Speaker Ryan: your 'forward-looking agenda' ignores
climate change</a></b></font><br>
</h2>
<blockquote><font size="-2">Considering the much-touted centrality
of poverty to Speaker Ryan's thinking, you'd expect "A Better
Way" to acknowledge the economic impacts of a changing
climate. Unfortunately, not only would his agenda make climate
change harder to combat, it would make life more difficult for
many of the minority and low-income communities that climate
change has already harmed....His failure to address climate
change's national security impacts is just as glaring. "A
Better Way" claims to "tackle new threats" of "our time and
beyond," but only mentions climate change by way of
complaining that President Obama has supposedly prioritized it
over "countering radicalization at home." (In fact, he has
rightly focused on both issues.) The Department of Defense now
formally treats climate change as a "threat multiplier," since
erratic precipitation patterns, rising temperatures and
extreme weather events will exacerbate global instability and
increase circumstances that breed terrorism. Speaker Ryan's
agenda simply ignores this....The danger of that approach is
clear for anyone who cares to look. In the Horn of Africa
between 2008 and 2012 – a period of severe drought – more than
144 million people were displaced by sudden onset disasters.
Contrary to Republican orthodoxy, efforts to curb emissions
and bolster U.S. security complement one another. Indeed, they
often rely on each other to succeed.</font><br>

article this week in the journal Nature</a>... the layer of
permafrost typically acts as a barrier against moisture
drainage in the soil. As this permafrost melts, the moisture
drains out, leaving the top layers of the soil drier and
warmer. This warming kick-starts a biochemical process within
organic matter present in the soil that releases carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere. Atmospheric carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases are leading contributors to warming
global temperatures....emission of methane, another greenhouse
gas, is highest in the Arctic during the region<b>'</b>s cold
season. That was surprising, as most scientists thought little
if any greenhouse gases escaped the frozen soil during the
cold season. <a

<blockquote><font size="-1">This thought-provoking film tackles in
startling detail the alarming changes that may face us
all....scientists are warning that the global average
temperature could increase by as much as 6 degrees Celsius
over the next century, which would cause our world to change
radically.... This documentary... take(s) a look at what
effect each rise of 1ºC could have on the world.... what if
the global temperature increased by another degree? ...the
changes would no longer be gradual. Greenland's glaciers and
some of the lower lying islands would start to disappear.
...At 3ºC higher the Arctic would be ice-free all summer, the
Amazon rainforest would begin to dry out and extreme weather
patterns would become the norm. An increase of 4ºC would see
the oceans rise drastically. Then comes the twilight zone of
climate change, if the global temperature rises again by
another degree. ...Part of once temperate regions could become
uninhabitable, while humans fight each other for the world's
remaining resources. The sixth degree is what is called the
doomsday scenario as oceans become marine wastelands, deserts
expand and catastrophic events become more common. ...If we do
nothing to reduce this threat, where will the tipping point be
that may mean we are no longer able to stop global warming? <a
