climate change is having on the jet stream. ..."Our study finds
that the jet stream winds along the flight route between London

they are getting 15 per cent stronger in winter," he
said...."This increase in the jet stream winds is going to have
an impact on people’s flights."...Turbulence is the most common
cause of injury to air passengers – in US alone there are an
estimated 58 injuries annually because of it – and according to
the US Federal Aviation Administration, the number of injuries
doubled between 1982 and 2003 (including adjustments made for
the rise in number of flights). <br>

style="font-weight: normal;">climate change</b>, given the
urgency of the issue and the intransigence of Republicans on
Capitol Hill....R.L. Miller, chair of the California Democratic
Party’s Environmental Caucus and founder of Climate Hawks Vote,
a climate-focused PAC. "That means considering the climate test
in approving all new fossil-fuel infrastructure, choosing an
attorney general who will investigate Exxon and other fossil
fuel companies for failing to disclose their global warming
research in the 1970s, prioritizing renewable energy over
natural gas, and pricing carbon." Miller also recommends a
moratorium on any new fossil fuel projects....None of these
policies will get a hearing from Republicans in Congress, and
they may rankle fossil fuel interests. But they will appeal to
the progressive voters on whom Democratic chances rest in 2018
and 2020, who expect to see bold leadership on these and related
issues. The voters who strongly oppose such initiatives have
mostly already gravitated to the Republican Party. ...In short,
a hypothetical Clinton administration should act as aggressively
as possible on climate change, notwithstanding the prospective
incoming president’s natural instincts toward incrementalism.
The problem’s urgency demands a forceful response;
obstructionist and climate-denying Republicans will almost
certainly not compromise legislatively with Clinton in any case,
and the increasingly leftward tilt of the Democratic electorate
on climate issues suggests that Clinton and her party would reap
significant political rewards down the road.</div>

<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font
size="-1">"This should finally be the wake-up call that
car companies can't ignore global warming," said Doniger,
who helped argue the Vermont case. "Up until now, there's
been a lot of green talk at auto shows. But they are
fighting tooth and nail in the courts to block any real
standards, and today they lost."....A federal judge in
Vermont yesterday rejected an attempt by automakers to
block individual states from adopting their own standards
for limiting greenhouse gas emissions from cars and
trucks.... U.S. District Court in Burlington ruled that
state action to limit greenhouse gas emissions from new
vehicles -- standards that originated in California in
2002 and have since been adopted by Vermont and at least
10 other states -- was not preempted by federal rules on
vehicle fuel economy....The decision follows a Supreme
Court ruling in April that the Environmental Protection
Agency violated the Clean Air Act by declining to regulate
greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. It also comes as
automakers are confronted with growing public demand and
governmental pressure to build more fuel-efficient
vehicles.... This fall, Congress is to take up vehicle
fuel-efficiency legislation that could bring about the
biggest change in fuel-economy laws since the 1970s.</font><br>

The Washington Post editorial page observes: .. "[I]t would
be better to encourage people to buy cleaner cars and cut
out unnecessary trips all at once — in fact, it would be
better to establish a policy that encouraged individuals and
businesses to account for the environmental impacts of
driving, turning on the light switch, buying clothes or
doing anything else that involves fossil fuels. This policy
is a steadily rising carbon tax. A carbon tax would put a
lower ceiling on national gasoline use without more
aggressive regulatory interventions. It would also encourage
every other piece of the economy to green up over time,
starting with those for whom doing so is cheapest. This is
why it is also the least expensive path to lowering the
country’s carbon dioxide emissions."<br>
