*THE ERA OF CLIMATE DENIAL IS OVER*
A new report from the IPCC clarifies the immense stakes in the climate 
crisis.
Deconstructed
August 13 2021
THIS WEEK, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, 
released the first part of its latest report on the state of the Earth’s 
climate. It details with greater certainty than ever before the links 
between human activity and extreme weather patterns: fires, floods, and 
rising sea levels. Journalist David Wallace-Wells and sociologist Dana 
Fisher join Ryan Grim to discuss the takeaways from the new report.
Transcript coming soon.

In this episode of Shaping The Future, I am speaking to Global Security 
expert, Dr Chad Briggs at the University of Alaska Anchorage.

Chad advises many global organisations on the intersection between 
climate change and national and regional security issues. His clients 
include the US State Department, US Air Force, the Swedish Armed Forces, 
the European Union, as well as US Dept of Energy, among others.

Chad explains the linkages between climate change and hybrid warfare 
situations that are going on now and will continue to pose a massive 
threat to societies around the world. These include government level 
sources of disinformation, such as the Global Warming Policy Foundation 
in the UK or the Heartland Institute in the US, who are funded by fossil 
fuel interest groups to sow doubt and chaos that drive us further down 
the road of climate catastrophe.

I want to thank the Global Military Advisory Council on Climate Change 
(GMACCC) for their help in organising this series of interviews with 
security experts. The next interview will be with former Obama White 
House advisor and Head of the US National Security Council for Climate, 
Alice Hill about her new book due out in September.

Additional segments on Geoengineering and models versus first-hand 
knowledge from this interview with Chad will be available later this 
week to Patreon backers via GENN.cc. This will be accompanied by an 
overview of the forthcoming interviews and reflections on key points 
that are emerging from the series.

I will also be covering COP26 in Glasgow and conducting interviews with 
a wide range of participants. So do stay tuned and if you can, please

[Video thoughts]
*IPCC Sixth Climate Assessment. Will this one make the blindest bit of 
difference?*
Aug 15, 2021
Just Have a Think

The IPCC has been publishing science based climate warning assessments 
since 1990 and in those 30 odd years human beings have released more 
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than we did in the previous two 
centuries. That has to go down as a fail. This latest report contains 
the starkest and bluntest language so far. So will this one make any 
difference?

[The news archive - looking back]
*On this day in the history of global warming August  17, 2000*

August 17, 2000: At the Democratic National Convention, Vice President 
Al Gore, the Democratic Presidential nominee, declares:

"In my first term [in Congress], a family in Hardeman County, Tennessee 
wrote a letter and told how worried they were about toxic waste that had 
been dumped near their home. I held some of the first hearings on the 
issue. And ever since, I've been there in the fight against the big 
polluters.

"Our children should not have to draw the breath of life in cities awash 
in pollution. When they come in from playing on a hot summer afternoon, 
every child in America, anywhere in America, ought to be able to turn on 
the faucet and get a glass of safe, clean drinking water.

"On the issue of the environment, I've never given up, I've never backed 
down, and I never will.

"And I say it again tonight: we must reverse the silent, rising tide of 
global warming."
