Bloomberg -8 hours ago
For a relatively slow-burning phenomenon, climate change is having a
moment of great consequence this week. A cascade of events—physical,
legal, political, and diplomatic—is underway... With climate
change underway, and a global policy framework in place, presidents
may have increasing power, and responsibility, to fight the
problem,...In 2017, global adherence to the Paris accord, rulings on
the constitutionality of new U.S. pollution rules, and a potentially
remade Congress will await the next resident of 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue. Perhaps the contenders should start talking about it more,
because the clock is ticking.

...what is the most important thing (one) can personally do bring
about climate action? The answer is both simple and hard: *Talk
about climate change and its solutions with everyone you know a lot
more than you are doing now*....The need to have more conversations
about an uncomfortable subject is, I believe, one of two crucial
messaging lessons the climate movement can learn from the LGBT
community. The other is to focus on the immorality of
inaction....Even though "two in three Americans are either
moderately or very interested in global warming," public opinion
research finds that 70 percent of Americans "rarely or never discuss
global warming with family or friends." .. We know this is a
winning*climate*message from the Yale/GMU report on "How Pope
Francis Changed the Conversation About*Global Warming*." It found
"17 percent of Americans and 35 percent of Catholics say his
position on*global warming*influenced their ...

The pattern of sea level change or 'fingerprint' resulting from one
millimeter per year of Greenland ice melt derived from NASA GRACE
measurements...the longest and highest-quality records of historical
ocean water levels may underestimate the amount of global average
sea level rise that occurred during the 20th century. Dr. Philip

(SOEST), led the study...
Ethanol in U.S. Gas Tanks is Backfiring for*Climate Change*

Climate Central -7 hours ago
...for every three gallons of corn ethanol that's being burned under
America's flagship renewable fuel rules, Americans will avoid
burning just one gallon of gasoline made from crude....Their
findings add to evidence that the mandated use of biofuels under the
Renewable Fuel Standard, which was approved by Congress and is
overseen by the EPA, is making the problem of*global warming*worse -
while doing little to ease fuel imports*...About 10 percent of
gasoline sold in the U.S. this year will come from growing corn and
other crops — 15 billion gallons of ethanol overall....Crunching
those numbers led the the researchers to conclude in their paper
that America*'*s fuel standard *"*actually leads to a net
increase*"* in greenhouse gas emissions — by hundreds of millions of
tons from 2006 to 2022.*
