Climate Change Books

Do you like reading books about climate change? If so, you’re in luck! I’m developing a whole new website that I hope you’ll enjoy.

Climate Change Books is an online book catalog and book blog with a focus on climate change books. This includes climate fiction, climate nonfiction, climate poetry, and everything in between.

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve completed my “first draft” of the site! I still have to add a lot of reading lists, reviews, and so on. But it has all of the basics you’ll need to get a sense of what the site is and how readers like you would use it. All that’s left is to get some feedback on the site design and content before I make any more changes or do any promotions.

That’s where you come in. I’m looking for people who are willing to look at the site and fill out a short Google form survey.

The full title of the presentation was “Community GHG [Greenhouse Gas] Inventory Baseline 2019 and Energy Sovereignty, Security, and Democracy.”

Stop The Harassment. Support Clinic Access.

On May 16, an anti-choice organization called Coalition Life announced that it’s filing a lawsuit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of a Carbondale ordinance that prohibits protestors from approaching people within 100 feet of a medical clinic.

The article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has a good overview of the basics of the situation. Since I live in Carbondale and can’t stand what Coalition Life is doing in our community, I’m here to add a few important points of information and share my commentary on the matter.
