*South Korea presses on with World Scout Jamboree as heat forces many to 
leave early*

South Korea is pressing on with the World Scout Jamboree amid a 
punishing heat wave, rejecting a call from the world scouting body to 
cut the event short.

Hundreds of participants attending the annual event have been treated 
for heat-related issues as South Korea grapples with one of its hottest 
summers in years. South Korea, however, is determined to keep the event 
going as the prime minister promises additional safety measures.

About 40,000 scouts from across the globe — including countries like 
Canada — have come to the Jamboree campsite, which drew criticism for 
lacking protection from the heat even before the event began.

Jamie Mauracher explains why South Korean officials have decided not to 
cancel the event.

David Wallace-Wells is back on the podcast to talk about the extreme 
heat waves, off-the-charts ocean temperatures, massive wildfires, and 
other climate-worsened disasters that have plagued the first seven 
months of 2023. The New York Times columnist and author of the 2019 book 
"The Uninhabitable Earth" returns to The Climate Pod to discuss what has 
happened since he was on the show back in 2021 and what we should expect 
in the near future from a rapidly warming planet. We also discuss how 
climate alarmism has been treated in 2023 and how best to convey 
uncertainty in climate risks.

*New York Activists Descend on the Hamptons to Protest the Super Rich 
Fueling the Climate Crisis*
 From the airport to a golf course, museum gala and private mansions, 
activists confronted the extreme wealth driving global warming, and the 
challenges facing grassroots organizations that stand up to billionaires.
By Keerti Gopal
August 5, 2023

The Hamptons placed second in a recent ranking of the world’s top 
seasonal hotspots for multi-millionaires: the area has 25 year-round 
residents with investable assets of $100 million or more, and hosts more 
than 700 during the peak summer season.

This year’s Hamptons’ actions were a continuation of an NYCC tradition 
that began in 2020, when some NYCC members—mostly low-income Black and 
brown New Yorkers—were unable to buy groceries or pay rent during the 
pandemic, and saw the city’s wealthiest inhabitants flee to their second 
and third homes in places like the Hamptons. They organized a car 
caravan and brought more than 200 protesters to the Hamptons to draw 
attention to the wealth disparity.

Alicé Nascimento, NYCC’s campaigns director, said the Hamptons made this 
divide particularly clear.

“It’s this very dystopian, weird place,” she said. “It’s a kind of 
version of what exists everywhere else, [but] magnified.”...

The airport blockade was only the first of eight actions that weekend 
organized by New York Communities for Change (NYCC), Planet over Profit 
and Sunrise Movement NYC. In addition to shutting down the airport—for 
which Shepherd and 13 other protesters were arrested—the activists 
marched for a wealth tax with leaders from the Shinnecock Indigenous 
nation, crashed an exclusive golf course, stormed a museum gala, 
demonstrated outside the private homes of a Citibank chairman and a 
private equity billionaire and stirred up climate conversations at two 
high-end restaurants.

The racially and socioeconomically diverse coalition of activists sought 
to draw attention to the disproportionate role the ultra-wealthy play in 
filling the atmosphere with greenhouse gasses, advocate for a wealth tax 
to fund climate justice initiatives and pressure top fossil fuel 
beneficiaries to stop funding climate-warming activities. During their 
weekend together, the activists also grappled with what it takes to win 
lasting change in a stubborn world.

Day 9
Talk by William E. Rees: The Enigma of Climate Inaction – On the Human 
Nature of Policy Failure
MC: Alexia Ostrolenk, Ph.D Candidate in Psychiatric Science (UdeM); 
Science Communicator (ComScicon-QC, BrainReach)

Abstract:
H. sapiens is a self-described intelligent species, yet seems committed 
to destroying its own habitat. Human-induced climate change, driven by 
carbon-dioxide and other GHG emissions, is one of several well-known 
threats to global civilization. Nevertheless, 34 climate conferences and 
half a dozen major international agreements in the past 50 years have 
failed to produce even a ripple in the curve of exponentially increasing 
atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Climate change is accelerating. This 
presentation: 1) examines some of the evolutionary, behavioural and 
cognitive impediments to effective corrective action by governments and 
international agencies and; 2) advances some ideological, political and 
organizational changes that must be implemented at all levels of society 
to avoid global climate catastrophe.

Bio:
William E. Rees is a human ecologist, ecological economist, former 
Director and Professor Emeritus of the University of British Columbia’s 
School of Community and Regional Planning. His research focuses on the 
biophysical requirements for sustainable development and on the 
cognitive, behavioural and socio-cultural barriers to change. Best known 
as originator and co-developer (with his Ph.D. students) of ‘ecological 
footprint analysis’, Prof Rees work is widely recognized 
internationally. His awards include a Blue Planet Prize (jointly with 
former student Dr Mathis Wackernagel), the Boulding Prize in Ecological 
Economics, the Herman Daly Award (US Society for Ecological Economics)

*A Republican 2024 Climate Strategy: More Drilling, Less Clean Energy*
Project 2025, a conservative “battle plan” for the next Republican 
president, would stop attempts to cut the pollution that is heating the 
planet and encourage more emissions.
- -
The blueprint throws open the door to drilling inside the pristine 
Arctic wilderness, promises legal protections for energy companies that 
kill birds while extracting oil and gas and declares the federal 
government has an “obligation to develop vast oil and gas and coal 
resources” on America’s public lands.

Notably, it also would restart a quest for something climate denialists 
have long considered their holy grail: reversal of a 2009 scientific 
finding at the Environmental Protection Agency that says carbon dioxide 
emissions are a danger to public health.

Erasing that finding, conservatives have long believed, would 
essentially strip the federal government of the right to regulate 
greenhouse gas emissions from most sources.

In interviews, Mr. Dans and three of the top authors of the report 
agreed that the climate is changing. But they insisted that scientists 
are debating the extent to which human activity is responsible.

On the contrary, the overwhelming majority of climate scientists around 
the world agree that the burning of oil, gas and coal since the 
Industrial Age has led to an increase of the average global temperature 
of 1.2 degrees Celsius, or 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit.

The plan calls on the government to stop trying to make automobiles more 
fuel efficient and to block states from adopting California’s stringent 
automobile pollution standards.

Ms. Furchtgott-Roth said any measures the United States would take to 
cut carbon would be undermined by rising emissions in countries like 
China, currently the planet’s biggest polluter. It would be impossible 
to convince China, to cut its emissions, she said.

Mandy Gunasekara was chief of staff at the E.P.A. during the Trump 
administration and considers herself the force behind Mr. Trump’s 
decision to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris climate 
accord. She led the section outlining plans for that agency, and said 
that regarding whether carbon emissions pose a danger to human health 
“there’s a misconception that any of the science is a settled issue.”
