*Wildfire smoke hurts heart, not just lungs, new study finds 
<https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04/11/wildfire-smoke-hurts-heart-not-just-lungs-new-study-finds/>*
mercurynews.com | Apr. 13
Wildfire smoke is bad for your lungs, but now scientists say it may be 
just as bad for your heart.
As rising global temperatures spark more and more intense fires, a new 
study out of UC San Francisco 
<http://jaha.ahajournals.org/content/7/8/e007492> suggests smoke may 
rise as an even bigger problem for cardiovascular health in California - 
especially among its senior citizens.
"We think about smoking cigarettes as being related to heart disease in 
medical school," said Zachary Wettstein, a graduating medical student at 
UC San Francisco and lead author of the study. "But it’s not a 
connection physicians typically make with air pollution in general."
The research published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart 
Association comes as Californians are coping with some of the deadliest 
and destructive wildfire seasons in state history - and it may change 
how doctors think about wildfire smoke and heart health.
According to the study, people exposed to wildfire smoke are placed at 
higher short-term risk for conditions like heart failure, ischemic heart 
disease and stroke. The denser the smoke, the higher the risk. This 
effect is seen across all adults, but is most dramatic among those age 
65 and older....
- - - - -
"What we think happens is that you breathe in the particles, they start 
an inflammation process in the lungs, and that causes inflammation 
around the body and can trigger a cardiovascular disease event," said 
Joel Kaufman, a physician-epidemiologist at the University of Washington 
who studies how cardiovascular disease is impacted by environmental factors.

*Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Emergency Department Visits 
Associated With Wildfire Smoke Exposure in California in 2015 
<http://jaha.ahajournals.org/content/7/8/e007492>*
Journal of the American Heart Association
*Abstract*

    *Background*
    Wildfire smoke is known to exacerbate respiratory conditions;
    however, evidence for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events has
    been inconsistent, despite biological plausibility.
    *Methods and Results*
    A population‐based epidemiologic analysis was conducted for daily
    cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergency department (ED) visits
    and wildfire smoke exposure in 2015 among adults in 8 California air
    basins. A quasi‐Poisson regression model was used for zip code‐level
    counts of ED visits, adjusting for heat index, day of week,
    seasonality, and population. Satellite‐imaged smoke plumes were
    classified as light, medium, or dense based on model‐estimated
    concentrations of fine particulate matter. Relative risk was
    determined for smoky days for lag days 0 to 4. Rates of ED visits by
    age‐ and sex‐stratified groups were also examined. Rates of
    all‐cause cardiovascular ED visits were elevated across all lags,
    with the greatest increase on dense smoke days and among those aged
     >65 years at lag 0 (relative risk 1.15, 95% confidence interval
    [1.09, 1.22]). All‐cause cerebrovascular visits were associated with
    smoke, especially among those 65 years and older, (1.22 [1.00,
    1.49], dense smoke, lag 1). Respiratory conditions were also
    increased, as anticipated (1.18 [1.08, 1.28], adults >65 years,
    dense smoke, lag 1). No association was found for the control
    condition, acute appendicitis. Elevated risks for individual
    diagnoses included myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease,
    heart failure, dysrhythmia, pulmonary embolism, ischemic stroke, and
    transient ischemic attack.
    *Conclusions*
    Analysis of an extensive wildfire season found smoke exposure to be
    associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ED visits for all
    adults, particularly for those over aged 65 years.

*The Climate and the Cross 
<https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2018/apr/13/the-climate-and-the-cross-us-evangelical-christians-tussle-with-climate-change>*
An internal battle is simmering among US Christians over whether climate 
change is a call to protect the Earth, the work of God to be welcomed, 
or does not exist at all.
Evangelicals have traditionally been the bedrock of conservative 
politics in the US, including on climate change. But a heated debate is 
taking pace across the country, with some Christians protesting in the 
name of protecting the Earth, seeing it as a duty to be done in God's 
name. ​One group has even built a chapel in the way of a pipeline and a 
radical pastor has encouraged his congregation to put themselves in the 
way of the diggers. Meanwhile, a firm supporter of Donald Trump 
criss-crosses the country promoting solar power.
But there is still the traditional resistance - a climate scientist who 
denies the world is warming and a preacher in Florida who sees the fact 
he was flooded as a good sign of divine presence. With stories from 
across the country featuring pastors and churchgoers, and showing 
conflict between generations, races and classes, could it be a 
surprising section of Christian Americans who could provide hope for the 
country's attitude to climate change?

[Another disease from global warming]
*This is why Hoosiers may soon have to worry about diseases such as 
malaria and Zika 
<https://www.indystar.com/story/news/2018/04/06/why-hoosiers-may-soon-have-worry-diseases-such-malaria-and-zika/487389002/>*

Tropical illnesses such as malaria, dengue fever and the Zika virus 
could be commonplace in Indiana by the end of the century. Why? Climate 
change.
Lyme disease and West Nile virus could also become more common, 
according to a new report released in association with the ongoing 
Indiana Climate Change Impact Assessment. The report outlines an Indiana 
that is warmer and wetter, posing a number of public health risks, 
including an increase of mosquitoes, ticks and other illness-spreading 
insects.
"Conditions are already ripe in southern Indiana to host these 
diseases," said Gabriel Filippelli, director of the Center for Urban 
Health at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and lead 
author on the report. "Diseases that we eradicated in the U.S. 100 years 
ago are likely to be raging back in the near future."
That's because climate change will increase temperatures and flooding in 
the state. The declining number of days when the temperature reaches 
below 5 degrees, which have a controlling effect on insect populations, 
will also contribute to the increase.
Marion County has already seen a 500 percent increase in mosquitoes 
since 1981.The increase in the number of extreme rainfall and flooding 
will also bring such risks as toxic algal blooms, gastrointestinal 
illnesses and prevalence of lead and mold inside homes.
- - - - - -
Other effects of climate change the report discusses include increased 
allergens from weeds, poorer air quality, and mental health effects. 
Extreme, climate-related events can cause anxiety and depression, and 
the stress caused by these events could exacerbate hypertension and 
other cardiac conditions.
This assessment is the first time that the impact of climate change on 
Indiana has been so thoroughly examined. Another assessment was 
published by Purdue in 2008, but is outdated and only scratched the 
surface of what impacts climate change is having on the state.
This is the latest of several reports that will make up the Indiana 
Climate Change Impacts Assessment. Thefirst report 
<https://ag.purdue.edu/indianaclimate/indiana-climate-report/>, released 
in March, discussed the baseline changes Hoosiers can expect from global 
warming, including higher temperatures, increased precipitation, and 
longer growing seasons.

Back in 2011, a Cornell University research team first made the 
groundbreaking discovery that leaking methane from the shale gas

coal.https://www.desmogblog.com/2018/04/11/climate-change-two-degree-warming-fracking-natural-gas-rush-ingraffea

    The climate is changing faster and more dramatically than it might
    have otherwise, and - far from serving as a bridge fuel -
    fracking huge amounts of natural gas has already played a
    significant role in pushing the world toward a vastly more difficult
    future.

*Ticks rising 
<https://aeon.co/essays/how-lyme-disease-became-the-first-epidemic-of-climate-change>*
In a warming world, ticks thrive in more places than ever before, making 
Lyme disease the first epidemic of climate change...
Calves not even a year old harboured up to 60,000 blood-sucking 
arthropods known as winter ticks. In Vermont, dead moose were turning up 
with 100,000 ticks - each. In New Hampshire, the moose population had 
dropped from 7,500 to 4,500 from the 1990s to 2014, the emaciated bodies 
of cows, bulls and calves bearing similar infestations of ticks. These 
magnificent animals were literally being bled to death...
  In Minnesota, the number of moose dropped by 58 per cent in the decade 
through to 2015, similar to losses in New England. Environmentalists 
believe moose could well be eradicated in the Midwest by 2020, with 
stocks declining precipitously in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan...
- - - - - -
Moose like and need the cold. They become sluggish when it’s warm, 
failing to forage as they should, and becoming weak and vulnerable. In 
the warmer, shorter winters of the US Midwest and Northeast, bumper 
crops of winter ticks are surviving to wake up when the trees burst to 
life in earlier springs; they have more time in longer falls to cling in 
veritable swarms on the edges of high bushes, their legs outstretched, 
waiting for a ranging, unsuspecting, and wholly unprepared moose. When 
the moose lie in the snow, they leave carpets of blood from engorged 
ticks. When a baby moose emerges from the womb in Minnesota, a band of 
thirsty ticks moves from mother to neonate. The moose shed those fat, 
flush ticks onto fall and winter ground, and the ticks snuggle into the 
leaf litter rather than freeze in the snow, as they once might have, 
reducing tick mortality but upping that of the moose.
Samuel is a careful scientist who does not jump to conclusions, and he 
sees many forces working together to kill off moose in the finely tuned 
orchestra that is the outdoors. Wolves, liver fluke, brain worms, 
unmanaged hunting, habitat loss - they are all part of the picture. 
Because of how it affects and is affected by those other factors, 
‘Climate change,’ he told me, ‘might be the major one.’
‘It’s the ticks.’

Auerbach, an active woman in her 70s, was bitten in her 40s by a small 
tick that thrives in the woods, thickets and backyard edges of the 
county in which she lives, in New York State’s Hudson Valley. She lost 
10 years of her life to that tick, had to retire as a highly rated 
programmer at the nearby IBM plant, and still suffers the aftermath of a 
case of Lyme disease that was caught too late. ‘It brought me to my 
knees,’ said Auerbach, among an all-too significant share of people 
infected with Lyme who suffer long-term symptoms. To her, the rise of 
winter ticks is one more indicator of an environment out of whack, and 
so is the more measured, but nonetheless relentless, surge in 
blacklegged ticks, like the one whose bite haunts her 30 years on.
- - - -
Ticks merge ‘to form a single contiguous focus … a shifting landscape of 
risk for human exposure’
But it is the change over the course of 18 years of maps that is 
telling, depicting the flowering of Lyme in a sort of cartoon flip-book 
style as it spreads across the Northeast and Midwest of the US. North it 
goes up New York’s Hudson River Valley and into the state’s Adirondack 
Mountains, jumping the border to Vermont’s Green and New Hampshire’s 
White Mountains. West and south it moves great guns into Maryland and 
northern Virginia. By 2014, the dots consume much of Pennsylvania and 
darken New York’s Southern Tier to the shores of the Great Lakes and the 
St Lawrence River. The Upper Midwest is liberally peppered. Dots appear 
in many other states, too.
- - - - - -
In Europe, ticks are on a similarly relentless march north. In Sweden, 
researchers studied the range of the castor bean tick from 1994 to 1996 
by dragging cloths in 57 locations and querying residents about bites 
and sightings. They were able to establish a boundary line at about 
60degrees 5′N, above which the ticks could not survive. By 2008, the 
ticks were found to have moved some 300 miles north, mainly along the 
Baltic coast, to about 66degrees N. In Norway, the story was repeated....
- - - -
The questions are these: did a changing climate cause this epidemic? Or 
is climate change merely driving this sickness - with the ticks and 
animals that circulate it - to new places and new peoples? Evidence most 
certainly supports the latter. The former is trickier. But Lyme disease 
is distinctive as the first disease to emerge in North America, Europe 
and China in the age of climate change, the first to become entrenched, 
widespread and consequential to multitudes of people. It is growing, 
too, in places such as Australia, where residents are told, as they were 
in southern Canada and still are in many parts of the US, Canada and 
Europe, that they must have some other illness besides Lyme disease or, 
if not, they contracted the infection somewhere else. ‘We’re an island. 
We have island thinking,’ said Trevor Cheney, a country GP from the 
mid-north coast of New South Wales, who routinely diagnoses Lyme disease 
though doctors are told it doesn’t exist in Australia. ‘As if migratory 
birds’ - which drop ticks far and wide - ‘don’t come there,’ he told me 
at a conference in Paris.

Such poor advice has cost many Lyme patients valuable time to seek 
treatment. It grows from a failure, by public health and medical 
experts, to see the past as the future. Lyme disease is moving to new 
places, as it has for nearly half a century. In the decades since the 
children of Lyme, Connecticut, were infected, little progress has been 
made to control ticks, protect people from bites, test with certainty 
for the Lyme pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi and, especially, adequately 
treat the infected. Ixodes ticks - blacklegged, castor bean or otherwise 
- deserve our respect. They come armed not only with Lyme disease but 
with a growing menu of microbes: bacterial, viral and parasitic, known 
and yet unnamed. Ticks can, and sometimes do, deliver two, three or four 
diseases in one bite. So resourceful are infected ticks that two feeding 
side by side on the same animal can pass pathogens, one to the other, 
and never infect the host. So clever is the Lyme pathogen that infected 
ticks are more efficient at finding prey than uninfected ticks. These 
ticks might not be able to fly or jump or trek more than a couple of 
human steps. But they have changed many lives, cost billions in medical 
care, and coloured a walk in the woods or a child’s romp in the grass, 
our very relationship with nature, with angst.
This is all the more disturbing when we realise, ultimately, that it is 
we who unleashed them.

*The Most Important Climate Treaty You’ve Never Heard Of 
<https://insideclimatenews.org/news/11042018/climate-treaty-gothenburg-protocol-air-pollution-regulations-global-warming-science-black-carbon-lrtap>*
This unsung treaty limits pollutants that increase global warming or 
hurt human health. Its latest update-which adds black carbon-could be 
ratified this year.
BY SABRINA SHANKMAN
Raise a hand if you've heard of the Gothenburg Protocol.
No? Well, you're in good company. This treaty has been called an "unsung 
hero" in the fight against air pollution and climate change. It may be 
unknown in the United States, but it is a landmark international 
agreement, setting limits on how much black carbon and other pollutants 
countries can emit.
Black carbon, or soot, is seen as a unique danger to the climate because 
its ability to accelerate warming in the atmosphere is many times 
stronger than carbon dioxide. It also speeds up the melting of sea ice. 
This double-whammy is responsible for ahalf a degree Celsius 
<https://www.amap.no/documents/doc/summary-for-policy-makers-arctic-climate-issues-2015/1196>of 
warming in the Arctic so far.
"The science had evolved to a certain degree that it was possible for 
countries, governments to get involved," said Svante Bodin, the European 
director of theInternational Cryosphere Climate Initiative 
<http://iccinet.org/>, a network of policy experts and researchers 
working to preserve the ice-covered portions of the Earth. "It had 
become clear that this could have a strong climate impact."
TheGothenburg Protocol 
<http://www.unece.org/environmental-policy/conventions/envlrtapwelcome/guidance-documents-and-other-methodological-materials/gothenburg-protocol.html>, 
established in 1999, sets limits on nasty pollutants like sulfur 
dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and volatile organic compounds, which 
are hazardous to human health. (Some also contribute to global warming). 
The pact was amended in 2012 to include black carbon, as the world 
became more aware of the threat it posed.
As significant as the protocol has been, it remains unfinished. Some 
countries, including the EU and the United States, have taken concrete 
steps to achieve its goals via domestic policy, but the amended version 
has not been ratified by enough countries to enter into force.
As evidence becomes clearer of theimpact of black carbon on the Arctic 
<https://insideclimatenews.org/news/19032018/global-warming-arctic-air-pollution-short-lived-climate-pollutants-methane-black-carbon-hfcs-slcp> 
and global climate change, the agreement faces a test: It still needs 
six countries before it becomes official policy, which may happen this 
year. The United States was an early adopter-just two days before 
President Trump took office.
The protocol is rooted in the 1979Convention on Long-range Transboundary 
Air Pollution 
<http://www.unece.org/environmental-policy/conventions/envlrtapwelcome/the-air-convention-and-its-protocols/the-convention-and-its-achievements.html>, 
known as LRTAP, which was first organized to tackle the problem of acid 
rain. The idea is that air pollution isn't a local problem.What's 
emitted by industries, power plants and vehicles in one country can 
drastically impact another as pollutants are carried across borders...
- - - - -
Exposure to air pollution has been responsible for 1 in 20 deaths in the 
United States, according to recent data in a 2016 report on LRTAP's 
progress by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. In the 
U.S., a 33 percent decrease in exposure to fine particulate matter and 
ozone-which are both covered under LRTAP-could avoid 43,000 premature 
deaths, tens of thousands of non-fatal heart attacks and respiratory and 
cardiovascular hospitalizations, according to the report..

*This Day in Climate History - April 14, 1988 
<http://c-spanvideo.org/program/GoreCampa>   -  from D.R. Tucker*
April 15, 1988: In a speech at St. John's University in New York, 
Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore states (specifically in 
reference to the threat of nuclear weapons, though the statement 
certainly applies to *another* worldwide threat):
"I believe that it is possible that future generations will look back on 
this election year of 1988 and wonder with amazement how we could have 
let these problems go unattended for so long." (22:50--23:01)
