ICLR Forecast: 2019 Wildfire Season (May 17, 2019)glennmcgillivray
On May 17, 2019, ICLR provided a forecast of the 2019 wildfire season led by Richard Carr from the Canadian Forest Service. The interactive webinar summarized the current conditions in Canada and provided a forecast for the 2019 wildfire season.
Richard Carr provides fire weather processing for the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System (CWFIS) and international projects. He also provides fire weather briefings to the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) fire group, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC), and to federal emergency response personnel, and helps provide seasonal forecasting of fire risk. Richard helps provide information to the North American Seasonal Fire Assessment Outlook, and the North American Drought Monitor via AAFC’s Canadian Drought Monitor. Richard represents NRCan-CFS in the CIFFC Forest and Fire Meteorology Working Group.
Every month University of Alabama climatologists John Christy and Roy Spencer report the latest global temperature trends from satellite data. Above are the newest data updated through July, 2009.

Ellen Mecray, NOAA's Regional Director of the Eastern Region, gave a presentation on Climate Change at the Middlesex Conservation District's Fiscal Year 2023 Annual Meeting on December 4, 2023.
The objective of this Post Storm Survey (PSS) is to gain insight into decision-making related to hazardous winter weather, as well as providing a critical tool in bridging the gap between the weather community and users. This information will be vital for the weather forecasting community to improve communicating the threat of hazardous winter weather.

Southeastern Forest Productivity and Sustainability in a Changing World
WHAT WE KNOW
Atmospheric CO2 is rising due to human activity
Average temperatures are rising, mostly due to the effects of atmospheric CO2
Warmer and more frequent hot days and nights are virtually certain
Warm spells and heat waves are very likely to increase
Altered precipitation regimes are likely, but effects will vary across the globe (and across regions) and are more difficult to predict and may include
Likely increased intensity of rainfall events
Increased/decreased rainfall depending on location
Increased tropical cyclone activity likely
Optimizing Marine Protected Area Networks: The effects of climate change on l...Rémi Daigle
A changing climate will make the conservation of marine biodiversity increasingly difficult as policies designed for current climatic conditions may not reflect those in the future. Larval dispersal and movements among populations is a crucial factor in planning networks of Marine Protected Areas (MPA) as it greatly affects population persistence and recovery. I will present some of my work quantifying larval behavior in the laboratory, to using a biophysical larval dispersal model (ROMS/LTRANS, etc) to identify patterns of larval connectivity in the present and future climate scenarios. Identifying mechanisms that drive larval dispersal and connectivity, quantifying their sensitivity to climate change, and incorporating this into planning strategies are key to developing networks of MPAs which have sound design principles that consider population connectivity and are more robust to the effects of climate change.
Weather and climate have both short-term and long-term impacts on livestock development and management. This talk will focus on longer-term trends in climate and drought over time across the United States and the impacts of changes in these factors on animal agriculture. We will start by examining the trends in temperature and precipitation that have occurred over different regions of the US over the past century and how they have varied from one area to another. Then we will look at how future climate is predicted and problems in making useful predictions. We will follow that by looking at some of the most reliable predictions of future climate and discuss the potential impacts on livestock health, forage and feed supply, and farm management practices and the importance of resilience in farm practices. We will conclude by identifying both the challenges and the opportunities for future livestock producers in a changing climate.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
