the climate-change outlook – one of the world's three required
paradigm shifts... a much more positive prognosis based on the
rapid advances being made in the development of renewable-energy
resources and of energy storage....A few prescient analysts,
Jeremy Leggett for one, have long argued that this element of
human futures is much brighter than appreciated. It is a view
backed up by a series of technological developments. Many of these
are covered in Chris Goodall’s new book The Switch (Profile Books,
2016), which examines the potential for solar power and the
beginnings of a revolution in energy storage. The Switch – worth a
few hours of anyone’s time – focuses especially on recent and
current improvements in efficiency, and consequent substantial
decreases in costs.<br>

central theme at the current games—and for good reason. A sobering
new study shows that by the 2084 Olympics, rising temperatures
will make it practically impossible for most cities to host the
summer ...In a new commentary published in The Lancet, a team led
by Berkeley researchers Kirk Smith and John Balmes warn that the
future of the summer Olympics is in jeopardy. Seventy years from
now, only eight Northern Hemisphere cities outside of Europe will
be cool enough to host the games, with only three cities in North
America capable of serving as hosts....Using this criteria, the
researchers were able to identify only eight out of 543 cities
outside of western Europe that would qualify as "low risk" sites,
including St. Petersburg in Russia, Riga in Latvia, Bishkek in
Kyrgyzstan, and Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. Shockingly, only three
North American cities made the cut, namely San Francisco,
Vancouver, and Calgary. Western Europe provided the greatest
number of "low risk" cities at 25. Latin America and Africa failed
to produce a single viable city.</div>

<font size="-1">The Lancet - Climate change threatens human health
in many ways, through heat waves, extreme weather events, and
shifts in disease vectors, as well as economic and social stresses
on populations living in or trying to escape areas affected by
seawater intrusion, drought, lower agricultural productivity, and
floods.1 In the short term, most of these impacts could be
substantially ameliorated by actions to reduce background disease
risks and other known causes of vulnerability. The world beyond
2050 poses increasingly difficult challenges, not only because of
the inherent uncertainties in long-term predictions, but because
the extent and speed of change might exceed society's ability to
adapt. (This article is available free of charge.)</font><br>

‘Years of Living Dangerously' Season Expands Reach on (Murdoch
owned) NatGeo</a></b></font><br>
<font size="-1">National Geographic Channel will premiere Season 2
of the critically-acclaimed TV series, "Years of Living
Dangerously" Sunday, October 30 at 8 pm (ET)....The focus of
Episode 1, with correspondents David Letterman (!) and Cecily
Strong (of "Saturday Night Live"), is solar energy — in India and
the United States. Later episodes feature Jack Black, Gisele
Bündchen, Ty Burrell, James Cameron, Don Cheadle, America Ferrera,
Thomas Friedman, Joshua Jackson, Aasif Mandvi, Nikki Reed, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Ian Somerhalder, Sigourney Weaver and Bradley
Whitford.<br>
Three facts elevate this above the typical TV premiere
announcement:<br>
--"Years" is the first documentary series devoted to climate
change ever to appear on a major network or premium cable.<br>
<b>--"New Season Scheduled to Air Just Over a Week Before the
Presidential Election," </b>as the National Geographic Channel
(NGC) release proclaims in its sub-head.<br>
--NGC’s majority owner (73 percent) is 21st Century Fox, part of
Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, which is well known for its climate
disinformation....Personally, I have been extremely impressed with
the fact-checking team at NGC, which is far more informed and
engaged than any fact checkers I have ever worked with (TV or
print). Indeed,<b> I believe Season 2 of "Years of Living
Dangerously" is actually better than Season 1 — even though
Season 1 won the 2014 Emmy for outstanding non-fiction TV
series, and Daily Kos called it "the most important television
series ever."</b> The Guardian named it "the most important
climate change multimedia communication endeavor in history."
Schwarzenegger has said, "This season, I hope to make an even more
powerful statement that<b> will inspire people to lead and demand
change to make our world a better place for future generations."</b></font><br>
