*We cannot adapt our way out of climate crisis, warns leading scientist*
Katharine Hayhoe says the world is heading for dangers people have not 
seen in 10,000 years of civilisation
The world cannot adapt its way out of the climate crisis, and counting 
on adaptation to limit damage is no substitute for urgently cutting 
greenhouse gases, a leading climate scientist has warned.

Katharine Hayhoe, chief scientist for the Nature Conservancy in the US 
and professor at Texas Tech University, said the world was heading for 
dangers unseen in the 10,000 years of human civilisation, and efforts to 
make the world more resilient were needed but by themselves could not 
soften the impact enough.

“People do not understand the magnitude of what is going on,” she said. 
“This will be greater than anything we have ever seen in the past. This 
will be unprecedented. Every living thing will be affected.”...

Hayhoe said the IPCC findings had not been broadly understood by many 
people. “This is an unprecedented experiment with the climate,” she said.

“The reality is that we will not have anything left that we value, if we 
do not address the climate crisis.”

*House Republicans to unveil conservative road map on climate, energy*
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy plans to call for boosting domestic 
fossil fuel production and streamlining the permitting process for large 
infrastructure projects
The strategy calls for streamlining the permitting process for large 
infrastructure projects, increasing domestic fossil fuel production and 
boosting exports of U.S. liquefied natural gas, which proponents say is 
cleaner than gas produced in other countries, according to the

The House GOP plan comes as Republicans seek to make gains with 
well-educated suburban voters in November. Some of these voters may want 
to see Republicans take a more proactive stance on climate change and 
energy policy, rather than letting Democrats dominate the debate, said 
George David Banks, a Republican climate policy expert who served as a 
White House climate adviser under Trump.

“It’s the competitive seats that make a difference,” he said. “And most 
of those run through the suburbs. So there’s certainly a recognition 
that you’ve got to win a critical mass of those to control the House.”

Philip Rossetti, a senior fellow on energy at the R Street Institute, a 
free-market think tank, agreed.

“Republicans are poised to take the House, but keeping it is going to 
require showing moderate voters that they can govern,” Rossetti said. 
“Building a climate platform that Americans can support helps them show 
that they’re about more than just opposing Democrats.”

*Europe’s Russian Oil Ban Could Mean a New World Order for Energy*
The effort could hurt Russia but could also help drive up already high 
oil prices, hurting the global economy and enriching energy companies.
By Clifford Krauss - June 1, 2022
HOUSTON — The European Union’s embargo on most Russian oil imports could 
deliver a fresh jolt to the world economy, propelling a realignment of 
global energy trading that leaves Russia economically weaker, gives 
China and India bargaining power and enriches producers like Saudi Arabia.

Europe, the United States and much of the rest of the world could suffer 
because oil prices, which have been marching higher for months, could 
climb further as Europe buys energy from more distant suppliers. 
European companies will have to scour the world for the grades of oil 
that their refineries can process as easily as Russian oil. There could 
even be sporadic shortages of certain fuels like diesel, which is 
crucial for trucks and agricultural equipment.
In effect, Europe is trading one unpredictable oil supplier — Russia — 
for unstable exporters in the Middle East.
- -
India is another beneficiary because it has big refineries that can 
process Russian crude, turning it into diesel, some of which could end 
up in Europe even if the raw material came from Russia.

“India is becoming the de facto refining hub for Europe,” analysts at 
RBC Capital Markets said in a recent report.

But buying diesel from India will raise costs in Europe because it’s 
more expensive to ship fuel from India than to have it piped in from 
Russian refineries. “The unintended consequence is that Europe is 
effectively importing inflation to its own citizens,” the RBC analysts said.
India is getting about 600,000 barrels a day from Russia, up from 90,000 
a day last year, when Russia was a relatively minor supplier. It is now 
India’s second-biggest supplier after Iraq.

But India could find it difficult to keep buying from Russia if the 
European Union’s restrictions on European companies insuring Russian oil 
shipments raise costs too much.

“India is a winner,” said Helima Croft, RBC’s head of commodity 
strategy, “as long as they are not hit with secondary sanctions.”

  Jun 1, 2022  Climate Change Impacts on El Niño — La Niña (ENSO) 
Variability and the Severe Global Consequences/
/The most sophisticated climate simulation models predict that as the 
climate continues to warm there will be more ENSO (El Nino Southern 
Oscillation; essentially the El Niño, the La Niña, and the neutral 
state) variability. They also predict more El Nino’s which transfer heat 
from the oceans to the atmosphere (Equatorial Pacific SST’s at least 
+0.5 C warmer than normal), and fewer, less severe La Nina’s (which have 
the oceans retain more heat, and have Equatorial Pacific SST cooling of 
at least -0.5 C)./
