Indelible Link, by Juni Fisher

Book nook adventure under the big top.

About the author: Juni fisher is a professional singer, song writer, performer, author and horse trainer who lives in nashville, Tenn. Her genre is western and cowboy music. She was raised on a farm in San Joaquin valley, Ca and was active in 4-H and ffa. While studying equine Science at the College of the Sequoias she rode horses for customers and was captain of the college horse show team. in 1984 she moved to Santa ynez, Ca to train cutting horses. Juni’s ability to ride at speed

Review by Tom Brannon Trapeze flyer Tattooed matilda finishes her signature act one night and seconds later, she’s hurtling toward the tanbark floor of the circus ring. Horribly injured she struggles to make sense of her condition while she grasps at memories of her troubled childhood and life as a star of a rag-tag troupe. outside her circus family, matilda remembers one true friend: lucky eddie. eddie is a sardonic, war-scarred, tattoo artist with a monkey called heroin on his back who bestows matilda’s first tattoo when she’s a shy, misfit teen. Their seemingly strange friendship deepens over the years, enduring eddie’s battle with addiction and matilda’s craving for tattoos while she chases the intoxicating lure of the spotlight. Theirs is a bond forged in tattoo ink.

Hired as a temp by a traveling circus to sell concessions, and serendipitously drawn into an impromptu trapeze act, matilda catches the eye of Bill, a trapeze flyer who is so infatuated by her that he proposes to her and she literally runs away with him and joins the circus. although the circus troupe is no less functional than her family, most of them are fond of matilda and one act at a time, she works her way up to the high wire.

But the circus tent that has fed matilda’s soul becomes a curtain of unimaginable heartache when tragedy befalls the world she knows and loves, and plummets her into a downward spiral that even bright lights, applause, and a new tat-

across the hills landed her with a position as a professional “whipper-in” with a foxhunt club in Tennessee. after that, point to point racing, steeplechasing, and eventing took the place of cow horses, while she honed her songwriting skills among some nashville’s finest writers. in 2012 she returned to the cow horse world by winning the nrCHa Celebrity Cow Horse Challenge and continues to train and show.

too can’t mask.

The time line in this book jumps back and forth between 1958, where a comatose matilda is lying in a hospital bed, and her youth in the early 1940s. for the several months that she is slowly healing, she can hear and understand, but cannot talk or communicate. The segments describing each event in time are as short as two paragraphs or as long as several pages. This is not confusing, however, as each segment is clearly dated and the chronology is in logical order. matilda and her siblings, each by different fathers, are raised by her grandparents in new orleans, since her mother has run off with her latest fling. She is pretty (although she doesn’t realize it), introspective and shy. The one thing that she feels confident about are the tattoos applied by eddie.

Indelible Link cues up the music for a high flying, wild ride back to the time when the train pulled into town and a traveling circus arrived to promise a magical

A Man Walks Into a Barn

By Nancy Brannon, Ph.D. no doubt you’ve heard numerous times the clichéic joke intro, “a man walks into a bar…” The title of this book foreshadows the humor and “outsider” insight from an “insider’s” perspective of the world of horses and horse people. This is the book for all the parents of horse crazy girls (and boys) who are primed for horse and pony camp this year – but especially for dads.

“This is a book with several topics. one of them is parenthood and its challenges, and how it involves a constant journey into the unknown,” he writes. How we measure success is another theme in the book. is it about ribbons and championships, or is there something more important? in Chapter 16, he summarizes the life’s lessons learned from his fifteen years as a “horse dad.” you might event think “oldfather” a pseudonym for the author’s real name. But not; Chad oldfather really is a Professor of law at marquette university law School. Perhaps his dry sense of humor began in the town where he grew up, as he describes: “the thoroughly Wobegonian but unfortunately named kiester, minnesota (population: 501).” Having published numerous articles in a wide array of law journals, it almost goes unsaid that this book is well-written. “i write because i enjoy doing it,” he says. “Somewhere along the line i started reading The Chronicle of the Horse,” and later he made his debut writing a blog for The Chronicle.

“When i started blogging for The Chronicle of the Horse, i had a vague notion that i might one day use my posts as the beginnings of a book chronicling my experiences and observations as a horse dad.” and there you have it. oldfather’s delve into the realm of horses began when he found himself the parent of a toddler who was obsessed with horses. Then, as his younger daughters become similarly afflicted, he soon became enmeshed in the subculture of barns, riding, and horse shows, learning not just about the animals that drew his girls, but also about the people and personalities of “horse people.”

His journey begins at the boarding barn, appy orse acres. for newbie parents in the horse world, his descriptions of the riding disciplines of hunter/jumper, dressage, and eventing will be informative, but “old news” to horse folks. However, even horse folks will identify with the long waits at hunter/jumper shows while nothing happens in the arena, as opposed to dressage shows when everyone has specific ride times. and you can identify with the horse that doesn’t want to load in the trailer to go home after the day-long 4-H show at the County fair (with more waiting), and a rider’s first big milestone: falling off and learning to get back on. eventually the family reaches the second big milestone: a horse of their own.

as his girls develop their riding skills and progress through the ranks, you may recognize the names of some of their riding coaches and clinicians, and the opportunities they are afforded, like riding in an emerging athletes Program (eaP) clinic and making it to the “Pony finals” at the kentucky Horse Park (kHP). How many of us have taken our children to ride at events at the kHP? in Chapter 11, he writes his observations about george morris, “who was the dominant figure in the hunter/jumper world.” yet, oldfather is “conflicted” about the former olympic show jumping coach who later received a lifetime ban from the sport based on allegations of abuse of some of the young men who trained with him in his early days. “So far as i’m aware, there were no problems with abuse in any of the activities in which my daughters took part,” and he goes on to describe some of morris’ comments and advice to the students in his clinics. i’ll leave the rest for you to read (pp. 209-219). for trainers, or coaches of any youth sport, there are “things to take to heart,” he advises. “remember that nobody makes mistakes on purpose. good trainers don’t gossip, especially about their own clients. Have no favorites. Be honest. good trainers have a plan. accept feedback. Have respect for your clients’ time and money. Be always learning.” The last one is what inspires me: i’m always interested in learning something new. a book for parents and equestrians, A Man Walks Into a Barn is a wise, witty look at the world of horses and horse people. oldfather strives to be the best dad he can, supporting his children's dreams, writing about his parenting choices. He describes this world with humor and honesty, critically examining riding’s high cost and the inaccessibility and inequality that results.

Measuring Foal IgG: How and When

By Kentucky Equine Research Staff foals possess the ability to produce infection-fighting antibodies, called immunoglobulins or igs, from the moment they’re born. What they don’t possess is pre-existing igs in their bloodstream at the time of birth to protect them from the onslaught of bacteria and other infection-inducing microorganisms in their new environment.

“This lack of maternal transfer of immunity is somewhat of an evolutionary drawback, leaving foals highly susceptible to threatening infections, especially, pneumonia, joint infections, and sepsis,” noted kathleen Crandell, Ph.D., a kentucky equine research nutritionist. foals, therefore, require a healthy meal of colostrum—the mare’s first milk laden with igs to temporarily provide immunity until the foal’s own immune system swings into full gear. Here’s what you

need to know about the process of passive transfer of immunity: • Time is of the essence. a foal loses its ability to absorb igs after 18-24 hours; • assisting foals to stand and encouraging them to nurse from their dam as soon as possible after birth will decrease the risk of failure of passive transfer; • allow them to nurse as frequently as they wish; • if the mare begins leaking colostrum prior to the foal nursing, collect the colostrum and bottle feed it to the foal instead. alternatively, have some frozen colostrum (available commercially) for back-up purposes; • measure the foal’s igg levels between 18 and 24 hours of life to ensure sufficient passive transfer has been achieved. ideally, igg levels exceed 8 grams/liter.

“Several methods of measuring iggs to ensure sufficient immunity exist, each with some pros and cons. one study* conducted over a five-year period found that all three of the tested techniques proved

sufficiently capable of diagnosing failure of passive transfer in neonatal foals,” shared Crandell.

Some examples of these tests include two laboratory tests called a radial immunodiffiusion assay (riD) and electrophoreses. riD is currently the “gold standard,” with electrophoresis coming in a close second; however, specialized equipment is required and the results take about 24 hours.

Stall-side assays using handheld instruments called refractometers are available.

These refractometers also have some drawbacks, but they appear to be valid and useful tools for the rapid, inexpensive screening of successful passive transfer of immunity.

“To add more bang to your mare’s colostrum, ensure her overall nutritional needs are being met and supplement with omega-3 fatty acids. This supports not only the mare during gestation, but also the foal’s ocular and cognitive development early in life,” Crandell added.

Brooke USA Aids Horses and Equestrians in Ukraine lexington, ky – april 7, 2022 - Brooke uSa foundation announced the establishment of its ukraine emergency fund and asks its supporters to help equestrians and their horses as it joins the many organizations supporting relief efforts in that nation. funds raised will be forwarded to the ukrainian equestrian federation Charity foundation (uefCf; registered in Belgium) with assistance from the fei (international equestrian federation) and uSef (united States equestrian federation) via the uSef Disaster relief fund. according to uefCf, there are more than 100,000 horses in ukraine, many of which are caught up in the war, with no possibility to flee and seek safety nor access to shelter or veterinary care. Horse owners, riding schools, athletes, breeders, and riders are suffering under desperate conditions without any means to save their horses. “By making a donation to Brooke uSa, donors can provide the ukrainian equestrian community with a way to help themselves and their beloved equine companions – whether providing feed, bedding, shelter, veterinary care, medications, and other essential needs,” stated katherine kaneb, Chair of the Board of Directors of Brooke uSa. Brooke uSa has received several email messages and calls asking for the organization to support those in ukraine who are living amidst a war zone, lacking essential services and access to meeting their most basic needs.

“Just imagine if life is difficult for humans; their equine companions are completely at risk.

Those who care for them are forced to flee or

have no means to provide for them. We have heard that many ukraine horse owners are staying with their horses because of the difficulty of transporting them out of the country. The situation is truly desperate for all, added kaneb.

Brooke uSa is in a unique position to help both humans and equines as the lives of both are intertwined. 100% of the funds raised will be designated for direct support services. uefCf is helping with the relocation of horses and gathering and distributing goods for equestrians and their horses. initially, the fund was established to manage a hotline for equestrians in ukraine and those organizations offering help to ukrainians. uefCf has expanded their efforts to include coordinating help and operations in ukraine, offering counselling and other needs-based assistance. over the last month, outreach efforts assisting horses and humans displaced by the ongoing attacks in ukraine amounted to more than 375 tons of feed, haylage and bedding. 150 tons were immediately distributed to 30 different stables in across ukraine.

“Current donations are meeting immediate needs, but we know that the commitment to aid our fellow equestrians will require long-term support. We know that the welfare of these horses is paramount to their owners,” stated emily Dulin, Chief executive officer of Brooke uSa.

The Foundation for the Horse Awards $50,000 to Ukraine Equine Relief

By Keith Kleine The foundation for the Horse, the charitable arm of the american association of equine Practitioners (aaeP), announced on april 11, 2022 a donation of $50,000 to help horses in ukraine and neighboring countries.

The foundation is distributing the money through its partnership with the British equine veterinary association (Beva) and its charitable arm Beva Trust. The groups are collaborating on equine relief efforts in and around ukraine with two additional organizations, British vet Professionals for ukraine, and British equestrians for ukraine.

The goal of this partnership and initial $50,000 gift is to support the veterinary and equestrian communities that have “boots on the ground” and are making an immediate impact for all horses and working equids in ukraine and in neighboring countries to which animals have been evacuated, including Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, romania, and moldova.

This aid is made possible by individual donors who responded to the foundation’s

appeal for assistance in march as well as a matching donation by the foundation.

“This financial support and partnership with the aaeP and its foundation for the Horse is appreciated and needed,” said David rendle, president-elect of Beva.

“Horses and animals have not been spared from the horrific death and destruction in ukraine. external support is needed urgently to limit their suffering. monetary support is needed to allow us to get medical supplies and equipment to veterinarians and horse owners both inside ukraine and at the border.”

The images and reports from ukraine and border countries are heart-wrenching.

While many residents fleeing ukraine are trying to take their pets and animals with them, thousands of displaced horses and other animals remain behind. visit The foundation for the Horse at https://www.foundationforthehorse.org/gi ve-now/ to make your gift. you may also give directly to Beva Trust at: https://www.justgiving.com/bevatrust to support this combined effort for the horses of ukraine.

for the last eight years, the Hillsboro Hounds have reserved the first Saturday in march as the annual youth Day, devoted to educating and supporting juniors in the hunt field. from local Pony Clubs to 4-H clubs, to lesson barns, to family members, everyone is invited. Children have open invitations with the Hillsboro Hounds during the season, but this day is committed to explaining the sport to newcomers and educating children on how to participate in this sport, and carry it on in the future. foxhunting can be enjoyed in many ways. There are people who love horses and riding, others who love dogs or enjoy hunting, and folks who simply love the land and its wide-open spaces – all crucial elements to the sport of foxhunting.

This year boasted a field of 52 riders including 14 children on their respective horses and ponies. over 65 additional friends and guests from the surrounding areas of middle Tennessee came to learn and have fun, enjoying various activities for children of all ages. a delicious lunch was provided by TenneeSweet food Co. The time-honored tradition of crowning a dedicated husband/father of Hillsboro Hounds to become the year’s stick horse

Fiona King, Hillsboro Junior Rosie Voigt, Field Master Dana Burke hunt quarry was a highlight of the day. The brigade of “former foxes” chose their unsuspecting new participant during lunch.

Happily, the new “fox” put on quite a delightful chase for the children, only to remark at their unexpected speed and swift footedness once he was caught! as the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child.” Hillsboro Hounds provides the type of community where everyone joyfully gathers in an atmosphere of tradition, promotion, and conservation.

Nashoba Carriage Club’s Spring Driving Derby

By Michelle Harn; photos by Brooke Ballenger “Zoom Zoom” is the phrase Derby drivers say to encourage their fellow drivers. it also describes the wind blowing through the nashoba Carriage association’s Driving Derby clinic held on april 23, 2022 at kimberlin farms in olive Branch, miss.

Clinician Joanna Wilburn got her steps in early as she walked the course multiple times with the drivers, pointing out the strategic ways to guide their horses through the maze of paired cones and miniature tepee-like obstacle gates. originally, the course included plastic barrels, but the wind proved too formidable, so they were gathered into a grouping that became an obstacle to drive a circle around. each driver went through the pattern multiples times to refine their skills and decrease the time elapsed. Joanna used two-way communication headsets to coach the drivers as they navigated the course. These conversations were trans-

mitted over a speaker system for the benefit of the many auditors.

The nashoba Carriage Club is well known for its friendly, welcoming people who love good food. This clinic was no exception, as lively chatting and snacks were plentiful on the sidelines. after the Derby course, drivers had the opportunity to drive a Cones course, capably designed by Junior driver alex Clark.

She limited the course to 12-pairs of cones, that were generously spaced apart, to encourage the more novice drivers and horses. The need-for-speed was fulfilled by several drivers who let their horses challenge the speed of the day’s wind and kept their course times low.

Carriage driving attracts a wide range of drivers and equines, as was in evidence this day. There were miniature Horses, Welsh ponies, a Percheron, a Dutch Harness Horse cross, a friesian cross, a gypsy vanner, and drivers from a 16-year-old to… well, it’s impolite to ask a grey-haired lady her age.

The field was in excellent condition despite the wet spring, and scattered trees provided much needed shade. Summer definitely arrived in time for the event.

The group held their first-ever egg Hunt on Sunday after Saturday’s Derby clinic. Drivers and their grooms scoured

Ken Daniels, Navigator the field for hidden boiled eggs. When found, the grooms would dismount the carriage, grab the egg, and the drivers would race their horses back to their basket to deposit the egg. multiple trips around the field gathering eggs and avoiding other carriages was a unique way to hold an easter egg Hunt! visit: www.nashobacarriage.org or follow them on facebook.

UT Martin Spring Rodeo

By Ryne Rickman; photos by UT Martin University Relations marTin, Tenn. – The ned mcWherter agricultural Pavilion was rocking at full capacity on april 7-9, 2022 for the 54th annual university of Tennessee at martin Spring College rodeo.

Saturday’s performance was capped off with a touching tribute to head coach John luthi, who announced in february that he is retiring at the end of this season. The gridley, kansas native has spent the last 25 seasons leading the uT martin rodeo program and has been a collegiate head coach for 41 years.

The Skyhawk men’s team finished second in the team standings with 725 points – the team’s most points since a 975-point effort at murray State on nov. 21-23, 2019. on the women’s side, uT martin posted 70 points, which led to a seventhplace finish.

Blake leamon got things started in bareback riding as the senior out of Cleveland, Tenn. placed fourth in the short go with 73 points. in calf roping, Cole Walker stood out as one of the best cowboys in the field. He registered the top time (9.5 seconds) in the short round and finished second in the opening go (10.5) and in average (20.0).

Will mcCraw additionally brought home points for uT martin as his 11.3 in the first

UTM Coach John Luthi round was good enough for sixth.

Jack Smithson was equally impressive in saddle bronc riding, pacing the field in average (147). That came after he placed second in both the opening round and in the short go with scores of 75 and 72, respectively. a trio of Skyhawk cowboys compiled points in steer wrestling, led by logan neal: third place with a 12.4 average, third place with a 6.7 short go, sixth place with a 5.7 first-round effort. Cole Harmon earned points in all three phases, generating fifth-place performances in average (14.9), short round (9.7) and first go (5.2).

Jesse keysaer split third with a time of 5.0 seconds flat in the opening round, leading him to a sixth-place finish in average. grace Bryant was responsible for points in the goat tying event, finishing third in the short go (7.0 seconds) and fourth in the average (14.3 seconds). mcCraw and Walker joined forces in

team roping, managing the best first-round time in the event with a 6.4. The uT martin tandem followed that with fifth-place efforts in the short go (13.3) and in average (19.7). in barrel racing, mollie Stroup cashed in points in all three phases – starting with an impressive 13.65 in the opening round that ranked second in the field. She eventually placed fifth with a 27.52 average after placing sixth in the short go (13.87). only three cowboys picked up points in bull riding and uT martin’s Wyatt Hart was on the short list. The senior from

Blaine, Tenn. placed second in average and in the opening round with a 78-point ride to start the event.

My Smoky Mountain Adventure

On the trail

By Josh Guin We loaded the trailer and hit the road early. We were riders with a cause. The plan was to cover the great Smoky mountains national Park from the western to the eastern side. five riders and a team of drivers to restock our supplies would soon be on the adventure of a lifetime. our adventure would begin at Cades Cove Campground. We set up camp in a muddy mess with clear signs of wild hogs and bears. Campfire chili was on the menu, but the bear warning signs made us a little worried about the aroma. upon returning from washing dishes in the creek, we stumbled across our first black bear. it was a cute cub only 20 feet from us. We slowly backed away and gave it some room as it quickly ran away. after a good poker game, we “hit the hay.” up and at 'em bright and early, we tacked up and loaded the panniers with 125 pounds of grain to last until our next restock in two days. like a corny scene from “City Slickers,” we yelled our yeehaws as we headed up the mountain. We made our way through russell field and continued to climb higher in elevation until we made it to the appalachian Trail.

The appalachian Trail is an interstate hiking trail that spans 2,000 miles from georgia to maine. it would be the most populated trail of our entire ride. mollie’s ridge Shelter would house us our first night in the backcountry. The shelter was a modest lean-to design with wood bunks, a brick fire place, and had a nearby water source. We secured the horses to a highline in front of the shelter and mixed grain for their evening meal, ate our own food, and caught some shut eye. at sunup, we broke camp and tacked up the horses. after tangling with a rattlesnake, we mounted up and headed out of camp. it was a quite a sight! Some of the prettiest and most varied country you'll ever see. There were times when we were surrounded by misty waterfalls and lush green leaves, where it felt like a cool rainforest floor, and then five miles further up the trail, you could see hundreds of miles from a mountaintop. it was enjoyable and we felt at ease as we neared our restock, when all at once two bears came plummeting from a tree right above us! my mount and pack horse didn’t see the need to stick around and, honestly, neither did i. But with tight reins, i steered them back in a southern direction to our destination.

We camped on the bank of fontana lake that night and, even though it was shared with a snake, i enjoyed a bath in the lake.

The next day the trails were more challenging. We rode switchbacks and cliffside

trails most of the day, cutting through over 20 trees to make passage. However, it was well worth the effort. When we finally made it over the mountain, we rode down into one of the most amazing places of our journey: an old ghost town named Proctor.

Proctor, north Carolina is situated between the high peaks of the mountains and the crystal-clear waters of fontana lake. as we rode into town, the trails turned into overgrown gravel roads littered with old relics of a long-forgotten way of life. Proctor was a small logging town built in the 1800s. in awe, we took in the old wash pans, ruins of homesteads, and even an old car sitting on the side of the road. i was in historical heaven in this place; what a paradise! We camped that night near the last remaining building in the old town. The horses gorged themselves in an abandoned pasture as we took in the view and explored the town. The day sure turned out to be nice. The horses were happy, my team was happy, and i was happy. it made for peaceful night’s sleep, even in a ghost town. feeling young and spry again, we rode out at sunup looking to make the 3,200foot climb to Peck's Corner Shelter on the appalachian Trail. That evening the weather turned severe. With mud up to our horse's pasterns, we were happy to camp in an appalachian Trail backcountry shelter. Soon we had a roaring fire and before nightfall, several hikers found our camp and swarmed our fire like moths to a flame. abiding by the cowboy code, we gave them rest in front of our warmth and we hit the hay.

The next day we traveled over some of the highest points in the Smokies, topping at over 6,000 feet. even though the clouds blocked our view, i could feel the gravity of our 3-foot-wide trail right next to 2,000 feet of nothing – if we fell. The highlight of the day was riding next to the wreckage of an f4 Phantom Jet that had crashed into the side of the mountain peak in the mid80s. Despite the dangers, the Smokies

treated us well on this day, safely guiding us to Cosby knob, our final campsite. a beautiful sunrise greeted us as we headed out on the last leg of our journey.

We had only four miles to our final destination. as we made our way down from the high mountains, down into the hemlock forests and babbling brooks, i felt as

though i had been kissed by god. The amazement of this wonderful creation made me feel so small and fragile, yet cared for in the times of enjoyment and wonder, and in the times of weariness. i will never forget my journey in the great Smoky mountains.

2022 IPCC Report: At the Crossroads geneva, april 4, 2022 – from 20102019 average annual global greenhouse gas emissions were at their highest levels in human history, but the rate of growth has slowed. Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5°C is beyond reach. However, there is increasing evidence of climate action, said scientists in the latest intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (iPCC) report released today, april 4, 2022.

Since 2010, there have been sustained decreases of up to 85% in the costs of solar and wind energy, and batteries. an increasing range of policies and laws have enhanced energy efficiency, reduced rates of deforestation and accelerated the deployment, of renewable energy.

“We are at a crossroads. The decisions we make now can secure a liveable future.

We have the tools and know-how required to limit warming,” said iPCC Chair Hoesung lee. “i am encouraged by climate action being taken in many countries. There are policies, regulations, and market instruments that are proving effective. if these are scaled up and applied more widely and equitably, they can support deep emissions reductions and stimulate innovation.”

The Summary for Policymakers of the iPCC Working group iii report, Climate Change 2022: mitigation of climate change was approved on april 4, 2022 by 195 member governments of the iPCC, through a virtual approval session that started on march 21. it is the third installment of the iPCC’s Sixth assessment report (ar6), which will be completed this year.

We have options in all sectors to at least halve emissions by 2030 limiting global warming will require major transitions in the energy sector. This will involve a substantial reduction in fossil fuel use, widespread electrification, improved energy efficiency, and use of alternative fuels (such as hydrogen).

“Having the right policies, infrastruc-

Greener pastures

ture, and technology in place to enable changes to our lifestyles and behavior can result in a 40-70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This offers significant untapped potential,” said iPCC Working group iii Co-Chair Priyadarshi Shukla. “The evidence also shows that these lifestyle changes can improve our health and wellbeing.”

Cities and other urban areas also offer significant opportunities for emissions reductions. These can be achieved through lower energy consumption (such as by creating compact, walkable cities), electrification of transport in combination with low-emission energy sources, and enhanced carbon uptake and storage using nature. There are options for established, rapidly growing, and new cities.

“We see examples of zero energy or zero-carbon buildings in almost all climates,” said iPCC Working group iii CoChair Jim Skea. “action in this decade is critical to capture the mitigation potential of buildings.” reducing emissions in industry will involve using materials more efficiently, reusing and recycling products and minimizing waste. for basic materials, including steel, building materials and chemicals, low- to zero-greenhouse gas production processes are at their pilot to near-commercial stage.

This sector accounts for about a quarter of global emissions. achieving net zero will be challenging and will require new production processes, low and zero emissions electricity, hydrogen, and, where necessary, carbon capture and storage. agriculture, forestry, and other land use can provide large-scale emissions reductions and also remove and store carbon dioxide at scale. However, land cannot compensate for delayed emissions reductions in other sectors. response options can benefit biodiversity, help us adapt to climate change, and secure livelihoods, food and water, and wood supplies.

The next few years are critical in the scenarios we assessed, limiting

There is also data on the percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, changes in global temperature, arctic Sea ice extent, percentage loss of ice sheets, sea level rises, and more. on this website you can find detailed

facts on the evidence, causes, effects, vital signs, and scientific consensus. under the Solutions tab, find information on earth science, mitigation and adaption, sustainability, and government resources. under the explore tab is where you’ll find the images of change, videos, interactive, amazing images in the Beautiful earth gallery, and earth 360, where you can join scientists for a 360-degree view of the planet. visit: https://climate.nasa.gov/

warming to around 1.5°C (2.7°f) requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest, and be reduced by 43% by 2030; at the same time, methane would also need to be reduced by about a third. even if we do this, it is almost inevitable that we will temporarily exceed this temperature threshold, but could return to below it by the end of the century. “it’s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C (2.7°f),” said Skea. “Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.”

The global temperature will stabilize when carbon dioxide emissions reach net zero. for 1.5°C (2.7°f), this means achieving net zero carbon dioxide emissions globally in the early 2050s; for 2°C (3.6°f), it is in the early 2070s.

This assessment shows that limiting warming to around 2°C (3.6°f) still requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest, and be reduced by a quarter by 2030.

Closing investment gaps The report looks beyond technologies and demonstrates that while financial flows are a factor of three to six times lower than levels needed by 2030 to limit warming to below 2°C (3.6°f), there is sufficient global capital and liquidity to close investment gaps. However, it relies on clear signaling from governments and the international community, including a stronger alignment of public sector finance and policy.

“Without taking into account the economic benefits of reduced adaptation costs or avoided climate impacts, global gross Domestic Product (gDP) would be just a few percentage points lower in 2050 if we take the actions necessary to limit warming to 2°C (3.6°f) or below, compared to maintaining current policies,” said Shukla.

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals accelerated and equitable climate action in mitigating and adapting to climate change impacts is critical to sustainable development. Some response options can absorb and store carbon and, at the same time, help communities limit the impacts associated with climate change. for ex-

ample, in cities, networks of parks and open spaces, wetlands and urban agriculture can reduce flood risk and reduce heatisland effects. mitigation in industry can reduce environmental impacts and increase employment and business opportunities. electrification with renewables and shifts in public transport can enhance health, employment, and equity.

“Climate change is the result of more than a century of unsustainable energy and land use, lifestyles, and patterns of consumption and production,” said Skea.

“This report shows how taking action now can move us towards a fairer, more sustainable world.”

Editor’s Notes: on april 7, 2022, nPr reported that the future cost of climate inaction could cost $2 trillion a year. With time running out to head off the worst damage from climate change, the u.S. government is starting to quantify the cost of inaction for taxpayers.

The White House office of management and Budget (omB) released the first ever accounting of how unchecked global warming would impact the federal budget, looking at its potential to dampen the economy as a whole, and balloon the costs of climate-related programs over time.

Based on current warming trends, omB predicted climate change could reduce the country’s gross Domestic Product, or economic output, by as much as 10% by the end of this century. major storms, floods, wildfires and other extreme weather events already cause around $120 billion a year in damages in the u.S., according to omB. The costs of six types of federal, disaster-related programs could rise anywhere from $25 billion to $128 billion by the end of the century.

Climate risks to national security, changes to ecosystems, and infrastructure expenditures do not have yet a price tag attached to them. But the cost to public health and businesses “will be larger than the impact on our fiscal balance sheet,” wrote the report's authors. read the full article at: https://www.npr.org/2022/04/07/1091258 821/the-future-cost-of-climate-inaction-2trillion-a-year-says-the-government

Audubon: Earth Day Events earth Day, april 22, is a special day to join the global community in taking a moment to rejoice in nature. We receive beautiful bird photos every week from the audubon Society, so in commemoration of earth Day and the spring migration, we are sharing some of those photos with you.

Spring is migration season and birds are able to change their bodies in incredible ways for migration. migrating is a major physical challenge. The energy required to fly hundreds or thousands of miles in a short span leaves birds with little room for error and vulnerable to many natural and human-caused threats. in preparation for such perilous journeys, birds undergo physical transformation unmatched by human gains from years of training.

To fly vast distances between breeding and wintering grounds, birds can shrink their internal organs, rapidly gain and burn through fat stores, reduce sleep requirements, and more. read more about some of the incredible ways that birds morph their bodies for migration here: www.audubon.org/news/five-incredibleways-birds-change-their-bodies-springand-fall-migration Spring migration is here and some of our favorite warblers have started arriving—and with them, plenty of confusion.

Whether you’re inside birding by your window or strolling through your favorite patch, identifying individual tunes through the cacophony of birdsongs is pretty advanced stuff. listen here to audubon’s online guide to identifying warbler songs:
