2012-07-13 - Betts Delivers Climate Challenge at WEC Annual Meeting
The climate, in a sense, is a living
machine. The component parts
of the machine include energy
(heat and light) from the sun, water in
its various forms (crystal, liquid, vapor),
carbon dioxide, and of course life. Their
interplay sets forces in motion. That, in
turn, sets the course of the machine.
For the past several decades
their interplay has increasingly been
influenced by humanity’s affect upon
the environment – a teeming swarm
now of seven billion people whose
capacity for consuming and emitting
has been magnified a thousand-fold by
industry and technology. Consequently,
the machine has been churning out
warmer, shorter winters in Vermont, and
measurably longer growing seasons.
The latter has its benefits, but they
come with a price.
In his address to the Washington
Electric Cooperative members who
attended WEC’s Annual Membership
Meeting on May 24, titled “Climate
Change—What’s in Store for Vermont,”
Dr. Alan Betts, of Pittsford, Vermont, did
not use the analogy of the machine.
Yet his more scholarly term, “climate
feedback processes,” conveyed a
similar impression of forces set in
motion which fuel themselves and rev
the engine of climate change.

2012-07-11 - A lost generation: No progress on reducing climate change
Twenty years ago, in a flush of enthusiasm at the end of the cold war, participants at a United Nations conference in Rio forged the Convention on Climate Change to protect the Earth. This led to the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately the U.S. Congress refused to sign this protocol, and it proved ineffective.
