Climate Change in Olympia

A special edition of "The Olympiun" that focuses solely on Climate Change was on my porch this morning. Created by a group of citizens, its intention is to publish news about climate change that the mainstream media is not reporting and is a take-off of the NY Post edition put out by the Yes Men.
It also announces the local activities planned for Oct. 24th: 350: A Planetary Day of Action.

Presenting real news that is not covered in main stream media, The Olympiun is intended to put climate change on the agenda and encourage people to put pressure on Obama and Congressional leaders to take action on slowing down climate change.

Many of the articles are national but some are very local, including the danger of a rising tide in Olympia which would cover much of the downtown area (see map on backpage) and a story on the impact of climate change on northwest wildlife.
