        deal to limit the use of greenhouse gases far more powerful than
        carbon dioxide in a major effort to fight climate change...The
        talks on hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, have been called the first
        test of global will since the historic Paris Agreement to cut
        carbon emissions was reached last year. HFCs are described as
        the world's fastest-growing climate pollutant and are used in
        air conditioners and refrigerators...The agreement announced
        Saturday morning, after all-night negotiations, caps and reduces
        the use of HFCs in a gradual process beginning in 2019 with
        action by developed countries including the United States. More
        than 100 developing countries, including China, will start
        taking action in 2024...A small group of countries including
        India and some Gulf states secured a later start in 2029, saying
        their economies need more time to grow...</font><br>

          new study</a> has just appeared in the <a
          href="http://journals.ametsoc.org/toc/clim/current">Journal of
          Climate</a> which deals with an issue commonly raised by those
        who deny that human-caused climate change is a serious risk. As
        I have written many times, we know humans are causing the
        Earth's climate to change. We know this for many
        reasons....First, we know that certain gases trap heat; this
        fact is indisputable. Second, we know that humans have
        significantly increased the amount of heat-trapping gases in the
        atmosphere. Again, this is indisputable. Third, we know the
        Earth is warming (again indisputable). We know the Earth warms
        because we are actually measuring the warming rate in multiple
        different ways. Those measurements are in good agreement with
        each other....Of course there is other evidence too. For
        instance, ice loss across the globe is widespread: in the
        Arctic, the Antarctic ice shelves, Greenland, and from land
        glaciers. Sea levels are rising as warm water expands in volume
        and as melt waters flow into the ocean. We are also seeing
        changes of weather patterns and climatic zones shift. The point
        is, there is a whole body of evidence that proves the climate is
        changing and the change is caused largely by human emissions of
        greenhouse gases<br>

          href="http://www.jeremybrecher.org/">here</a>... as Bill
        McKibben has said, "Fighting one pipeline at a time, the
        industry will eventually prevail."[1] Is there a plausible
        strategy for escalating today's campaigns against fossil fuel
        infrastructure to create an effective challenge to the
        escalating climate threat? How can we get the power we need to
        counter climate catastrophe? My book Climate Insurgency: A
        Strategy for Survival (download) grapples with that question and
        proposes a possible strategy: a global nonviolent constitutional
        insurgency. Now that strategy is being tried – and may even be
        overcoming some of the obstacles that have foiled climate
        protection heretofore. ...A constitutional insurgency declares a
        set of laws and policies themselves illegal but does so on the
        basis of existing constitutional principles. Such an insurgency,
        as described by legal historian James Gray Pope, "goes outside
        the formally recognized channels of representative politics to
        exercise direct popular power, for example through extralegal
        assemblies, mass protests, strikes, and boycotts."[3] It is not
        formally a revolutionary movement because it does not challenge
        the legitimacy of the fundamental law; rather, it asserts that
        current officials are in violation of the very laws that they
        themselves claim provide the justification for their authority.
        ...world's people have a right and a duty to protect the climate
        – and that no government can legitimately stop them. The U.S.
        organizers of Break Free From Fossil Fuels issued this "Public
        Trust Proclamation":<br>
        We Are Here to Defend the Climate, the Constitution, and the
        Public Trust<br>
        We are here to help our community, our country, and the world
        Break Free From Fossil Fuels.<br>
        While we may risk arrest, we commit no
crime.....http://www.commondreams.org/views/2016/10/14/climate-emergency-global-insurgency</font><br>

          Courage to Embrace Radical Choices in the Face of the Climate
          and Food Crisis</a></b></font><br>
    <blockquote><font size="-1">The theme for this year's World Food Day
        is "Climate is changing. Food and agriculture must too."
        ....First, we must decrease agriculture's contribution to the
        climate problem. Roughly 13% of global emissions come directly
        from agricultural production, in particular through industrial
        meat production and consumption and the production and use of
        synthetic mineral nitrogen fertilizers....Beef and dairy are
        particularly problematic. Scientists have estimated that if we
        reduce meat consumption in the global North to the world's
        average—about 35 kg/year/person—we could cut in half the
        greenhouse emissions coming from the livestock sector....If we
        switch from synthetic nitrogen sources—which require very high
        temperatures as well as natural gas as feedstock in their
        production, which alone contributes 1% of total global emissions
        annually—to organic sources of nitrogen fertilizer, we can
        further dramatically reduce emissions from the agriculture
        sector....The other essential strategy is to build resilience in
        our farming systems. One way to do this is by paying attention
        to the health of our soils. By deliberately building soils with
        natural fertility-enhancing technologies—including manure,
        compost, and cover cropping—we can increase their fertility at
        the same time we increase their water-holding capacity. Soils
        can withstand longer dry periods and can absorb more rainwater
        in extreme precipitation events. For example farmers in Zambia,
        working with the Kasisi Agricultural Training Center, were able
        to increase their yields and soil moisture using agroecological
        practices, which led to an overall increase in household food
        security....Another essential element of a resilience-building
        strategy is seed and crop diversity. By increasing the diversity
        in their fields, farmers create a buffer against variable
        weather and the changing climate. One year might be drier and
        the next wetter. Growing a range of crops, and different
        varieties of their staple crops, helps them continue to produce
        food even as conditions change. But to keep pace with changing
        climates, farmers not only need seeds, they need knowledge of
        successful climate adaptation practices, and networks to share
        knowledge and seeds. The Farmer-Scientist Partnership for
        Development—MASIPAG in its Philippine acronym —is a shining
        example of such a network: joining tens of thousands of farmers
        across the Philippines, working together with scientists, to
        share both knowledge and seeds better adapted to changing
        climatic conditions.</font><br>
