Antarctica is Melting
I keep saying that which ever side you're on regarding climate change is fine, as long as we have deep dialogue about what we are learning and what we wish to create for the future. It's critical, I believe to have authentic conversation about we what we learn and feel about climate change. Here is a link in the Christian Science Monitor that shows Antarctic melting.

What's Affected by Climate Change?
Climate change is controversial. Scientists are certain the climate is getting warmer due to increase CO2. Many animal species, such as penguins are threatened by the changes. Another article says that one species loss is another's gain, i.e. deer, elk and caribou benefit because they can get away from predators. I wonder what other opportunities will we face from warming? What kind of weather shifts will challenge us? Over 1000 people died in Europe from a cold winter this year. One important step is the willingness to listen to others with a different point of view. How can we be open to shift our feelings and thoughts, through genuine conversation? I'm working on Deep Democracy Institute-Portland Oregon's Open Forum on Climate Change today. What are your questions about climate change?

Doubt is a weapon in the PR industry!
Thanks again to Richard Branson's blog Antarctica log 2 "No lie is forever". He posted Climate Realitiy Project's Doubt video to emphasize that the information about global warming is being treated, in the media, like the truth about the addiction of nicotine. My colleagues at Deep Democracy Institute do an amazing job of addressing the polarization around global issues, such as climate change. Their first Open Forum on Climate Change will take place in Portland, OR on June 2. Stakeholders of different opinions will gather for an interactive process to seek out and hear all the voices around climate change. The beginning questions for this forum are:
