Every country is warming.
Every country is experiencing more extreme weather events because of climate change, mainly caused by burning fossil fuels. www.ShowYourStripes.info

The CSU system has some landmark field stations that transform urban and first-gen college students into scientists who do irreplaceable research in the environmental sciences and to address climate change.
The wealthy community surrounding Tiburon should be to step up and save this gem.

Perhaps now more than ever, cultivate curiosity in your students and reassure them that there are paths toward becoming a scientist in the future. Education and training remain a huge part of the NSF mission. (15)
