View the video, "The Experiment," filmed at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory with David Inouye and Paul Erhlich. These scientists have up to 50 years of monitoring data on snowpack melt, phenology of wildflower blooms, arrival of hummingbirds and pollinators out of synch. The film shows 20+ years of artificial climate change plots' response to heating, presented by these engaging scientists. Karl Ford previewed his new book Colorado Mountain Ecosystems in Crisis, A Field Report from the Colorado Trail. And Alison Gallensky updated us on Wild Connections Climate Change Resiliency Project.
