climate change in 2017</b></font></a><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">The Week Magazine-19 hours ago</font><br>
<font size="-1"> As the Trump administration takes shape, it has
become crystal clear that the president-elect's climate change
denialism will soon become...</font><br>
<font size="-1"> Not all of the news is this bleak, however. As
the year ends, there are some pockets of optimism:</font><br>
<font size="-1"> <b>1. Other nations are not waiting for the U.S.</b></font><br>
<font size="-1"><b> </b><b>2. U.S. states and cities aren't
giving up the fight either.</b></font><br>
<font size="-1"><b> </b><b>3. Public opinion is on the side of
action.</b></font><br>
<font size="-1"><b> </b><b>4. Even the most fossil fuel-dependent
entities are starting to plan for a less-carbon intensive
future.</b></font><br>

Ice Melt Could Push Atlantic Circulation to Collapse</a><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Hakai Magazine - New research gives a
glimpse of the potential long-term consequences of anthropogenic
warming.</font><br>
<font size="-1">But anthropogenic climate change seems to have
made the current weaken slightly... a shutdown of the
circulation from further warming is considered unlikely. Yet a
new study says that the unprecedented melting of Greenland's
massive ice sheets, previously overlooked in most climate
modeling, will result in the AMOC weakening, and maybe even
collapsing, within the next 300 years...</font><br>
<font size="-1">... Sediment cores drilled from Greenland and
Antarctica show that during the last ice age, the AMOC weakened
suddenly and dramatically, nearly to the point of collapse, just
before periods of wild climate change in the northern and
southern hemispheres... I'm not sure if we really know all the
consequences of such things." <a

Change New Year Resolutions</a><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">Yale Climate Connections asked 13
influential and respected voices in the climate change research,
policy, and communications fields to describe, in just 100 words
or so, their climate change-related New Year's Resolutions:</font><br>
<font size="-1"> Wisely using our knowledge about climate and
energy can give us a better economy as well as a cleaner
environment. And, in addressing these twin challenges, we can
achieve the long-sought goal of abundant, sustainable energy,
providing everyone with the good that some of us have been
obtaining from the energy stored in fossil fuels - Richard
Alley, PhD, ..</font><br>
<font size="-1"> I will redouble my efforts at climate mitigation
within my family, my university, my city, and my state, even as
I find new courage to defend climate science, and climate
scientists, from attack. ...Kim Cobb, PhD, ...</font><br>
<font size="-1"> I resolve to keep my reporting focused on what
policies or practices, from local to global scales, can help or
hinder humanity's journey toward a sustainable relationship with
climate and energy. -Andrew Revkin,..</font><br>

What Rex Tillerson's Exxon Mobil track record tells us </a></b><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">Tillerson's essential failure as
chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil has been that he viewed climate
change as a threat to the company's bottom line rather than a
signal to change course. When business environments and markets
shift, companies must adapt or die. Tillerson must have
understood the scientific consensus about climate change for
decades; after all, Exxon Mobil is one of the most science-based
corporations in the world. As revealed in the Los Angeles Times
and InsideClimate News in 2015, internal Exxon documents dating
back to the late 1970s confirmed that the burning of fossil
fuels was destabilizing Earth's climate and would likely cause
catastrophic damage to the world's ecosystems as well as immense
human suffering...</font><br>
<font size="-1"> ...while Exxon was trying to confuse the public
about the dangers of continuing to burn fossil fuels, it was
also figuring out how to profit from its products' damage to the
planet....</font><br>
<font size="-1"> ... Tillerson has never backed down from Exxon
Mobil's position that it can pump and burn all its known fossil
fuel reserves. ..</font><br>

<blockquote> TWO RECENTLY RELEASED City of Boston planning reports
are on a direct collision course.<br>
The first one, "Climate Ready Boston," forecasts an alarming
future. The coastlines of mid-19th-century and mid-21st-century
Boston will be eerily similar delineations, making Back Bay,
South Bay, the Seaport, and other areas that were filled during
an era of intensive land-making once again the subjects of major
urban reimagination. The second report, "Imagine Boston 2030,"
identifies five priority growth areas: Suffolk Downs, Sullivan
Square, Beacon Yards, 100 Acres/South Boston Waterfront, and
Widett Circle. Astonishingly, four of the five growth areas in
"Imagine Boston 2030" are shown to be extremely vulnerable to
flooding by "Climate Ready Boston." How and where we decide to
grow will have immeasurable economic and social consequences, so
why would we intentionally grow in parts of the city that we
know to be extremely vulnerable to flooding?<br>

Day in Climate History January 4, 1996 </a> - from D.R.
Tucker</b></font><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">January 4, 1996: The New York Times
reports:</font><br>
<font size="-1">"The earth's average surface temperature climbed
to a record high last year, according to preliminary figures,
bolstering scientists' sense that the burning of fossil fuels is
warming the climate.</font><br>
<font size="-1">"Spells of cold, snow and ice like the ones this
winter in the northeastern United States come and go in one
region or another, as do periods of unusual warmth. But the net
result globally made 1995 the warmest year since records first
were kept in 1856, says a provisional report issued by the
British Meteorological Office and the University of East Anglia.</font><br>
<font size="-1">"The average temperature was 58.72 degrees
Fahrenheit, according to the British data, seven-hundredths of a
degree higher than the previous record, established in 1990.</font><br>
<font size="-1">"The British figures, based on land and sea
measurements around the world, are one of two sets of long-term
data by which surface temperature trends are being tracked.</font><br>
<font size="-1">"The other, maintained by the NASA Goddard
Institute for Space Studies in New York, shows the average 1995
temperature at 59.7 degrees, slightly ahead of 1990 as the
warmest year since record-keeping began in 1866. But the
difference is within the margin of sampling error, and the two
years essentially finished neck and neck...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"The preliminary Goddard figures differ from the
British ones because they are based on a somewhat different
combination of observations around the world...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"One year does not a trend make, but the British
figures show the years 1991 through 1995 to be warmer than any
similar five-year period, including the two half-decades of the
1980's, the warmest decade on record.</font><br>
<font size="-1">"This is so even though a sun-reflecting haze cast
aloft by the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines
cooled the earth substantially for about two years. Despite the
post-Pinatubo cooling, the Goddard data show the early 1990's to
have been nearly as warm as the late 1980's, which Goddard says
was the warmest half-decade on record.</font><br>
<font size="-1">"Dr. James E. Hansen, the director of the Goddard
center, predicted last year that a new global record would be
reached before 2000, and yesterday he said he now expected that
'we will still get at least a couple more' by then...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"Dr. Hansen has been one of only a few scientists
to maintain steadfastly that a century-long global warming trend
is being caused mostly by human influence, a belief he
reiterated yesterday."</font><br>
