    Ken Ward and Emily Johnston are willing to spend decades in prison
    for shutting down tar-sands oil pipelines. <br>
    They want you to understand why.<br>
    By Wen Stephenson<br>
    <blockquote>Unexpected things tend to happen when Ken Ward goes to
      trial...<br>
      Though he faced up to 20 years in prison, Ward did not contest the
      facts of his case..<br>
      ...the jury was unable to reach a verdict, and a mistrial was
      declared. It was a stunning outcome, hailed by Ward’s supporters
      far and wide as a victory of conscience. The prosecutors have
      decided that Ward will be retried, with the new trial date to be
      determined.<br>
      "Bottom line is, there were three things we sent them back to the
      jury room with. First, we offered, and the prosecution accepted,
      our seven-minute highlight video of the action, showing me doing
      it. So they have that. There’s no question about what I did.
      Second, they have the NASA chart of CO2 concentrations going back
      400,000 years, all the peaks and valleys showing it never even
      reaches 300 [parts per million], and the current concentration at
      404 ppm. And third, they have the sea-level map [using the Climate
      Central online mapping tool] of Skagit County in 2050, with five
      feet of sea-level rise. And that’s a conservative number. It shows
      all the low-lying lands in Skagit, which are tulip fields—the
      biggest agricultural product around there is tulips—and all the
      tulips are underwater, and it shows all the refineries becoming
      islands. And that’s it. They had those three visuals: me doing it,
      the CO2, and sea-level rise."...<br>
      "If necessity had been included in the jury instructions, then it
      would have been a very different conversation in the jury room.
      Here, they had to assert a thing that they had some idea was the
      right and the fair thing to do, without any backing from the judge
      and the courts. I think it’s far more powerful."...<br>
      "Presidents come and go, but the physics are the same. It’s
      necessary. Might we pay a higher price for it than we expected?
      Yes, we might. But it is absolutely necessary. "...<br>
      " One might ponder what it meant before the election, and what it
      means now, but one of the immediate effects of the election was to
      send a chill through a lot of activists. "...<br>
      "There is a world of people out there who, even though they don’t
      read about climate obsessively, really suspect in their bones that
      it’s catastrophic, and they feel paralyzed by that knowledge and
      therefore just look away. Because for a long time nobody was
      providing them a legitimate alternative to looking away. I think
      people had an instinct that this incremental stuff wasn’t going to
      work. "...<br>
      " ...we really ought to shut all of our environmental
      organizations’ offices, hold a press conference on the steps of
      Congress, and announce that we can’t possibly do anything in
      Washington since the fossil-fuel companies own the government, and
      then march away, into the center of the country, and debate the
      question there."...<br>
      " You just have to, in good faith and in as careful and considered
      a fashion as you can, you have to be willing to take the risks—and
      think, well, what’s going on now is not working, so let’s try
      this. And you can’t know in advance."...<br>
      " We need to elect somebody in four years who is elected on
      climate—to do what is necessary. And I don’t see how we do that by
      just being one of the various things in response to what Trump
      does. That’s the question we have to ask. How do we make that
      happen? It’s really, really easy to see us electing a Democrat who
      has climate just exactly where, or maybe one notch up from where,
      Clinton had it."...<br>
      "You remain engaged with the reality of what is happening, you
      don’t hide yourself from the pain and the suffering of it, and you
      do the best you can to address it. And living in that way is
      really what we’re called to do."<br>

    <blockquote> <b>Walter Sullivan</b> in The New York Times reports: 
      <b>Climatologists Are Warned North Pole Might Melt</b><br>
       "There is a real possibility that some people now in their
      infancy will live to a time when the ice at the North Pole will
      have melted, a change that would cause swift and perhaps
      catastrophic changes in climate."<br>
      The world is faced with a "Faustian bargain," Dr. Roger Revelle,
      chairman of tomorrow morning's session, told a press conference
      today, adding, “Whatever you do is bad.” Dr. Revelle, who formerly
      headed the population center at Harvard University, noted that
      population growth had already tapered off in Europe, including
      European Russia and Japan...<br>
      There is "real hope," he said, that in the next century world
      population may level off at eight billion — roughly double the
      present level. But to raise the living standards of such a
      population to advanced levels will place formidable demands on
      energy production.<br>
