If follows two cases of accidental introductions Tom MajorAll animals live in or seek a set of climate conditions they find tolerable. This “climate envelope” partially determines where animals are found, but the continued existence of many species now rests on the outcome of human-driven climate change.

Environmental RadicalHey folks! “O’er the river and through the woods, to Grandmother’s house we go!” Did I get you into the holiday spirit? I had to try, and that’s the only Thanksgiving tune I know. I’m writing this during the holiday season and I’m sure happy. I got hit in the head by a boomerang the day before Thanksgiving as a small lad. Ain’t been right since. That explains a lot of things. You guys don’t know I have a daughter. In fact, I have grandkids. Call this column a Christmas gift to them.

Mike Dunn with a can of Alte. photo/Tom MajorHigh on HempSo this month I’m putting my beer/beverage writer hat back on and calling for more state regulation of products people drink to feel buzzed. This might not seem like a radical position to you, but damn, I can’t believe I just wrote that. Congress’ 2018 Farm Bill (a.k.a. The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018) made it legal to grow hemp. Hemp and marijuana are two names for the same plant: cannabis.
