The Pentagon, on the other hand, takes the risks of climate

Rising seas threaten coastal installations. Severe storms can
cut off supply routes. Extreme heat limits training...<br>
<b>"</b>The military has seen climate change as a problem
since 2003, if not earlier,<b>"</b> says retired Army Gen.
Gerry Galloway, now with the Center for Climate and
Security...<br>
National security threats from climate change are included in
eight defense and intelligence documents published before
President Obama took office, according to the center...<br>
<b>"</b>Climate change acts as a threat multiplier for
instability in some of the most volatile regions of the world,<b>"</b>
a group of high-ranking former military officials wrote in a

These conditions <b>"</b>foster the conditions for internal
conflicts, extremism and movement toward increased
authoritarianism and radical ideologies.<b>"</b>..<br>
Planning for the impacts accelerated under the Obama
administration. In 2014, DOD published a <a

recently during confirmation hearings for some of President
Trump's cabinet nominees....<br>
....the moral case for action is pretty clear: We have to get to
zero emissions, the sooner the better. Mr. Trump's nominees have
so far displayed scant willingness to come to grips with that...<br>
... Dr. Pierrehumbert and several other experts said the public
should not be fooled. The deep consensus among climate
scientists, arrived at through decades of research, is that
human activity is the cause of most of the planetary warming of
recent decades, and probably all of it.<br>
Perhaps surprisingly, though, the congressional hearings did
offer glimmers of hope.<br>
Rex W. Tillerson, who won confirmation on Wednesday as Mr.
Trump's secretary of state, implied that he might try to keep
the nation committed to a big international deal on climate
change reached in Paris in 2015...<br>
But the most interesting statements came from Rick Perry, Mr.
Trump's nominee to head the Department of Energy. Under
questioning, Mr. Perry, the former Texas governor, was
surprisingly positive about the role the federal government
might play in developing advanced clean-energy technology.<br>
Many people — Bill Gates among them — see this as the most
urgent issue. Renewable energy and greater use of natural gas
are helping lower emissions in the short run, but if we do not
invest heavily in research and development now, we may not have
the technology we will eventually need to get to zero
emissions....<br>
People like Mr. Gates and the entrepreneur Elon Musk are working
on Mr. Trump. If the president's mind is really open on global
warming, as he said after the election, perhaps he could also
sit down with a few of our brightest climate scientists.<br>
"If we always have to go back and debate the facts, we're never
going to get to the solutions," said Ken Caldeira, a California
climate expert who has helped to educate Mr. Gates. "Can't we at
least start with the facts and go from there?" --Justin
Gillis<br>

punchy climate book from a citizen scientist</a></b><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">The book is entitled Twenty-eight
Climate Change Elevator Pitches written by Rob Honeycutt - a
contributor to Skeptical Science. This book covers topics
typically in 2-3 pages. Really short, really concise, always on
point. Rob uses analogies to help describe climate science in
ways that the rest of us can relate. He includes both basic
science chapters as well as myth debunking. For instance, he
relates geological climate change to a boxing match.</font><br>
<font size="-1"> The basic science topics he covers include titles
such as "Ancient Sunlight", "Radiative Gases", and "The Climate
System". He also includes 2-3 page discussions on temperature
measurements, ocean warming and sea level rise, acidification,
ice, past climate change, tipping points, and more. Included
with each chapter are rich and engaging graphics.</font><br>
<font size="-1"> I also like that this book is simultaneously a
warning but also optimistic. He is correct that climate change
is a serious problem that we need to face. But, he is also right
on in recognizing that there are solutions to this problem that
can be implemented immediately. Furthermore, as Rob writes,
ignoring the problem will be more injurious than facing it head
on.</font><br>

style="font-weight: normal;">climate change</b>, most
Americans are like the passengers on a jetliner wanting to
arrive safely at their destination but thinking there's no need
to be involved with the actual flying of the plane. The "people
in charge," surely, have things under control....Lately,
however, the plane has experienced a rough ride: ...<br>
All this turbulence is prompting some of the passengers to rise
from their seats, walk to the cockpit and check with the pilot.
Upon opening the door, however, they are shocked to see no one
seated at the controls...<br>
It's time for the passengers to start flying the plane, and by
passengers, we mean citizens. This entails setting aside
cynicism about our government and engaging with people in
Congress who represent us in Washington. Government will respond
to the will of the people, provided the people tell the
government what we want. Engaging with our government also
requires us to seek common ground between Republicans and
Democrats. We can find that common ground by listening as much
as we talk.<br>
Hopeful signs emerged in 2016 with the creation of the
bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus, which has equal
membership from both sides of aisle. The caucus creates a safe
space for Republicans and Democrats, weary of the bickering and
posturing surrounding the climate issue, to have an honest
dialogue about ways to reduce the risks we face in a warming
world...<br>
None of this can happen, however, unless we take control of the
plane and put it back on course. As Apollo astronaut Rusty
Schweickart once said, "We aren't passengers on spaceship Earth,
we're the crew. We aren't residents on this planet, we're
citizens. The difference in both cases is responsibility." ...

href="http://www.climatecentral.org/news/epa-climate-web-pages-change-21133">Trump's
EPA Has Begun Removing Climate Change Information From Its
Website</a></b><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">Some of the EPA's climate pages have
been relabeled and language has been changed, providing
insights....<br>
Agency's website has begun to transform under the Trump
administration...<br>
... researchers have found what are likely the first steps in a
major overhaul .... Federal climate plans created under former
President Obama, tribal assistance programs, and references to
international cooperation have been stricken from the site...<br>
A mention of carbon pollution as a cause of climate change has
also been removed and adaptation has been emphasized, indicating
an attempt to separate the cause of climate change from the
response. Some of the changes — like removing mentions to
programs and task forces that have run their course as well as
broken links — are housekeeping, according to an agency
statement..<br>
"If the public is unaware of partnerships depending on the
EPA, it may be easier to shrink the EPA without raising as much
concern," said Gretchen Gehrke, a data quality manager at Public
Lab and a member of the Environmental Data and Governance
Initiative (EDGI)....<br>
Obama's legacy is being wiped away. One common theme running
through the alterations is removing references to Obama-era
projects such as the Climate Action Plan and other federal
roadmaps to address climate change. The international
partnership page also lost a paragraph affirming the U.S.
commitment to the United Nations climate negotiations.<br>
An EPA spokesperson said that all the changes were routine and
in line with agency guidelines.<br>
<b>Mentions of local commitments and partnerships have been
scaled back. </b>The EPA could also be heading toward a pull
back from supporting U.S. communities, including some of the
poorest in the country. The updated partners page has removed
mentions of the Tribal Environmental General Assistance Program.<br>
That program provided $65.5 million to tribes across the U.S. in
2016 to help increase their ability to prepare for and adapt to
climate and other environmental changes. ...<br>
<b>International commitments could be in jeopardy.</b> The EPA
site is also missing mentions of the United Nations and the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. That
includes a paragraph on the EPA's international partnerships
page stating that the U.S. is committed to the international
community through the United Nations climate talks....<br>
<b>Climate change is being disassociated from carbon pollution.</b>
In the process of removing a mention of Obama's Climate Action
Plan, the partnerships page also no longer mentions carbon
pollution as a cause of climate change. Removing the commitment
to the United Nations process also came with removing a
statement linking greenhouse gas emissions to climate change.<br>
That's underscored by a report from InsideEPA, an online news
service that monitors the agency, showing that the Trump
administration could soon start to remove what it's deemed as
"propaganda" from the EPA site. Given Pruitt's dim views on the
link between climate change and carbon pollution, it's likely
that those references will be in jeopardy.<br>

EPA is expected to soon begin removing what one source close to
the Trump administration calls climate change "propaganda" from
its website, but it is not expected to remove data on greenhouse
gas emissions and other climate change science. "Eventually . .
. the propaganda will get removed, so the only question is
when," the source says. "Most of what is there is not data. Most
of what is there is interpretation." The source's comments
suggest the new administration will...</font><br>
