The Arctic Region: Tracking Temperature Data, Graphin<\/strong>g Changes, Prior to and After Mega Reservoir Dam Installations<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the persistance of Stephen Kasprzak, our long time senior researcher, and his assistant Roger Wheeler, we\u2019ve amped up the research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now with the expertise and assistance of our newest team member PhD professor of mathematics, Lee Jones our graph plottings are pointing to some significant truths about the hydroeectric power stations in the Arctic regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Message<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Megadams pose a serious threat to our climate by creating ocean temperature increases, reducing the influx of essential nutrients to oceans, emitting greenhouse gases like C02, water vapor and methane, and cause drastic environmental and cultural impacts upon indigenous communities. \u201cGREEN\u201d mega-dams are a MYTH, and \u201cRenewable\u201d hydro-power is a blatant distortion of the truth. Hydro-power is not a solution to the climate crisis and should not be considered an essential part of the
Clean Energy Transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our overarching strategy is to to broadcast awareness of the serious climate change effects being created by mega-dams, especially in the arctic and sub-arctic regions of North America. This includes education and advocacy to stop the green-washing of mega-dams, while promoting green energy and climate justice. We intend to be a nexus of interconnection among and within the network of Climate Change, Riverkeeper, and Dam Removal organizations, through our ongoing series of educational webinars and network meetings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Strategy Detail<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

NECAPA<\/strong>: New England \u2013 Canadian Provinces Alliance
NETWORKING<\/strong>: Continue to build working relationships with active environmental groups and movements, including Citizens Climate Lobby, Center for an Ecology-Based Economy, Sierra Club, Fix-The-Grid, Maine Conservation Voters, Canadian conservation groups. Host monthly
networking & strategy meetings.
EDUCATION<\/strong>: Continue to invite and host guest speakers at our monthly online meetings, for discussion and debate about the issues affecting the ecology of rivers and their impact by mega-
dams, as well as the Clean Energy Transition. Publish a quarterly Resources List of online resources and events. Organize and update the expanding database of research articles and published papers on this topic contained in the Zotero Datatbase at the Univ. of Manitoba
EVENTS<\/strong>: Continue to monitor and participate in statewide and regional events, workshops and seminars, such as Maine Climate Council, water resources meetings, ClimateWork Maine, ISO- NE, Fix-The-Grid, Raab Roundtable, Fisherman’s forums, Coastal Resiliency Conferences, and
others.
MEDIA<\/strong>: Increase our media presence and exposure through LTEs (Letters to the Editor), interviews, building relations with local and statewide media contacts, and making presentations to groups about the how mega-dams contribute to climate change.
ACTION & ADVOCACY<\/strong>: participate in and formulate public actions designed to build awareness, change public policy and stimulate the desire for changes to address the increasingly severe effects of climate warming being created by mega-dams. Educate and persuade state, regional
and national authorities for changes and legislation to eliminate hydro-power sources of energy and strengthen truly renewable energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our strategy is composed of the following CAMPAIGNS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Campaign to engage marine and river-ecology research facilities, scientists & scientific organizations for the purpose of further validation of the Kasprzak Hypotheses e.g., Gulf of Maine Research Institue, Bigelow Laboratory, University of Maine, Union of
    Concerned Scientists, University of Massachusetts, etc<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Campaign to change the recognized, legal definitions of \u201crenewable,\u201d \u201cclean energy\u201d and \u201cgreen energy\u201d in legislation across states of New England and Canadian Provinces<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Campaign to educate Sierra Club members, public officials, the media and the general public regarding the climate impacts of mega-dam hydropower<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Campaign to change the international utility contracts between U.S. utilities \/ states and Canadian hydro-power providers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
