*In the past 90 days, Seattle have received just 0.13 of an inch of
rain. Here's the latest rainfall forecast for the period Friday morning
through Saturday evening. We could receive more than 10 times that
rainfall in less than 48 hours.*

*In Response to Climate Change, Citizens in Advanced Economies Are
Willing To Alter How They Live and Work*
Many doubt success of international efforts to reduce global warming
- -
Conducted this past spring, before the summer season ushered in new
wildfires, droughts, floods and stronger-than-usual storms, the study
reveals a growing sense of personal threat from climate change among
many of the publics polled. In Germany, for instance, the share that is
“very concerned” about the personal ramifications of global warming has
increased 19 percentage points since 2015 (from 18% to 37%)...

Intense concern about the personal effects of climate change has
increased sharply in several major economies since 2015

Adults in the Asia-Pacific region also generally give China poor ratings
for dealing with climate change. South Koreans are exceptionally
critical; about two-thirds say China is doing a very bad job, the
highest share in all publics surveyed. About four-in-ten or more in New
Zealand, Japan and Australia concur. Singaporeans stand out, as half say
China is doing a good job, nearly 20 percentage points higher than the
next highest public.
In nine countries surveyed, those with less education are more positive
toward China’s response to climate change than those with more
education. Likewise, those with lower incomes are more inclined to
provide positive evaluations of China’s climate change response. Those
with less education or lower incomes are also less likely to provide a
response in several publics.

*Greenland Ice Going Gone - Andrew Christ with Alex Smith on Radio Ecoshock*
Mar 22, 2021
Alex Smith
Greenland was ice-free not long ago, and could be going there again. New
revelations from Dr. Andrew Christ, University of Vermont. Glacier
melted within last million years, ice drilling shows. With human-forced
global warming, this could happen much faster, raising global sea levels
7 meters, over 40 feet! Astounding new science and understanding of
fragile world we change. Interview by Alex Smith.

/[Youth future]/
*Climate change: Young people very worried - survey*
By Roger Harrabin
BBC environment analyst
The survey was carried out by the data analytics firm Kantar in the UK,
Finland, France, the US, Australia, Portugal, Brazil, India, the
Philippines and Nigeria. It's under peer review on open access.
Young people were asked their views on the following statements:
People have failed to care for the planet: 83% agreed globally, UK 80%
The future is frightening: 75%, UK 72%
Governments are failing young people: 65%, UK 65%
Governments can be trusted: 31%, UK 28%
The researchers said they were moved by the scale of distress. One young
person said: "I don't want to die, but I don't want to live in a world
that doesn't care for children and animals."

*Young People Are Anxious About Climate Change And Say Governments Are
Failing Them*
September 14, 2021
SHARON PRUITT-YOUNG
- -
Scientists say that nations aren't passing the right kinds of bold
policies to avert the worst effects of climate change. The survey
suggests that young people around the world grasp how widespread and
dangerous political inaction is on climate change.
The study concluded that there's a correlation between negative
emotions, such as worry, and beliefs that government responses to
climate change have been inadequate. So the way governments have been
addressing — or failing to address — climate change is directly
affecting the mental health of young people...
- -
Positive feelings such as optimism were reported least among the
respondents, researchers said. In fact, 77% said that they considered
the future to be frightening, and 56% agreed with the viewpoint that
humanity is doomed, according to the study.
For many young people, those feelings of fear and worry affect their
ability to function, too, results showed. More than 45% of the
respondents said the way they feel about climate change adversely
affects their day-to-day lives...
- -
Across all the countries represented — the United States, the United
Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, France, Finland, India, Nigeria, Portugal
and the Philippines — 65% of young people felt their government was
failing them on climate change and 60% felt that the government had been
dismissing citizens' distress over it. Nearly half of those who said
they talk with other people about climate change said that their
concerns were ignored, according to researchers.
Combating climate change individually isn't enough on its own, the
researchers said. Those in power have a responsibility to act to protect
not only the Earth but also the mental health of those who stand to
inherit the planet, they said.
As one 16-year-old included in the study wrote, "I think it's different
for young people. For us, the destruction of the planet is personal."

/[farming sciences -- dive into carbon sequestration and storage into
agricultural soils]/
*Soil carbon sequestration: When does increased soil C storage yield net
removal of greenhouse gases?*
Sep 14, 2021
AGU
Keen public interest in soil carbon sequestration will test the
scientific community’s ability to deliver effective management practices
and durable scientific concepts. The goal of this webinar series is to
hear diverse perspectives on key technical questions that inform how to
go about sequestering soil carbon in working lands.
In Webinar 3 we will explore how practices that increase soil organic
carbon impact emissions of nitrous oxide, and ask whether storing more
carbon is enough to reduce the net GHG impact of agriculture. We will
hear case studies from France by Claire Chenu (INRAE) and the U.S.
Midwest by Jane Johnson (USDA-ARS).
This series is sponsored by the International Soil Carbon Network in
partnership with AGU and the USDA Climate Hubs.

*Soil carbon sequestration: How does tillage affect soil carbon?*
Sep 14, 2021
AGU
Keen public interest in soil carbon sequestration will test the
scientific community’s ability to deliver effective soil management
practices and durable scientific concepts. In this seven-part webinar
series we will hear diverse perspectives on key questions that inform
how to go about sequestering soil carbon in working lands.
In part 4, “How does tillage affect soil carbon?”, Dr. Humberto
Blanco-Canqui from University of Nebraska, Lincoln and Stephen Ogle from
Colorado State University will share their perspectives on the extensive
literature and decades-long debate regarding whether conservation
tillage practices increase soil carbon stocks.
This series is sponsored by the International Soil Carbon Network in
partnership with the Midwest, Northeast, and Northwest USDA Climate Hubs
and AGU.

*Climate Delay Is the New Climate Denial*
The industry that has denied climate change for decades now has a new
tactic.
BY CCNOW
From the industry that has denied climate change for decades, now comes
a new tactic: “climate delay.” Some of the world’s biggest oil companies
now appear to be ditching climate denial in favor of posing as
enthusiastic backers of climate solutions. Left unsaid is that their
“solutions” do nothing to alter the industry’s business model. A skeptic
might say they’re kicking the (oil) can down the road. ..
*ESSENTIAL NEWS*
*Calls to Delay. *Activists have called on the UN to delay the COP26
climate summit in Glasgow this November, saying that vaccine equity
and prohibitively high costs to quarantine once people have arrived
in Glasgow could exclude the Global South. COP26 president Alok
Sharma said the talks must go on as planned. From Reuters…
*Go solar!* Solar energy could account for 40% of US energy by 2035,
representing a rise from 3% today, according to a new report from
the Department of Energy. The study outlines how the Biden
administration could achieve the goal of decarbonizing the
electricity sector by 2035. Whether that can happen depends on the
fate of the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill. From CNN…
*Chronic disaster mode.* This summer, one in three people in the US
experienced a climate-related weather disaster, an analysis of
federal data by The Washington Post shows. If nothing changes, this
is only the beginning. From The Washington Post…
*In the ground.* A new scientific study finds that the majority of
fossil fuels must stay in the ground to stem the climate crisis. The
assessment finds a major disconnect between the Paris goals and the
fossil fuel industry’s expansion plans. From the Guardian…
*Maybe there is no ‘waking up.’* In a passionate and clear-eyed
op-ed, veteran climate reporter Jeff Goodell posits that after the
last few months of unrelenting climate crises that should have
“woken us up,” no such realization and reversal seem to be coming.
If a cascade of fires, floods, heat deaths, Covid deaths, and
hurricanes can’t move us to collective action, what can? From
Rolling Stone…

conniving of disinformation]/
*On this day in the history of global warming September 15, 2002*
September 15, 2002: The New York Times reports:
"For the first time in six years, the annual federal report on air
pollution trends has no section on global warming, though President Bush
has said that slowing the growth of emissions linked to warming is a
priority for his administration.
"The decision to delete the chapter on climate change was made by top
officials at the Environmental Protection Agency with White House
approval, White House officials said."
