*The Sky’s Limit: Why the Paris Climate Goals Require a Managed Decline 
of Fossil Fuel Production 
<http://priceofoil.org/2016/09/22/the-skys-limit-report/>*

    A new study released by Oil Change International, in partnership
    with 14 organizations from around the world, scientifically grounds
    the growing movement to keep carbon in the ground by revealing the
    need to stop all new fossil fuel infrastructure and industry
    expansion. It focuses on the potential carbon emissions from
    developed reserves – where the wells are already drilled, the pits
    dug, and the pipelines, processing facilities, railways, and export
    terminals constructed. Download the report

    The potential carbon emissions from the oil, gas, and coal in the
    world’s currently operating fields and mines would take us beyond
    2°C of warming.

    Eric Holthaus reports on how conservative strategists are using the
    Republican Party's reaction to Donald Trump to improve its messaging
    on climate change.

*Recalculating the Climate Math - by Bill McKibben 
<https://newrepublic.com/article/136987/recalculating-climate-math>*

    The numbers on global warming are even scarier than we thought.....
    if our goal is to keep the Earth’s temperature from rising more than
    two degrees Celsius—the upper limit identified by the nations of the
    world—how much more new digging and drilling can we do?...Here’s the
    answer: zero....Scientists say that to have even a two-thirds chance
    of staying below a global increase of two degrees Celsius, we can
    release 800 gigatons more CO2 into the atmosphere. But the Rystad
    data shows coal mines and oil and gas wells currently in operation
    worldwide contain 942 gigatons worth of CO2.

    375 top scientists warn of 'real, serious, immediate' climate threat
    <http://www.skepticalscience.com/375-nas-warn-climate-threat.html>

    Yesterday, 375 of the world’s top scientists, including 30 Nobel
    Prize winners, published an open letter regarding climate change
    <http://responsiblescientists.org/>. In the letter, the scientists
    report that the evidence is clear: humans are causing climate
    change. We are now observing climate change and its affect across
    the globe. The seas are rising, the oceans are warming, the lower
    atmosphere is warming, the land is warming, ice is melting, rainfall
    patterns are changing and the ocean is becoming more acidic.
    *An Open Letter Regarding Climate Change From*

    Members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences - September 20,
    2016* <http://www.skepticalscience.com/375-nas-warn-climate-threat.html>
    **
    <http://www.skepticalscience.com/375-nas-warn-climate-threat.html>The
    United States can and must be a major player in developing
    innovative solutions to the problem of reducing emissions of
    greenhouse gases. Nations that find innovative ways of decarbonizing
    energy systems and sequestering CO2 will be the economic leaders of
    the 21st century. Walking away from Paris makes it less likely that
    the U.S. will have a global leadership role, politically,
    economically, or morally. We cannot afford to cross that tipping point.

(video) *Climate Documentary: The Cross of the Moment* 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UuSxiCJ0co>

    The Cross of the Moment attempts to connect the dots between Fermi’s
    Paradox, climate change, capitalism, and collapse. Interviews with
    top scientists and public intellectuals are woven together into a
    narrative that is challenging, exhausting, and often depressing as
    it refuses to accept the easy answers posited by other
    overly-simplistic climate change documentaries.
