Aug. 2 Climate Whiplash: What Happens After Global Warming?
- PowerPoint presentation at 7:30pm at the Old Forge Library
by Curt Stager, paleoecologist, educator, and science
journalist whose research for the last three decades has
dealt with the climatic history of the Adirondacks, Peru,
and Africa. Most debate over global warming looks only
as far ahead as 2100 AD, but what happens after that?
As Curt Stager, author of "Deep Future: The Next
100,000 Years of Life on Earth," argues, our fossil
fuel emissions will interfere with climates for much longer
than most of us, scientists included, yet realize. Even
in the best-case scenario, the world won't fully recover
for tens of thousands of years, and possibly much longer.
What will life in that shockingly deep future be like?
Some will win and some will lose. On the bright side,
we've already prevented the next nation-crushing ice age.
But as the Earth finally starts to cool down again, "climate
whiplash" will force people, animals, and plants
to reverse their adaptive strategies. Losers may then
become winners - but exactly how the future plays out
is ultimately up to us as we search for a sane, sustainable
path forward in this new geologic epoch, the "Age
of Humans". Phone 315-369-6008 for additional information.

Free Injury Prevention Screening for Dancers! Sunday,
September 25, 2011 Would you like to stay injury free
and dance through nutcracker season? Want to prevent injuries
that could dampen your dance dreams? As part of its Dancer
Advantage Program, Reform. A True Pilates Studio is teaming
up with Saratoga Hospital’s Performing Artists Rehabilitation
Program to offer free 15-minute assessments that will
evaluate any muscle imbalances that could lead to dance
related injuries, and suggest exercises to strengthen
a dancer’s core. Having performed in the Capital District
for over 20-years, and also currently teaching in the
Dance Department at Skidmore College, both Meghan Del
Prete (Level 5 Certified Romana’s Pilates Instructor and
owner of Reform Pilates) and Sarah DiPasquale (PT and
DPT of the Performing Artists Rehabilitation Program)
are passionate about the promotion of injury prevention
within the dance community, because a minor injury or
misdiagnosis could end a dancer's dreams of dancing, whether
or not it it is their chosen career. For more information
