style="font-weight: normal;">climate change. The alleged
deception resulted in stockholders paying inflated prices for
Exxon stock and subjected them to financial losses because the
company knew the value of its oil reserves was less than what
it was telling investors, according to the lawsuit filed in
Texas federal court earlier this month.<br>
"Exxon has long understood the negative effects of climate
change and global warning and their relation to the worldwide
use of hydrocarbons," according to the lawsuit.<br>
"Exxon understood and appreciated that it was highly likely
that it would not be able to extract all of its hydrocarbon
reserves and that certain of those assets were 'stranded.' Yet
Exxon publicly represented that none of its assets were
'stranded' because the impacts of climate change, if any, were
uncertain and far off in the future."...The SEC also has
reportedly opened an investigation into Exxon to determine
whether the company has been forthcoming with investors about
climate risks and accounting issues concerning its reserves.<br>
Among the cautionary signs that Exxon concealed from investors
was the company's own internal reports from the 1970s
concerning climate change, which recognized the environmental
risks caused by global warming, according to the lawsuit.<br>
"Given the risks associated with global warming and climate
change, the Company would not be able to extract the existing
hydrocarbon reserves Exxon claimed to have," according to the
lawsuit.<br>
As a result, the suit says, a significant portion of Exxon's
reserves should already have been written down; that's a
bookkeeping function that reduces the value of an asset
because it has been overvalued.<br>

<b>102 million dead California trees 'unprecedented in our modern
history,' officials say</b></a><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">The number of dead trees in California’s
drought-stricken forests has risen dramatically to more than 102
million in what officials described as an unparalleled
ecological disaster that heightens the danger of massive
wildfires and damaging erosion....The majority of the dead trees
are in the southern and central Sierra Nevada region, officials
said, though they warned that high mortality levels are also
creeping into forests in Northern California, notably Siskiyou,
Modoc, Plumas and Lassen counties. ..When a lot of dead fuel
remains on the ground, fires burn hotter and damage the soil,
experts said. Whenever rain eventually arrives, the water cannot
filter through the soil as easily, so it moves the top layer,
creating the potential for mudslides and destroying root
systems. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

things, is scary. But if mental health professionals a tip for
coping, it seems to be this: Talk about it. Share your feelings.
And remember that we are all in this together....But talking
about climate change — about the fears and stress that come with
the understanding that mankind is, perhaps irreversibly,
altering the planet — does more than help people feel less
alone. It also helps create stronger bonds to community, which
is something that studies have shown can help people bounce back
quicker when a devastating climate event, like a major flood or
a crippling drought, takes place. <a

Halts Arctic Oil Leases and Undoing It Won't Be Simple for Trump</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">By writing a five-year plan with no
leases for oil drilling in the Alaskan Arctic, President
Obama—and market forces—provide roadblocks for Trump to
change....No new offshore oil and gas leases will be offered in
the Alaskan Arctic through 2022, according to a new five-year
plan for offshore drilling released Friday by the Obama
administration. President-elect Donald Trump could overturn the
ban, but that could take years and may not draw much industry
interest if oil prices stay low... The Interior Department's
five-year plan laid out all of the proposed auctions for
drilling rights on the outer continental shelf of the United
States. It allowed for no leases between 2017 and 2022 in the
Beaufort or Chukchi seas, Arctic waters north and west of
Alaska.

Global warming: where the arc of the moral universe stops</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Since the election, some Americans have
found consolation in the line that Martin Luther King, Jr.
adapted from the 19th-century Unitarian divine Theodore Parker:
“The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward
justice.”</font><br>
<font size="-1">So maybe the arc just got longer. So maybe justice
for the poor, the sick, and the stranger among us is farther
off. We’re still headed in the right direction.</font><br>
<font size="-1">But what if time runs out?</font><br>
<font size="-1">It is running out. The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse — famine, pestilence, war, and death — are saddled
up. Greenhouse gas emissions are raising the temperature of the
Earth to a point of no return.</font><br>
<font size="-1">Global warming — let’s stop calling it “climate
change” — is more important than immigration, manufacturing
jobs, Obamacare, ISIS, financial regulation, religious liberty,
abortion, Medicare, black lives matter, and the white working
class. It will destroy the moral universe itself, so far as it
exists on this planet.</font><br>

Watch Bernie Sanders slam USA Today reporter for inappropriate
question</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">1:30 Transcript:</font><br>
<font size="-1"> "Sir looking forward to 2020," USA Today
reporter Herb Jackson asked. "Could you give us your thoughts
about who you think might be the Democratic standard bearer? And
do you have any thoughts on Cory Booker?"</font><br>
<font size="-1"> "I am reading the last chapter of my book on
corporate media," said Bernie Sanders. "I think this is
incredible. And I have to say this in all due respect. Are we?
Already? We haven’t inaugurated this president and we're talking
about 2020 because it's easy to write about. What about talking
about climate change and whether the planet survives. What about
talking about income and wealth inequality in medical. What
about talking about youth unemployment in African American
communities up 30, 40 percent. What about talking about
immigration reform criminal justice reform. Those are the issues
that the American people need to be engaged in; to start talking
about who's gonna be running in 2080... And look at you. You
look like a good candidate. I mean how much money do you have.
Maybe we will run you. ...I mean, I don't mean to be rude. But
the American people are tired of that. They really are. They
would like to hear serious discussion on serious issues. Who is
running in 2020, what 2090 is of concern? And I got to tell,
people are turning off their TVs. They are tired of, you know,
all of that stuff. So in all due respect. We got serious
problems in this country. And let's talk about the serious
issues and not worry who's going to be running in 4 years when
we haven't even inaugurated the president who just won." <a
