<blockquote> Goodbye Vancouver, hello San Diego. (video)<br>
A major climate-change study predicts temperatures in Metro
Vancouver will exceed those of present-day Southern California in
the coming decades.<br>
Frost and ice will become virtually a thing of the past, heating
bills will drop, and farm crops will flourish virtually year-round
in the Fraser Valley.<br>
That's the good news.<br>
On the down side...the region can expect: air-conditioning costs
to soar; worsening smog and associated health problems; increased
forest fires and water shortages; summer droughts followed by
severe fall rain events; and an influx of invasive species
threatening forests and agriculture....<br>
The report assumes a "business as usual" approach to global
greenhouse gas emissions, and would have to be updated if
governments adopt serious and swift measures to address the
problem...<br>
The report notes that savings in heating costs due to rising
temperatures will be offset by the need for air conditioning.
Areas of lower elevation, where most buildings are located, will
see more demand for air conditioning than present-day Kamloops by
the 2050s...<br>
The building industry will shoulder some of the responsibility for
finding solutions...<br>
Installing natural and/or passive shading and green roofs on
current and future buildings could become more cost effective and
help to "future-proof" buildings for climate change...<br>
City of North Vancouver mayor Darrell Mussatto, who is also chair
of Metro Vancouver's utilities committee, noted that the region is
trying to be proactive — water restrictions could begin as early
as May 1 in 2018, compared with the current May 15, which is
consistent with predictions for climate change...<br>
"We are taking this report seriously," <br>
... also looking at the pros and cons of residential water
metering. Longer-term solutions may include deepening of the
intake at Coquitlam reservoir and raising the height of the
Seymour dam to create more storage capacity for drier periods...<br>
Our ability to purchase fresh local produce for much of the year
will be a boon to consumers...<br>
Farmers in the Fraser Valley will be able to grow crops virtually
year-round under a warming climate. At lower elevations, 45 days
will be added to the growing season by the 2050s and 56 days by
the 2080s, the climate-change report for Metro Vancouver
predicts...<br>
Farmers may seize the opportunity to plant more valuable crops and
can expect earlier harvests...<br>
But those benefits will be countered by increased pests and plant
diseases. And variations in temperature and precipitation may
cause pollinators to emerge at the wrong time...<br>
Brent Harris is a fifth-generation Delta farmer who grows mixed
crops — potatoes, beans, peas, corn and grain. He likes the idea
of a longer growing season "although we might all be under the
ocean by then," but he believes that farmers will have to adapt to
more extreme weather events year-round...<br>
Last year he planted his corn in late April — the earliest date
ever, by 10 to 14 days — because of the warm weather and dry
fields. On the other hand, the pond on his property was frozen for
skating for a full month this winter — something that has never
happened before. He also recalls 2010 when his potato crop was
ruined by wet weather. ..<br>
"We don't want to get lulled into complacency, and start assuming
you'll be able to plant and harvest on certain days," said
Harris....<br>
"Water will have to be drawn between tide cycles and there is no
guarantee that sufficient water will be available." ...<br>
It's also important that rainwater is allowed to replenish
aquifers during winter rains, he continued, noting that urban
development works against that...<br>
"The water runs off the roadways, rooftops and parking lots and
enters the surface waterways and makes its way out to the ocean.
This water is lost and cannot be used in summer months when we
need the freshwater resources."...<br>
As the climate changes, some plants and animals will thrive and
adapt, but others will perish...<br>
Hotter summers with less rain will negatively impact both
terrestrial and aquatic species. Salmon in the Fraser River system
are already experiencing mortality trying to return to excessively
warm streams to spawn...<br>
Invasive species "may be better able to thrive in changing
conditions and may out-compete native species," says the report...<br>
Invaders such as purple loosestrife, diffuse knapweed, hawkweed,
cheatgrass, Scotch broom, Eurasian milfoil and Dalmatian toadflax
are already well established in B.C. Others, such as red-eared
slider turtles in Metro Vancouver and Argentine ants in Victoria,
threaten to expand their range as the climate warms....<br>
Another threat is the nutria, a beaver-like mammal introduced
decades ago for the fur market in the Pacific Northwest and now
well-established in neighbouring Washington state. It consumes
one-quarter of its body weight daily and also causes damage
through burrowing, including into dams and dikes...<br>
Even without pests, climate change will affect local forests,
reducing growth and increasing mortality...<br>
Increased wildfires threaten to "dramatically affect the forest
structure," the report warns...<br>
Plants may suffer from heat stress and sun scald, increasing
demand for heat-tolerant plants...<br>
It all adds up to big changes on the horizon for Metro Vancouver
residents. There will be winners and losers, but everyone will be
significantly impacted by the climate changes to come.<br>

<blockquote> Researcher points to more Amazon rainforest droughts<br>
Climate change from political and ecological standpoints is a
constant in the media and with good reason, suggests a new study,
but proof of its impact is sometimes found in unlikely places...<br>
"Discussions of climate change usually are focused on changes
occurring in polar and temperate zones, but tropical regions also
are expected to experience changes in regional precipitation,"..<br>
The study reveals that climate change is impacting tropical
regions with consequences not only for terrestrial ecosystems, but
for aquatic ecosystem dynamics, biodiversity and fisheries as
well," he said. "It shows that future fisheries management in
tropical regions will need to account for how changes in
precipitation and hydrology influence ecological factors affecting
fish stocks."</blockquote>

<blockquote>I've been in the field for three days. I am doing some
vertical tillage on corn stalks. all you know killers who are
offended by this, that's an argument we could have another day.
But to say the least, this is Incredibly unusual: the ground is
working right, the stalks are dry, and they're cutting up, which
is what we're trying to get done and it's dry all the way down...<br>
This is unusual weather and we're not the only people are having
unusual weather. If you've been paying attention, California 's
long term epic drought to a near cataclysmic floods with dam's
being threatened...<br>
Australia is struggling with having enough colors to show how hot
it is in the interior, so they've finally had to add purple to
their temperature map so that they could show how hot it was...<br>
You've got global see ice—counting both poles—is at a new minimum
and trending lower. As a matter of fact there's just a lot of
weird weather all over the globe and we've been talking about it.
It turns out that all these things predicted by, and i think
explained by, what climatologists said many years ago—I bought
into a decade ago—and that its anthropogenic global warming,
man-caused global warming. And this is the outcome of it...<br>
We're 68 degrees in central Illinois in February. It's kind of
interesting, while we may be in the process of legislative
repealing global warming, it really doesn't care whether we
believe it or not, it's going to go ahead continue...<br>
As a matter of fact, that famous saying by Mark Twain, which he
may or may not have said, that "everybody talks about the weather,
but nobody does anything about it," it could be backwards. It
could be that we've all been doing something about the weather and
that's why we're talking about it.</blockquote>

<blockquote> DURHAM, N.H. – New Hampshire's maple syrup producers
say they are feeling the impact of climate change, as winters
become warmer and frigid nights so critical to their business
become fewer...<br>
Producers joined climate experts and Democratic U.S. Sen. Maggie
Hassan of New Hampshire on Tuesday to talk about the state's
changing climate and how it is affecting one of the state's most
important industries...<br>
Some producers talked of seeing a steep drop in the amounts of sap
they are getting, while others are dealing with another trend
attributed to warmer temperatures in which the sap goes up to the
top of the trees rather than down to taps. Others complained about
a drop in the sugar content of their sap...<br>
"When I purchased the farm in 2000, I was getting 75 gallons of
sap," said Ray LaRoche of LaRoche Farm in Durham. "With the
environmental changes we've been seeing, it's down to 15
gallons..."..<br>
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York,
Pennsylvania and Vermont produced 3.78 million gallons of syrup in
2016, according to a Northeast maple syrup production statistics
service run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Vermont is the
clear leader, alone producing more than 47 percent of the
country's maple syrup...<br>
The ideal temperatures for sap production are in the 20s at night
and 30s and 40s during the day. When the climate is in the 50s and
60s during the day and the nights stay warm, sap runs not to the
taps, but to the tops of the trees, causing the tree to bloom.
That can lead to a cloudy and off-tasting product....<br>
"The other day we had a nice 50-degree day which is kind of the
new normal but still not normal," said Jeff Moore of Windswept
farm.<br>
"Climate change is man-made, and that's the good news," said
Cameron Wake, who leads a research program at the University of
New Hampshire that's investigating regional climate change.
"Because if we caused the problem, we can fix the problem."<br>

LuAnne Thompson</a></font></b><br>
<blockquote>Published on Oct 17, 2013<br>
Dr. LuAnne Thompson of the University of Washington's Program on
Climate Change, describes interactions of global climate and
oceans at Climate Change and the News: Science Seminars for
Journalists in the Pacific Northwest seminar held in Seattle,
Washington on September 6, 2013.<br>
"This a superb lecture. Fast paced, but not too complex designed
for an audience of smart journalists. A few elegant metaphors
really help with understanding. (hot water bottle and 2 dozen hair
dryers!) Very grateful .. but I have to ask, if this is a
classroom full of news professionals, why does so little of this
make it into main stream media? Journalists need more class
time like this. worth forwarding to you favorite writer." <br>

Day in Climate History February 27, 2001 </a> - from
D.R. Tucker</b></font> <br>
</i></font>February 27, 2001: Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill
sends a memo to President George W. Bush urging him to take strong
action to combat carbon pollution. The memo is ignored, and O'Neill
would be forced out as Treasury Secretary a year later.<br>
<blockquote>The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House,
and the Education of Paul O'Neill<br>
Ron Suskind Simon and Schuster, Sep 2, 2004 - History - 409 pages<br>
...this is the explosive account of how the Bush administration
makes policy on war, taxes, and politics -- its true agenda
exposed by a member of the Bush cabinet.<br>
This vivid, unfolding narrative is like no other book that has
been written about the Bush presidency. At its core are the candid
assessments of former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill, the
only member of Bush's cabinet to leave and speak frankly about how
and why the administration has come to its core policies and
decisions -- from cutting taxes for the rich to conducting
preemptive war.<br>
O'Neill's account is supported by Pulitzer Prize-winning
journalist Ron Suskind's interviews with numerous participants in
the administration, by transcripts of meetings, and by voluminous
documents. The result is a disclosure of breadth and depth
unparalleled for an ongoing presidency. As readers are taken to
the very epicenter of government, Suskind presents an astonishing
picture of a president so carefully managed in his public posture
that he is a mystery to most Americans. Now, he is revealed.<br>
