He will tell the climate change story until he no longer can. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nMeeting ID: 958 6631 3240 \nPasscode: NYRocks \n
