    I’ve been hearing from a Facebook friend, John Walsh, of some ‘specious preparatory (perhaps) efforts on the ground in Mackinaw City of a property owner seemingly preparing for the digging materials of the Tunnel. John has been reporting from on the ground areas of Mackinaw City that have recently been closed off, making travel in that area kinda challenging. He’s been a long time advocate of shutting down Line 5. I’m wondering IF at all possible, to send in a Reporter that might help us ‘clear up’ what’s happening and why when we’re still waiting for decisions…In this scary Administration @ the Fed level, makes this seem somewhat plausible…?!!

    The biggest climate news in Michigan is without a doubt Palisades Nuclear Power Plant’s reopening!


    This is a sign that we can provide cheaper energy to help with poverty.

    We can make Michigan industry competitive again.

    We can stop using fossil fuels entirely, and not stop having transportation or reliable infrastructure.


    Why is there nothing about nuclear energy?


    Are you some anti-science anti-nuke cult member?


    What’s the point in having a mind, if you never change it based on evidence?

    50% of profit from the book goes to the Freshwater Foundation of Mi, a 501c3 non-profit, to protect and preserve the Great Lakes. (https://freshwaterfoundationmi.org) In this case, 50% of sales would go to MCAN.

    Hello! My name is Lenox McConaughey and I am an intern with Midstory, a 501©(3) nonprofit thinkhub dedicated to voicing the stories of the Midwest through multimedia and research. I am reaching out to you today because I am writing a story that looks at specific Midwest regions affected by climate risks (heatwaves, flooding, drought, air quality), specifically during the summer months. Your team’s expertise in environmental studies as well as your experiences as activists would be valuable to this story. I’d be happy to speak with Dr. Denise Keele, or any other member, about the climate risks we’ve been experiencing this year, and how we can stay safe. I look forward to hearing from the Michigan Climate Action Network soon!

    Greetings:


    I am writing about a deep concern I have with contamination in Chippewa County. This letter is a follow-up to the same matter and a contact recently made with NMEAC. Your organization was referenced in their return email detailing recent podcasts on microplastics and other environmental problems. The issue here is the chemical trails, often referred to as climate engineering or geoengineering, left from high altitude aircraft overtop of my residence in the eastern Upper Peninsula and seen as well in neighboring skies. They are not contrails which when formed are narrow and dissipate quickly. The trails widen, are persistent and here have created an almost continuous cloud canopy for much of this winter.


    The first occurrence I noticed was in fall when there were many aircraft leaving the trails, sometimes flying in formation, creating crossing patterns and more. Now seen less frequently since skies are most often overcast , but still are often seen during an occasional clear sky which usually does not last for the day. Stars at night are rarely seen.


    The other anomaly is the physical characteristics of the snow. It is slippery, including during cold temperatures, and has a consistent graininess I think is very unusual; this pattern has continued through the winter.


    I would very much to have the snow tested for contaminants including plastics; have contacted one laboratory but did not get a response, even though I may not have the financial resources to pay for the tests. This is something you may have an interest in pursuing since I believe the contamination of soils, plant life, wildlife and all else is ongoing and a threat to our ecosystem.


    I have contacted representatives and others about this and from Senator John Demoose’s office it was relayed that others in our county notified their office with similar misgivings and concerns. Unfortunately the office staff informed me that they had contacted the state police who had determined that no hazard exists. Unfortunate to say the least.


    If you are unaware of the topic and risks I would encourage you to visit “The Dimming” found on YouTube, a documentary put together by Geoengineeringwatch.org. What goes in my skies transpires in many other locales. Shasta County, California is working now to have all such contamination banned above all parts of the county.


    Warm regards,


    Terry Schaedig

    Can someone from MiCan make a statement or organize a rally to prevent the new Topgolf facility in Canton, or organize a call to government officials, or some form of public outreach? The facility is set to destroy 7.5 acres of imperiled wetlands, and I do not know who else to reach out to, or what else to do! I am currently making a LinkedIn article about it, but I know the network has extensive contacts, and people deserve to know about this project!

    Ani Sturm,, Patrick Moore and his theories have been debunked. Moore is often incorrectly referred to as a founder of Greenpeace. According to a statement by Greenpeace, “Patrick Moore frequently portrays himself as a founder or co-founder of Greenpeace, and many news outlets have repeated this characterization. Although Mr. Moore played a significant role in Greenpeace Canada for several years, he did not found Greenpeace.”


    According to Greenpeace, “what Moore really saw was an opportunity for financial gain. Since then he has gone from defender of the planet to a paid representative of corporate polluters.”

    We are not in a “climate catastrophe.”. If you don’t believe me, listen to Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder and past president of GREENPEACE. Dr. Moore was the only trained scientist in the Greenpeace group when it first formed. Dr. Moore was one of the first trained ecologists anywhere. The underlying agenda of “climate activism” is socialism/communism. Do your homework; don’t be fooled. The atmospheric levels of C02 are the lowest they have been in a very long time, almost to the point where plant life can no longer survive. For those of you who are so concerned about poor people, eliminating fossil fuels will impact the poorest nations in the world.

    Thanks for sending me all this detail about the different organizations working on voting for a better climate atmosphere here in Michigan. Sorry to hear this Central Michigan area doesn’t have a club and I can’t say like the Traverse City area or the upper Peninsula. Hopefully that’ll be coming and I say especially the Gaylord area and which they’re just clearcutting terribly on some of that army land Without planting anything and feels after fields and not what you call select cut at all. If you go to the national Forest, I have seen select cut areas but not in the state force. They’re cutting up the Lewiston area too and that State land. Of course they’re not cutting the whole thing down at once but it’s still not a good idea what’s happening.


    So if anybody gets any good ideas about even those little things to paste on a car window, that would be good to send to me and others because we could give them out at different things. For instance, I belong to the Michigan Mushroom hunting club and I see a lot of people interested in the outdoors in the mid Michigan area up to East and Missaukee County And Isabella County and places around our county now as our Chippewa water is really doing a nice job. In fact, I think I will tell the director and he can at least put it online in the website if I send him some samples and like we could get permission from the state club And they’re really are no clubs bios. I guess if you say Lansing is close that’s only an hours drive that’s the closest. We are south now one and getting over towards Saginaw Midland one county and we’re going north one county but we’re going west a couple counties with more units donated land.


    Good we take photographs of the local signs in this message. You sent me with your permission so we don’t get into trouble. Or I probably could find some artist that would love to do that kind of work for us here in Central Michigan! I’ll have to really start meeting people like that at the Commission On Aging and I bet they do it, you that really loved to do artwork.


    Thanks for all your ideas and I am 100% for this. And I’m also 100% of getting other kind of sprays and chemicals for our huge huge fields of corn, wheat, and soybeans and hay! I’ve been driving around here in several county areas and we have many fields more than 1 mile in size on all sides and no place to drive in between Rose anymore, it’s just all sprayed from Plains above, etc. or even from those big machines that spread water in the field, now the water can be tainted with chemicals. I’m sure.


    Many blessings and thank you for doing this wonderful job and keep it up. I am keeping you in my prayer and I’m going to ask the Sisters of the precious blood who are housed in Dayton, Ohio, and who are my community to do that because I know there are huge counties of farms there like Mercer County, etc. etc. and I have worked in some counties where they cut down the last remains of beautiful trees.


    Many blessings and thanks, Marie
