Is New Mexico ready for the 21st Century?

I mentioned in my last post. I was looking for more information that might help me, my neighbors and my community concerning the flooding some land owners are experiencing on the Rio Ojo Claiente. Our Community and the Rio Ojo Caliente and far worse off than I realized.

We have all heard recently that Global Warming is becoming a "HOT TOPIC". No pun intended. Just how hot.

What are the impacts of CLIMATE CHANGE in New Mexico.
What Gov. Richardson has to say. LINK:

Natural Systems

Climate change is likely to have significant impacts on the ecosystems of New Mexico’s forests, grasslands, deserts, lakes and streams. Predicting the specific impacts is difficult because of the complexity of natural systems, with each species responding in its own way to the physical environment and with multiple interactions among species.

As each species responds individually to its changed environment, existing plant or animal communities will likely change as new assemblages of species form. Changes in ecosystem structure and functioning will often be abrupt rather than continuous and gradual.

Aquatic systems are particularly vulnerable to climate change because they will be impacted not only by warmer temperatures but also by changes in the timing and amount of water. Climate change is expected to result in a significant loss of aquatic habitat.

Habitat suitable for coldwater fish (e.g., trout) is expected to shrink, with replacement by warmwater fish species. Extinction rates of many endemic species of the eastern plains is expected to increase. Riparian ecosystems are expected to experience losses and decline, with a reduction in species diversity.

Change in terrestrial ecosystems will include shifts in the timing of seasonal life history events such as breeding of birds, insects or amphibians, and flowering of plants. Geographic ranges are expected to shift to the north and to higher elevations. Some species trapped on isolated mountain ranges could become locally extinct if the mountain is not high enough to provide suitable alternative habitat and the species cannot disperse across intervening deserts to other mountaintops.

Invasions of non-native species are likely, but species diversity may be reduced.
Shrubs such as mesquite and creosotebush are likely to further invade grasslands. Forests are likely to experience more catastrophic wildfires, and more massive dieback due to drought stress and insect outbreaks. Alpine meadows may largely disappear from New Mexico.

This is one paragraph of a 52 page document. Please read the entire 52 pages. It is critical information to you, your families and to our community to New Mexico, and really it is a Global concern.

I mentioned 2010. my next post will discuss 2010 and 2030. What's next? What can be done? What is being done. What we can do.

This BLOG is still about the Community and the Rio Ojo Caliente we just have to look at it harder. We must do this for our children and we must act now.

Somos vecinos, nosotros debemos tomar el cuidado del comunidad

Solar and Hand Water Pumps

With the Simple Pump installed alongside your existing electric well pump, you're ready for any and all emergencies.

Down to 200' for full time use, or from 201' - 300' as Emergency Source because number of strokes/time to pull from depths that exceed 225' by Hand can be more than derirable, but very achievable. The 12 Volt Solar powered motor can produce about 1 gallon/minute at 300'

This vid was edited and produced by Virtial Valdez on Monday, July 28, 1997, 7:13:46 PM. It was produced in my cabin. 200sq.feet. No power except what I provided. No running water, out house, a phone line, 300" to 900" of snow per year, endless summers, 9 cords of fire wood per season,family, friends, wilderness.... I was plugged in to my life and the world long ago...

What's changed in 10 years.... Lots. A Yurt and DSL are a great mix with the wild... Go figure.... and I still want to go camping!

The Real NS"NUMAN"LANIER

I met Steven in Alaska long ago. We started a business "Virtual Valdez" It rocked and so did we. We taught together at the U of Alaska Valdez. Web Building, and Computer Literacy. We played, skied, boarded, shared stories with "Hollywood" and did all kinds of wild sh--. He's the man.. A great friend. Many years have passed sense 1996.. Numan has never let me down. I'm glad someone like Numan has my back.
I'm glad for Numan in my life...

What's Happening in Washington DC. Today.. Ask Numan

Just got a call from "NUMAN" The Boss Balling Hog!. He's in Washington DC. You know our capitol. What's up? He'll tell us when he gets back. Picts too! "We SOME OF THE PROPLE" are protesting looks like. I wonder what. Bush,War,Taxes.....

I bet it could be almost any of these things. Watch the MAINSTREAM MEDIA TONIGHT. Will we see these protests? I doubt it.

Who wants to see Americans Prostesting. Looks bad for Americans guess...

Be a patriot! Like Numan...Like War Vets, like Americans. Stand UP. Can't be there... act locally. Use your voice, money,vote and peaceful resistance to create change. Thanks NUMAN. I love you man..... Peace for Peace
