from ...evidence continues to emerge that points to the
substantial business risks posed by rising global temperatures,
such as dwindling supplies of raw materials and water....<br>
Extreme heat, for example, is bad for the economy, causing crop
failure and reduced worker productivity, according to a new
study from Stanford University and the University of California
at Berkeley....<br>
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, a nonprofit group
that sets standards for corporate sustainability disclosures to
investors and is chaired by former New York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, estimates that significant climate risks – such as
severe weather events – exist for most of the companies it
tracks, which represent $27.5tn, or 93%, of US stocks as
measured by market value...<br>
There is also evidence that companies that embrace
sustainability actually perform better financially than those
that do not. A 2014 study ... corporations that actively manage
and plan for climate change achieved an 18% higher return on
investment than companies that weren’t planning for climate
change, and 67% higher than companies that refused to disclose
their emissions. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

The clock's countdown now shows that only one year is left in
the world's carbon budget before the planet heats ...just one
year until global temperatures surpass 1.5ºC of warming..... the
clock shows that time is running out: it is not enough to act
sometime in the future, but it is necessary to implement more
ambitious climate policies already in the very short-term," ...<br>
"Take all of the most difficult features of individual pathways
to 2ºC—like fast and ambitious climate action in all countries
of the world, the full availability of all required emissions
reduction and carbon removal technologies, as well as aggressive
energy demand reductions across the globe—the feasibility of
which were so heatedly debated prior to Paris," Löhe said. "This
gives you an idea of the challenge associated with the more
ambitious 1.5°C goal."<br>

href="http://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2017/01/06/science.aam6284.full">
study titled, "The Irreversible Momentum of Clean Energy."</a>
The study's author says curbing<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight:

no longer has to come at the cost of economic growth, and
suggests being green is good for.......<br>
Obama published the new, footnote-laden study in a wonky journal
for scientists. But his intended audience could be his
successor, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, and his coterie of
cabinet picks from the world of fossil fuels.<br>
On the campaign trail, Trump, an avid climate change skeptic,
said Obama and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s climate
policies were job killers. ...<br>
Trump also said he would "cancel" the landmark <a
href="http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/12/12/paris-conference-climate-agreement-final-obama/">Paris
climate change pact</a>, an international agreement to
dramatically curb global emissions that Obama touted as a
hallmark legacy of his presidency.<br>
Apparently Obama’s <a
href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/president-calls-climate-change-greatest-threat-future-generations-state-union/">State
of the Union warning</a> that climate change was the "greatest
threat to future generations" didn’t resonate with the
president-elect, who called climate change "an expensive hoax"
and "bullshit" in the past....<br>
So Obama is trying a different tack; if raising the alarm bells
on its danger didn’t work, maybe an economic argument will work.
In Science, Obama says economic growth can continue hand-in-hand
with falling emissions. Energy sector carbon emissions fell by
9.5 percent from 2008 to 2015, writes Obama, while the U.S.
economy grew by 10 percent in the same timeframe....<br>
Part of that was due to the fracking revolution, which unleashed
lots of cleaner-burning natural gas that pushed coal out of
power plants. Part was due to the fact that the United States
was emerging from the fiscal crisis and recession, which
hammered demand for electricity and thus meant lower emissions.<br>
"This ‘decoupling’ of energy sector emissions and economic
growth should put to rest the argument that combating climate
change requires accepting lower growth or a lower standard of
living," Obama writes. He also warns that ignoring the damaging
impacts of global climate change will be hazardous to U.S.
economic health. "Estimates of the economic damages from warming
of 4°C over preindustrial levels range from 1% to 5% of global
GDP each year by 2100," he writes, "which could lead to lost
U.S. federal revenue of roughly $340 billion to $690 billion
annually."...<br>
... Obama notes in the conclusion of the study, ... "We have
long known, on the basis of a massive scientific record, that
the urgency of acting to mitigate climate change is real and
cannot be ignored."<br>
... Obama is hoping that someone — anyone — close to the
president-elect does, and that the new reality that tackling
climate change is not at odds with economic growth might just
get through....<br>

<b><a
href="http://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2017/01/06/science.aam6284.full">The
irreversible momentum of clean energy</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">The release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and
other greenhouse gases (GHGs) due to human activity is
increasing global average surface air temperatures, disrupting
weather patterns, and acidifying the ocean (1). Left unchecked,
the continued growth of GHG emissions could cause global average
temperatures to increase by another 4°C or more by 2100 and by
1.5 to 2 times as much in many midcontinent and far northern
locations (1). Although our understanding of the impacts of
climate change is increasingly and disturbingly clear, there is
still debate about the proper course for U.S. policy—a debate
that is very much on display during the current presidential
transition. But putting near-term politics aside, the mounting
economic and scientific evidence leave me confident that trends
toward a clean-energy economy that have emerged during my
presidency will continue and that the economic opportunity for
our country to harness that trend will only grow. This Policy
Forum will focus on the four reasons I believe the trend toward
clean energy is irreversible.</font><br>

Robert Redford, who founded Sundance, said by telephone. "It

the story, when our whole mission is to support filmmakers who
have stories they want to tell."<br>
Sundance finds itself navigating some unusually slippery terrain
this year. Mr. Redford, who recuses himself from programming
decisions, bristles when his festival is seen as having an
agenda. "We don’t take a position," he insisted. At the same
time, his top programmers, John Cooper and Trevor Groth, say
they are taking a specific stance, one that is political by
nature: For the first time in the festival’s history, there will
be a spotlight on one theme — global warming and the
environment. Their goal?<br>
"To change the world," Mr. Groth, programming director, said
with a grin over lunch here recently. Mr. Cooper, Sundance’s
director, added quickly, "Or die trying."</div>

isn't needed. ...This particular myth has been a favorite of
deniers over the past decade for one simple reason – if people
can be convinced that global warming stopped, they won’t
consider it a threat that we need to urgently address by cutting
fossil fuel consumption. It’s thus become one of the most common
myths peddled by carbon polluters and their allies...The answer
is that global warming has continued unabated over the past 18
years. There are of course natural temperature influences
superimposed on top of that human-caused warming trend. It just
so happens that 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2012 were all influenced
by La Niña cooling, which along with some other factors, acted
to temporarily dampen the warming.....<br>

domoic acid, a potent marine phycotoxin, at the climate scale.
Due to the threat domoic acid can pose to public health,
marine wildlife, and coastal economies, decades of laboratory
experiments have examined controls on domoic acid production
without reaching consensus on reliable toxin-producing
conditions. Our findings reveal an association between domoic
acid in shellfish and climate-scale warm ocean conditions, a
unique, large-scale perspective relative to previous work.</b><br>
