To put it simply: <b>make climate change the #1 issue when you
get in the voting booth</b>...<br>
The most important part of that is: keep Donald Trump out of the
white house. Period. The second most important part is:<b> get
the senators and congresspersons who are the problem the hell
out of our congress... </b>One way to influence those who are
there, is to be heard. I know of three ways to influence your
elected representatives (besides voting of course):<b> telephone
calls, emails, and handwritten letters. Do all three.
Repeatedly.</b></font><br>

New Disclosures Show Oil Giant Still Funding Climate Science

<font size="-1"><font color="#666666">DeSmogBlog</font> ExxonMobil
and the climate science denial machinery that it has helped to
build over the years are now under more scrutiny than ever before.
... In the latest disclosures, one of the larger single donations
— $325,000 — went to the American Enterprise Institute, an
organisation that has long fought regulations to cut greenhouse
gases while also criticising renewable energy....As United Nations
climate talks opened in Paris in December 2015, the AEI’s energy
and environment “expert” Benjamin Zycher provided his analysis of
the science of climate change...Zycher cherry-picked his way
through various issues — from sea level rise to global
temperatures — each time dismissing, or heavily questioning, the
role of increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere...“In short”, Zycher wrote, “it appears to be the case
that temperatures have been increasing in fits and starts since
the end of the little ice age, and the central issue — whether the
dominant cause is natural or anthropogenic — is unresolved.”</font><br>

in Canadian history, ringing up $3.58 billion in losses, according
to the Insurance Bureau of Canada....The wildfire, which ignited
May 1 in eastern Alberta and was brought under control on July 5,
forced Canada’s largest-ever evacuation. It scorched more than 1.4
million acres and destroyed 2,400 homes and other buildings in and
around Fort McMurray, the hub of Canada’s oil sands
industry....The disaster resulted in more than 27,000 personal
property insurance claims averaging $81,000 each and 5,000
commercial insurance claims averaging $227,000 each. Canada’s
previous costliest natural disaster, the 2013 floods which
inundated Calgary, totaled less than half the insurance claims —
$1.7 billion — of this year’s wildfires, according to the IBC.</div>

color="#999999">In These Times</font> </a> <font size="-2">The
summer of 2016 is barely two weeks old, but this year is already
on track to break high temperature records in the United States.
On June 20, cities across the Southwest and into Nevada reached
all-time triple-digit highs... Last year, the federal
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) received
more than 200 reports of workers hospitalized because of
heat-related illness and at least eight deaths associated with
heat exposure. According to OSHA, since 2003, heat has killed—on
average—more than 30 workers a year. In 2014, 2,630 U.S. workers
suffered from heat illness and 18 died on the job from heat
stroke and related causes.</font></font><font size="-2"><br>
Of these deaths, nine occurred in the workers’ first three days on
the job, four of them on the worker’s first day—and at workplaces
where employers had no way of allowing new workers to acclimatize
to the heat. These numbers have been even worse in the past. In
2011, heat killed 61 U.S. workers and sickened 4,420.... if
workers are going to be exposed to high temperatures, their
employer is supposed to have a heat illness prevention program.
This includes providing workers with water, rest and shade. It
should also allow workers to acclimatize to the heat, and train
workers to monitor for and prevent extreme heat exposure and
illness. </font><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:

to build a system of valves, pumps, and raised roadways to lessen
the impact of flooding. It’s far-reaching, ambitious, and

“impact fees” on developers who build in environmentally sensitive
areas. The idea has never been tried before, says the paper. Next,
the commission will get input from the public and local
businesses. If the plan does move forward, it will be at least a
year before developers start paying up..</div>
