Climate Change and the I.P.C.C. -
An Interview with Carolina Mountain Club President Lenny Bernstein
Here in the southeast, the membership of the many different trail clubs contains a fascinating cross section of our society. You can participate in a hike with a club, and find yourself hiking with doctors, lawyers, scientists, carpenters, school teachers, bartenders and on & on. People of all ages, and backgrounds enjoy hiking.
In the past year, I've had the pleasure of interacting with some of the many dedicated volunteers from the Asheville, North Carolina based Carolina Mountain Club (CMC). The President of the CMC, Lenny Bernstein, has been involved with the issue of climate change for nearly two decades. Until 1999, Lenny viewed this issue as an industry insider. Since then, he has been involved with one of the three IPCC committee's dealing with the subject of climate change.
On the evening of April 17, Lenny joined me for a 27 minute 34 second phone interview about his work with the IPCC on climate change. To listen to this interview, please turn on your computer speakers and click on this link. (12.7 MB). I hope that you find this interview interesting.
At the upcoming Great Southeastern Hiking Festival, we'll have an educational session on the topic of Climate Change. I hope you'll consider joining us for this great event May 3-6, 2007 at the Montreat Conference Center, which is just east of Asheville, North Carolina. We hope to continue this conversation on climate change at the event, in between hikes and some excellent entertainment.
