warning on Atlantic cooling</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote>LONDON, 24 February, 2017 -- Climatologists say there
is an almost 50% chance that the Labrador Sea in the North
Atlantic Ocean will cool rapidly within the next decade...<br>
For thousands of years, parts of north-west Europe have enjoyed a
climate around 5°C warmer than many other regions on the same
latitude. But new scientific analysis suggests that that could
change much sooner and much faster than thought possible...<br>
Climatologists who have looked again at the possibility of major
climate change in and around the Atlantic Ocean, a persistent
puzzle to researchers, now say there is an almost 50% chance that
a key area of the North Atlantic could cool suddenly and rapidly,
within the space of a decade, before the end of this century...<br>
That is a much starker prospect than even the worst-case
scientific scenario proposed so far, which does not see the
Atlantic ocean current shutdown happening for several hundred
years at least.<br>

<b><a href="http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/1/e1601666">Overlooked
possibility of a collapsed Atlantic Meridional Overturning
Circulation in warming climate</a></b><br>
Abstract<br>
<blockquote>Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning
Circulation (AMOC) are moderate in most climate model projections
under increasing greenhouse gas forcing. This intermodel consensus
may be an artifact of common model biases that favor a stable
AMOC. Observationally based freshwater budget analyses suggest
that the AMOC is in an unstable regime susceptible for large
changes in response to perturbations. By correcting the model
biases, we show that the AMOC collapses 300 years after the
atmospheric CO2 concentration is abruptly doubled from the 1990
level. Compared to an uncorrected model, the AMOC collapse brings
about large, markedly different climate responses: a prominent
cooling over the northern North Atlantic and neighboring areas,
sea ice increases over the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian seas and to
the south of Greenland, and a significant southward rain-belt
migration over the tropical Atlantic. Our results highlight the
need to develop dynamical metrics to constrain models and the
importance of reducing model biases in long-term climate
projection.<br>

<blockquote> The Atlantic Monthly magazine Looks Ahead to the 21st
Century ONE of the most shocking scientific realizations of all
time has slowly been dawning on us: the earth's climate does great
flip-flops every few thousand years, and with breathtaking speed.
We could go back to ice-age temperatures within a decade -- and
judging from recent discoveries, an abrupt cooling could be
triggered by our current global-warming trend. Europe's climate
could become more like Siberia's. Because such a cooling would
occur too quickly for us to make readjustments in agricultural
productivity and supply, it would be a potentially
civilization-shattering affair, likely to cause an unprecedented
population crash. What paleoclimate and oceanography researchers
know of the mechanisms underlying such a climate flip suggests
that global warming could start one in several different ways.<br>

With its 2016 National Environmental Scorecard, the League of
Conservation Voters has failed to see the climate vision behind
Bernie Sanders' historic presidential campaign. That vision is the
only way forward for the Democratic party.<br>
Earlier today, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released its
vaunted National Environmental Scorecard for 2016, measuring the
green voting records of U.S. members of Congress. While there are no
surprises for fringe lawmakers like Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) and
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), many were certainly befuddled to learn that
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has received a score of 6%. To put that
in perspective, 6% is only two points higher than what Alabama's
Republican Senators Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby were awarded in
last year's edition.<br>
This year, LCV wants to convince the public that Colorado's two
senators are stronger environmental allies than Bernie Sanders.
Democrat Michael Bennet, who voted twice in favor of the Keystone XL
pipeline and is known to have an affinity for fracking, received a
100% score. And Republican Corey Gardner got a 29% rating, 11 points
higher than his lifetime average and 23 points higher than Sanders.
The day that I concede that Bennet and Gardner are better for the
environment than Bernie Sanders is the day that I concede that Jesus
Christ was indeed a white man with blonde hair and blue eyes.<br>

By dana1981 &<br>
<blockquote>A month into his presidency, Donald Trump already has a
minus-8 job approval rating (43% approve, 51% disapprove).
Congress has a minus-50 approval rating, and the Republican Party
has a minus-14 favorability rating. All are facing widespread
protests, marches, and public resistance. Hundreds of concerned
constituents have been showing up to town hall events held by
Republican Congressmen, like this one with Tom McClintock (R-CA):

the University of Connecticut on Thursday afternoon to discuss<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight:
normal;">climate change</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>in
students' scholarly and human lives. When students first arrived
to the discussion, she asked them to write down<span
class="Apple-converted-space">...<br>
When almost every person in the room shared that they were
worried about climate change, Schapira explained that this "me
too" feeling can facilitate comfort, collaboration and then
change...<br>
Schapira recognized that feelings aren't actions, and that
writing can be the bridge between feelings and actions...<br>
"I liked that this is an activity that is not all science,
science, science," sixth-semester environmental studies major
Sherly Santiago said. "It's a lot more about human feelings
toward the issue."..<br>
In the question and answer portion after the event, one
student asked Schapira how she stays positive and avoids
feeling helpless...<br>
"It's absolutely true that the deck is stacked in favor of
damage," Schapira said. "It is okay to feel tired. It is okay
to pause. I think that sometimes the best way to take care of
yourself is to take care of somebody else." </span><b
style="font-weight: normal;">...<br>
She then asked the students to switch papers with their peers.

great change their peer wants to read, as well as to try out a
new method of communication, whether that be dancing,
painting, cooking or hugging. Students were invited to send an
email to their peer explaining how they did....</b></div>

climate lecture series during the month of March. The lecture
series takes an in-depth look at what climate.change is, how
it's happening and its impacts on Central Virginia...<br>
The series will feature scientists, researchers, geologists and
climate specialists. Each week, a different presenter will speak
and then interact with the audience for a meet and greet...<br>
Their focus is to educate people on how they can individually
combat climate change.<br>
Dr. Jeremy Hoffman, Climate & Earth Science specialist for
the Science Museum of Virginia, recommends reducing your "energy
appetite "at home and at your business as a way to combat
climate change...<br>
"The key reason climate change is happening is the release of
heat trapping gases into the atmosphere due to burning of fossil
fuels. People need to learn how to be more energy efficient
whether that means to drive less or ride your bike more, figure
out ways to make your house more energy efficient during the
winter time and during the summer time and to find natural ways
of cooling yourself down," said Hoffman...<br>
Hoffman describes how climate change is affecting regions in
Virginia...</div>

years, I'd really noticed how much our winters have changed,"
she says. "It's terrible<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b
style="font-weight: normal;">.</b></div>
During one of the recent 60 degree days, Gille and about a dozen
friends decided they needed to remind everyone about our
collective dire situation. The event was the brainchild of
Minneapolis resident Polly Kellogg...<br>
They made signs and went to Powderhorn Lake. "Now you've pissed
off grandma," read Gille's. "Climate change deniers skate on thin
ice," another said. Some of the women donned swimsuits. Others
disrobed. Some more so than others...<br>
Gille was one of those who went topless for the cause...<br>
"Here we are having the warmest February days ever locally at the
same time nationally we're moving in the opposite direction as to
the things we can do about global warming," she says. "We had the
[photo] shoot to let everyone know we're not okay with it and
neither should they." <br>

snowstorm will give Minnesota the shaft [PHOTO]</a></b></font><br>
Last month City Pages brought you the story of a perfectly decent
drawing of a dick in the snow of Loring Park in Minneapolis. All
in good cheer, we thought then...<br>
Sure, it was a little chilly in early January, but no one worried.
This -- until we're absorbed by Canada -- is still Minnesota and
besides, this winter's been unusually mild. The rest of that
month, and in early February, the daily high temperature often
rose above freezing; and last weekend was so unseasonably warm,
people stripped down to their shirts and dined outdoors on
patios...<br>
What fools. For, by drawing the snow dick, we in the Twin Cities
apparently summoned the snow-dick-storm of the year...<br>
The imminent arrival of a phallic-shaped snow event was predicted
by the National Weather Service radar (and noticed by a City Pages
tipster) on Wednesday. The weather system runs through parts of
the Dakotas and northern Wisconsin; the tip appears to be resting
in Lake Superior, which sounds like really cold. ..<br>
Minnesota is getting the shaft. </blockquote>
