But it didnt go up like that because of until the 1960s we were putting some into the air and it was called sulfate. You can hear the smokestacks and the acid rain and the ecological problems that we were sorting out and that is what we were doing. What happened before then is they were to some extent indeed largely canceling each other out. So, the warning that we are actually seeing is because they cleaned up the smokestacks and its now accelerated quite rapidly up to the much steeper so i thought about Climate Change, thats what im actually speaking about. With regards to the extremes, there are a lot of problems without truly understanding and predicting actually understanding and predicting happens to the extremes. With. Bottom accesses the number of categories for a category one two, three, four five you are aware of zero was tropical storms. And those relative to all hurricanes. If you just focus on the little area inside here back in the 60s and 70s when we clean up the smokest
One of the first things you have to do in Scientific Evidence and whats happening in some of these crises is get the baseline data. That enabled to get the baseline data and also establish relationships between japan and International Scientists to pull together in a cooperative way to continue to trace whats happening with the Fukushima Ocean radioactivity. Also these scientists have worked very hard in getting information out to the japanese public. There was a workshop and public forum. The japanese came in droves and thanked the scientists for getting the unbiased, solid information out there. We worked very creatively through crowd sourcing to get, again, samples of water along the west coast and that has come in to be analyzed and shows that the level of threat s very, very low, well below a safety standard. We have a whole center devoted to it. I want to thank all of you for your interest this morning in this panel and please thank me in join me in thanking these distinguished s
Talked about threats at the white house at the Washington Post was reporting on watergate. December 20 third, 1972, about 9 00 p. M. , i reached John Mitchell by phone, about a story we were running. He said he had controlled a secret fund for undercover operations such as watergate. Mitchell was quite upset responding several times as i read him the story. He then proceeded to threaten an important private part of Katharine Grahams anatomy which he said would get caught in a big fat ringer if the post printed the story. He said we are going to do a story on all of you. He hung up the phone. I called ben at home. Woodward and i did much did not much observe the chain of command. Ben interrogated me. Had mitchell been drinking . I could not tell. Did i properly identify myself . Yes. Did i have good notes . Yes. Ok, ben said, put all of mitchells comments in the paper but leave out ms. Grahams tell the desk its ok, he said. A top official of the knicks on Nixon Campaign called me a few
According to Rodale Institute organic food and farming puts so much carbon back into Healthy Living organic soils that it can actually sequester more carbon than is being released in our atmosphere. So there actually are open source low Cost Solutions to sequestering carbon and it has to do with agriculture. Agriculture as we practice it today which is why we want to label g. M. O. s is because that agriculture has killed the soils releasing all the carbon into the atmosphere and is really contributing to Climate Change. Thank you very much. [applause] a lot of the issues that are going on internationally, i wanted to ask about as scientists that you are, what is your thoughts on fukushima and how come the government doesnt tell the truth . Im talking even about the u. N. , the effects of whats going on with fukushima, whats going on in the pacific ocean, the deaths occurring. Why doesnt that knowledge ever come out to the mainstream public how its affecting us now . How its affecting
The river party only lasted a few weeks, though. We did what any river loves would do. We floated it. By canoe, paddle boards. And eventually by foot crossing the shallows. I believe this is the colorado. Generally the real colorado has no water in it. But as you can see, its a pretty nice river right now. It looks amazing. Usually this part of the river is completely dry. Its sand. It has been many years like that. On may 7, after nine, 13hourlong paddling days we crossed 90 miles of the delta and reached the sea. It was the first and only paddle board crossing of the new delta. And the first time the Colorado River kissed the sea in nearly two decades. On many levels, it was a preposterous journey foolish, even wrong headed. I dont feel like im getting anywhere. The most absurd paddle Board Mission ever. Also beautiful and symbolic. And with a relative trickle, we can bring a river back to life if we try. [ applause] ill just say a couple words before we move on to bob and american r
