For our Michigan readers, here is some information on an event we're hosting in Lansing on Thursday.

Michigan United Conservation Clubs will help host a day-long meeting on Thursday to inform and train sportsmen to campaign against global warming. The controversial issue came to the fore for sportsmen last year when a nationwide survey of licensed hunters and anglers indicated that a majority said they were witnessing the effects of climate change and felt that immediate action was necessary to combat the phenomenon. The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) -- MUCC is its Michigan affiliate -- hopes to build a grass roots-based coalition of at least 50 hunters and/or anglers to spread the word to other sportsmen and work for action on climate change.

We hope to see you there!
