*Florida Leaders Rejected Major Climate Laws. Now They’re Seeking Storm 
Aid.*
Senior Republican politicians in the state have opposed federal action 
against global warming, which is making storms like Hurricane Ian more 
destructive.
- -
“To not admit that climate change is real and we need to address it 
bodes nothing but a harm for the future for Florida and the nation,” 
said Charlie Crist, a former Republican Florida governor who won a House 
seat as a Democrat, and is now challenging Mr. DeSantis’s re-election...
- -
But Ms. Luna pushed back hard on the need to address climate change by 
cutting fossil fuel emissions. She called it “completely bonkers” that 
the United States would harm its own economy “while we send 
manufacturing to a country that is one of the top polluters of the 
world,” referring to China.

Mr. Crist sounded almost sympathetic as he discussed the bind that 
Florida Republicans find themselves in — accepting donations from the 
oil and gas industry, unwilling to raise the issue of climate change 
with their most loyal voters, while surveying the damage it is doing to 
their state.

The oil and gas industry is not a major source of campaign cash for 
politicians in Florida, where offshore drilling is prohibited. Mr. Rubio 
has received $223,239 from the oil and gas industry since 2017, which 
puts the industry at 15th on his donor list, federal records show. Mr. 
Scott has received $236,483 from oil and gas, his 14th most generous 
industry.

But the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which Mr. Scott leads, 
has received $3.2 million in oil and gas donations this campaign cycle, 
according to the Center for Responsive Politics, eclipsed only by real 
estate, Wall Street and retirees. By contrast, the fossil fuel business 
isn’t among the top 20 industries that have given this cycle to the 
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee...
- -
On Friday, Mr. Rubio and Mr. Scott wrote to their Senate colleagues, 
asking them to support a package of disaster aid. Like Mr. DeSantis, Mr. 
Rubio opposed a similar measure after Sandy struck the Northeast in 
2012. (Mr. Scott had not yet been elected to the Senate.)

Yoca Arditi-Rocha, executive director of the CLEO Institute, a nonprofit 
group in Florida that promotes climate change education, advocacy and 
resilience, said the state’s top elected officials need to do much more 
than react after disaster strikes.

“Florida will continue to be on the front lines of more destructive 
hurricanes fueled by a warming climate,” Ms. Arditi-Rocha said. “We need 
Republican leaders to step up.”

*Pakistan floods: UN issues urgent appeal over 'public health emergency' 
- BBC News*
Oct 4, 2022  The United Nations has issued an urgent appeal for funds to 
help families in flood-hit Pakistan to cope with the “public health 
emergency”.

More than 1700 people have died, including nearly 600 children, and 
thousands more were injured as the floodwaters rose.

With the floods not expected to recede for many months, life-threatening 
water borne diseases are on the rise.

148,792 views  Apr 9, 2022  200 Miles east of Seattle, Washington lies 
the Scablands, an unusual landscape full of intriguing layer deposits, 
gorges, and vast open land that looks as though it has ripples in it.  
For decades, scientists have wondered what as led to the unique 
formation of this area. Some believe it was glacial melting, and others 
believe it was river erosion, or a massive flood millions of years ago.  
To understand what the truth is behind the landscape, we take a look at 
the land through geology.

/[The news archive - a famous outing of status quo stupidity ]/
/*October 5, 2005*/
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman observes:

    "When it comes to energy policy, the G.O.P. has become fossilized.
    That is, it’s fossil fuels, and only fossil fuels, all the way...

    "Part of the answer is surely that promotion of renewable energy is
    linked in many people’s minds with attempts to limit climate change
    — and climate denial has become a key part of conservative identity.
    The truth is that climate impact isn’t the only cost of burning
    fossil fuels, that fossil-fuel-associated pollutants like
    particulates and ozone inflict huge, measurable damage and are major
    reasons to support alternative energy. Furthermore, renewables are
    getting close to being cost-competitive even in the absence of
    special incentives (and don’t forget that oil and gas have long been
    subsidized by the tax code.) But the association with climate
    science evokes visceral hostility on the right.

    "Beyond that, you need to follow the money. We used to say that the
    G.O.P. was the party of Big Energy, but these days it would be more
    accurate to say that it’s the party of Old Energy. In the 2014
    election cycle the oil and gas industry gave 87 percent of its
    political contributions to Republicans; for coal mining the figure
    was 96, that’s right, 96 percent. Meanwhile, alternative energy went
    56 percent for Democrats.

    "And Old Energy is engaged in a systematic effort to blacken the
    image of renewable energy, one that closely resembles the way it has
    supported 'experts' willing to help create a cloud of doubt about
    climate science. An example: Earlier this year Newsweek published an
    op-ed article purporting to show that the true cost of wind power
    was much higher than it seems. But it turned out that the article
    contained major factual errors, and its author had failed to
    disclose that he was the Charles W. Koch professor at Utah State,
    and a fellow of a Koch- and ExxonMobil-backed think tank.

    "It’s unlikely, I guess, that energy policy will play as big a role
    as other issues, such as tax policy, in the 2016 election. But to
    the extent it does, you need to know what’s really at stake.

    "While politicians on the right may talk about encouraging
    innovation and promoting an energy revolution, they’re actually
    defenders of the energy status quo, part of a movement trying to
    block anything that might disrupt the reign of fossil fuels."
