href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jan/29/prince-charles-climate-change-trump-visit-britain">Prince
Charles may raise climate change during Trump's visit to Britain</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Some in Whitehall are urging the prince
to challenge US president's pledge to abandon 2015 UN climate
change deal</font><br>
<font size="-1"> But the tour is now looking even more likely to
generate controversy as Prince Charles emerged as a possible
challenger to the president's views on climate change and faith
issues....</font><br>
<font size="-1">The Guardian understands from royal sources that
the prince will not lecture Trump in relation to their starkly
divergent views of what needs to be done to tackle global
warming but has not ruled out addressing the topic. This poses a
challenge not just for the president, who has threatened to
"cancel" the United Nations climate change deal signed in Paris
in 2015 and who has described climate change as "created by and
for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing
non-competitive". It is also a conundrum for the British
government scrambling to work out how to address Trump's radical
programme and how to make use of a sometimes controversial
advocate for climate action....</font><br>
<font size="-1">An anonymous source, described as being close to
Trump, said this weekend that the president would not put up
with being lectured by the prince, according to the Sunday
Times. The source warned against the two men meeting at all....</font><br>
<font size="-1"> He has been "gently primed" to assist diplomatic
efforts on the issue, a senior Whitehall source said and there
is "a sympathetic hearing" between Clarence House and the
government on climate change, with Charles's views considered
"absolutely in line with government policy".....</font><br>

Science Denial Shifts to a New Tactic Among Trump Appointees</a></b><br>
By: Jeff Masters , 5:29 PM GMT on February 03, 2017 <br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Our planet has just experienced three
consecutive warmest years on record—2014, 2015, and 2016—which
has made it difficult to find politicians who continue to deny
the reality of global warming and climate change. However,
denial of climate science has shifted to a new tactic: to claim
that the indisputable heating of the planet is primarily a
natural phenomenon, and that there is major uncertainty among
scientists on the issue. These assertions are false. Based on
the evidence, more than 97% of climate scientists have concluded
that human-caused climate change is happening; scientists' "best
estimate" is that ALL of the global warming since 1950 has been
human-caused, primarily through an increase in carbon dioxide
due to the burning of fossil fuels. Many prominent members of
the Trump administration, who all have ties to the fossil fuel
industry, have been making false claims about scientists'
understanding that global warming is human-caused...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"The best estimate of the human-induced
contribution to warming is similar to the observed warming over
this period." In other words, ALL of the observed warming after
1950 (0.6°C, 1.1°F) is due to humans. A total of 0.85°C (1.5°F)
total global warming has been observed since 1880. The IPCC
further quantified that human activity is extremely likely (at
least 95% chance) to be responsible for more than half of
Earth's temperature increase after 1950.</font><br>

BY MICHAEL E. MANN, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 01/31/17 12:10 PM EST<br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1"> For we are firmly back in the
madhouse. Climate change denial is once again in vogue in
Washington, D.C. As of Jan. 20, it is now the official policy of
our executive branch....</font><br>
<font size="-1"> Our new president, Donald Trump, has, of course,
infamously dismissed global warming as a Chinese hoax and “a big
scam for a lot of people to make a lot of money.” He has vowed
to cancel U.S. participation in the Paris climate agreement and
has threatened to block the Clean Power Plan, a measure to
reduce carbon emissions in the power sector. Among his key
advisers are some of the most notorious climate change deniers.
One has suggested cutting NASA’s entire climate research program
dismissing it, with no apparent sense of irony as, “heavily
politicized.”</font><br>

to unravel basic climate change</a></b><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">Science still cannot provide
satisfactory explanations for some features of basic climate
change, experts argue – and they want a global search for
answers.<br>
By Tim Radford<br>
LONDON, 5 February, 2017 – A group of distinguished climate
scientists has called for a massive international co-operation
to understand absolutely basic climate change. And their call
exposes the uncertainties that still make long-term climate
predictions uncertain, unsatisfactory and sometimes
unconvincing.<br>
"Knowing that the globe is warming through human activity is
like understanding that cancer is caused by runaway cell
division," said Christian Jakob, a climate scientist at Monash
University in Australia, and one of the authors.<br>
"It is just the start of the challenge. While global mean
temperature provides the canvas, the details of future changes
will emerge at regional levels. It's at these levels that we
will feel and need to adapt to the impact of climate change,
economically and socially."<br>
The point is that there is no doubt that human action has set
off a process of accelerating climate change, by clearing the
forests, changing the natural cycles of the terrestrial
landscape, and by excavating and burning colossal quantities of
fossil fuels to release rising proportions of carbon dioxide
into the Earth's atmosphere.<br>
But within that global understanding there remain three profound
questions that have yet to be answered in the kind of detail
that would permit accurate prediction.</font><br>

<blockquote>The whistleblower-scientist, John Bates, claimed that
NOAA broke its own rules for scientific integrity when it
published a noteworthy scientific study debunking the so-called
"hiatus" in global warming...<br>
The climate-denial camp has new ammunition: A widely refuted
Daily Mail article that claims top U.S. climate scientists
exaggerated their data for a 2015 study to "dupe" world leaders
into adopting the Paris Climate Agreement... <br>
That agreement, which went into force in November 2016, for the
first time committed the world to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions...<br>
For his incendiary story, British journalist David Rose, who has
reported inaccurately on climate science and Iraqi weaponry in
the past, spoke to a "high-level whistleblower" in a top U.S.
climate agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA).<br>
The whistleblower-scientist, John Bates, claimed that NOAA broke
its own rules for scientific integrity when it published a
noteworthy scientific study debunking the so-called "hiatus" in
global warming. .<br>
U.S. and European scientists swiftly denounced the Daily Mail
story this weekend, pointing to multiple independent analyses
supporting NOAA's findings.<br>
In fact, subsequent studies have shown the world may be
experiencing even more warming than the 2015 paper showed. Last
year was the warmest year on record, surpassing previous
milestones set in 2015 and 2014, respectively.<br>
Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist at the nonprofit
organization Berkeley Earth, said Rose's story is "so wrong,
it's hard to know where to start."<br>
Meanwhile, right-wing websites like Breitbart News and Daily
Caller shared the U.K. article to cast further doubt on the
mainstream scientific consensus that global warming is
happening, and that human activity is largely to blame.<br>

adjustments were accurate. <br>
(background) Berkeley Earth scientist Hausfather led the study
with colleagues from NASA, the U.K.'s York University, George
Mason University in Virginia, plus one other independent
researcher...<br>
On Sunday, in response to Rose's article, Hausfather wrote, "The
fact that the new NOAA record is effectively identical with
records constructed only from higher quality
instruments...strongly suggests that NOAA got it right."..<br>
Victor Venema, a German scientist with the World Meteorological
Organization, explained in his own blog post how Rose apparently
misconstrued the climate data to support evidence of a pause..<br>
Irish climate scientist Peter Thorne, who worked on the landmark
2015 study, also penned a rebuttal to the newspaper article,
noting that at least seven key aspects of the story are a
"misrepresentation of the processes that actually occurred."..<br>
He added that the accusations "do not square one iota with the
robust integrity I see in the work and discussions that I have
been involved in with them [NOAA] for over a decade."<br>

El Niño's cranky uncle that could send global warming into

<blockquote><font size="-1">It's called the Interdecadal Pacific
Oscillation, or IPO, a name coined by a study which examined
how Australia's rainfall, temperature, river flow and crop
yields changed over decades...<br>
Since El Niño means "the boy" in Spanish, and La Niña "the
girl", we could call the warm phase of the IPO "El Tío" (the
uncle) and the negative phase "La Tía" (the auntie)...<br>
These erratic relatives are hard to predict. El Tío and La Tía
phases have been compared to a stumbling drunk. And honestly,
can anyone predict what a drunk uncle will say at a family
gathering?..</font><br>

<font size="-1">A trio of Oakland residents fights against

<font size="-1">Series writer and producer Josh Healey (NPR's
"Snap Judgment") launched a Kickstarter campaign Wednesday
(February 1) to crowdfund production for the seven-episode show.
Healey named "The North Pole" after a term North Oakland
residents use for their neighborhood. The campaign's promotional
video features a polar bear (or, rather, an unidentified person
in a polar bear costume using hella Bay Area slang) interrupting
Healey and show star Reyna Amaya ("All Def Digital TV") as they
pitch the series. ...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"The North Pole" focuses on three friends as they
desperately try to keep their hometown from becoming
unrecognizable. "Facing both gentrification and global warming,
they combat evil landlords, crazy geoengineering plots and
ultimately each other," reads the Kickstarter page description.
Amaya stars alongside fellow Bay Area performers, including poet
Donte Clark ("Romeo is Bleeding") and newcomer Santiago Rosas...</font><br>
<font size="-1">Healey works as creative director for Movement
Generation, an East Bay-based grassroots environmental justice
organization that created a 2015 TV spot with comedians and
activists challenging California governor Jerry Brown's record
on fracking. ...</font><br>

<blockquote><font size="+1"><b> </b></font>In a New York Times
article, former Times environmental reporter William K. Stevens
notes:<br>
"The [American public's] awakening [on climate] has been energized
largely by dramatic reports on the melting Arctic and by fear —
generated by the spectacular horror of Hurricane Katrina — that a
warmer ocean is making hurricanes more intense...<br>
"Politicians are weighing in on the subject as never before,
especially with the advent of a Democratic-led Congress. It
appears likely, if not certain, that whoever is elected president
in 2008 will treat the issue seriously and act accordingly,
thereby bringing the United States into concert with most of the
rest of the world. Just last week, Senator John McCain of Arizona,
a presidential aspirant and the co-author of a bill mandating
stronger action, asserted that the argument about global warming
'is over.' Back in the day, such words from a conservative
Republican would have been unimaginable, even if he were something
of a maverick."
