*Gather ye climate data while ye may*
<https://tamino.wordpress.com/2016/12/11/gather-ye-climate-data-while-ye-may/>
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed a host of the worst
imaginable climate deniers to positions of authority in his
administration. He seems determined to put them in control, and they
seem determined to stop all U.S. action to help with the climate
crisis. They may also work actively, not just to deny climate truth,
but to cripple the world's ability even to know what's going on...
That's because for years the U.S. has been the world's leader in
gathering climate data. It's something we could rightly be proud of.
But with climate deniers in control of NASA, of NOAA, and a host of
other agencies, and with them already seeking to make "lists" of the
people who have been doing climate-related science, they seem
hell-bent on a a witch-hunt against those people, and to destroy the
data-gathering supremacy which the U.S. worked so long, so hard, and
so well to
establish....https://tamino.wordpress.com/2016/12/11/gather-ye-climate-data-while-ye-may/

"Climate change eclipses all else in importance and immediacy. We
business leaders want to keep a safe and healthy planet to live and
work in. We don't think this is a major issue for you, and we hope
you'll listen. It can be an early big win for you....
"You've said you have an open mind on climate. Please take off the
table any immediate steps on U.S. or international climate policies.
Put people in charge who are open like you to taking a full look at
the human risks involved and the business upsides for climate action.

*The Golden Arches Theory of Decline -George Monbiot
<http://www.monbiot.com/2016/12/10/the-golden-arches-theory-of-decline/>*
"Corporations, released from democratic constraints, drive us
towards climate breakdown, an urgent threat to global peace.
McDonald's has done more than its fair share: beef production is
among the most powerful causes of climate change....
In his book The Globalisation Paradox, the Harvard economist Dani
Rodrik describes a political trilemma. Democracy, national
sovereignty and hyperglobalisation, he argues, are mutually
incompatible. You cannot have all three at once. McDonalisation
crowds out domestic politics. Incoherent and dangerous as it often
is, the global backlash against mainstream politicians is, at heart,
an attempt to reassert national sovereignty against the forces of
undemocratic globalisation." ..

*This Day in Climate History December 11, 1985
<http://www.nytimes.com/1985/12/11/us/action-is-urged-to-avert-global-climate-shift.html>-
from D.R. Tucker *
December 11, 1985: The New York Times reports:
"A group of senators and scientists today called for national and
international action to avert a predicted warming of the earth's
climate resulting from a buildup of carbon dioxide and other
man-made gases in the atmosphere...
"They warned at a Senate hearing that such an effect, like that of a
greenhouse, would produce radical climate changes and a subsequent
rise in ocean levels that could have catastrophic results in the
next century unless steps were taken now to deal with the problem...
"Senator Albert Gore Jr., Democrat of Tennessee, said he would
introduce legislation to expand and focus scientific efforts on this
greenhouse effect...
"At a hearing of the Senate Subcommittee on Toxic Substances and
Environmental Oversight, Mr. Gore said his bill would call for 'an
international year of scientific study of the greenhouse effect and
would request that the President take steps to begin this worldwide
cooperative investigation.'"..
