We’ve always planned on retiring and spending the rest of our lives right here, but these days we’re worried about what climate change is already doing – and about the far more serious consequences headed our way. We’re already getting used to the fires, smoke and related air hazards here in the L.A.

The research grew out of two coring expeditions sponsored by the Nyanza Project in 2001 and 2004. An estimated 10 million people live near the lake, and they depend upon it for drinking water and for food. As the lake gets warmer, we expect productivity to decline, and we expect that it will affect the [fishing] industry.
