*Decarbonisation in the USA : New report says "SLOW DOWN!"*
Just Have a Think
Published on Jun 30, 2019
Decarbonisation to mitigate global warming is a crucial and urgent 
priority. That's what we're hearing from our scientists and (most) 
governments. But a new report from energy consultants Wood Mackenzie 
suggests caution and a slower transition. This week we look at their 
findings.

  ["Just the Messenger" - Long video lecture by journalist about many 
different aspects of the problem -- a spiritually and scientifically 
important talk]
*Update on the State of the Planet: How Then Shall We Live?*
Dahr Jamail - Environmental Journalist...has spent several years 
researching what he labels "anthropogenic climate disruption," also 
referred to as human-caused climate change. In this presentation, he 
shares some findings of his research, which will be included in his 
soon-to-be-published book, "The End of Ice." He presents compelling - 
and sobering - information about the rise in the Earth's surface 
temperature, the melting of the polar ice caps, and sea level rise. 
Jamail then talks about the human response to these very serious 
problems, and how people can cope and cooperate with each other in the 
face of them.

[summary from Climate Nexus newsletter]
*The Fossil Fuel Money Behind Oregon Walkout: *

    Some Republican lawmakers returned to the Senate on Saturday to end
    their week-long walkout on the state's cap-and-trade bill, allowing
    the body to vote to send the legislation back to committee and
    essentially block its passage. A piece in The Nation calls back to
    an Oregonian investigation from this February to take a closer look
    at the fossil fuel money behind the 11 GOP senators who walked out,
    reporting that the state's weak campaign finance laws have allowed
    industry to leverage influence to stop several environmental bills.
    Per the Oregonian, 65 percent of the GOP's campaign contributions
    came from corporations like Koch Industries. Meanwhile, the Nation
    also reports that one of the Democratic holdouts on the bill may be
    influenced by Boeing Industries, which is in her district and has
    expressed concern about the cap-and-trade legislation. The Nation
    also reports that one of the state's wealthiest conservative donors
    funds a timber group painted as grassroots opposition. (Walkout: AP,

[Financial Times warns]
*Banks need to get ahead of climate change, or else*
Real economy cannot meet sustainability goals without help from 
financial sector
Ben Caldecott
Banks are where the financial system and the real economy meet. The UN's 
Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris climate change agreement 
will be unattainable unless banks finance solutions to these massive 
social and environmental challenges. Nor can we have efficient, fair and 
resilient financial and economic systems if banks fail to manage and 
reduce environment-related risks for themselves and their clients...
