Here is the link to the entire article "Carbon Capture" by Franzen. I havent read it thru yet, but it is about much more than the stadium and Audubon. The subtitle is "Has climate change made it harder for people to care about conservation?" He is a birder and conservationist. I think his novel "Freedom" featured a Cerulean Warbler on the cover and the species was featured in the plot. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/04/06/carbon-capture
GAndersson St Paul -----Original Message----- From: Minnesota Birds [mailto:MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Jim Williams Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2015 2:35 PM To: MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [mou-net] Jonathan Franzen's article in current New Yorker magazine Perhaps you have read author Jonathan Franzen's take on bird conservation, the beginning of which hinges on the Vikings stadium now under construction. He writes in the April 6 issue of The New Yorker. (The article Is available on-line.) Franzen takes a stick to the National Audubon Society, as well as a poke at me. Response to this from Audubon Vice President Mark Jannot, linked below, clearly and without mercy offer Audubon's reaction. Jannot gives me a helping hand as well, since I am prominent in the beginning of the Franzen piece. That consideration is much appreciated. Jannot posted his comments on the National Audubon web site. https://www.audubon.org/news/friends-these Jim Williams Wayzata, Minn birding blog at www.startribune.com/lifestyle/homegarden/blogs/Wingnut.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
