- For decades, scientists have warned about the consequences of deforestation and fossil fuel burning that have led to today’s climate and biodiversity crises. They have also conducted careful research that has helped inform development of nature-based solutions. Despite the urgency of the interdependent crises and the agency we have in helping address them, there abound efforts to discredit peer-reviewed climate change science. Dr. Simard’s talk will delve into recent backlash she has experienced over her science that informs climate solutions for the forests of western North America.
This keynote talk was delivered at the 2024 Bioneers Conference. To see other talks from the conference, visit www.bioneers.or...
Thank you for this beautiful talk . The message from the Amazon is encouraging.
Thank you Suzanne, my all time hero. I actually live on the ancestral lands of Subiyay and the Skokomish. Had no idea. I am so glad to know his legacy.
If all the trees are clearcut, rain can’t follow the roots into the water table.
Without transpiration trees can’t moisten the atmosphere and retain the water table.
So it gets hotter when sunlight falls on bare earth instead of a 30 metre tall insulated tree canopy.
When it gets hotter with dryer air, the weather changes.
If the weather changes often the climate is affected.
Winds change, it rains less and the rains run right off because
The forest is our sponge and heat absorber
