/February 26, 2017    Global Warming destabilizes the Climate/
*
* Correction * -  Stark warning on Atlantic cooling 
<http://climatenewsnetwork.net/stark-warning-atlantic-ocean-cooling/>*

    The introduction to the report we published on 24 February, "Stark
    warning on Atlantic cooling", suggested that climatologists were
    saying there was an almost 50% chance that the Labrador Sea in the
    North Atlantic Ocean would cool rapidly within the next decade. They
    were not in fact suggesting that the warming would happen anything
    like as quickly as that.      We have republished the report with a
    new introduction to clarify this. It now reads:
    *"Climatologists say there is an almost 50% chance the Labrador Sea
    in the North Atlantic Ocean will cool rapidly _within a single
    decade_ by 2100."*

    Is*Climate Change*to Blame for February's Record-Breaking Heat?
    <http://www.ecowatch.com/record-temperatures-february-2282592085.html>

EcoWatch 	 -‎14 hours ago‎ 	

    Meteorologists saw dozens of heat records broken this week, as an
    extended stretch of uncommonly warm weather continues across much of
    the U.S...
    Also this week, Scott Pruitt took the helm at the U.S. Environmental
    Protection Agency (EPA). Pruitt, who has deep ties to the fossil
    fuel industry, has described climate science as a "religious belief"
    and said he expects to scrap the Clean Power Plan ..
    Scientists have found that carbon pollution is warming the planet,
    producing more severe weather, including more extreme heat.
    February's spate of record-high temperatures offers the most recent
    example of how this process plays out.
    In Pruitt's home state of Oklahoma, temperatures hit a record 99ºF
    earlier this month, more than 40 degrees above the average February
    high. Texas, Kansas and Colorado also recorded all-time highs. Over
    the long weekend, Chicago endured four consecutive days of record
    heat, which coincided with record-setting temperatures in Madison,
    Milwaukee and other Midwestern cities...
    "Mr. Pruitt is a clear and present danger to our economic prosperity
    and the health of our children," California Senate leader Kevin de
    Léon (D) said in a statement. "California will not follow Trump's
    destructive path. We've proven that you can protect the environment
    and grow jobs."

*EPA - Understanding the Link Between Climate Change and Extreme Weather 
<https://www.epa.gov/climate-change-science/understanding-link-between-climate-change-and-extreme-weather>*

    Scientists study many aspects of change in extreme weather and
    climate events. These include:
    -- Frequency: Are events occurring more often than they did in the past?
    -- Intensity: Are events getting more severe, with the potential for
    more damaging effects?
    -- Duration: Are events lasting longer than "the norm"?
    -- Timing: Are events occurring earlier or later in the season or
    the year than they used to?
    Extreme weather is typically rare. But climate change is increasing
    the odds of more extreme weather events taking place.

The earth revolves around the sun. That was the simple proposition that 
resulted in 17th century Italian scientist and astronomer Galileo 
falling foul of Catholic authorities, who banned his works and placed 
him under permanent house arrest.

    Question time---Carbon Brief interviews the UNFCCC's executive
    secretary at an event in London.
    Will Donald Trump follow through with his campaign pledge to pull
    the US out of the Paris Agreement on climate change? No one is
    waiting for the answer to that question more than Patricia Espinosa.
    The UNFCCC's executive secretary was in London this week and found
    time to answer a few of our questions. No prizes for guessing that
    we asked her what influence Trump might have on the international
    climate negotiations. This morning, we published her answer, as well
    as others on Brexit, "loss and damage" and the 1.5C climate goal.
    Regarding the UK's own climate policies, she said it had "very clear
    legislation" and its ratification of the Paris Agreement "is really
    very good news".

*This Day in Climate History  February  26, 2001 
<http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/hotpolitics/> -  from D.R. Tucker*

    In a tense exchange with CNN "Crossfire" co-host Robert Novak, EPA
    Administrator Christine Todd Whitman states that President George W.
    Bush will follow through on his September 2000 campaign pledge to
    set firm limits on carbon emissions--a statement that Bush himself
    would effectively disavow a month later. Footage of the CNN exchange
    is included in the 2007 PBS "Frontline" documentary "Hot Politics."
