PESC presentation this Friday! | Hwy 95 | Call for Annual dues

This Thursday: Hwy 95 Realignment: Possible Impacts on Palouse Prairie and Native Plants

The Palouse Prairie Foundation and the White Pine Chapter of the Idaho Native Plant Society are organizing a public presentation and discussion of the proposed realignment of highway US95 between Moscow and Thorn Creek Road, and how it might affect native flora and fauna. Feb 7, 7:00 pm, 1912 Center, Fiske Room.

This Friday: ‘Climate of Doubt’ with Tom Bitterwolf

The PBS documentary, ‘Climate of Doubt’ will be shown Friday, February 8. This film explores the movement that undermined public perceptions about climate change, promoting the invalid notion that there was scientific controversy over the subject of climate change. Dr. Tom Bitterwolf, UI professor, will lead discussion after the film. Please join us at 7 pm in the Fiske room of the 1912 Center, Moscow.

Friday Feb 15: “Climate Disruption: Are We Beyond the Worst Case Scenario?”

There seem to be three disconnected conversations going on these days about climate change. One is among the scientists working on the issue, another among business, industry, and many politicians, and a third within policy and think-tank circles. Different sectors of our society seem to be miles apart on this important issue and there’s been no real progress. Have real solutions to the problem now been stalled past the point of no return? Dr. Michael Jennings, a researcher at the University of Idaho, will explore today’s climate situation from the perspective of current primary literature and data in an attempt to connect the dots. Please join us at 7 p.m., Friday February 15 at the 1912 Center, Fiske Room, 412 East 3rd St., Moscow.

Call for annual dues:

Dues are $20 regular member, $10 student and low income and $50 sustaining member. At our January meeting, we agreed that it would be fine for people to say they would like to be members but would prefer to provide service rather than pay dues. I.e., their service is their dues.

You can bring your dues to the next PESC event, or mail them to Ellen Roskovich, treasurer.

Next PESC meeting: Feb. 17
