notably a carbon tax and a ban on “fracking” as a means of fossil
fuel extraction. ...But behind the clash is also a trend of rising
concern. Climate change has never been more prominent as a
political issue – about two-thirds of Americans say they care a
“great deal” or a “fair amount” about climate change, the highest
percentage since 2008. And, in contrast with Republicans, more
than 80 percent of Democrats – Clinton voters included – are
concerned about climate change...The question for Democrats is not
whether to ramp up the effort on climate policy, but how and how
rapidly.<br>

your life you wish the presidential candidates were discussing
more”. Resoundingly, the largest group of participants pointed
to climate change....Of the 1,385 who responded to the call-out
– from all 50 states – one in five expressed discontent at the
relative silence from candidates around a subject that they
believed to be of supreme and epochal importance. They noted
that much of the Republican debate has either focused on blatant
denial that climate change even exists ...Many of the
respondents vented despair at a political system that in their
view allowed a matter of such overwhelming significance to be so
overlooked. “The fact that no one is really talking about
climate change, to me, is indicative of just how lost we are,”
said Linda Hayden, 51, from Oregon. “Our house is on fire and we

burned and the length of the annual fire season. There is not one
single cause for this, but a big contributor is temperature. Most
of the region’s large fires are happening in warmer years that
result in earlier spring runoff...“The conclusion of our work is
very direct, warming temperatures are drying out western forests
and warmer and earlier springs are lengthening the fire season and
the consequence of these factors is that there are more
opportunities for large severe fires,” said Anthony LeRoy
Westerling, associate professor of environmental engineering at
the University of California, Merced. “As a result, fire activity
is increasing.”...Their most current research, published in March,
uses data up to 2012 and found that since the window between 1973
and 1982, the number of large fires in the west has increased more
than 500 percent across the region and the area burned has
increased more than 1,200 percent. But certain areas have seen a
much larger uptick – the area burned in the northern Rockies is up
3,000 percent and in the Northwest, 5,000 percent...<br>
Their research also found that fire season now runs 220 days, an
increase of 84 days in recent decades.</div>

two major forces behind Florida’s water woes: Pollution from
agriculture and climate change....“It’s a complex and painful
thing to talk about and it’s a very difficult thing to deal with
because it doesn’t have one singular cause and it doesn’t have
one singular project that solves it all,” Rubio said in a
statement, urging the lake’s managers to stop releasing water
into the estuaries just north of West Palm Beach....Climate

landowner Michael Bishop continues to challenge TransCanada’s
right to build the southern route of the Keystone XL pipeline,
renamed the Gulf Coast pipeline when the project was divided into
segments. Meanwhile, TransCanada is suing the United States for
not being granted the presidential permit needed in order to build
the Keystone XL's northern route. A win for Bishop in his suit
against TransCanada Keystone Pipeline L.P. in Nacogdoches County
District Court could complicate TransCanada’s North American Free

COURT REVERSES PROTECTION FOR CLIMATE SCIENTISTS</a></b></font><br>
<font size="-1"><font color="#666666">Climate Law Blog </font> On
June 14, an Arizona trial court ruled that the University of
Arizona must turn over more than a decade of university climate
scientists’ emails to the Energy & Environment Legal Institute
(“E&E”), a group that, in its own words, “pepper[s]
universities around the country” with open records requests as
part of a mission of “free market environmentalism.” This June
2016 decision is a complete reversal from a March 2015 decision by
the same judge, as well as a serious departure from other court
cases across the country protecting scientists’ research
correspondence....E&E – formerly named the American Tradition
Institute (“ATI”) – has repeatedly used open records laws in
attempts to obtain years of publicly funded scientists’
correspondence. The group’s work has been described as “filing
nuisance suits to disrupt important academic research” as part of
its work to convince “the public to believe human-caused global
warming is a scientific fraud.” The group has been linked to the
coal and oil industries, “major conservative players,” and
“organizations opposing action on climate change.”</font><b
