Lauren Wylie joins IAE 2008
17th February, 2008Lauren’s initial thoughts on climate change…
I can’t help but notice that in the past few years the scale and frequency of tragedy caused by acts of nature has increased dramatically. The tsunami in Indonesia, hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the cyclone in Bangladesh and the unusual winter tornado outbreaks in the southern us…just to name a recent few. Here in New York, I see less snow than I am supposed to, and the hottest summer days seem oppressive. In California, where I lived nearly my whole life until 2005, the storms I hear about seem unusually frequent and intense.

..LAUREN WYLIE: .to let you know, I sent your info to many friends and they are now responding of how pleased they will be to follow your adventure….and I trust you are well and HAVE lots of excitement to last out your trip…love tom
