Gut Check

In "Informed Enthusiasm," (Oct. 20), Peter Blair '12 picks up a gun intended for Dogmatism and aims it at Hope. Maybe I'm just a foolish and overly idealistic young'un, but to me the idea that it's somehow juvenile or ignorant to be markedly "enthused, energized, inspired" by a presidential candidate seems a bit ridiculous.

Crate recounts effects of climate change on Sakha

LAURA DIEZ The Viliui Sakha people of Northeastern Siberia are among many native cultures threatened by climate change and need more information in order to survive, environmental science and policy professor Susan Crate of George Mason University explained during a lecture Wednesday in the Haldeman Center. Crate, who has studied the Viliui Sakha since the 1980s, recently spent the first of three planned summers in the Sakha Republic to study the people's understanding of climate change and to educate them. The Sakha, a semi-nomadic people, rely heavily on agriculture and cattle husbandry for survival in their taiga environment, rendering the community particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, according to Crate. Warmer winters, colder summers, increased precipitation and sudden temperature changes are severely impacting the community, she said. "Cultural change is analogous to other movements such as Native Americans moving to reservations," Crate said.
