Topics include:

*Carbon Neutral by 2050? Can It Be Done?  *As a cold-weather state, 
Minnesota has a high carbon footprint. Electricity and personal vehicle 
miles driven are two of the biggest culprits. In 2007, the Minnesota 
Legislature adopted a goal of 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions 
by 2050. What would it take to achieve that goal?

*Climate Change, an Ojibwe Perspective*.  Cultural traditions of the 
Lake Superior Band of Chippewa are indelibly tied to the seasons. At 
Grand Portage, Fond du Lac, and Bad River the Trust Lands are 
experiencing some effects of climate change. Tribal resource experts are 
collecting data and taking actions to mitigate and adapt.

*Sizzling Content. Cool Links.  *New Web pages dedicated to climate 
change offer local information to area researchers, educators, media 
representatives and the public.
