class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight:
normal;">climate change</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>was
decided earlier this month by a federal appeals court in
Chicago....It all comes down to a new phrase: the Social Cost of
Carbon.... By law, government agencies—in this case, the
Department of Energy—are often required to show that the
benefits of a proposed regulation exceed the costs....But what
about climate change? The costs of a particular regulation—in
this case, covering refrigerators—are sometimes easy to assess.
But how do you capture the “benefits” of preventing cataclysmic
climate change?...Beginning in 2010, a group of economists and
scientists set about answering that question. They tried to
calculate the likely future costs of shifting climate zones,
agricultural disruptions, more extreme events like Superstorm
Sandy, more outbreaks of disease, and the many other effects of
climate change....The result is the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC),
which, long story short, was calculated to be $36 per ton. That
figure, while admittedly an approximation, is the best estimate
that the government has put forward so far...<br>

Toughest Question in Climate Change: Who Gets Saved?</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="-2"> .</font><font
face="arial,sans-serif" size="-2">.. two towns at opposite ends
of the country entered a new kind of contest run by the federal
government. At stake was their survival: Each is being consumed
by the rising ocean, and winning money from Washington would
mean the chance to move to higher ground....The contest, called
the National Disaster Resilience Competition, was the first
large-scale federal effort to highlight and support local
solutions for coping with climate change. It wound up
demonstrating something decidedly less upbeat: The federal
government is still struggling to figure out which communities
should be moved, and when, and how to pay for it. ...answering
those questions is shifting from hypothetical to urgent.
..Figuring out who most deserves money to move will only get
more contentious as more places raise their hand. If cutting
emissions seems like a political nightmare, just
wait....Geologists warning of erosion had recommended relocating
the town as far back as 1984. Newtok has received seven disaster
declarations, according to local officials. The Government
Accountability Office determined the town to be “in imminent
danger." And that was 13 years ago....The inane bureaucracy of
funding climate adaptation may not seem like a big deal when the
towns competing for money are places few people have ever heard
of. But once sea levels rise another foot, the federal
government may have to choose between funding the relocation of
entire neighborhoods in Galveston, Texas; Hilton Head, South
Carolina; Savannah, Georgia; and even Miami. Two feet, and
swaths of Boston and Charleston, South Carolina, could be
underwater. According to an official with the U.S. National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, sea levels could rise
nine feet by 2050....There will almost certainly not be enough
money to dyke, pump out or elevate every community that needs
it. Nor will there be enough to provide every community the kind
of thoughtful, orderly and expensive relocation that HUD has
promised Isle de Jean Charles. The federal government will need
to choose. .... there’s no response to climate change that can
possibly make everybody happy; we’ve waited too long to cut
emissions, and many more Americans will be forced from their
homes. </font><font face="Arial"><br>

to the Age of Anthropocene: </strong></a></font><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">The Earth has entered a new geological
epoch “defined by human impact,” an expert group of scientists
said in a presentation to the International Geological Congress.
The group proposed that the Anthropocene epoch began sometime in

dioxide, plastic pollution, nuclear tests and widespread
deforestation. The recommendation needs more specific geologic
data to be submitted to “stratigraphic authorities” for official
approval. (<strong>News: </strong><a
