audio from Diane Rehm Show</a> - Peter you've called the
Diane Rehm Show: "Yes the hacking of the U.S. election by a
hostile foreign power is a monstrous catastrophe -- that I see
the media, and including this conversation -- just furiously
trying to normalize and move off of. Perhaps because they
recognize that they were enthusiastic collaborators and vectors
in this process. And it's even more disturbing that this MO of
hacking, distorting, and weaponizing email is exactly the same
as that deployed against climate scientists in 2009 following a
hack at the University of East Anglia in the UK . We don't know
who did that hack but i know .... because I'm a videographer and
I talked to climate scientists that have known for 10 years that
Russia was a leading suspect in that hack -- because of their
huge interest in fossil fuels. And I just find these twin
developments of the hacking of the U.S. election and the
complete chaos that our climate policy is now in, is absolutely
a catastrophic development and almost completely ignored in the
pressed I'd like to hear an explanation."

in the weeks leading up to it, cybersecurity and foreign-policy
watchers have warned that Russia’s government-sponsored hackers
would be emboldened by the success of the recent string of
intrusions and data dumps, including the hacks of the Democratic
National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee. <br>

the Portrayal of Russian Hackers during Cyber Conflict
Incidents</a> <br>
ATHINA KARATGOZIANNI, University of Hull, UK<br>
Abstract: This article analyses various cyber conflicts and
cyber crime incidents attributed to<br>
Russian hackers, such as the Estonian and Georgian cyber
conflicts and the ‘Climategate<br>
hack’. The article argues that Russian hackers were blamed by
dozens of outlets for the Climategate<br>
hack, because that was consistent with global media coverage of
cyber crime incidents<br>
which portrayed Russians as highly powerful hackers responsible
for many hacking incidents.<br>
This narrative also was congruent with the new Cold War rhetoric
that consistently<br>
takes issue with Russia acting on its geopolitical interests.
These interests are seen to manifest<br>
themselves in Russia’s objection to countries, formerly under
its influence, participating in<br>
the NATO alliance and its seemingly obstructive stance at the
Copenhagen summit on climate<br>
change.

Antarctica begins to destabilize with ‘intense unbalanced
melting’ </a></b> The bottom of the world has drawn
increased scrutiny from scientists over the last few years, as
West Antarctic ice loss in some places shows signs of becoming
“unstoppable.” There’s enough water locked up in West
Antarctica’s Amundsen Sea region alone to raise the global
average sea level by four feet, and it’s the fastest-melting
spot on the continent. The National Science Foundation and a
U.K. counterpart last week announced that they’ll fund up to $25
million in research that will help the scientific community
better understand the timing and mechanics of a critical
glacier, the Thwaites. It’s basically the climate-science
equivalent of an FBI “Most Wanted” poster....A study issued on
Tuesday in Nature Communications measures directly just how
dramatically glaciers are being gnawed at from beneath. The
research focuses on those that empty into a section of the
Amundsen Sea just south of the Thwaites Glacier. A significant
portion of Antarctica is now subject to “intense unbalanced
melting,” the authors write.<br>

soon the most powerful man in the world will be someone who has

has said will head his transition team at the Environmental
Protection Agency is Myron Ebell from the Competitive Enterprise
Institute who says the science is less than certain and is
really one of many pretexts for expanding government...."We
believed that the consensus was phony," Ebell told PBS in an
interview explaining why he and others went to work to try and
dismantle it. "We believed that the so-called global warming
consensus was not based on science, but was a political
consensus, which included a number of scientists."... This is
the person that looks to be tasked with picking the leadership
of the U.S. government agency charged with addressing climate
change....This is probably a good place to start the
conversation I’ve been avoiding for years now. The evidence that
Trump and Ebell are wrong on climate seems overwhelming to me.
There’s literally thousands and thousands of pages of science
and data that show, generally speaking, temperatures and sea
levels are rising as concentrations of gases like CO2 and
methane have also increased. There’s also plenty of science on
related impacts like ocean acidification, shifts in ecosystems
and threats to human populations and property as well. I can go
on and on, but anyone reading this has probably heard it all
before.<br>

organization is financed in part by the coal industry, has been
one of the most vocal opponents of the linchpin of that policy,
the Clean Power Plan. Developed by the Environmental Protection
Agency, the plan is a far-reaching set of regulations that, by
seeking to reduce carbon emissions from electricity generation,
could result in the closing of many coal-burning power plants,
among other effects....Mr. Ebell has said that the plan, which
has been tied up in the courts since it was finalized in 2015,
is illegal. In the interview in Paris last year, he said he
hoped whoever was elected president would "undo the E.P.A. power
plant regs and some of the other regs that are very harmful to

Earth Is The Real Loser Of The US Elections</a></font></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1"><a
href="http://www.desmogblog.com/2016/11/09/planet-earth-real-loser-us-elections">DeSmogBlog
</a>- During the U.S. presidential debates, there was not one
single question devoted to the topic of climate change. And it
appears that the results from the election have only amplified
the silence that Americans seem to have on the subject of the
environment....In a stunning turn of events, US voters elected
conservative businessman Donald Trump as the next President of
the United States. Trump will now become the only world leader
to actively deny that climate change is real, which means that
the environment is about to suffer an enormous blow....And
that’s not speculation — that is exactly what Donald Trump told
Americans just days before the general election....As Think
Progress reported, Trump told supporters on October 26th that he
would end the "wasteful" spending on climate action:</font><br>
<font size="-1"><b>"I will also cancel all wasteful climate change
spending from Obama-Clinton, including all global warming
payments to the United Nations. These steps will save $100
billion over 8 years, and this money will be used to help
rebuild the vital infrastructure, including water systems, in
America’s inner cities."</b></font><br>
<font size="-1">But Donald Trump will not be operating by himself,
and that’s why things are actually scarier than they appear. The
majority of Republicans who will be serving in the House and
Senate when the new Congress convenes in January 2017 deny
climate change, and that means that the Republican Party’s 2016
platform will set the guidelines for what these Republicans
attempt to accomplish now that they will control both the
Legislative and Executive branches of government...Here are a
few items from the Republican Party platform that are likely to
become a reality in the new administration, from <a
href="http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/50-shockingly-extreme-right-wing-proposals-2016-republican-party-platform">Steven
Rosenfeld at Alternet:</a></font><br>
<font size="-1"><b>Start repealing environmental laws:</b>
"...review of federal regulations, especially those dealing with
the environment"</font><br>
<font size="-1"><b>Open America’s shores to more oil and gas
drilling:</b> "...opening of public lands and the outer
continental shelf"</font><br>
<font size="-1"><b>Build the Keystone XL Pipeline:</b> "... We
intend to finish that pipeline and others as part of our
commitment to North American energy security."</font><br>
<font size="-1"><b>Expand fracking and burying nuclear waste:</b>
"...with respect to the long-term storage of nuclear waste."</font><br>
<font size="-1"><b>No tax on carbon products:</b> "We oppose any
carbon tax…"</font><br>
<font size="-1"><b>Ignore global climate change agreements: </b>
"The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
is a political mechanism, not an unbiased scientific
institution. Its unreliability is reflected in its intolerance
toward scientists and others who dissent from its orthodoxy. We
will evaluate its recommendations accordingly. We reject the
agendas of both the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement,
which represent only the personal commitments of their
signatories; no such agreement can be binding upon the United
States until it is submitted to and ratified by the
Senate."...The oil and gas industries gave a staggering $88
million to politicians during the 2016 election cycle, with 88%
of that money going to Republicans....</font><br>
<font size="-1">That investment has paid off tremendously for
fossil fuel interests, and they are poised to get every item on
their anti-environmental, anti-regulatory wishlists checked off
in short order....Meanwhile, the environment is going to take
some massive hits at a time when the evidence of climate change
is right before our eyes.<br>
