Stopping methane pollution is vital to climate progress

On the drive north around Flathead Lake, you can see the destruction of the Boulder 2700 fire: 31 “structures,” including 14 homes, some right on the lake, lie in cinders.

But you step on the gas as soon as you get to the other side of the charred 2,230 acres. You have places to go, people to see, business to take care of.

We Montanans turn our heads from scientific reports, too. Take the sixth assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, released last month, which says 1.) these high-intensity fires are a sign that climate change is here and 2.) it’s going to get a lot worse.

In The Changing Times’s Summer 2021 issue, the editors wanted to feature the voices and perspectives of artists, photographers, poets, and narrtive writers. Issue 6 was built out of connection to the earth during climate crisis and what it means to have a creative relationship with this planet we call home.

From a Journal - June

By Callie Stephenson

I am afflicted by a certain nostalgia. It’s a hot muggy night, barefeet in damp grass, and the smell of skin slicked with sweat. It is summer. Denim shorts and pine needles mixed with sweet, heavy lake water. It is Americana: all fireworks and sunscreen grease. The voices of people around me saying how absurd I am to revel in the heat of the evenings, and the comfort I find in the deafening accumulation of a dozen fans whirring at different pitches. It is my contempt for air conditioning coupled with full body resignation every time I enter a building that has been pumped full of that delicious, refrigerated air.
