The Snow Guardian

[Mesquite]

Interesting short video that folks might enjoy

For forty years, Billy Barr has lived alone in a small cabin the snowiest part of the United States – Gunnison, CO.

With no goals of proving anything, or even knowledge that the climate was changing, Billy started collecting data on snow to pass the time in his isolated part of the world. When climate researchers discovered Billy’s forty years of detailed records, they uncovered clear and compelling evidence of climate change.

As someone who has had to learn to survive in such a harsh environment, Billy shares some advice about how to move forward on our changing planet
