Welcome to Megan’s Climate Corner!

Greetings! This is a digital version of a bi-monthly science column I write for the Trinity Journal in northern California. Current events in Trinity County often appear in my writing as I apply the science of global warming to a regional setting with real, lived climate consequences. These explanations, resources, and links are applicable to many other settings and circumstances, however, and I encourage you to dive deeper into the wonders of the natural sciences. Nature is complex and fascinating, vast and mysterious. I hope we can all find a spark of curiosity to learn about our miraculous planet and how we can become better stewards of Earth. Please join in on the joy (and yes, sometimes sorrow) and fulfillment of learning about a prescient, era-defining, future-deciding issue. And if you feel like it, tell a friend.

Do you have a question about climate? Please submit it to tjclimatecorner@gmail.com and I will do my best to articulate the most complete, accurate answer possible.
