CO2-fearing biologist argues that clean energy "will ensure a heck of a lot more jobs"; doesn't want CO2 causing the opening scene of the "Sound of Music" to occur outside Elko, Nevada

Mary Ellen Harte: The Face of Climate Change: Walloped Wildlife and Flowers in the Colorado Rockies

In 1990, the first field global warming experiment began at our lab, the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) by John Harte, an ecologist and my husband. The experiment tracked how subalpine field plots fared under a constant warming of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, the heating estimated at that time to occur under a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide, the main gas behind global warming.
...
The result? Basically, heated plots went from wildflower meadow to sagebrush habitat, while unheated ones kept their flowers. As John puts it, imagine the opening scene of the "Sound of Music" occurring outside Elko, Nevada.
...Making the U.S. a global clean energy leader will ensure a heck of a lot more jobs, and a clean, safe future. If you'd like to tell Congress you'll VOTE for clean energy you can join the increasing numbers of people doing so here.
