*Global Ocean Destruction. Can we stop ourselves destroying our own life 
support systems?*
Oct 6, 2021
Just Have a Think
Our oceans are in big trouble. For decades they've been soaking up the 
worst excesses of profligate human overconsumption, everything from heat 
energy and carbon dioxide to chemical run off and waste plastics. We've 
been using the deep blue seas as a global garbage bin, and now they're 
overflowing. A new report from the Copernicus Marine Service outlines 
just how serious the situation has become.

*Copernicus Marine Service - Summary Report*
The Ocean State Report 5 Summary is now available online from the 
Copernicus Marine Service and Mercator Ocean International (see full 
report). This annual publication provides a comprehensive and 
state-of-the-art report on the current state, natural variations, and 
ongoing changes in the European regional seas and global ocean, 
particularly in 2019. Available in a concise, illustrated, and easily 
accessible format, the Summary (available in English and French) is 
intended to act as a reference for the scientific community, 
policy-makers, and the general public to better understand the 
importance and impacts of a changing ocean.

The Summary is divided into four chapters, presenting the data of a 
changing ocean from several angles. Chapters one, two, and three present 
the state and key observations of a changing ocean, examine the evolving 
impacts of these changes in line with climate change, and discuss the 
importance of sustainable ocean governance for managing impacts. The 
Summary concludes with chapter four which highlights new tools developed 
using Copernicus Marine Service products and illustrates how accurate 
and timely information is key to monitoring, understanding, and adapting 
to a changing ocean.  The sections below highlight the key points 
discussed in each chapter.

ABOUT THE OCEAN STATE REPORT
The Ocean State Report is an annual publication of the Copernicus Marine 
Service and Mercator Ocean International [3] providing a comprehensive, 
state-of-the-art report on the current state, natural variations, and 
ongoing changes in the global ocean and European regional seas. The goal 
of the Ocean State Report is to provide reliable and 
scientifically-assured information, drawing on data from the 1970s to 
present. The report is written by over 150 scientific experts from more 
than 30 European institutions.

There is particular emphasis on European seas, as the Ocean State Report 
is meant to act not only as a reference for a global audience, but more 
directly for the activities of the European Union. The full Ocean State 
Report (available here) is a supplement of the Journal of Operational 
Oceanography (JOO) [4], an official publication of the Institute of 
Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST) [5], published by 
Taylor & Francis Group.

/[Talk about climate and global warming - Hayhoe in video ] /
*If climate change threatens us all, shouldn't everyone be talking about 
it? "That's the only way revolutions ever start"*
OCTOBER 5, 2021 / CBS NEWS
Climate change is a major global threat, but not yet a major topic of 
kitchen table conversation. At the Dallas World Aquarium, CBS News found 
most people just don't usually get into the conversation.

"How often do you talk about climate change?" "CBS Mornings" co-host 
Tony Dokoupil asked some visitors.

"Have we once talked about climate? Maybe once or twice in our, you 
know, seven-year relationship," Chris Glenn replied...

Author Katharine Hayhoe said more than half of U.S. adults are concerned 
about climate change, but only about a third of us ever talk about it.

Hayhoe is a prominent climate scientist at Texas Tech University who 
studies not only the climate but the conversation around it.

"I mean, if one more person tells you about a starving polar bear, or a 
melting iceberg, or rising sea levels, you're just like, 'What am I 
supposed to do? I'm just one person. I'm not, like, the president, or 
CEO, or anything," said Hayhoe.

Hayhoe argues the most important thing people can do is the one thing so 
many have been avoiding—talking about it.

"You think regular people can start a revolution on this by having 
conversations in their community," Dokoupil asked.

"I think that's the only way revolutions ever started," said Hayhoe.

To see how Hayhoe does it without devolving into politics or argument, 
CBS News started some conversations.

"For me, I feel like this world ain't gonna survive long," Chantz Beene 
said after being asked about the topic.

"Did you know that 90 companies are responsible for two-thirds of the 
whole global warming problem since the beginning of the industrial era?" 
asked Hayhoe, who joined in the conversation.

"I did not know that," Beene replied.

Hayhoe was full of facts, yet her first move wasn't to lecture, but to 
listen. She informed two people that 9,000,000 people die every year of 
air pollution.

When Hayhoe did jump in the conversation, it wasn't with global data, 
but local issues.

"We see changes in weather patterns, but they don't happen to happen as 
close to home..." Glenn said.

"Here's the thing. If we live in Texas, we're getting hit hardest of any 
state. We get..." Hayhoe said.

"Hurricanes," Glenn replied.

"The Hurricanes, the floods, the heat, even the crazy winter storm that 
we had... It was worse because of the Arctic warming so fast," added Hayhoe.

In conversation after conversation, Hayhoe kept the focus on solutions. 
She informed one person that Texas is number one in wind energy.

She also reminded people that while the challenges may seem 
overwhelming, the country has a pretty good track record of getting it 
right, eventually.

After the conversation, Beene — who said earlier that the world was 
potentially "doomed" — said that the first step to getting it together 
is "talking about it."

The conversation with Hayhoe even changed one person's view.

"Has this conversation changed you in any way?" Dokoupil asked.

"Yeah, I mean, I would, I'd be more vocal to it. I'd want to spread the 
awareness," one person said.

/[video discussion - how less nuke, can mean more carbon into the air ]
/*Why nuclear plants are shutting down*
Oct 1, 2021
Vox
The nuclear power dilemma, explained.

The infamous Indian Point nuclear plant, located roughly 30 miles north 
of Manhattan, shut down earlier this year. To some, the shutdown was a 
victory following decades of protests about safety and environmental 
concerns. Here’s the problem: When operating, Indian Point provided more 
electricity than is produced annually by all solar and wind in New York 
state. And Indian Point is not the only plant closing. Cleo Abram 
explores why so many nuclear plants are shutting down - by taking a 
closer look at Indian Point.

/*34 inches of rain in 24 hours breaks continental record*
By Mary Gilbert, AccuWeather meteorologist

Updated Oct. 6, 2021
Parts of northern Italy are recovering from a historic deluge earlier 
this week that produced a new continent-wide record for rainfall over a 
12-hour period and left one city with nearly a year's worth of rainfall 
in one day.

Rossiglione, Italy, located in the Genoa province, found itself in the 
absolute worst of Monday's extreme rainfall. The city ended up with a 
mind-boggling 34.8 inches (883.8 mm) of rainfall over the course of 24 
hours.

The annual rainfall total for the nearby city of Genoa itself tops out 
at just over 42 inches, which is fairly representative for the region at 
large, according to AccuWeather forecasters. This means that Rossiglione 
recorded 82.9 percent of the average rainfall that falls over the course 
of an entire year in the region in just 24 hours.

In order to record rainfall totals that extreme, rainfall rates have to 
be extraordinary, perhaps even record-breaking.

In 12 hours, from 5:40 a.m. to 5:40 p.m. local time, the city recorded a 
staggering 29.2 inches (740.6 mm), which broke the record for the 
European continent, according to climatologist Maximiliano Herrera.

"That's ridiculous rainfall," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Adam 
Douty said...

/[The news archive - looking back]/
*On this day in the history of global warming October  7, 1984*
October 7, 1984: At the conclusion of his first debate with President
Ronald Reagan, Democratic challenger and former Vice President Walter
Mondale declares:

"I believe that we will be better off if we protect this environment.
And contrary to what the President says, I think their record on the
environment is inexcusable and often shameful. These laws are not
being enforced, have not been enforced, and the public health and the
air and the water are paying the price. That's not fair for our
future.

"I think our future requires a President to lead us in an all-out
search to advance our education, our learning, and our science and
training, because this world is more complex and we're being pressed
harder all the time."

October 7, 2003: Arnold Schwarzenegger succeeds Gray Davis as the
governor of California after a highly controversial "recall election."
Schwarzenegger--who had been demonized by talk radio host Rush
Limbaugh in the weeks prior to the election as not being a "real"
conservative--would become one of the very few prominent elected
Republican officials urging action on climate change.
