Drums of War - George Monbiot.com </a></b></font><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">The combination of automation,
complexity and climate change is dangerous in ways we haven’t
even begun to grasp....</font><br>
<font size="-1">Wave the magic wand and the problem goes away.
Those pesky pollution laws, carbon caps and clean power plans:
swish them away and the golden age of blue-collar employment
will return. This is Donald Trump’s promise, in his video
message on Monday, in which he claimed that unleashing coal and
fracking will create "many millions of high-paid jobs". He will
tear down everything to make it come true...</font><br>
<font size="-1">But it won’t come true. Even if we ripped the
world to pieces in the search for full employment, leaving no
mountain unturned, we would not find it. Instead, we would
merely jeopardise the prosperity – and the lives – of people
everywhere. However slavishly governments grovel to corporate
Luddism, they will not bring the smog economy back...</font><br>
<font size="-1">A complete reframing of economic life is needed
not "just" to suppress the existential risk that climate change
presents (a risk marked by a 20°C anomaly reported in the Arctic
Ocean while I was writing this article), but other existential
threats as well – including war. Today’s governments, whether
they are run by Trump or Obama or May or Merkel, lack the
courage and imagination even to open this conversation. It is
left to others to conceive of a more plausible vision than
trying to magic back the good old days. The task for all those
who love this world and fear for our children is to imagine a
different future, rather than another past. </font><font

the availability of subsistence resources, 60 percent focused on
hunter access....Much of the research emphasis has previously
been on how climate change could affect key wildlife
populations, such as caribou, moose and sea mammals.Brinkman
said the survey results add to a growing understanding that
getting access to traditional food sources could be a more
significant problem as the climate shifts....<br>
They’re also collecting more specific data from hunters about
the changing environment they are facing and how it affects
their ability to reach resources.Researchers want to better
understand how often such problems occur, since the ability to
make adaptations will be depend on whether access is a concern
occasionally or regularly....."A lot of climate change stuff is
out of local control, but if they’re aware of the trajectory and
patterns of change then they can better adapt," Brinkman said.</div>

Friday informed Indigenous water protectors and their allies
that they have nine days to vacate the main Dakota Access
Pipeline protest camp—or else face arrest. ..."This decision is
necessary to protect the general public from the violent

that have occurred in this area, and to prevent death, illness,
or serious injury to inhabitants of encampments due to the harsh
North Dakota winter conditions," Col. John Henderson of the

Dave Archambault II...The Oceti Sakowin camp, on the banks of
the Cannonball River, will be closed Monday, December 5, the
letter warned. Any individuals found on Army land north of the
river after that date would be considered trespassing and could
be prosecuted. ...

droughts and floods linked to climate change are severely
affecting corporate financial performance globally.</font><br>
<font size="-1">LONDON, 27 November, 2016 − Companies worldwide
are being warned that taking water preservation measures is now
vital, and that those whole fail to act are likely to face
mounting financial losses....The <a
href="https://www.cdp.net/en">Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)</a>,
a not-for-profit organisation that tracks corporate
environmental performance, says a combination of droughts and
floods linked to climate change, plus a tightening of water
regulations, are costing companies billions of dollars....In a
new report, <a
href="https://www.cdp.net/en/research/global-reports/global-water-report-2016">Thirsty
business: Why water is vital to climate action</a>, CDP says
data supplied by more than 600 companies around the world showed
that corporate costs related to water amounted to US$14 billion
over the last financial year. These costs include preservation
measures put in place by many companies... "For a long time,
companies have taken water for granted as a free and plentiful
resource. But these assumptions are unravelling as the impacts
of climate change gather pace...."From the $100 billion-worth of
energy infrastructure at risk from rising sea levels in
Louisiana to Chinese industry facing tightening restrictions on
water use, investors are right to worry about the impacts of
water risks on their assets." – <a

<blockquote><font size="-1">The United Nations defines cities with
populations of 10 million or more as megacities. Many of these
megacities are rapidly expanding and require natural resources
to sustain their growing populations and industries; many are
also home to economic disparities. With these factors in mind,
how are megacities distributing safe drinking water and
sanitation and how is global climate change impacting water
availability in these cities? In December 2015, UNESCO hosted a
conference entitled "Water, Megacities, and Global Change" to
address these and other questions. In this accompanying report,
readers can learn about how fifteen cities - including Beijing,
Chicago, Lagos, and Paris - are currently addressing
water-related issues. In doing so, the report highlights both
the unique challenges faced by these cities along with possible
common solutions. [the Scout Report] <a
