York Citizens Climate Lobby Features NWF's Ed Perry On April 24
|
|
The York Chapter of Citizens Climate Lobby will host a presentation by Ed Perry, National Wildlife Federation on the topic of Global Warming: The Science and Impacts on Fish and Wildlife on April 24.
The event will start at 6:00 p.m. at the Gander Mountain, 1880 Loucks Rd., York (behind W. Manchester Mall).
In 2002, Ed Perry retired after a 30-year career with US Fish and Wildlife Service, where he worked to protect streams and wetlands in Pennsylvania. In 2007, he began working for the National Wildlife Federation on their Global Warming Campaign. He works with hunters, anglers and the conservation community to get our political leaders to take action on global warming.
Although global warming has been studied for over 150 years, it has only been in the past 50 years that scientists have been increasingly raising concerns over what they see as a major threat to our planet and way of life. In fact, this is one of the few instances when scientists are sounding the alarm, while many of our fellow citizens remain unconcerned.
Global warming is here, and observant sportsmen and women, and conservationists, are already seeing its effects. Unless we begin, right now, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, our children’s experience with the natural world will be much different from ours.
Although its effects cannot be known with absolute certainty, scientists predict over 40 percent of the species on earth could go extinct. Although there are some still in denial of a warming planet, there are no skeptics in the natural world. Already, nearly everything that can move north or to higher elevations is doing so.
