Preamble to Town Hall Meetings:
A note regarding the ERA’s membership process: Presentations on the agenda below are often about people and organizations that are being considered for membership in the ERA. Once someone has presented at a Town Hall meeting, any member may raise concerns or objections regarding their membership to Jon Schull (jsc...@EcoRestorationAlliance.org) or anyone else on the ERA board. If no concerns or objections are raised within a week of the presentation, the presenter is considered to be accepted as a member. If any concerns or objections are raised, the board will then consider the issues raised, and if needed, vote as to whether the entity will be accepted as a member. More detail here.
Member Survey (If you haven't already, please participate!!)
Brian Von Herzen, Climate Foundation on Aerosol Termination Shock.
This is a big deal. In recent years, the international shipping industry accidentally broke the climate. It now seems likely that by (laudably) stopping emissions, they reduced artificial clouds over the oceans and produced near-instaneous off-the-charts temperature increases.
ERA member Brian Von Herzen of the Climate Foundation will give us the scientific and political backstories here (the IMO was warned!), and introduce an initiative our two organizations (and perhaps others) are exploring: high-profile advocacy and action-research investigation of nature-based techniques that could help restore cloud cover and reduce temperatures...quickly!
We are considering an open letter and petition to the International Maritime Organization that ERA members would be invited to sign. This could be a high risk, high reward initiative for the ERA and for the planet, so I hope you can attend and help us navigate the waters.
P.S. our next Town Hall (9am Nov 26, the day before Thanksgiving) will be extraordinary too: Tim Christophersen author of the new (and terrific) book Generation Restoration: How to Fix Our Relationship Crisis with Mother Nature will our featured interlocutor!
(P.S. I found a bargain price for Tim's book. If you order from the link above, consider a $5 donation to ERA. That's what you'll save!)
