[Maine Maple Sunday is today]
*How Climate Change Is Affecting The Maine Maple Syrup Industry 
<http://mainepublic.org/post/how-climate-change-affecting-maine-maple-syrup-industry>*
On a spring day so cold the sap froze in the few old-fashioned buckets 
that Mark Cooper of Coopers Maple Products still uses, the Windham maple 
producer talked about the changes he has noticed over the 31 years he's 
been in business.
The season used to start in late February and run through early April.
"It was pretty consistent," he said.
Not anymore. These days, it's not uncommon for him to make maple syrup 
in January or to have balmy 65 degree February days followed by huge 
snow storms and frigid temperatures in March. He's noticing his maple 
trees have struggled some, with fungal diseases or branches on otherwise 
healthy trees that drop to the ground for no reason he can ascertain. 
Red maples are moving in and sugar maples are losing ground, he's 
noticed. Big wind and snow storms also have taken a toll on the trees. 
And even when the sap is running, there's just not as big a flow as 
there used to be.
"We certainly have seen a change, and not for the better," Cooper said.
- - - - -
"Sweeping climate change under the rug won't change anything," Kristin 
Jackson, the NRCM federal outreach coordinator, said.
Cooper has already made a couple of major technological shifts during 
his decades as a maple producer. He started with buckets, then moved to 
a gravity tubing system, then most recently to a vacuum pump-operated 
system. That system lets him collect sap even when the conditions are 
less than ideal, and makes his trees more productive. That's a help, he 
said, but can only do so much.
"Our biggest challenge is getting decent weather to produce enough sap 
flow," Cooper said. "We've had below average production over the last 
seven years, compared to the previous 20 years. Those wide swings of 
temperatures are something we didn't use to deal with."
Still, despite everything, he loves making syrup and is looking forward 
to the crowds and festivities of Maine Maple Sunday, which will mark its 
35th year on Sunday, March 25. The people who come to his farm will 
enjoy a big breakfast, complete with maple syrup, of course. They'll 
have the chance to meet some of his farm animals and will smell the 
fragrant aroma of simmering maple sap. And maybe they'll come away with 
an understanding of how weather and climate changes can affect his industry.

>From wildfires to floods, climate change keeps coming for Montecito, 
California

This time it might have been the people of Montecito, and this time the 
storm might have passed without turning the hillsides into a deathtrap. 
But that's the thing about California; there's always another drought 
and another fire and another flood around the corner. Which means in the 
Golden State, it's always evacuation season.

*Mailings to Teachers Highlight a Political Fight Over Climate Change in 
the Classroom 
<https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/mailings-to-teachers-highlight-a-political-fight-over-climate-change-in-the-classroom/>*
MARCH 23, 2018 / by KATIE WORTH
Last spring, science teachers across the nation began receiving 
unsolicited packages containing classroom materials from a libertarian 
group that rejects the scientific consensus on climate change.
This spring, some of the same teachers are opening packages containing 
very different materials: A book written by a Cornell University 
affiliate called "The Teacher-Friendly Guide to Climate Change," which 
embraces the prevailing science, explains the phenomenon in detail and 
includes recommendations for how to teach the subject to children...
This rare back-and-forth of direct mailings to teachers demonstrates how 
classrooms have emerged as a battleground in the American political war 
over climate change. While those who reject mainstream climate science 
have long advocated their view in Washington and statehouses across the 
country, their efforts to influence educators – and the counter-efforts 
from the science community – shows the extent to which the minds of 
children are also being targeted.
Last year's mailings were sent out by the Heartland Institute, an 
Illinois-based think tank that holds an annual conference that has 
become a pilgrimage for those who reject the overwhelming findings of 
the scientific community that humans are causing the earth's climate to 
change. The packages contained pamphlets, a DVD and a book titled "Why 
Scientists Disagree about Global Warming." A spokesman for the group 
said it sent more than 350,000 packages to K-12 and college-level 
science teachers last year...
- - - - - - -
Among those who've picked up a copy of the PRI book is Lisa Ballard, an 
environmental science teacher at Glendale Union High School District in 
Phoenix. She said she and other teachers at her school received the 
Heartland packages last year. She said she was shocked to find a 
colleague was considering using those materials in her class.
"I had a talk with her," she said. "I told her it wasn't credible and 
not aligned with our standards, and she said she'd had no idea."
Ballard suspects there are many other teachers out there like her colleague.
"Teachers don't get a lot of free stuff, so when they do – even if it's 
just slightly relevant to their class – they'll be inclined to use it," 
she said.

*Smith's Error-Filled Climate Op-Ed 
<https://www.factcheck.org/2018/03/smiths-error-filled-climate-op-ed/>*
By Vanessa Schipani, Posted on March 23, 2018

    *Lamar Smith,U.S. Representative*
      Wrote that climate scientists have predicted "global temperatures
    would increase more than one degree Celsius by 2020," but observed
    temperatures have been only "half as high."
    Op-ed for Fox News – Monday, March 12, 2018

- Smith took a quote by climate scientist Stephen Schneider out of 
context, claiming he advised other researchers in his field to "never 
express doubt" about their work to the public.
- Smith said climate scientists have predicted "global temperatures 
would increase more than one degree Celsius by 2020," but observed 
temperatures have been "half as high." Since the late 19th century, the 
planet has already warmed about 1.1 C, says NASA.
- He said research shows the Paris agreement "would decrease warming 
only 0.16 degree Celsius by 2100." But the author of that study said his 
research was cherry-picked.
- He claimed the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has "low 
confidence" that climate change contributes to extreme weather. The 
IPCC's confidence in 2012 varied from medium to low. Newer reports by 
other organizations have increased confidence.
- He said "the historical record disproves" climate scientists who have 
"tried to link [hurricanes] and climate change." But there is evidence 
to suggest there's a link.
- He claimed wildfires are "decreasing in frequency." But they've 
increased in total acreage - the metric scientists use to measure fire 
behavior.
- Smith, who announced his retirement from Congress when his term ends 
this year, primarily argued in his March 12 op-ed that the House 
Science, Space and Technology Committee - unlike "climate alarmists" - 
"follows the scientific method, which welcomes critiques, avoids 
exaggerated predictions, and relies on unbiased data."
Yet his op-ed is filled with scientifically inaccurate claims.
- - - - - -
Smith took a quote by Stephen Schneider, a professor at Stanford 
University who died in 2010, out of context when he claimed the climate 
scientist "has said, '…we have to offer up scary scenarios, make 
simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts 
we might have.' " Smith added, "His message is clear: never express 
doubt and never accept any critiques." That was not Schneider's message.
The quote comes from an article published in Discover magazine's 1989 
issue. Schneider, who also served as a co-author or lead author on all 
five IPCC reports, provides the full quote from that article in an 
editorial he wrote for the American Physical Society's newspaper in 
1996. (We verified this quote's accuracy with a microfilm version of 
that issue of Discover.)

    Schneider, Oct. 1989, Discover: On the one hand, as scientists we
    are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to
    tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but – which means that
    we must include all the doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands, and
    buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings
    as well. And like most people we'd like to see the world a better
    place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce
    the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change. To do that we
    need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's
    imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media
    coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified,
    dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might
    have. This 'double ethical bind' we frequently find ourselves in
    cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the
    right balance is between being effective and being honest. I hope
    that means being both.

- - - - - -
Smith also made a couple of faulty claims about global temperatures. For 
one, he claimed that global warming predictions scientists made in the 
1970s "are so far off" observed temperatures.

    Smith, March 12: Since the late 1970s, climate scientists have told
    the American people that global temperatures would increase more
    than one degree Celsius by 2020. However, actual satellite
    temperature observations do not support these predictions. Observed
    temperatures were less than half as high as the climate models'
    predictions. When the predictions are so far off, we should not make
    policy decisions based on them.

We couldn't find any support for Smith's claims, and his office didn't 
provide us with any solid support either. The spokesperson said that 
"climate models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 
consistently predict temperatures that are higher than the 
temperature[s] that are observed by satellites."
- - - - - -
Lastly, Smith claimed in his op-ed: "Examination of patterns of other 
extreme weather events in the United States shows that a changing 
climate does not increase the frequency of these events," adding, "U.S. 
wildland fires are decreasing in frequency." But scientists look at the 
total acreage of fires - not the number of fires - to evaluate links 
with global warming. And the total acreage has increased since at least 
the 1980s.
Kari Cobb, a spokesperson for the National Interagency Fire Center, 
explained to us by email: "It's important to look at the acreage burned 
over the number of fires reported because that is what is indicative of 
fire behavior."
The "acres burned can be tied to environmental factors like climate and 
availability of fuels," such as dry leaves, brush or grass. But the 
number of fires "does not provide a correlation to most environmental 
factors that truly affect fire." In other words, "All it provides is how 
many of fires were reported, not how that fire behaved or moved across 
the landscape," she said.
We also spoke with Cobb for an article we wrote back in October that 
looked at whether global warming is linked to the increase in the total 
acreage of wildfires in the West - an increase that dates back to at 
least the 1980s. As we pointed out in that piece, researchers say a hot 
and dry summer - conditions more likely in a warmer world - caused 
widespread wildfires in Western states last year. But land use changes 
dating back to the 1800s have also played a role.
When we asked Cobb in October what role climate change plays in the 
severity and length of the fire season, she pointed to "longer summers, 
higher temperatures, decreased precipitation, and longer episodes of 
drought." She added, "The combination of these changes has increased the 
availability of dry fuels and the ease at which fire ignites and spreads."
Overall, Smith's Fox News piece twisted the words, findings and methods 
of climate scientists, making it what we'd call an error-filled op-ed.

[Automotive News]
*Moves on CAFE could just bring uncertainty 
<http://www.autonews.com/article/20180323/OEM11/180329841/cafe-moves-bring-uncertainty>*
March 23, 2018 - Eric Kulisch
WASHINGTON - The Trump administration finally will tip its hand this 
week about how it intends to treat fuel efficiency rules in place for 
early next decade, but clear answers on potential changes likely will 
take several months.
Clean-air advocates expect the White House to significantly water down 
Obama-era standards aimed at addressing global warming, throwing into 
doubt the unified national program that automakers say protects them 
from the cost and complexity of building vehicles to disparate 
government specifications.
Automakers lobbied a year ago for a second look at the EPA's tailpipe 
emission standards for the 2022-25 model years and got their wish with 
the new Republican administration. But the outcome of that effort is 
replete with risks for all stakeholders -- not least the automakers 
themselves.
The forthcoming decisions may be anticlimactic. The EPA has a regulatory 
deadline to issue a final determination by Sunday, April 1. The 
administrator widely is expected to announce that the standards are not 
appropriate, which would then kick off a new rule-making process. The 
explanation for the decision could provide insight into which way the 
agency is headed. A proposal for new standards could take months, 
although some reports say officials are shooting for a release this summer.
Bloomberg and Reuters, both citing anonymous sources, reported Friday 
that EPA officials have decided that the 2022-2025 standards should be 
relaxed 
<http://www.autonews.com/article/20180323/OEM11/180329782/epa-poised-to-side-with-automakers-calls-to-ease-fuel-rules-report>. 

Car companies insist they only wanted the government to stick to the 
original timetable for evaluation of the corporate average fuel economy 
standards, rather than the Obama administration's accelerated review, in 
hopes of gaining some flexibility with compliance. But environmentalists 
say the gambit could backfire if an administration with strong 
deregulation instincts and skepticism about climate change opts for 
greater revisions.
"Based on what we've seen from this administration, it's entirely within 
the realm of possibility that the standards will be completely rolled 
back and flatlined," said David Cooke, senior vehicles analyst at the 
Union of Concerned Scientists. "Automakers should have recognized ... 
this was always a possibility. If all they wanted was minor tweaks, they 
didn't need to roll back the final determination."

[Coal looks backwards]
Obama official: Trump cuts will leave coal clean-up agency unable to 
function 
<http://www.climatechangenews.com/2018/03/15/obama-official-trump-cuts-will-leave-coal-clean-agency-unable-function/>
Published on 15/03/2018 By Mark Olalde
The number of mine site inspections is falling and proposed budget cuts 
at the federal regulator will further erode oversight, a former top 
official warns
Trump-era budget cuts will leave the office that oversees the clean-up 
of the nation's coal mines unable to do its job, according to an 
official who headed up the division under Barack Obama.
Donald Trump's administration has proposed to slash $130 million from 
the annual discretionary budget for the Office of Surface Mining 
Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE). Savings are to come from axing a 
pilot programme that couples reclamation of abandoned sites with 
economic development projects and cutting staff numbers 12% to 381 
full-time employees.
But Joe Pizarchik, who led OSMRE for seven years until Trump's 
inauguration, said it would struggle to fulfil its mandate under the 
proposed budget.
"If OSMRE is going to fulfil its legal obligations to assist the states 
and tribes, to work with the citizens, to do the statutory mandated 
oversight, OSMRE should have approximately 570 employees," said Pizarchik.
OSMRE did not respond to requests for comment.
  - - - - -
Campaigners expressed fears that enforcement will be further weakened 
under Trump's "energy dominance" strategy to promote fossil fuels.
"It's really been frustrating to watch these lawmakers double down on 
their commitment to the industry at the expense of the citizens and the 
taxpayers who are really going to have to bear the cost of the legacy of 
these mines," said Peter Morgan, a senior attorney at the Sierra Club 
who focuses on the coal industry.

*Radar images show large swath of West Texas oil patch is heaving and 
sinking at alarming rates 
<http://blog.smu.edu/research/2018/03/20/radar-images-show-large-swath-of-texas-oil-patch-is-heaving-and-sinking-at-alarming-rates/>*
Analysis indicates decades of oil production activity have destabilized 
localities in an area of about 4,000 square miles populated by small 
towns, roadways and a vast network of oil and gas pipelines and storage 
tanks
Two giant sinkholes near Wink, Texas, may just be the tip of the 
iceberg, according to a new study that found alarming rates of new 
ground movement extending far beyond the infamous sinkholes.
That's the finding of a geophysical team from Southern Methodist 
University, Dallas that previously reported the rapid rate at which the 
sinkholes are expanding and new ones forming.
Now the team has discovered that various locations in large portions of 
four Texas counties are also sinking and uplifting.
Radar satellite images show significant movement of the ground across 
localities in a 4000-square-mile area - in one place as much as 40 
inches over the past two-and-a-half years, say the geophysicists.
"The ground movement we're seeing is not normal. The ground doesn't 
typically do this without some cause," said geophysicist Zhong Lu, a 
professor in the Roy M. Huffington Department of Earth Sciences at SMU 
and a global expert in satellite radar imagery analysis.
- - - - - -
Ground movement associated with oil activity
The SMU researchers found a significant relationship between ground 
movement and oil activities that include pressurized fluid injection 
into the region's geologically unstable rock formations.
Fluid injection includes waste saltwater injection into nearby wells, 
and carbon dioxide flooding of depleting reservoirs to stimulate oil 
recovery.
Injected fluids increase the pore pressure in the rocks, and the release 
of the stress is followed by ground uplift. The researchers found that 
ground movement coincided with nearby sequences of wastewater injection 
rates and volume and CO2 injection in nearby wells.
Also related to the ground's sinking and upheaval are dissolving salt 
formations due to freshwater leaking into abandoned underground oil 
facilities, as well as the extraction of oil...
- - - - -  -
At two wastewater injection wells 9.3 miles west of Wink and Kermit, the 
radar detected upheaval of about 2.1 inches that coincided with 
increases in injection volume. The injection wells extend about 4,921 
feet to 5,577 feet deep into a sandstone formation.
In the vicinity of 11 CO2 injection wells nearly seven miles southwest 
of Monahans, the radar analysis detected surface uplift of more than 1 
inch. The wells are about 2,460 feet to 2,657 feet deep. As with 
wastewater injection, CO2 injection increased pore pressure in the 
rocks, so when stress was relieved it was followed by uplift of about 1 
inch at the surface...
Radar analysis by the SMU team detected rapid subsidence ranging from 
three-fourths of an inch to nearly 4 inches around active wells, 
abandoned wells and orphaned wells...

*Should the UN Security Council take up climate change and if so how? 
Interview with Prof. Ken Conca <https://youtu.be/1IwjwkKW_X0>*
Adelphi, Berlin Published on Mar 12, 2018
The UN Security Council is under increasing pressure to incorporate 
climate threats under its global security umbrella. Ken Conca, Professor 
of International Relations at the American University, highlights 
current barriers for the UNSC to take up the issue and suggests steps to 
a transformation of the body.

"So there have been several proposals to try to get the Security Council 
more active and engaged on the question of climate change. One thing our 
work shows it that there are a few really difficult challenges to doing 
that more effectively.
First, the Council really struggles with information flows. It does not 
have any independent capacity to generate good analyses and information. 
The countries on the Council that do have that capacity often don't 
share that information and information is shared very poorly with other 
parts of the United Nations system. For example the humanitarian organs.
Second problem is: the Council is almost inevitably a reactive body. And 
so much of the climate security agenda is preventive. What we keep 
hearing when we talk to people in and around the Council is that until 
crisis hits, until refugees start showing up its very difficult to know 
what it is that the Council could do.
And a third problem is many other countries around the Council are very 
weary of seeing it intrude upon the responsibilities of other parts of 
the UN system, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Chance, the 
activities of some of the specialised agencies. There is lots of 
suspicion about the Council as being a hierarchical, unrepresentative 
body. And there is a strong preference on the part of many countries to 
move climate conversations into the more legitimate parts of the United 
Nations. Those that are governed by the climate change convention for 
example....

   -  from D.R. Tucker*
March 25, 2005: In a Boston Globe column later republished in the New 
York Times, Derrick Z. Jackson notes, "Every time the world calls for 
action on climate change, the United States emits more White House gases."

    Earlier in the month, the former chief scientific adviser to the
    British government, Lord May of Oxford, bluntly compared Bush to a
    modern-day Nero. Last fall, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said,
    ''If what the science tells about climate change is correct, then
    unabated it will result in catastrophic consequences for our world.
    The science almost certainly is correct."

    At the recent London conference, Brown said, ''Environmental issues
    including climate change have traditionally been placed in a
    category separate from the economy and from economic policy. But
    this is no longer tenable. Across a range of environmental issues,
    from soil erosion to the depletion of marine stocks, from water
    scarcity to air pollution, it is clear now not just that economic
    activity is their cause, but that these problems in themselves
    threaten future economic activity and growth."

    Nero and his fiddlers would hear none of that. Asked last month what
    the science was on global warming, Connaughton said on CNBC, ''There
    are many different views."

    The science ceased to have many views years ago. The very first
    sentence in the executive summary of the 2001 National Academies of
    Science report on climate change begins with, ''Greenhouse gases are
    accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities .
    . . " The report further said, ''Global warming could well have
    serious adverse societal and ecological impacts by the end of this
    century." The science continues to choke under the White House effect.
