        </a>defying all polls and predictions. Trump, who has been
        critical of international and domestic climate programs
        including the Paris Agreement, did not mention climate change in
        his first speech after being declared the winner. The Paris
        climate deal, which entered into force on November 4, is
        overwhelmingly supported by major businesses, cities and civil
        society groups in the US. Though the outcome has cast a shadow
        over COP22, participants said they are committed to pushing
        climate action forward. Katherine Egland of the NAACP said, “In
        the tradition of an old civil rights rallying song, the climate
        movement is like a tree that's standing by the water -- we shall
        not be moved!”  </font>(<strong>News: </strong><a

      <h3><a
href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sea-levels-will-rise-faster-than-ever/"><b>Sea
            Levels Will Rise Faster Than Ever, Atlantic coast will be
            hardest hit</b></a></h3>
      <blockquote>The Atlantic coast of North America will be one of the
        worst-hit areas as melting glaciers cause the sea level to rise
        over the next century, a new study published yesterday in the
        Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
        finds....However, that rise is not expected to be uniform, as
        gravity and the movement of the ocean will play a role in how
        the water is distributed, and some areas will be hit worse than
        others. New York and other cities along the East Coast could see
        seas rise by more than 3 feet by the end of the century if the
        Earth warms by 4 or 5 degrees beyond preindustrial levels....If
        the rate of carbon emissions continues unabated, the authors
        said, the globe would warm by 2 degrees and cause significant
        sea-level rise by 2040. It would be worse along the East Coast
        of North America and Norway, which are expected to experience a
        sea-level rise of about a foot. The relative speed of the sea's
        rise means many areas won't have time to adapt, researchers
        found. And from there, warming would accelerate even
        faster....It's the full scope of the current glacial loss that
        concerns political leaders and policymakers because it has
        already presented a pressing need to be addressed, he
        said...."This near-term time scale is the time of greatest
        concern to decisionmakers," he said. "Research that reaches out
        to 2100 and beyond is scientifically exciting, but really of
        secondary importance to the people who are trying to make sense
        of the science for decisionmaking."... If warming exceeds 2
        degrees by 2100, as some climate scientists worry it might,
        about 80 percent of the global coastline could experience a rise
        in sea levels of 6 feet. Such a rapid rise in sea levels is
        unprecedented since the dawn of the Bronze Age about 5,000 years
        ago, according to the study.<br>

        health benefits that would arise as a result of the changes to
        consumption habits that such a tax would encourage....Prices for
        the most greenhouse gas (GHG) intensive foods (beef, lamb, dairy
        products, vegetable oils) would increase by between 15% and 40%,
        and global consumption would fall by between 6% and 13%. The tax
        would raise the price of fruits and vegetables by less than 3%,
        not significantly affecting consumption. ... As a result, the
        researchers estimated that global GHG emissions would fall by
        one gigatonne of CO2 equivalent per year, or 9.3% of current
        emissions from food production. Put another way, this is equal
        to 10% of the effort needed by 2020 to keep global warming below
        +2°C....Reductions in beef consumption would account for two
        thirds of this emissions cut, and dairy products a further
        quarter. Middle income countries would be responsible for around
        three quarters of the total gains, while changes to consumption
        habits in high income countries would contribute just
        8-9%....For public health, the tax would be a double-edged
        sword. According to the study, it would prevent 107,000 deaths
        per year, notably from cardiovascular disease. But more
        precisely, it would save 146,000 lives in 115 of the 150
        countries analysed, while causing 29,000 extra deaths from
        malnutrition in 31 other countries....For the greatest positive
        effect, the researchers recommended applying the tax to all food
        products, either with an exception for fruits and vegetables,
        which could be reduced in price, or financial compensation for
        consumers in the poorest countries....This scenario could save
        510,000 lives each year without any country being left worse
        off. And it would prevent the emission of 919 megatonnes of CO2

      <font size="-1">The projected rise in food-related greenhouse gas
        emissions could seriously impede efforts to limit global warming
        to acceptable levels. Despite that, food production and
        consumption have long been excluded from climate policies, in
        part due to concerns about the potential impact on food
        security. Using a coupled agriculture and health modelling
        framework, we show that the global climate change mitigation
        potential of emissions pricing of food commodities could be
        substantial, and that levying greenhouse gas taxes on food
        commodities could, if appropriately designed, be a
        health-promoting climate policy in high-income countries, as
        well as in most low- and middle-income countries. Sparing food
        groups known to be beneficial for health from taxation,
        selectively compensating for income losses associated with
        tax-related price increases, and using a portion of tax revenues
        for health promotion are potential policy options that could
        help avert most of the negative health impacts experienced by

        Moody's warns of climate change impact on sovereign ratings</a></b><br>
    <blockquote><font size="-1">(Nov 7)    Countries' creditworthiness
        could be increasingly affected by climate change, with African
        and South Asian sovereigns most susceptible to the economic
        effects of global warming, ratings agency Moody's said on
        Monday...."Climate change is expected to become an increasingly
        dominant factor in our analysis of the credit profiles of those
        sovereigns that are most susceptible to its effects over the
        coming decades," it said in a new report....Climate change has
        ramifications for countries' credit profiles through potential
        economic impact, damage to infrastructure, rising social costs,
        and population shifts, Moody's said....For example, gradual
        desertification in Israel, Lebanon and Jordan caused by global
        warming is leading to land degradation and infertility.
        Authorities in Lebanon, rated B2 negative by Moody's, predict
        the economic damage from climate change could reach more than
        $80 billion by 2040, or 1 1/2 times its current
        GDP....Mozambique, which suffered heavy floods last year and is
        already on the brink of default at a rating of Caa3 , was
        calculated to be the most susceptible of any country Moody's
        rates....Jamaica and Belize, small countries with high debt and
        Caa2 ratings, are seen as the next two most vulnerable, while
        India is also seen as highly at risk from climate change, with
        48 percent of its workforce in the agricultural
        sector....Governments are the first line of defence in
        responding to climate change, Moody's said. It found
        institutional strength was correlated with lower susceptibility
        to climate change....This leaves many emerging markets in a
        double bind of higher susceptibility to climate change combined
        with a weaker capacity to prepare for and mitigate the
