Report's authors say Sydney unprepared for knock-on effects of a
significant increase in average summer temperatures.<br>
"In the future, a summer as hot as this past summer in NSW is likely
to happen roughly once every five years," the report said.<br>
(Australia) Energy regulators warned last month that the electricity
network was not equipped to supply enough power to cover the demand
from air conditioners in Sydney for the the heatwave on 9 to 11

<blockquote> Conservatives have a knee-jerk reactions to the phrase,
so environmentalists are finding ways to reframe the issue.<br>
The election of Donald Trump as president is catastrophic in many
ways, but perhaps one of the worst is what it means for the
environment.<br>
The grim fact of the matter is that we cannot count on the federal
government to step up efforts to deal with climate change — for
the next four years at least. So some scientists are turning
toward leaders in local governments, hoping they can use what
power they have to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the damage
already being created by global warming.<br>
...The problem is that many communities have conservative
populations that, for ideological reasons, refuse to accept that
climate change is real, and as such will resist local leaders who
attempt interventions that appear to be rooted in an acceptance of
the scientific facts. But there may be a way to prompt
conservative constituents to agree to actions that would address
climate change: packaging the policies using other terms.<br>
... Some of the city mayors that Romsdahl's team spoke with
explicitly understood that framing environmental policies in terms
of self-interest, rather than mentioning the fight against climate
change, was a political necessity.<br>
...One mayor, for instance, told researchers pro-environment
policies were best framed in "terms of economic benefit [and]
resource protection" because it was necessary to "garner support
from residents who did not agree with climate change."<br>
...It's a shame that anything associated with liberal ideology is
so demonized that rational discussions with conservatives become
nearly impossible. We see this problem with the Affordable Care
Act as well. When it's called "Obamacare," many conservatives will
refuse to support it, even if they like the specific policies
contained in the law.<br>
...Unfortunately, we can't wait around for conservatives to get
over themselves in order to deal with the problem of climate
change. The effects are happening now and must be dealt with. If
reframing the issue in terms that are easier for conservatives to
swallow helps get important policy changes in motion, activists
and leaders shouldn't hesitate to use a little spin.<br>

<blockquote> ..Now we are entering a period of adaptation, in which
we must try to reduce the impact of the coming changes. Examples
include changing agricultural practices, erecting seawalls, and
new approaches to architecture and living arrangements...<br>
In some ways it is a relief to articulate ways to adapt to climate
change. More coping options are better than fewer, right? Well,
not necessarily. Their costs and risks differ, their effects are
uncertain and varied, and decisions that will drive their
deployment can derive from radically different evaluations and
judgments...<br>
We should not choose between mitigation or adaptation because we
need both. We cannot lose sight of this dual need. But we will
continue to face very demanding decisions about how to allocate
finite resources – money, time, effort and so on – across multiple
strategic options. This is where tomorrow’s difficult
conversations will unfold...<br>
Theories offer competing predictions on whether engaging in
adaptation will reduce our mitigation efforts. People may feel
less urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through mitigation
if we interpret our adaptation as progress and preparedness,
lessening our “felt need” to mitigate...<br>
On the other hand, people may come to see both mitigation and
adaptation as a commitment to doing all that is needed to cope
with climate change, and view the two solution strategies as
complementary rather than substitutes.<br>

<blockquote> The device that Lackner's using to capture carbon

an absorptive material. It's made up of a hard plastic resin – a
synthetic analogue of natural substances like amber — that has
been crushed into tiny pieces and then embedded in strips of
softer plastic. And Lackner has shown that in the open air, it
binds to that invisible gas that has caused the world so much
trouble — carbon dioxide — and so acts as a kind of sponge to pull
it out of the atmosphere.<br>

A new study has discovered that tens of thousands of miles of

to recent research that shows an accelerating decline in
permafrost in Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia....<br>
The disintegration of permafrost throughout the Arctic Circle
portends a massive release of carbon, both into the surrounding
