EUGENE, Ore. - Avery McRae has been passionate about the environment for 
half a lifetime, and she's been worried about*climate change*since 
kindergarten. Now, at 11, she is really getting serious. She recently 
signed on to sue President Trump and the .

    "Friday 21st April 2017 was the first 24-hour period since the 1880s
    where Great Britain went without coal-fired power stations," the
    National Grid control room said in a Twitter post confirming the
    achievement announced earlier.
    The country is getting half of its electricity from gas power
    plants, 30 percent from renewables and interconnectors and the
    remainder from nuclear plants, according to Duncan Burt, head of

<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-04-21/short-lived-arlene-doesn-t-tell-much-about-atlantic-storm-season>*

    In a year of weather oddities, the Atlantic has produced one of its
    own: the short-lived Tropical Storm Arlene.
    With top winds of 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour, Arlene became
    only the sixth tropical system to emerge in the Atlantic in April
    since geostationary satellites began watching the basin starting in
    the mid 1960s.
    "It's a long time from April to peak season - long enough for lots
    of things to change - so you can't use an April storm as any
    reliable harbinger for what to expect later in the year,"

*On April 29, We March for the Future 
<https://www.thenation.com/article/on-april-29-we-march-for-the-future/>*

    We'll either save or doom the planet during the Trump
    administration. Don't sit the Peoples Climate Mobilization out.
    By Bill McKibben
       Here's the truth about these protests: People started planning
    them more than a year ago,
    And yet we still knew we would need to march. Because global warming
    isn't really Trump's fault. Yes, he's a uniquely disgusting person,
    and yes, he was elected at the worst possible moment, just as
    humanity was starting to build a tiny bit of momentum in the fight
    against climate change. And yes, he's mounting an all-out defense of
    the archaic fossil-fuel industry. There's no question he's the enemy
    right now....
    Pruitt, of course, is wrong, since his entire job is to represent
    the industry that has spent a quarter-century lying through its
    teeth about climate change. But he's aggressively wrong—he hadn't
    even started his new job before the transition team was leaking news
    that the administration was ready to defund the satellites we use to
    keep track of the climate. Think about that for a moment. We're not
    just going to ignore the mounting evidence; we're going to stop
    collecting it....
    Which helps explain, I think, the mounting anger of the scientific
    community...
    There will be teach-ins across the country—I've just finished
    helping film a video to use at those gatherings (available for free
    download), and it was a good reminder that even many progressives
    don't know the scientific depth and breadth of our understanding. As
    James Hansen explains in the video, at least since the great Swedish
    chemist Svante Arrhenius in the waning days of the 19th century,
    we've understood what was coming...
    None of this is too hard to understand. It's satellite science, not
    rocket science. At least until Trump powers down the feed, we can
    watch in real time as our emissions wreck our home...
    This Peoples Climate Mobilization (#ClimateMarch) will be the big
    one, the sequel to the massive protest that filled the streets of
    New York in September of 2014. Expect—well, expect lots of people
    determined to show that they're fed up with Trump's nonsense and
    aware that there's another future available. We'll be marching from
    the Capitol, up Pennsylvania Avenue, and we'll completely surround
    the White House—a kind of citizens' arrest of the nincompoop inside.
    There will be a moment of silence and then tremendous noise, loud
    enough to shake the occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to their
    senses if they had them. We'll end with a closing event at the
    Washington Monument, where people will be able to gather in "circles
    of resistance" and talk about the road ahead.

An Ethical Dilemma
*Donald Trump's presidency has some in the mental health community 
re-evaluating their role. 
<https://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2017-04-21/mental-health-professionals-debate-ethics-in-the-age-of-trump>*

    The problem with Trump, ... is that he displays signs of "malignant
    narcissim" – a personality disorder that includes anti-social
    behavior, paranoia and a tendency to live in one's own,
    self-aggrandizing reality. And it's not curable,
    "The abnormal is being normalized. That's how dictatorships work.
    They take over the definition of reality," says Gartner, who began
    the "Duty to Warn" movement to oust Trump...
    Central to the mental health professionals' conundrum is the
    so-called Goldwater Rule, an ethics code the American Psychiatric
    Association adopted in 1973 after a magazine was successfully sued
    for libel for a story featuring psychiatrists discussing 1964 GOP
    presidential nominee Barry Goldwater's mental fitness. The rule,
    which the APA vehemently reaffirmed last month, says psychiatrists
    should not be diagnosing patients they have not examined, and
    further should not release such diagnoses without the consent of the
    patient.

    *At Yale, a meeting of anti-Trump mental health professionals

      A group of mental health professionals that believe President
    Donald Trump is mentally unfit to be president is convening at Yale
    despite criticism from both Trump supporters and professionals
    working in their field.
    The Connecticut Post reports that the group, Duty to Warn, is
    holding its first conference Thursday at Yale University. The group
    has drawn considerable criticism from the psychiatric establishment
    for its violation of the American Psychiatric Association's
    ''Goldwater rule,'' which states psychiatrists are not to give
    professional opinions on people they have not personally examined.
