The Quivara Coalition’s Conference

by Nate Downey

Really glad to have attended the Quivara Coalition's conference in ABQ last week. Here's one of my favorite slides from Gregg Simonds' talk. As Christine Jones pointed out during her talk on the same day, the "water issue" compared to "human caused climate change" is easier for some people (like climate-change deniers) to understand. Both are critical, but the water issue is easier to explain because it mostly involves simple arithmetic as opposed to the more abstract concepts associated with atmospheric science. (Please note that surface runoff should be understood for what it is in most cases: pollution.)
