[Coal Wire Editor's note]

The good news of the week is the growing number of financial
institutions, most notably *Munich Re and Lloyds Banking Group, paring
back their support for the coal industry*. In the US, the Tennessee
Valley Authority has flagged that it does not envisage the need for any
major new plants other than renewables over the next 20 years. The US
Energy Information Administration has revealed that coal consumption has
plummeted by over one-third over the last decade. In Taiwan, the
government is now grudgingly conceding that public opposition to a new
coal plant has to be reckoned with.
The transition is far from smooth, though. The revelation in the latest
CoalSwarm coal plant data that some previously suspended coal plants in
China are now being built despite the existing massive overcapacity is
alarming. Even if the plants eventually run at a reduced capacity, huge
amounts of scarce capital will have been wasted to provide a short-term
economic boost from building them...

Coal controversies keep on rolling along. In South Korea, the major
public utility KEPCO is facing an investigation into whether it, among
other importers, breached United Nations sanctions on coal imports from
North Korea. In the US, a coal company has been revealed to have
secretly been bankrolling opposition to a wind farm in Ohio. In
Indonesia, the global cement company Holcim is facing calls to clean up
a major coal spill in a bay in Aceh province. In the Philippines a
Holcim subsidiary has acknowledged it spilled coal into the ocean from a
cement plant storage area.

*Don't despair - climate change catastrophe can still be averted
<https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/07/climate-change-catastrophe-political-will-grassroots-engagement>*
Simon Lewis
The future looks fiery and dangerous, according to new reports. But
political will and grassroots engagement can change this...
As a research scientist in this field, I can give some nuance to the
headlines. One common way of thinking about climate change is the lower
the future carbon dioxide emissions, the less warming and the less havoc
we will face as this century progresses. This is certainly true, but as
the summer heatwave and the potential hothouse news remind us, the
shifts in climate we will experience will not be smooth, gradual and
linear changes. They may be fast, abrupt, and dangerous surprises may
happen. However, an unstoppable globally enveloping cascade of
catastrophe, while possible, is certainly not a probable outcome...
- - -
Could civilisation weather this level of warming?
The honest answer is nobody knows. Dystopia is easy to envisage: for
example, Europe is not coping well with even modest numbers of migrants,
and future flows look likely to increase substantially as migration
itself is an adaptation to rapid climate change. How will the cooler,
richer parts of the world react to tens of millions of people escaping
the hotter, poorer parts? Throw into the mix long-term stagnating
incomes for most people across the west and climate-induced crop
failures causing massive food price spikes and we have a recipe for
widespread unrest that could overload political institutions...
- - - -
However, taking a step back from the gloom, we face the same three
choices in response to climate change as we did before this scorching
summer: reduce greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation), make changes to
reduce the adverse impacts of the new conditions we create (adaptation),
or suffer the consequences of what we fail to mitigate or adapt to. It
is useful to come back to these three options, and settle on the formula
that serious mitigation and wise adaptation means little suffering.
Despite this basic advice being decades old, we are heading for some
mitigation, very little adaptation, and a lot of suffering. Why is this
happening? This is because while the diagnosis of climate change being a
problem is a scientific issue, the response to it is not. Leaving fossil
fuels in the ground is, for example, a question of regulation, while
investing in renewable energy is a policy choice, and modernising our
housing stock to make it energy efficient is about overcoming the
lobbying power of the building industry. Solving climate change is about
power, money, and political will...
- - - -
Thinking about climate change as a practical political problem helps
avoid despair because we know that huge political changes have happened
in the past and continue to do so. The future is up to us if we act
collectively and engage in politics. To quote Antonio Gramsci: "I'm a
pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will."
Looked at this way, we can see the politics as a battle between a future
shaped by fear versus a future shaped by hope.
That hope is built on a better story of the future and routes to enact
it. The outline of this story is that given the colossal wealth and the
scientific knowledge available today, we can solve many of the world's
pressing problems and all live well. Given that our environmental
impacts are so long-lasting, the future is the politics we make today.

*Wildfire as a major driver of recent permafrost thaw in boreal
peatlands <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05457-1>*
Abstract
Permafrost vulnerability to climate change may be underestimated
unless effects of wildfire are considered. Here we assess impacts of
wildfire on soil thermal regime and rate of thermokarst bog
expansion resulting from complete permafrost thaw in western
Canadian permafrost peatlands. Effects of wildfire on permafrost
peatlands last for 30 years and include a warmer and deeper active
layer, and spatial expansion of continuously thawed soil layers
(taliks). These impacts on the soil thermal regime are associated
with a tripled rate of thermokarst bog expansion along permafrost
edges. Our results suggest that wildfire is directly responsible for
2200 ± 1500 km2 (95% CI) of thermokarst bog development in the study
region over the last 30 years, representing ~25% of all thermokarst
bog expansion during this period. With increasing fire frequency
under a warming climate, this study emphasizes the need to consider
wildfires when projecting future circumpolar permafrost thaw.

[Bulletin of Atomic Scientists bring more criticism of NYTimes]
*"Losing Earth" lost sight of some climate change villains, but not the
scope of the problem
<https://thebulletin.org/2018/08/losing-it-lost-sight-of-some-climate-change-villains-but-not-the-scope-of-the-problem/>*
By John Mecklin, August 6, 2018
If inspiring responses from prominent journalists is a measure of
success - and it can be, in some circumstances - the New York Times
Magazine's issue-length retrospective, "Losing Earth: The Decade We
Almost Stopped Climate Change," is, to borrow a Hollywood term, a smash
hit. In part because of the Times' early promotional efforts (which
included a high-production-value video, complete with ominous
soundtrack), Nathaniel Rich's article became a journalistic item of note
even before it was published on Sunday.
- - - - -
Most of the criticism of the 30,000-word history focused on its
conclusion, which many commentators saw as downplaying the role of the
oil and gas industry and the Republican Party in making sure nothing
substantive or sweeping was done about climate change and overplaying
the human propensity not to deal with problems that will not fully
manifest til far in the future. The headlines of the pieces give some
notion of the scope and fervor of response to Rich's opus:
The Problem with The New York Times' Big Story on Climate Change: By
portraying the early years of climate politics as a tragedy, the
magazine lets Republicans and the fossil-fuel industry off the hook.
(The Atlantic)
<https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/08/nyt-mag-nathaniel-rich-climate-change/566525/?utm_source=twb>
Scientists aren't impressed with New York Times' new story on
climate change: Experts label 30,000-word piece "historically
inaccurate" and "based on logical non sequiturs." (Think Progress
<https://thinkprogress.org/scientists-slam-new-york-times-climate-story-for-whitewashing-role-of-big-oil-and-gop-63fbc3a85b09/>)
Mag prints 70-page climate story, leaves some unsatisfied
(CLIMATEWIRE/E&E News
<https://www.eenews.net/climatewire/stories/1060091933?t=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eenews.net%2Fstories%2F1060091933>)
What the New York Times Magazine Got Right, and Wrong, in its
Climate Change History: While it expands the conversation to include
a broader audience, the piece lets the industries that worked to
hinder progress mostly off the hook. (Undark
<https://undark.org/article/new-york-times-magazine-climate-change/>)
As if to rub salt in the wound, an Independent Petroleum Association of
America publication came out in support of Rich's take (even while
misstating it to significant degree):
BOMBSHELL: NEW YORK TIMES DEBUNKS #EXXONKNEW CLIMATE CAMPAIGN
(Energy in Depth/Climate and Environment
<http://eidclimate.org/bombshell-new-york-times-debunks-exxonknew-climate-campaign/>)
Though I agree that Rich's piece fundamentally missed the mark on
explaining why the US government didn't move to address climate change
substantively and early, I think the article has redeeming qualities
that make it worth the time it takes to read. It provides an interesting
window into how the scientists and activists interested in sparking
action on climate change had to scheme and plot to have any chance of
getting the subject played prominently in major American media (a
situation that still - sadly, so sadly - exists even today). And "Losing
Earth" comes right out and states the climate change stakes - explains
the wholesale diminishment of human civilization that will occur, if
action isn't taken - in a way that most major American media seem afraid
to broach, even yet, even now. Here's an example of Rich's admirable
directness, which is only one of many reasons to read an article that,
flawed though it may be, is the finely crafted result of 18 months of work:
If by some miracle we are able to limit warming to two degrees, we will
only have to negotiate the extinction of the world's tropical reefs,
sea-level rise of several meters and the abandonment of the Persian
Gulf. The climate scientist James Hansen has called two-degree warming
"a prescription for long-term disaster." Long-term disaster is now the
best-case scenario. Three-degree warming is a prescription for
short-term disaster: forests in the Arctic and the loss of most coastal
cities. Robert Watson, a former director of the United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has argued that three-degree
warming is the realistic minimum. Four degrees: Europe in permanent
drought; vast areas of China, India and Bangladesh claimed by desert;
Polynesia swallowed by the sea; the Colorado River thinned to a trickle;
the American Southwest largely uninhabitable. The prospect of a
five-degree warming has prompted some of the world's leading climate
scientists to warn of the end of human civilization.

*Summer of extremes - crowded beaches and failing crops

DW Documentary
Published on Aug 6, 2018
Germany is in the throes of a scorching heatwave. For seaside resorts,
it's a boon. But farmers fear massive crop losses and demand billions in
aid.
High temperatures across the country - good news for some but a disaster
for others. The scene is almost apocalyptic on some of Germany's farms:
burning grain fields, dried-up soil and withered crops. In some areas,
nothing is growing at all any more, while animals suffer in the dry
heat. Home gardeners have been desperately watering their plants while
city authorities are calling on their residents to water the trees in
the streets. Barbecues are banned due to the risk of wildfires in many
of Germany's city parks, and fireworks displays have had to be canceled.
And there seems to be no end to the sweltering heat.

This summer, the arctic burned
<http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/07/a-global-heat-wave-has-set-the-arctic-circle-on-fire.html>.
Boreal forests, usually caked in ice, were charred. Further south, from
Quebec <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-44731929>to Japan
<https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-44935152>, hundreds of people
dropped like scorched flies in the heat, as though under a giant

with exhortations to lighten up and enjoy the sunshine. It would be
mistaken to take such scandal-seeking rhetoric at face value. It is
superfluous: it exhorts people to do what they're already doing. And for
all its apparent cheeriness, it is a counsel of nihilistic despair. If
you think something can be done, you will be serious and urgent rather
than facetious. The catastrophists are the optimists here.
To be fair, heatwave panic is silly season news. Sensationalism, though,
is its own form of euphemism. For all the apocalyptic tone of heatwave
reporting, it doesn't go far enough. Not when the issue is human extinction.
The 2016 heatwave destroyed one third of coral in the Great Barrier
Reef. Ocean life is responsible for most of the oxygen we breathe
<http://www.ecology.com/2011/09/12/important-organism/>, and coral reefs
are home to a quarter of all marine life, more productive than forest or
savannah. The extinction of the reefs, a probability at this point,
wouldsharply reduce the number of oxygen-producing phytoplankton
<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0034425715000371>.
Coupled with the accelerating acidification of the ocean
<https://phys.org/news/2018-07-ocean-acidification-million-years.html>,
warming is a threat to the air we breathe.
This is one of many dependencies supporting human life. Consider another
example. Bee populations are recovering from colony collapse disorder
<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-01/good-news-for-bees-as-numbers-recover-while-mystery-malady-wanes>.
But now scientists find that warming is likely to cause the bees to die
off rapidly

Without their pollination work, 70 per cent of the crops that feed 90
per cent of the planet would fail. The era of cheap food is ending

We are already in the midst of a mass extinction event. The regularity

the lemur <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-45035560>- is
staggering. The background rate of extinction is 150-200 species a day.
This is "biological annihilation
<http://www.pnas.org/content/114/30/E6089>". Mass extinction is not new,
but its speed is. The last such event took around 60,000 years. Now it's

already gone

By 2040, the ice will have melted for good. That entails the loss of
species, not least of the polar bear. But it also means less solar
radiation deflected <http://www.npolar.no/en/facts/albedo-effect.html>,
further warming the planet.
This is one reason why the crisis is far worse than we think.
Paleoclimatologists have shown that past warming episodes show that
there are mechanisms which magnify its effects
<http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=9522&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fs41561-018-0146-0&sref=http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/heatwave-weather-report-human-extinction-issue-a8478271.html>,
not represented in current climate models from the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change to the Paris Accords. The agreed "carbon
budget", even if anyone was adhering to it, will not keep temperatures
within two degrees of the pre-industrial average.
The biggest obstacle to comprehending this is not the climate denial
industry. It is what the sociologist Stanley Cohen called "implicatory
denial": recognising a problem but denying its consequences. This is far
more insidious, particularly at the level of policymaking. The denial of
politicians is easy to explain. An attack on fossil capitalism would be
hugely destabilising for the world economy. As Andreas Malm has pointed
out, it would destroy the worth of massive investments in plants,
infrastructures, supply chains and dependent industries. It would burn a
"planet of value". The transition would require a collective
mobilisation tantamount to world war. Few politicians want that.
What about everyday denial? What about the cheerfulness with which we
just get on with things, and the resigned despair that implies?
Certainly, there is a pervasive sense of political powerlessness. The
work of the psychoanalyst Renee Lertzman suggests that, in addition to
this, behind such resignation often lurks a thwarted mourning for worlds
that have already been lost. Worlds of childhood memory, independence,
adventure, possibility. Worlds perhaps bigger than those we find
ourselves in. It's a mourning stalled by ambivalence and guilt. This is
one reason why lectures on consumerism, as if the problem was popular
appetite, tend to be counterproductive.
But this also means that resignation is not the whole story. There is a
submerged yearning here which can become politically effective. For that
we need more than catastrophist foresight. We need something to yearn
for. We need to answer a question that we barely even know how to ask:
what will we do with ourselves as a species if we choose not to go extinct?

*Climate Change Denialists Never Had It So Good. So Why the Angst?
<https://insideclimatenews.org/news/07082018/heartland-institute-climate-change-denial-trump-administration-fossil-fuels-carbon-tax>*
Despite having unprecedented influence in Washington to achieve a fossil
fuel-first agenda, conservative interests are eyeing events outside the
Beltway with unease.
By Marianne Lavelle
When climate science deniers and fossil fuel evangelists met Tuesday in
New Orleans for the Heartland Institute's second "America First"
conference on U.S. energy, they had every reason to celebrate the
unprecedented influence they enjoy in the Trump administration.
Instead, they found plenty of reasons for dread.
- - -
Contrarian scientists, policy professionals and lawyers affiliated with
conservative interests contemplated the spread of the climate action
agenda as if it were a malignancy. While speakers at the live-streamed
sessions universally praised President Donald Trump and his regulatory
rollbacks, the overwhelming diagnosis was that more aggressive policy
surgery was needed...
- - -
High on their list of targets was the Environmental Protection Agency's
finding that greenhouse gases are a danger to human health and welfare.
That determination, affirmed by the Supreme Court, is what empowers the
agency to regulate global warming pollution.
But the acting EPA administrator, Andrew Wheeler, has said he considers
the endangerment finding "settled law" and does not wish to revisit it...
- - -
Another theme running through the sessions was exasperation with
corporations that have decided to take climate action on their own - or
at least have refused to challenge the consensus science that human
activity is the driver for global warming.
"A number of regulated utilities across the country - no reason to name
names, but there are about a dozen of them - have announced they are
going to ... reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050 from
their generating fleet, which is the Barack Obama plan and the Hillary
Clinton plan," said Frederick Palmer, a senior fellow with the Heartland
Institute and a former vice president for the coal company Peabody
Energy. "So it's as if Donald Trump wasn't elected president of the
United States as far as they are concerned."
Palmer, who sits on the National Coal Council, a federal advisory
committee to the U.S. energy secretary, said the council will soon
release a study calling for action to bar coastal states from
prohibiting coal export terminals, as Washington State has done. "We've
got to get the left coast figured out," he said.
- - -
The highest Trump administration official to appear at the conclave was
Brooke Rollins, the former CEO and president of the conservative Texas
Public Policy Foundation. Rollins serves in the White House as assistant
to the president in the Office of American Innovation. Heartland
President Tim Huelskamp, a former Kansas Congress member who chaired the
Tea Party caucus, asked her if Trump would take on the endangerment
finding and other "golden calves of the left." Rollins offered no
answer, but urged the group to keep pushing.
"We know the research of CO2 being a pollutant is just not valid,"
Rollins said. "And yet it's time to really continue research, and
continue making that argument, and continue changing the hearts and
minds of Americans."
Jay Lehr, the Heartland Institute's science director, noted the "major
role" that Heartland played in urging Trump to withdraw from the Paris
climate accord.
Lehr asked Rollins if Trump would stay the course. "People keep thinking
he could still back down," he said.
"All of my experience has proven out that when this president says he
believes in something, then there is no one more bold or courageous or
fearless," Rollins said. "Does that mean I can say today he will never
change his mind? No. But it does go to the question of how important
organizations like Heartland and Texas Public Policy Foundation are."
