[SustainableTompkins] Sylvester Johnson climate change talk

[Brian Aldrich]

I have heard Sylvester's talk and it is OUTSTANDING. Science very well 
documented. Especially good for folks who are skeptical or have questions. 
Sylvester is willing to travel to any county in New York to give this 
presentation at his own expense. I encourage anyone who is putting a 
climate program together to take Sylvester up on his offer. He may be 
reached via his website www "dot" climatehealth "dot" net. Or e-mail or 
call me at 315-255-1183 bsa9 at cornell.edu
