world is racing to stop climate change. But the math still
doesn’t add up</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Washington Post - The entire globe is
moving fast to stop climate change. The Paris climate agreement
enters into legal force on Friday, and then shortly afterwards
comes a first global meeting to start implementing it in
Marrakech, Morocco. ...., because of the unforgiving nature of
carbon math — once you emit a ton of carbon dioxide, you can't
get it back, and it accumulates steadily in the atmosphere —
there is exceedingly little time to change course and increase
ambitions....."It's just too little, and it's not happening
quickly enough," said Jacqueline McGlade, UNEP's chief
scientist. "If we don’t see emissions peaking by 2020, then the
chances of getting to 1.5 degrees is vanishingly small."... this
doesn’t mean there is no hope — it just means that the world has
to do massively more, and it has to do it quickly. Every year,
we bank more carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Every year we
fail to bend the curve sharply downwards, it becomes that much
harder to get on the right course....emissions have to peak and
start to decline by 2020 — just four short years from now — or
else the 1.5 degree target could be gone.</font><br>

power: Dutch dairy industry launches €150m biogas project</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Will a scheme to turn cow manure into
biogas help the Netherlands lose its reputation as the ‘bad guy’
of Europe when it comes to agricultural emissions?....The
process is simple: the dung is broken down by bacteria into
biogas in an anaerobic digester. Other machines then extract
nitrates and phosphates to make fertiliser, leaving organic
matter, which is spread on the Heegs' farm....Masterminded by
FrieslandCampina, the country’s largest dairy collective which
buys milk from 13,500 of the Netherlands' 17,000 dairy farmers,
the project has established an initial target of getting 1,000
large farms across the country to make power from cow manure
within four years....Farmers lease an anaerobic digester and are
given a 12 year fixed price for the biogas they produce,
subsidised by the Dutch government. To date, the economic
affairs department has committed €150m (£135m) to the cow power
programme....<b>"</b>Before, we just spread [dung] on the land.
Now I process it, get energy from it and then fertiliser. This
way, we make everything useful," says 27-year-old Pieter Heeg.
He expects to make €10,000 a year selling excess energy to
Jumpstart, a new cooperative launched by FrieslandCampina to
help farmers through the process of leasing and installing an
anaerobic digester....About 10% of the Netherlands’ greenhouse
gas emissions come from agriculture, mostly methane as a result
of the dairy industry, and the country’s livestock produces 74m
tonnes of manure a year, according to FrieslandCampina.<font

Newsletter October 2016 - If The Oceans Die, We Die</a></b><br>
<font size="-1">Humanity fails to grasp that the ocean ecosystem
is a planetary life support system.....The literal disaster
story is widely known: over-fishing, pollution, heating,
acidification and reef loss, microbeads and vast gyres of
plastic. It is the Anthropocene, writ large and ugly.
President Obama has spoken on the subject, pointing out that
protecting the oceans is essential in the struggle to limit
climate change. He has also acted to create protected areas in
both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. And in the past week
there has been the announcement of the world’s largest marine
park in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Such action can be likened to
re-wilding on land – manageable and perhaps ark-like steps to
preserve and restore areas of health and biodiversity, amidst
destruction. Noah’s Ark is a powerful survival myth which has
undergone hundreds of variations since the Old Testament
story.... <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

President Obama Hints At Dakota Access Possible Reroute,
Tensions Swirl at Standing Rock</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1"> President Barack Obama,...said that the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may consider a reroute of the hotly
contested Dakota Access Pipeline, one which would presumably not
cross sacred Native American sites. The Obama administration is
currently holding consultations with tribes across the US, and
Obama alluded to the fact that the consultation process will
"play out for several more weeks" before the administration
takes action....Obama explained that "right now the Army Corps
is examining whether there are ways we can reroute this
pipeline, so we're going to let it play out for several more
weeks and determine whether or not this can be resolved in a way
that is properly attentive to the tradition of First Americans."
He also commented on First Amendment concerns, calling for
restraint on the part of law enforcement and continued
non-violence for protestors....The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe —
whose land sits along the proposed Dakota Access route along the
Missouri River and Lake Oahe — praised what it described as
Obama's "commitment to protect our sacred lands, our water, and
the water of 17 million others." The Tribe also called for a
full environmental review, as opposed to the previous expedited
permit review it received from the Army Corps.</font><br>

Antarctic Flyover Reveals Melting Continent</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">For the past eight years, NASA's
Operation IceBridge has been tracking how polar ice is
responding to climate change....Scientists studying the data
collected on the thickness and shape of Antarctic snow and ice
believe that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be in irreversible
decline....humanity can seem like an insignificant development
in face of these endless landscapes. The paradox, though, is
that as vast and overwhelming as the Antarctic may be, humans
may be instrumental in the changes affecting it.....NASA aircrew
members work inside the cockpit of an IceBridge DC-8 research
airplane on Oct. 27 while in flight off the coast of
Antarctica....Onboard the plane is a laser altimeter that
records minute changes in the height of the ice surface from one
year to the next. Accompanying the laser are three radars that
analyze the elevation and layer composition of the snow and ice,
as well as the shape of the land underneath.</font><br>

day in Climate History November 4, 1995 </b></a><b> : From
D.R. Tucker -----------------</b></font><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">November 4, 1995: In his weekly radio
address, President Clinton declares:...."Because we believe that
what God created we must not destroy, each of us has a sacred
obligation to pass on a clean planet to future
generations...."For nearly three decades, all Americans have
agreed we must do what we have to protect our environment. And
America is cleaner and healthier because of it...."Since our
environmental laws were put in place, toxic emissions by
factories have been cut in half; lead levels in children's blood
have dropped 70 percent; Lake Erie, for example, once declared
dead, is now teeming with fish...."But all this progress is now
at risk. In the last few months, a small army of lobbyists for
polluters has descended on Capitol Hill, mounting a full-scale
assault on our environmental and public health protections. And
this Congress has actually allowed these lobbyists to sit down
and rewrite important environmental laws to weaken our
safeguards.".....And now they're trying to use the budget bill
to further weaken these protections. It's an incredible fact
that this Republican budget actually singles out the environment
and its protections for extra cuts. This budget will mean
dirtier water, more smog, more illness, and a diminished quality
of life....Here's how. It's plain that there are two ways to
legalize pollution. You can change the laws or just stop
enforcing them by firing the enforcers. The pollution lobby
knows it could never repeal half our environmental protections,
so the Republican budget cuts the resources for environmental
enforcement in half. Quite simply, it just pulls the cop from
the environmental beat....The budget also would cut off money
now going to communities to invest to keep their drinking water
clean. And the cuts mean that toxic waste clean-ups across
America would slow to a crawl....The Republican leadership even
tried to slip 17 special interest provisions into the spending
bill, loopholes that would end enforcement of the Clean Air and
the Clean Water Acts, let more dangerous arsenic into our
drinking water, allow raw sewage on our beaches.
