What Dr. Frehlich is describing is what has been occurring for some time in our region and continues to accelerate. \u00a0The Climate Change deniers may want to use a different phrase, one that describes what they have seen and what they can not deny and that would be Increasingly Frequent and Catastrophic Weather Events<\/strong>, \u00a0One has to look no further than the 10-11″ in one day rain fall in Duluth last summer, when Ely received 4-5 inches in that same time period.<\/p>\n

Dr. Frehlich explains, from his research, some of the significant factors changing the face of the BWCAW and Northeastern Minnesota ecosystems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
