What is one claim or observation that Kolber makes in "Butterfly Lessons"? Locate a quote to frame you response.
Kolber makes a claim that humanity has known that climate change is a constantly shifting element, and has known so since the time that humans first began to record climatological statistics. I believe this claim to be true, and that those who disregard that any climate change is going on choose to be blind to the truth (denial, two posts down, whole article on it). The evidence is provided through a quote by Chris Thomas (the entomologist/biologist in the article), who states, "Every single one [butterfly species] has moved northward since 1982". This provides physical evidence that such a change is taking place, now especially, and provides the basis that the climate has been changing constantly (but not to the degree it is now).
How might you relate "Butterfly Lessons" to your project on place and environment?
It can be related because humanity is dramatically affecting the degree to which the climate is changing. Take my project focus for example, the Hudson River, which has been polluted for decades. Though this is a local effect on pollution, it shows the degree to which human processes affect. Fish are either evolving or dying off, and those that are evolving are doing so by becoming toxic resistant.
