<blockquote> Conference brought together top climate scientists and
policy experts for a series of talks and panel discussions<br>
Scientists agree that human activities are changing Earth's
climate and that the consequences for humanity could be dire.
Experts also believe currently available technologies can provide
solutions to the problems of climate change. Implementing the
transition to sustainable energy technologies won't be easy,
however, and the need for action is urgent, according to the
scientists and policymakers gathered at the fourth annual UC Santa
Cruz Climate Conference, held on campus February 24-25.<br>
In his keynote address, climate scientist Veerabhadran Ramanathan
made the case that climate change now poses an existential threat
to our civilization. "Climate change can reach crisis levels in
this century, affecting rich and poor alike," he said. "It is an
urgent problem and requires urgent solutions."<br>

Oil Industry Peers Knew About Climate Dangers in the 1970s, Too</a></b><br>
<blockquote>Members of an American Petroleum Institute task force on
CO2 included scientists from nearly every major oil company,
including Exxon, Texaco and Shell....<br>
An InsideClimate News investigative series has shown that Exxon
launched its own cutting-edge CO2 sampling program in 1978 in
order to understand a phenomenon it suspected could harm its
business. About a decade later, Exxon spearheaded campaigns to
cast doubt on climate science and stall regulation of greenhouse
gases. The previously unpublished papers about the climate task
force indicate that API, the industry's most powerful lobbying
group, followed a similar arc to Exxon's in confronting the threat
of climate change....<br>
Just as Exxon began tracking climate science in the late 1970s,
when only small groups of scientists in academia and the
government were engaged in the research, other oil companies did
the same, the documents show. Like Exxon, the companies also
expressed a willingness to understand the links between their
product, greater CO2 concentrations and the climate, the papers
reveal. Some corporations ran their own research units as well,
although they were smaller and less ambitious than Exxon's and
focused on climate modeling, said James J. Nelson, the former
director of the task force.<br>

Climate Opinion Maps – U.S. 2016</a></b><br>
By Peter Howe, Matto Mildenberger, Jennifer Marlon and Anthony

<blockquote>Filed under: Beliefs & Attitudes and Policy &
Politics<br>
YCOM 2.0 reveals the rich geographic diversity of Americans'
opinions about global warming. A new spatial layer – Metro Areas –
provides estimates of public opinions in urban areas. Version 2.0
also adds new questions, including trust in climate scientists,
the belief that global warming will harm plants and animals, how
often Americans discuss global warming with their friends and
family, and how often they hear about global warming in the media
(available at the state level)... <br>
Relevant to President Trump's likely effort to repeal the Clean
Power Plan, 69% of Americans support setting strict CO2 limits on
existing coal-fired power plants, including majorities in all 50
states and all 435 Congressional Districts...<br>

<blockquote> by John Abraham - As with all such lists, the 300
'scientists' badly lack climate expertise<br>
First of all, hardly anyone on the list was a climate scientist;
many were not even natural scientists. It is almost as though
anyone with a college degree (and there are about 21 million
enrolled in higher education programs just in the USA) was
qualified to sign that letter....<br>
Okay but what about the signers of the letter? Surely they are
experts in the field? Not so much. It was very difficult to find
the list of signers online however I was able to acquire it with
some help. See for yourself - Google "300 scientists letter
climate change" in the past week. You will see many stories in the
press, but try finding the actual letter or the list of names. The
version I obtained was dated February 23, 2017 which helps narrow
your searching. In an era of Dr. Google, it is unbelievable that
the letter itself was not made more available...<br>
. These 300 scientists must be pretty good at climate science,
right? Well let's just go through the list, alphabetically....<br>

Potential Science Adviser Will Happer: Carbon Dioxide Demonized
Just Like "Poor Jews Under Hitler"</b></a><b><br>
</b> By Graham Readfearn President Donald Trump is on the look-out
for a chief science adviser, but who to choose?...<br>
<blockquote> If his most recent appointments are any indication of
the future, then, on climate change at least, Americans should
expect the president to tap a climate science denier....<br>
So it is little surprise then that one person reportedly in the
running is 77-year-old Princeton atomic physicist William
Happer....<br>
Happer has for more than a decade rejected all the credible
evidence on the risks of human-caused climate change. He is often
described as an "expert" on climate change, yet his record of
publishing research on the issue in peer-reviewed scientific
journals is almost non-existent...<br>
Happer's expertise is in atomic physics. He served in the George
H.W. Bush administration as a science director...<br>
But since the late 90s, Happer has become known for his outspoken
and often offensive views on climate change and climate
scientists, whom he has described as being "more like a cult."...<br>
"They're glassy-eyed and they chant. It will potentially harm the
image of all science," he told The Guardian...<br>
He has also claimed that the "demonization" of carbon dioxide is
like the "demonization of poor Jews under Hitler."...<br>
In recent times Happer has been associating with conspiracy
theorists and other oddballs as he rolls out the same talking
points that have been his staple for years. ..<br>
Since the mid-2000s, Happer was involved with the George C.
Marshall Institute, a think tank that concentrated heavily on
pushing claims that global warming concerns had been over-hyped.
Happer was a former chair of the institute — one of many to take
cash from oil giant ExxonMobil...<br>
Happer is now the president of the CO2 Coalition — a group created
after the Marshall Institute folded — with the tagline that carbon
dioxide (CO2) is "vital for life." <br>

<font size="+1">March 1, 2002: The New York Times reports:<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font size="+1">"Eighteen of the energy industry's top
25 financial contributors to the Republican Party advised Vice
President Dick Cheney's national energy task force last year,
according to interviews and election records.</font><br>
<font size="+1">"Critics of the Bush administration's energy
policy have long suspected that many of the corporations that
were invited to advise the White House were large energy
concerns that had contributed heavily to President Bush's
campaign and the Republican Party in 2000. The White House has
refused to release the names of the companies and individuals
consulted during the formulation of the administration's energy
policy last spring. It has been sued for the information.</font><br>
<font size="+1">"But interviews and task force correspondence
demonstrate an apparent correlation between large campaign
contributions and access to Mr. Cheney's task force. Of the top
25 energy industry donors to the Republican Party before the
November 2000 election, 18 corporations sent executives or
representatives to meet with Mr. Cheney, the task force
chairman, or members of the task force and its staff. The
companies include the Enron Corporation, the Southern Company,
the Exelon Corporation, BP, the TXU Corporation, FirstEnergy and
Anadarko Petroleum."</font><br>
