She used her acceptance speech to make the following point: <b>"I
believe in science. I believe that climate change is real and
that we can save our planet while creating millions of
good-paying clean energy jobs."</b>...The contrast with Donald
Trump, her Republican rival, could not be more stark. To highlight
just how different their respective positions are on energy and
climate change, <a

Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) today called
for measures to reduce mortality from this natural hazard....The
warning came days after the World Meteorological Organization
(WMO) announced that global temperatures for the first six months
of this year reached new highs, setting 2016 on track to be the
hottest-ever on record, and the temperature hit 54 degrees Celsius
in Kuwait last week....“Millions of people around the world should
be receiving heat-related warnings and advisories if we are to
avoid a repeat of the thousands of deaths which occurred last year
from heatwaves notably in Asia and Europe,” said Robert Glasser,
the UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for Disaster
Risk Reduction....From 2005 to 2014, an average of 25 major
heatwaves were recorded each year resulting in an annual average
death toll of 7,232. In 2015, the hottest year on record, there
were 3,275 reported deaths from heatwaves in France, 2,248 in
India, and 1,229 in Pakistan.<br>

...researchers at the Potsdam Institute titled, Armed-conflict
risks enhanced by climate-related disasters in ethnically
fractionalized countries. This is the latest in a growing body
of research looking at the links between climate change and
conflict. ... The authors...find evidence in global datasets
that risk of armed-conflict outbreak is enhanced by
climate-related disaster occurrence in ethnically fractionalized
countries. Although we find no indications that environmental
disasters directly trigger armed conflicts, our results imply
that disasters might act as a threat multiplier in several of
the world’s most conflict-prone regions....Coverage of this
study focused on the increased evidence that climate-related
disasters and conflict are linked, particularly in ethnically
fractionalized societies, and that violence may be more likely
as climate impacts continue to accelerate.</font><br>

think the world is getting warmer and that humans are at least
in part responsible. Almost every country in the world has
pledged to make efforts to stabilise greenhouse gas
concentrations in the atmosphere in order to prevent dangerous
"interference with the climate system". But exactly how to do
this raises interesting questions about fairness....One
brilliantly innovative way to deal with<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight:

is carbon trading. Here, broadly, is the idea. Countries (or
states, or companies), are given an allowance to emit a certain
amount of the gases that cause<span

...These three issues hardly exhaust the philosophy of climate
change and the environment. There are all sorts of other issues.
We might ask ourselves whether, as individuals, we have any
responsibility for the future, since the impact any one of us
can have is negligible. We might wonder whether our obligation
to people yet unborn is less important than our obligation to
those already alive.<br>

update their predictions for the September minimum sea ice extent.
What started as an informal operation in 2008 has grown into an
important tool for the research community...The Sea Ice Prediction
Network (SIPN) was launched in 2008, releasing its first report on
June 10 of that year. Then, as now, the predictions spanned a
large range, some lower than the September 2007 minimum, some
higher. But no one suggested the September sea ice extent would
return to the 7 million square kilometers (2.7 million square
miles) it maintained between 1978 and 2000...Scientists studying
the age of the Arctic sea ice have found that it has become
younger and thinner since the 1970s. In March, the NSIDC reported
that 70 percent of the sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean had been
formed in the past year and 30 percent consisted of multiyear ice.
In the mid-1980s, most of the ice was at least two years old.</div>

fall 30% from the 2005 levels of 749 megatonnes. To get there, the
country expects its businesses to play an important role in a new
plan...Carbon prices vary considerably around the world, from less
than $1 per tonne of emissions in countries such as Mexico to $130
per tonne in Sweden, with 85% of countries pricing carbon at below
$10. Thurber believes Canada will set the price at around $15 per
tonne....“It’s been pretty well established that that’s a level
that drives some abatement activities but the economic impact is
fairly minor,” he said. “It’s big enough to be meaningful but it’s
not going to cripple them in the slightest.”<br>

Oil industry supporters are getting ever more creative with
their memes</a></b></font><br>
<font size="-1">A Canadian advocate for oil sands recently learned
just how fickle the internet can be...Robbie Picard, a former
Alberta oil sands worker, posted a homemade meme to the Canada Oil
Sands Community Facebook page this week. It showed two women
kissing, and read: In Canada lesbians are considered hot! In
Saudi Arabia if you’re a lesbian you die! Why are we getting our
oil from countries that don’t think lesbians are hot?! Choose
equality! Choose Canadian oil!</font><br>
