Browner and Heather Zichal.....Along with climate change, the
campaign is also expected to make a major general election
theme out of environmental justice, which focuses on the way
environmental problems such as dirty air and water
disproportionately affect poor and minority communities.
Campaign officials have been consulting with prominent figures
in the environmental justice movement, including South
Carolina state Rep. Harold Mitchell.....The Clinton campaign's
policy bench starts at the very top with Chairman John
Podesta, who was a leading architect of Obama's second-term
climate strategy and remains involved in developing the
campaign's climate and energy agenda. Podesta is also leading
a separate effort aimed at planning for Clinton's transition
that could draw from the energy and climate policy
recommendations. Politico.</font></span><br>

Just one week before Republican state attorneys general asked
federal courts to reject the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, which
requires states to regulate emissions from electricity
generation, they met privately — for a handsome fee — with
energy companies Murray Energy and Southern Company, which are
also suing to halt the plan’s implementation....The timing of
the secret meetings and financial contributions reveal what
appears to be a well-coordinated effort to hobble the Obama
administration’s climate policy agenda... "I think the thing
that is most troubling is it’s not just the fact that they’re
holding these private meetings. It’s not just the fact that
Murray Energy wants to influence the actions of an attorney
general," says Surgey of CMD. "It’s that those corporations
are paying into a fund that is helping to reelect the same
elected officials that they are asking for something
from."...A CMD press release reports that "corporations can
pay a premium rate RAGA membership fee of up to $125,000 for
the privilege of holding private briefings with attorneys
general and their staff, as well as attending the annual
meeting." </font></span><br>

climate change – <b>"</b>he great derangement<b>"</b> of the

terrifying....But does it really make a difference if authors
write about climate change? <b>"</b>Making a difference isn’t
the point; the point is to examine the meaning of the arts. If
we believe that the arts are meant to look ahead, open doors,
then how is this huge issue of our time, absent from the arts?
It’s like death, no one wants to talk about it,<b>"</b> Ghosh
said.<b>"</b>In 2003, the European heatwave caused 46,000
deaths,<b>"</b> he muses. <b>"</b>When the power goes out in

possible the middle class will be the most affected, and the

<blockquote> <font size="-1">The oceans have been shielding us from
the worst effects of climate change, according to "Explaining
ocean warming: causes, scale, effects and consequences" (pdf),
by absorbing 93 percent of the excess CO2 that human industrial
activity has emitted into the atmosphere—and humans have
produced so much CO2 that without the oceans, surface
temperatures worldwide would have risen by 36° Celsius since the
1970s....Instead, thanks to the oceans' capacity to absorb so
much CO2, global temperatures have only risen about 0.5° since
the 1970s, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)...."Without this oceanic buffer, global
temperature rises would have gone much, much speedier," Andersen
said....However, the massive amount of CO2 absorbed by the
oceans has sent the water temperatures soaring, the report
finds, rapidly depleting the biodiversity of marine and coastal
species—from microbes to whales—and changing weather patterns
worldwide....Oceans protected us from worst effects of climate
change by absorbing most of humans' CO2 emissions, report finds,
but they can't take anymore—and will soon release that CO2 back
into the air..</font> <br>

Donations and Ties to American Geophysical Union Are Larger and

</em>
<blockquote><em> <font size="-1">InsideClimate News,</font></em><font
size="-1"> The board of the American Geophysical Union (AGU)
sparked a protest among member scientists when it announced last
month that it would keep accepting money from ExxonMobil amid
new revelations the oil giant misled the public on climate
science. At issue was the company's sponsorship of a $35,000
student breakfast at its annual conference...What AGU president
Margaret Leinen did not discuss when announcing the decision was
Exxon's other, longtime financial support and close ties to the
world's largest organization of earth scientists....ExxonMobil
Exploration is recognized by AGU as a top donor, and some of
that money was raised by two longstanding AGU members who are
Exxon employees: Carlos Dengo, a former company vice president
and a member of AGU's board of directors, and Exxon scientist
Pinar Yilmaz. <a
