If you love conservation stories, then boy have I got a series for you. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began a program on Earth Day sharing stories about how accelerating climate change is affecting our nation. The series will run for 50 consecutive weekdays and cover each of the 50 states. Each story will look at the regional affects of climate change by examining the local challenges posed by climate change, or highlighting the science-based solutions and community actions that are making a difference for wild things and wild places. Each weekday brings a new story from a new state.
Since the series started on Earth Day, April 22, the service has published 15 stories (the 16th story will be published today) covering a wide variety of climate change-related topics from South Carolina, Massachusetts, Missouri, Louisiana, Idaho, California, Arizona, Delaware, Montana, North Carolina, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Ohio, Kentucky and Nebraska.
Click over to the Fish and Wildlife's Conservation in a Changing Climate site to learn about The Climate Challenge Game that is teaching kids in Ohio to understand the impacts of global warming on plants and animals in their environment; or the mysterious and possibly climate change-related disease that is affecting bats in Kentucky; or how folks in North Carolina are working together to prepare for the inevitable changes that rising temperatures will bring to their local environment.
A new story is posted each day, Monday through Friday, on the Fish and Wildlife's Open Spaces blog, or you can check out all of the stories at once at the Conservation in a Changing Climate site.

Climate Change? The world has walked away from taxing the air to make the weather colder. Because even Obama himself never even mentioned society's greatest crisis ever in his state of the union speech. Bush had his false war….
American IPPC funding was pulled and what did the countless thousands of consensus and concerned and saintly scientists do when they were snubbed? Nothing. Shouldn’t they have marched in the streets and demand air time to warn the world not to negate climate mitigation?
.... More
The new denier is anyone who still thinks climate change is a concern beyond the universities and lab coat consultants who for 25 years studied the effects (not the causes) of something that never happened. R.I.P. Climate Blame.
Will the scientists and news editors see their day in court for knowingly leading us to a false war against a non existent enemy of CO2 for 25 years of needless and costly panic? YES, most certainly because meanwhile, the UN had allowed carbon trading to trump 3rd world fresh water relief, starvation rescue and 3rd world education for just over 25 years of climate control instead of needed population control. REAL planet lovers and REAL progressives and REAL civilized and loving people were happy and relieved the science was criminally exaggerated leaving a bright future for our children instead of an unspeakable death on a dying planet from evil CO2. As for the rest of you, you can all go back to rubber necking car accidents, yelling “Fire” in the theatre and spooking the kids at Halloween. We know and won’t ever forget how much you remaining climate doomers enjoyed condemning billions of children to death just to get them to turn the lights out more often. Call the courthouse everyone. We missed getting Bush on his WMD’s so lets fix this otherwise history will condemn us for this insanity of climate control.
