Photos*: Temporary lake forms in Death Valley National Park*, people 
come to play
Heavy rains led to a temporary lake forming in the normally bone-dry 
park in California. Nature lovers have been taking advantage of the rare 
event.
These are spooky beautiful - cover shot is the best... people look so 
creepy.

*Hurricanes, AMOC, and Wind Maps- Oh My!*
American Resiliency
Feb 21, 2024
This intensely nerdy video is here to answer your top recent questions 
about hurricane outlooks and AMOC modeling.  We start with some info on 
the near-term hurricane outlook.  If you want to get straight to the 
AMOC paper- big thanks to DJ Jablonsky for finding this gem- jump about 
4 minutes in.  This gives us a LOT more details about what is modeled to 
happen in the first 10 years after AMOC turns off, both regionally in 
the US and around the globe.

/[ Investigative journalist - Atlas Network ]/
*Climate Corruption | Amy Westervelt*
Planet: Critical
Feb 21, 2024
Truth is stranger than fiction—but fiction is better written.

We know their playbooks and their networks, but the bad guys of this 
story are in no rush to change their tactics. From funding dodgy 
research to bleating lies on prime time television, the fossil fuel 
industry and its allies are audaciously villainous. They’d been getting 
away with it for decades—but now independent media has them running scared.

Amy Westervelt is an award-winning investigative climate journalist and 
media founder with 20 years on the climate beat. Her investigations have 
exposed the worst crimes of the fossil fuel industry, and she now leads 
an international team of climate reporters at Drilled who uncover the 
connections between governments, industry and policy.

She joins me today to discuss their recent exposé of The Atlas Network, 
the shadowy ecosystem of think tanks pushing for the criminalisation of 
climate activists all around the world. Amy explains the roots of the 
network’s beginnings in World War Two, its rapid expansion as 
neoliberalism sunk its teeth into global politics, and its vast grip 
today on policy-makers around the world. This is a startling 
conversation, revealing the terrifying reach of right-wing extremism and 
corporate capture, with Amy suggesting the only path forward may indeed 
be revolutionary.

/[  more info on Atlas Network from Wikipedia ]/
*Atlas Network*
Atlas Network, formerly known as Atlas Economic Research Foundation, is 
a non-governmental 501(c)(3) organization based in the United States 
that provides training, networking, and grants for libertarian, 
free-market, and conservative groups around the world...
- -
Atlas Network has been described as "self-replicating, a think tank that 
creates think tanks."The 2019 and 2020 Global Go To Think Tank Index 
Report ranked Atlas Network as 54th among the "Top Think Tanks in the 
United States."The organization's website says it is not named after Ayn 
Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged, but some published sources say it is. Atlas 
Network has "hundreds of member think tanks across the world, and their 
members produce white papers, meet with politicos, liaise with the 
media, write legislation, and much more," as described by WNYC.

In 1981, Atlas Network helped economist Hernando de Soto found the 
Institute for Liberty and Democracy (ILD) in Peru[11] and invested in 
the Institut Economique de Paris (IEP) in France. In 1983, Fisher helped 
launch the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) in Dallas, 
Texas,[11] and the Jon Thorlaksson Institute in Iceland. That 
organization was replaced by the Icelandic Research Centre for 
Innovation and Economic Growth. Atlas Network grew from 15 think tanks 
in nine countries in the mid-1980s to 457 think tanks in 96 countries as 
of 2020. Atlas Network helped establish the Hong Kong Centre for 
Economic Research in 1987 and the Liberty Institute in New Delhi in 1996.

Atlas Network has been linked to the tobacco industry. A 2017 paper in 
the International Journal of Health Planning and Management said that 
Atlas Network "channeled funding from tobacco corporations to think tank 
actors to produce publications supportive of industry positions."[13] 
The University of Bath's Tobacco Control Research Group said the Atlas 
Network "appears to have played a particular role in helping the tobacco 
industry oppose tobacco control measures in Latin America" during the 
1990s. Le Monde identified 17 Atlas Network partners engaged in lobbying 
and advocacy for "tobacco harm reduction," which supports vaping as a 
substitute for smoking. The Guardian calculated that more than a fifth 
of all groups affiliated with Atlas Network worldwide had either opposed 
tobacco controls or taken tobacco donations.

Atlas Network has been linked to oil and gas producers. It collaborated 
with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute of Canada in a push for oil and gas 
development on Indigenous land, according to documents described in The 
Guardian.[8] An article in The New Republic blamed Atlas Network for its 
members' efforts in some countries to demonize and criminalize climate 
protesting, particularly in Germany.

The Intercept, The Guardian, and The New Republic have described Atlas 
Network as having ties to conservative movements, including the 
administration of Donald Trump in the United States, Brexit in the 
United Kingdom, and anti-government protests in Latin 
America.[34][35][16] According to The Guardian, "Atlas took no position 
on Brexit itself, and many of its European partners were opposed, but 
directors of UK groups in the network were prominent in the official 
campaign to take Britain out of the EU." In Brazil, Atlas Network had a 
role in the "Free Brazil" movement in 2014 that led to the rise of Jair 
Bolsonaro, and sponsors the Liberty Forum where policies of Luiz Inácio 
Lula da Silva were opposed.

Atlas Network was linked to an online campaign that used fake accounts 
against the Cuban government during the 2021 Cuban protests, according 
to disinformation expert Julián Macías Tovar. Tovar, cited in The 
Guardian, also said that Atlas Network members' Twitter accounts had 
been involved in bot or troll centre campaigns during the 2019 Bolivian 
political crisis, the 2021 Ecuadorian general election, and the 2021 
Peruvian general election.[37]

*New climate data shows global temperatures continuing to rise sharply | 
DW News*
Feb 20, 2024  #Climatechange #climatedata #globalwarming
For the first time the world was 1.5 degrees warmer compared to 
pre-industrial times. It was actually anticipated that this important 
threshold would only be reached in the next few years or the next 
decade. Recently, scientists expressed "alarm" over the latest findings 
that the so-called AMOC, a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic, is 
about to shift due to rapid ice melt. If it were to fail, Europe would 
see a dramatic drop in temperatures of up to 10 degrees on average. In 
southern hemisphere countries, warming could intensify, and in the 
Amazon region, the rainy and dry seasons could be reversed. Sea levels 
would rise at a speed that would make it impossible for humans to adapt 
in time. Have we already exceeded the key 1.5-degree limit agreed in the 
Paris Climate Accord for good?

*Flogging the Scientists*

As a nonscientist, it's daunting for me to work thru the huge volume of 
information on global climate change.
I've found that the most reliable scientific information comes from 
respected peer reviewed science journals .
But journals have lots of big words, and lots of small print, and very 
few illustrations to make it easy for me.  You can see why climate 
denies don't like them.
But that's where the facts are.
How can you tell a good science journal?
