of 'megafires' to increase as climate warms</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">The likelihood of extreme wildfires – or
"megafires" – across the world is expected to increase as global
temperatures rise, a new study says.</font><br>
<font size="-1">The research, published in Nature Ecology &
Evolution, uses satellite data to identify the 500 most extreme
wildfires in recent years. Almost a third of these megafires
caused deaths, burned down homes, or were declared a disaster by
a national government.</font><br>
<font size="-1">Using climate change projections for the middle of
this century, the study suggests there will be a 35% increase in
the days with high danger of fire across the world. But the some
regions will see even larger increases, the researchers say,
including western states of the US, southeastern Australia, the
Mediterranean and southern Africa.</font><br>

<blockquote><font size="-1"> (The Seattle Times, Lynda V. Mapes
& Hal Bernton analysis)</font><br>
<font size="-1"> Oil producers hailed President Trump's recent
call for accelerating construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota
Access pipelines. But is there a need for so many major pipeline
projects?</font><br>
<font size="-1">Tanker traffic would see a sevenfold expansion
through the Salish Sea in Washington and British Columbia. The
risks of oil spills have spurred tribal and environmental
opposition in both Canada and the United States, and the
pipeline permit faces legal challenges.</font><br>
<font size="-1">Workers are already standing by in hotel rooms in
North Dakota and equipment is on the site to complete the last
bit of work.</font><br>

crews work around the clock, a source close to the project said.</font><br>

Crack in an Antarctic Ice Shelf Grew 17 Miles in the Last Two
Months</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">A rapidly advancing crack in
Antarctica's fourth-largest ice shelf has scientists concerned
that it is getting close to a full break. The rift has
accelerated this year in an area already vulnerable to warming
temperatures. Since December, the crack has grown by the length
of about five football fields each day.</font><br>
<font size="-1">According to Dr. Rignot, the collapse of Larsen C
would add only a tiny amount of water to the global sea level.
Of greater concern to scientists is how the collapse of ice
shelves can affect the glaciers that flow behind them, because
the melting of those glaciers can cause much higher levels of
ocean rise. Scientists see the impending Larsen C collapse as a
warning that much larger amounts of ice in West Antarctica could
be vulnerable.</font><br>

<font size="-1">Fiction, on the other hand, can entertain, inform,
and speculate. In the case of science fiction, it can provide
human context for facts and data, supporting it rather than
refuting it. Possible solutions to urgent issues such as climate
change can be explored. Though speculative fiction authors —
including Margaret Atwood, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Barbara
Kingsolver — have flocked to the topic in recent years, climate
change has been addressed in fiction for decades, dating back to
J.G. Ballard's imagined natural disasters.... we asked a range
of science fiction authors ... to discuss speculative or
fictional solutions to how climate change is discussed... </font><br>

<blockquote><font size="-1">Bush EPA Recognized Global Warming
Threat - by Kate Sheppard Mother Jones<br>
In recent months, the EPA's power to regulate greenhouse-gas
emissions has become a prime target for Republicans (and some
Democrats) in Congress who raise the specter of a government
bureaucracy gone wild under the Obama administration. Foes of
the regulations have gone so far as to propose throwing out the
very scientific finding that greenhouse gases threaten human
health. But a letter released Tuesday once again makes it clear
that even the Bush administration knew it needed to act on
global warming—it just chose not to....<br>
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) releases a January 31, 2008 letter from
then-EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson to President George W.
Bush, urging Bush to finally take action on carbon pollution...
