international agreements to fight global warming in the coming
months, shoring up his climate change legacy....His landmark
Paris agreement is certain to go down as one of the most
consequential — and controversial — global pacts of Obama’s
presidency. Now, he's also pushing world leaders to agree to cut
down on greenhouse gases from refrigeration and from commercial
aircraft....That would help seal Obama’s legacy of securing
sweeping agreements with world leaders to fight climate change
as part of his second-term global warming agenda.<br>
But the deals to reduce hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and aircraft
emissions also add to Obama’s reputation for making major policy
decisions through unilateral action, and are sparking new anger
from Republican critics.<br>

DiCaprio as he jet-sets from Greenland, to Indonesia, to Miami
and beyond, speaking to world...The film's message can be summed
up in one sentence: the environment is fucked, and we should do
something — anything — about it.....It's a worthy takeaway, but
any viewer in 2016 who isn't already aware of most of the issues
Before the Flood raises is either uninterested in the subject,
or willfully in denial. And if they're in the latter camp, it's
unlikely Before the Flood will change their mind......Before the
Flood's primary flaw: a 30,000-foot approach. Unlike well-honed
environmental documentaries like Gasland and Blackfish that pick
a subject and dig in, Before the Flood offers a smorgasbord of
issues, breezing through subjects like strip mining,
deforestation, rising oceans, tar sands, desertification, coral
reef destruction, vanishing glaciers, and more to paint an
overwhelmingly dire vision.....Am I asking too much of Before
the Flood? Maybe. Ultimately, DiCaprio’s cause is admirable, and
some of the shots were legitimately stunning. DiCaprio comes off
as dilettantish, but well-intentioned. That said, there are
better documentaries out there that cover much of the same
material, in more rigorous, and interesting ways. You’ll just
have to forego the adventures with Leo.</div>

Day 6 "It's happening": Climate change is putting a way of
life at risk on P.E.I.'s Lennox Island</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">For the small First Nations community of
Lennox Island, P.E.I., the changing climate is already putting
their ancestral home at risk...The community is being featured
in "Facing the Change," a special Day 6 series about the impact
climate change is having right now in cities and towns across
the country....Battered by rising seas and increasingly powerful
storm surges, Lennox Island is in danger. The island is composed
mainly of sandstone, and its shoreline is eroding twice as fast
as the rest of Prince Edward Island...In a single generation,
Lennox Island has already lost nearly 1 square kilometre of
land. In another fifty years, with a sea level rise of 3 metres,
half the island could be gone. The community is working hard to
adapt, but the future of their island remains uncertain....We
speak to Adam Fenech, a Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist
and the director of the Climate Research Lab at the University
of Prince Edward Island, who has been working with Lennox Island
First Nation for years....We also hear from Gilbert Sark, a
local elder who worries about cultural artifacts being swept
away by the waves; Lennox Island resident and property manager
Dave Haley, whose own backyard is eroding before his eyes; and
Matilda Ramjattan, Chief of the Lennox Island First Nation, who
is concerned about the threat that extreme storms could have on
her community's infrastructure. Here is <a

on Hains Point, a riverside park area that's already a regular
victim of flooding.....The concept is simple enough, yet quietly
devastating. And compared to some of the other jarringly immense
or poorly considered memorials that crowd D.C., its sylvan
beauty—with no gold leaf or chiseled inscriptions in sight—is
refreshing. Given the pace of climate action in Congress,
though, don’t expect this to be any more than a concept for
quite some time.... “Climate Chronograph,” which has won the
Memorials for the Future Competition put on by the National Park
Service and others, would install a sloped grove of cherry trees
along the Potomac. As the river gets higher, the trees would
drown row by row, creating a tangible timeline of global warming
from sublime blossoms and rotten, leafless boughs....“Climate
Chronograph,” along with proposed memorials from contest
finalists, is on display until October 20 in the John F. Kennedy
Center’s Hall of Nations.</div>

<blockquote><font size="-1">The U.S. Climate Prediction Center said
Thursday it was dropping its La Nina watch and lowered the odds
it will form this year to 35 to 45 percent from 75 percent in
June...La Nina, a weather pattern that can cause flooding in
parts of Asia and colder weather in the U.S. , has set in and
may continue through the winter, the Japan Meteorological Agency
said, a day after the U.S. dropped its watch for the
event....There is 70 percent chance that the event, which also
causes dry weather in Brazil, may continue through the winter
period, the Japanese forecaster said on its website Friday. The
U.S. Climate Prediction Center said Thursday it was dropping its
La Nina watch and lowered the odds it will form this year to 35
to 45 percent from 75 percent in June. The Australian Bureau of
Meteorology says a late and weak La Nina is still
possible....from two years of below average rains caused by El
Nino. While there’s little chance of the event forming this
year, any event is unlikely to affect commodity supplies,
according to Olam International Ltd. Still some investors may be
caught off-guard if the weather event materializes, according to
Naohiro Niimura, partner at Market Risk Advisory Co., a
researcher in Tokyo...“Investors have built up short positions
in grains and oilseeds futures on an</font><br>
<font size="-1">outlook for record U.S. crops,” Niimura said.
“They may be forced to buy back them, sending Chicago prices
surging, if the La Nina phenomenon causes abnormal weather.” </font><br>

Madhouse Effect, a book review</a></font></b><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">Climate scientist Michael Mann has
teamed up with cartoonist Tom Toles to write The Madhouse
Effect: How Climate Change Is Threatening Our Planet, Destroying
Our Politics and Driving Us Crazy. It’s an excellent book,
well-written, authoritative on the science, revealing on the
politics and laced with the wit of many superb cartoons. Buy a
copy for the climate science doubter in your family. They will
be drawn in by the cartoons and may well be unable to resist
dipping in to the text....Michael Mann has previously written
The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front
Lines, about how he was hounded for writing a paper that
featured the striking hockey-stick graph. He also authored Dire
Predictions: Understanding Climate Change with scientist Lee
Kump. At the same time that he turns out first-class books, Mann
is a prolific research scientist and has an active presence on
social media. ....Tom Toles is a Pullitzer -Prize winning
cartoonist who works for the Washington Post. His main focus is
politics, but his cartoons have often featured climate science
and the absurd lengths that many American politicians go to in
avoiding the facing up to the reality of global change...Writing
about scientific subjects like climate change for the
non-specialist is not easy and authors have to walk a fine line.
Many readers expect scientists to be detached about the
implications of their work, but that would make their message
less engaging, less human. The science needs to be explained in
ways that the average person can understand, but
oversimplification can gloss over some of the important
complications. And treatments of the topic can so so easily be
depressing and dull. The Mann/Toles team have succeeded in
bringing their talents together to overcome these problems. The
writing is excellent and the cartoons add a much-needed
satirical perspective.</font><br>
