Think Out Loud

Oregon's current climate plans don't take into account how the state's forests could help the state reach its goals. The Oregon Global Warming Commission wants to change that. We'll talk with Vice Chair Catherine Macdonald about how to manage Oregon’s public lands to absorb more carbon. The world’s oceans are warming at twice the rate they were two decades ago. And their ability to absorb excess carbon dioxide is increasingly limited. That’s according to a new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. But the oceans also offer us a lot of opportunities to reduce carbon emissions, says OSU professor Jane Lubchenco. Lubchenco is in New York this week presiding over meetings as part of international Climate Week.
