  No More Joshua Trees? Climate Change in the Desert

  Aug 13, 20261h 4m

  The Joshua tree is an icon and ecological keystone of the California deserts. However, climate disruption with hotter, drier summers and more frequent brush fires, threatens that some day soon Joshua Tree National Park will no longer have any Joshua trees. This interview was originally recorded in 2021, and the changing, heating, sweltering climate, with anomalous rainfall, parched, soaked, flooded, massive storms/no storms keeps expanding/lacerating us, burning homes and landscapes, inundating neighborhoods, drying out our reservoirs. We do have, however, some solutions available to us to preserve important ecosystems, like our deserts. We discuss these systems and investigate what solutions for the Mojave Desert are needed. Are solar farms in the desert an appropriate renewable energy solution, or do they cause more harm than good? What about the consequences of lithium mining in Death Valley for electric vehicles? Did you know it is not a wise idea to grow your own Joshua Tree from imported seeds? Our guest, James Cornett [https://www.amazon.com/stores/James-W.-Cornett/author/B001K84BWE?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true], is an ecologist, author, and principal biologist at JWC Ecological Consultants. He is one of the West's most prolific writers with more than forty-four books published. As former Director of Natural Sciences at the Palm Springs Desert Museum, he continues to share his love of natural history through writing, teaching, and lecturing. He is the first professional naturalist to have visited all nine of the world's great deserts and is writing a book on his travels and research in each. James Cornett is the former Director of Natural Sciences at the Palm Springs Desert Museum. He holds B.A. and M.S. degrees in biology and is the author of over three dozen books on aspects of desert environments including his most recent on the Joshua tree. Dozens of his scientific papers have focused on iconic desert plants including the desert fan palm, ocotillo, and Joshua tree. Several of his studies have examined impacts of climate change on plant populations. Jessica Aldridge, Co-Host and Producer of EcoJustice Radio, is an environmental educator, community organizer, and 16-year recycling industry and Zero Waste leader. She is a co-founder of SoCal 350, organizer for ReusableLA, and founded Adventures in Waste.
