in public housing first....As global warming causes more extreme
weather and sea-level rise, coastal communities around the U.S.
are starting to think about whether, and how, to help people
move away from the water. But one group of Americans is already
being displaced by climate change -- not through innovative
urban and land-use planning, but official indifference.....Yet
her agency, which in January awarded $1 billion to states and
cities for protecting homes and infrastructure against climate
change, including relocating a town in Louisiana, has neither a
plan for safeguarding the country's stock of public housing from
that threat, nor the funding to carry out such a plan. It has
yet to even compile a list of which properties are at
risk....The best-known example is New Orleans, whose housing
authority demolished four buildings after Hurricane Katrina. The
4,534 apartments lost were replaced by just 706 units; many of
the former residents were instead given vouchers to rent private
apartments, sometimes far from their old homes.</div>

who cares about the future of this planet. Its message? The
climate movement's political organizing strategies have failed
to influence the conversation. Three facets of the election
season expose the climate movement’s profound lack of political
muscle. ... The climate movement can pressure Clinton in a way
that is impossible with Trump. As Bill McKibben says: "Our job
is to elect someone we can effectively pressure." The climate
movement has already shown that it can influence Presidential
politics. The climate movement successfully pushed Obama to
reject the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines and pressured
Clinton to make statements during her campaign on Keystone XL,
the TPP, and related issues. "We have seen that, when we apply
pressure, we have leverage over Clinton," writes Becca Rast, an
organizer with 350 Action....A new report from Oil Change
International concludes that to avert complete climate
catastrophe, the world must immediately cease all fossil fuel
extraction and transition to renewable energy by 2033. There’s
no wiggle room—no space for Clinton to reject one pipeline and
approve more offshore drilling. The climate movement has yet to
build the political power than can achieve these kinds of goals.
If we want Clinton to keep fossil fuels in the ground, we need
fresh, creative, influential tactics that can truly hold elected
leaders accountable to people and planet.<br>

Desert</a></b><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">Reduce rainfall isn’t the only factor
influencing drought and desertification. So too is plain old
heat; rising temperature increases evaporation and dries out the
land, making droughts which come to pass more severe. When the
two factors combine, less water coming in and more evaporating
away, desert can replace what was once green.... Not only has
the land area around the Mediterranean been warming along with
the rest of the globe, recently it has been warming faster than
average....A new paper in Science bears the innocuous title "<a>Climate
change: The 2015 Paris Agreement thresholds and Mediterranean
basin ecosystems</a>" [Guiot & Cramer, Science, 354(6311),
465-468, DOI:10.1126/science.aah5015], but comes to the
disturbing conclusion that if the world exceeds the 1.5°C
threshold, much of the Mediterranean region will not be able to
sustain the ecosystem in which it has thrived for 10,000 years.
In particular, it may suffer from reduced rainfall and see
now-fertile land turn into extensive desert....</font><br>

We Don’t Need a ‘War’ on Climate Change, We Need a Revolution</a><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">This year is on track to become the
hottest ever recorded, and a growing number of environmentalists
are using a particular type of language in response. Some are
calling for a huge "mobilization" to "combat" climate change. In
an article in the New Republic in August, Bill McKibben, the
unofficial spokesperson of the climate movement in the United
States, insisted in very literal terms that, we are at war with
climate change.... In the United States, we are familiar with
war metaphors; and they are often politically useful. We have
been through wars on poverty, drugs, cancer and even Christmas.
In these cases, metaphors are understood as metaphors, but when
McKibben points to territory ceded, space invaded, cultural loss
and human suffering, he intends to be taken at face value: "It’s
not that global warming is like a world war," he writes. "It is
a world war.".... ....In this light, Exxon and its climate
science obfuscation is not so much an enemy as a paradigmatic
symptom of the worst kinds of behavior generated by
profit-driven systems. The enemy is the violence perpetrated by
racial, gendered, political, juridical and existing economic
metabolisms with nature. Their exploitative organizations would
remain unconcerned with climate justice even if the nation were
mobilized to mass produce solar panels and wind turbines. In
other words, Climate change demands not only a race to develop
and deploy new energy technologies, but a revolution to
democratize all forms of power — fossil fuels, wind, solar, but
most important, economic and political power.</font><br>

mobilize like we did in WWII.</font><br>
