<blockquote> On a particularly bad day for Earth's wellbeing – the
EPA revealed massive budgetary cuts while the Trump administration
waffled on the Paris Agreement on climate change –
environmentalist and 350.org founder Bill McKibben appeared on
Real Time With Bill Maher to discuss the dire situation and how
the American people can fight back.<br>
"The level of complete corruption from the fossil fuel industry
that marks this administration is like nothing we've ever seen," <br>

Charges: Exxon<font color="#000099">'</font>s End Game Theory</a></b></font><br>
by JEFFREY ST. CLAIR<br>
<blockquote>Despite what you may have heard from the Sierra Club,
Rex Tillerson is not a climate change denier. He is something far
more dangerous. Tillerson knows climate change is taking place. He
was in position to possibly do something about it, evaluated his
options and coolly chose not to change course...<br>
...One of the big problems confronting Tillerson the day he took
over the reins was the fact that the very scientists at MIT and
Stanford who had been cashing Exxon's checks for decades to churn
out white papers questioning whether fossil fuel emissions were a
driving force beyond climate change, had begun to change their
tune... MIT's Global System Model, largely underwritten by Exxon,
forecast a 2.4-degree-centigrade rise in global temperatures over
the next hundred years. By 2006, those same scientists had more
than doubled that estimate. Exxon faced the prospect of being
betrayed by their own bought science.<br>
<br>
During the early days of the Iraq War, Exxon set up a special team
to run war games on how the invasion would affect the oil industry
in terms of pricing, supply and distribution
networks....Tillerson...decided to use a similar technique to help
chart the company's new climate change strategy.<br>
<br>
Tillerson wanted his secret squad of climate change gamers to
answer four questions: <br>
1. Is climate change real? <br>
2. Is the threat serious? <br>
3. Are there any effective actions that can be taken to halt or
reverse climate change or mitigate the damage? <br>
<b>4. Are the world's leading carbon emitters likely to impose
binding limits on emissions in time to prevent runaway climate
change? </b><br>
The answer to the first two questions was "yes". The answer to the
third question was "maybe" and the fourth "no".<br>
<br>
The lesson Tillerson took from this assessment was that climate
change is a serious threat and no government has the will or
perhaps even the means to confront it. Thus, the only responsible
thing to do for the shareholders of Exxon was to push forward
aggressively with exploration and development of new oil fields
and ventures, from Amazonia to Russia, before some other company
captured the reserves. Internally, this became known as the "end
game" scenario.<br>
<br>
As CEO of Trump's foreign policy enterprise, Tillerson seems
likely to impose this cynical template on the world at large by
forging new alliances with old rivals in kind of a Pax petroliana,
where the body count of hot wars will be replaced by the hidden,
slow deaths caused by an atmosphere gone lethal.<br>

Dozen Doozies: Setting the Record Straight on Richard Lindzen's
Letter to President Trump</a></b><br>
<blockquote>The climate deniers are at it again. If I had to guess,
I'd say they wanted the climate deniers in Congress and fossil
fuel funded think tanks to have a letter to wave around every time
someone mentions the fact that 97% of climate scientists agree
that human-caused climate change is underway. And perhaps they
wanted something whenever reference is made to a letter by 376
Nobel laureates and members of the U.S. National Academy of
Sciences asking President Trump to commit to the Paris Climate
Agreement and calling it a, "…historic and vital first step
towards more enlightened stewardship of Earth's climate system."<br>
This <a
href="http://blog.ucsusa.org/wp-content/uploads/annotated-lindzen-letter.jpg">latest
denier effort is a letter</a> from Richard Lindzen along with a
petition signed by 300 plus people. John Abraham, a climate and
energy researcher at University of St. Thomas (MN), has already
reviewed the petition signers and found many to have limited to
irrelevant credentials related to the causes and consequences of a
disrupted climate. <br>

class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight:
normal;">global warming</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Thursday
during his sixth annual State of the University address.<br>
Kaler, who holds a Ph.D. in chemical engineering and is a member
of the National Academy of Engineering, criticized powerful
skeptics — among them President Donald Trump — for acting in their
own interests instead of addressing the problem.<br>
Following are Kaler's prepared remarks on the subject:<br>
I don't usually quote others, but this from the British
philosopher and scholar Bertrand Russell is as relevant today as
it was 100 years ago. Here's what Russell said … and pardon the
19th century gender specificity:<br>
</div>
<blockquote>"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his
instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and — unless the
evidence is overwhelming — he will refuse to believe it.<br>
"If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a
reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept
it even on the slightest evidence."<br>
Then, Russell added: "The origin of myths is explained in this
way."<br>
The University of Minnesota does not operate on myths.<br>
...Let me come back to Bertrand Russell's words and the current
attacks on facts and science.<br>
Allow me to put on my chemical engineer hat for a moment.<br>
It is an unavoidable fact of chemistry that the combustion of a
hydrocarbon in air leads to the production of carbon dioxide.<br>
It is an unavoidable fact that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.<br>
Greenhouse gases include water vapor, ozone, carbon dioxide, and
methane and they capture outgoing infrared energy from the Earth,
thereby warming the planet.<br>
Consequently, increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the
Earth's atmosphere will cause changes in the convective patterns
in the atmosphere, and the climate we experience will change.<br>
It is an unavoidable fact that if the mean temperature of the
oceans increases, the water level will rise.<br>
This is because the coefficient of thermal expansion for water is
positive.<br>
And it is an unavoidable fact that many coastal regions are not
far above the current average sea level and therefore are
vulnerable to flooding and ultimately inundation.<br>
That's even before the ice melts.<br>
So why in the world would we not plan for this? We don't plan
because some powerful voices call climate change or global warming
a hoax and well-organized groups with great financial and
political power call it a scam.<br>
And someone — someone — once Tweeted, "The concept of global
warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S.
manufacturing non-competitive."<br>
In fact, climate change and what is known as global warming was
studied by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group
created by the United Nations including thousands of scientists
from over 100 countries.<br>
For their work, they shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. And
evidence shows the climate IS changing.<br>
So here we are back to Bertrand Russell's words — we are an
institution that is dedicated to the honoring of facts and
science, not myths.<br>
We are also dedicated to the thoughtful, unbiased scrutiny of
culture and values.<br>
There can be no wavering.<br>
If our ability to conduct our research at this University is
hindered by those with self interest or political agendas, we must
fight that.<br>
We are committed to academic freedom and to the facts.<br>
Our ethos is this: If our studies and research are legal and
ethical, we will follow science and inquiry where it leads us.
That is at our core.</blockquote>

It's a curious fact that should you find yourself at the bottom of
the ocean almost anywhere on the planet, the water temperature will
be uniformly near zero degrees.<br>
That hasn't always been the case. Tropical seabeds 65 million years
ago were about 15 degrees when temperatures were higher, says Ian
Simmonds, a professor at Melbourne University's School of Earth
Sciences.<br>

ocean danger as temperatures rise</a></b></font><br>
Warming seas and increasing acidification could mean starvation and
extinction for creatures that live in the abyss of the deep ocean.<br>
By Tim Radford<br>
LONDON, 3 March, 2017 – Climate change could dramatically alter the
least accessible, most unknown habitat on the planet − the deep
ocean floor.<br>
Warming seas, the increasing acidification of the oceans and the
loss of oxygen from seawater could destroy ecosystems in the ocean's
dark abyss, and drastically change the biodiversity of the deep sea,
according to new research.<br>
Around 70% of the planet is covered by water. The deep ocean floor,
kilometres below the surface, remains largely unexplored, but
repeated dives and exploration by submersibles have revealed
glimpses of an extraordinary and unexpected set of ecosystems, far
from the sun's radiation.<br>
However, a new study published in Elementa journal warns that
changes at the surface could have profound consequences far below.<br>

impacts of climate change on deep-sea benthic ecosystems</a></font></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Abstract<br>
The deep sea encompasses the largest ecosystems on Earth.
Although poorly known, deep seafloor ecosystems provide services
that are vitally important to the entire ocean and biosphere.
Rising atmospheric greenhouse gases are bringing about
significant changes in the environmental properties of the ocean
realm in terms of water column oxygenation, temperature, pH and
food supply, with concomitant impacts on deep-sea ecosystems.
Projections suggest that abyssal (3000–6000 m) ocean
temperatures could increase by 1°C over the next 84 years, while
abyssal seafloor habitats under areas of deep-water formation
may experience reductions in water column oxygen concentrations
by as much as 0.03 mL L–1 by 2100. Bathyal depths (200–3000 m)
worldwide will undergo the most significant reductions in pH in
all oceans by the year 2100 (0.29 to 0.37 pH units). O2
concentrations will also decline in the bathyal NE Pacific and
Southern Oceans, with losses up to 3.7% or more, especially at
intermediate depths. Another important environmental parameter,
the flux of particulate organic matter to the seafloor, is
likely to decline significantly in most oceans, most notably in
the abyssal and bathyal Indian Ocean where it is predicted to
decrease by 40–55% by the end of the century. Unfortunately, how
these major changes will affect deep-seafloor ecosystems is, in
some cases, very poorly understood. In this paper, we provide a
detailed overview of the impacts of these changing environmental
parameters on deep-seafloor ecosystems that will most likely be
seen by 2100 in continental margin, abyssal and polar settings.
We also consider how these changes may combine with other
anthropogenic stressors (e.g., fishing, mineral mining, oil and
gas extraction) to further impact deep-seafloor ecosystems and
discuss the possible societal implications.</font> <br>
</blockquote>
"We will likely see a shift in dominance to smaller organisms. Some
species will thrive, some will migrate to other areas, and many will
die. Parts of the world will likely have more jellyfish and squid,
for example, and fewer fish and cold water corals."<br>
He and colleagues looked at forecasts, derived from 31 Earth model
systems developed for climate change research, to predict how oxygen
levels, acidity, temperature and food supply would change for the
creatures of the deep ocean floor by 2100...<br>
The deepest reaches of the North Atlantic, Southern and Arctic
Oceans could become between 0.5°C and 1°C warmer. In mid-ocean – at
between 3,000 metres and 200 metres depth – temperatures in the
Pacific and Arctic could become 4°C warmer...<br>
Sea creatures are finely attuned to a particular water chemistry and
temperature, and marine biologists have repeatedly observed shifts
in fish populations with changes so far of only a fraction of a
degree. A shift of 4°C in an ecosystem has no precedent in human
history.<br>

Longstanding theories dating to the 1980s suggest that as the rest
of the earth warms, the tropical temperatures would be strictly
limited, or regulated by an internal 'thermostat.' These theories
are controversial, but the debate is of great importance because
the tropics and subtropics comprise half of the earth's surface
area, greater than half of the earth's biodiversity, as well as
over half the earth's human population. But new geological and
climate-based research indicates the tropics may have reached a
temperature 56 million years ago that was, indeed, too hot for
living organisms to survive in parts of the tropics.<br>

Security Conference: Climate on the Agenda – What<font
color="#666666">'</font>s Next?</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote> Climate change was higher on the Munich Security
Conference agenda than it has been in previous years, with a
more-prominent panel and mentions by other speakers during the
event, including EU High Representative/EC Vice-President Federica
Mogherini, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, and Bill
Gates...<br>
The panel "Climate Security: Good COP, Bad Cops" was given the
central question: how can the security community help put nations
of the world on a path to exceed commitments on climate change and
sustainable development?...<br>
Panelists spoke effectively to the "what": how climate change is
impacting their countries/regions, the nature of climate and
security interactions, what they're doing to meet climate goals
and the need for countries to keep their commitments to the Paris
climate agreement...<br>
They identified climate change as a global megatrend that must be
addressed in order to "build a culture of prevention for long-term
peace and prosperity," and noted the security community's broad
acceptance of climate change as a security issue: that this
community, "with its long-term view, knows that what's happening
now is just the start."<br>
...To the panel's central question: having security community
members communicate their analysis of climate security risks in
this fora, along with what's at stake (where does the science tell
us we are at, what are the implications for the security
community's ability to maintain stability), and detail how this
analysis has informed decision-making in other branches of
government (what inter-agency processes have worked, lessons for
other governments), would lay the groundwork for substantively
addressing this high-probability, high-impact driver of insecurity
going forward...<br>
In her introduction, former Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs
and UNFCCC Executive Secretary Patricia Espinoza noted that the
narrative on climate change needs to shift to security. She said:
"This story, this narrative, this link between a stable climate
and human development needed for security – this is the story that
needs to be told. More people need to understand, because this
story's ending is uncertain. It is currently being written."...<br>
She's right. However, the security community's been trying to tell
us that since 1990. In this context, it's time for world leaders
to develop concrete next steps for ensuring that our response is

change computer model vindicated 30 years later by what has
actually happened</a></b></font><br>
Sceptics have long sneered at climate models but one made in the
late 1980s has proved remarkably prophetic..<br>
Nearly 30 years ago, scientists developed a computer model of the
Earth's climate that predicted the level of global warming – to the
ridicule of 'sceptics' at a time when there still seemed to be a
debate over the issue.<br>
Now two leading researchers have compared the model's results with
what actually happened over the last three decades and, to their
surprise, found they were "very similar"..<br>
