Join CCL's quarterly Ask Me Anything (AMA) to discuss the latest IPCC report (AR6/WG1) and broader climate science. This session features Dana Nuccitelli, CCL Research Coordinator and leader of the Science Policy Network, alongside Dr. Ben Santer, a distinguished research scientist from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Dr. Santer is renowned for his pioneering "climate fingerprint" research, which identifies human influence on global climate. For deeper engagement, explore his work on climate fingerprints and his recent essay on the IPCC report. Additionally, CCL offers a Climate Science Basics Training for foundational understanding.

The Turtle Lodge and Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre (MFNERC) present Wahbanang: The Resurgence of our People – Clearing the Path for Our Survival. It commemorates the 50th Anniversary of Wahbung: Our Tomorrows.

Authored by Anishinaabe, Ininiwak (Cree), and Dakota Knowledge Keepers, Elders, and Chiefs, Wahbanang shares ancestral wisdom. It offers an urgent warning and a blueprint for all peoples to uphold the Great Binding Laws of the Creator and Mother Earth. Includes a video presentation.

Wahbanang, meaning 'Going Back to the beginning,' builds on the 1971 Wahbung, which asserted First Nations' inherent rights. It originated from a 2018 Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) initiative at the Turtle Lodge. It is available for purchase here.

Lithium Nevada Corporation plans a 28-square-mile lithium mine in Thacker Pass, Nevada. This project faces significant opposition from environmentalists, local ranchers, farmers, and several Native American tribes. Concerns center on the mine's potential harm to wildlife, water resources, pollution, and the destruction of sacred sites, highlighting the vast scale of the proposed operation.

Nevada is home to some of the last wild places. Help protect these lands for future generations by visiting ProtectThackerPass.org.

Paul Slovic examines "psychic numbing," our tendency to ignore mass tragedies despite valuing individual lives. He explains that as numbers grow, we become desensitized, failing to act against catastrophic losses from poverty, disease, climate disasters, and violence. Understanding this cognitive bias is crucial for motivating effective responses.

Dr. Slovic, a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon and President of Decision Research (which he co-founded), is a leading expert in risk perception. His extensive work, including research on global threats, has earned him numerous accolades, such as election to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Ecoacoustics scientist Emilia Decker uses an underwater microphone to record freshwater stream soundscapes. From chattering fish to burping sediment, she reveals a hidden world. Her research demonstrates that careful listening can create a sustainable, non-invasive tool to monitor ecosystem health, while also highlighting the devastating impact of human noise pollution.

With a Ph.D. in ecoacoustics from her work in South-East Queensland, Australia, Emilia aims to inspire engagement with underwater wonders. She seeks to develop a cutting-edge monitoring tool for freshwater systems.
