"The annual mean air temperature of a city can be 4° to 11°F
warmer than surrounding rural areas during the day, and 4° to 9°F
warmer at night. Vegetation-rich green roofs can mitigate this
urban heat-island effect, lowering the temperature by more than
5°F on the hottest days; plants also help manage excess storm
water."<br>

<blockquote>Climate change is political. Should planners talk about
something else?<br>
These changes are the result of climate change, after all, a
phenomenon dismissed by the Republican Party as a political scheme
of United Nations bureaucrats.<br>
The word they are using to do so, more and more, is resilience.
Once seen as a kind of stopgap strategy, resilience has become the
modus operandi of climate planning. To be resilient now means to
encompass all previous climate change strategies: to resist, to
mitigate, and to adapt. Its use in international climate research
and U.S. academic papers has multiplied over the past few
decades...<br>
The 2015 PREPARE Act, a bipartisan bill to help the federal
government recover from extreme weather events, does not mention
climate change or global warming. But it uses the term resilience
40 times.<br>
"We see this word more and more, and the more we see it, the less
we know what it means," added her colleague Gregor Schuurman.
"Somewhere there is a danger of saying to the lay public,
'Everything is going to be resilient.' "<br>

Disasters Reveal Terrifying Future of Climate Change</a></b><br>
<blockquote>Plagues, famines, heat waves—sudden changes in climate
have been deadly for humans.<br>
Human activity is altering our climate. The vast majority of
scientists agree on that. But there is disagreement about the rate
at which it is happening and how it will impact us. Surprisingly,
the answers to what our future holds with climate change may lie
in the past, especially how it will affect our health. This is the
path that Australian public health expert Anthony McMichael sought
to pursue in Climate Change and the Health of Nations: Famines,
Fevers, and the Fate of Populations.<br>

Rush to Save Government Science Data — If They Can Find It</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote>"Destroying federal records is a crime," said Patrice
McDermott, who heads a public advocacy organization called Open
the Government. "Taking them off of the internet does not have the
same penalty."<br>
<br>
"In a Trump administration that has made clear its disdain for the
copious evidence that human activity is warming the planet,
researchers feared a broad crusade against the scientific
information provided to the public. Reports last week that the
administration is proposing deep budget cuts for government
agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency have fueled
new fears of databases being axed, if only as a cost-saving
measure.<br>
<br>
"'We'll probably be saying goodbye to much of the invaluable data
housed at the NCEI,' Anne Jefferson, a water hydrology professor
at Kent State University, wrote on Twitter Saturday, referring to
the National Centers for Environmental Information. "Hope it gets
rescued in time."<br>
It is illegal to destroy government data, but agencies can make it
more difficult to find by revising websites and creating other
barriers to the underlying information.<br>
<br>
"Already there have been a handful of changes to the websites of
federal science agencies, according to the Environmental Data and
Governance Initiative, a new organization with researchers
monitoring the content. On the E.P.A.'s website, for instance, the
science and technology office had described as its mission the
development of 'scientific and technological foundations to
achieve clean water.' Now the office says the goal is to develop
'economically and technologically achievable performance
standards.'<br>
<br>
"Pie charts on a Department of Energy website illustrating the
link between coal and greenhouse gas emissions also have
disappeared. So has the description on an Interior Department page
of the potential environmental effects of hydraulic fracturing on
federal land.<br>
<br>
"Changes like these appear only to reflect the publicly stated
priorities of the new administration and there have been few signs
as yet that federal databases are being systematically manipulated
or restricted.<br>
<br>
"But concern about the vulnerability of scientific information has
also focused attention on a nonpartisan problem of digital-age
government: Much of the scientific information so painstakingly
collected over the decades, at a cost of hundreds of billions of
dollars, remains held only by the government, scattered on
thousands of servers in hundreds of departments where it may not
be backed up and could be impossible to find."<br>
<br>
In a recent letter to the federal Office of Management and Budget,
Ms. McDermott's group cited a clause in the 1995 Paperwork
Reduction Act that requires agencies to "provide adequate notice
when initiating, substantially modifying, or terminating
significant information dissemination products."<br>
<br>
But what that means for the age of big data has not been defined.<br>
<br>
To make secure copies of government research that researchers can
trust is no easy task, librarians say. But many of those who have
been trying for years to find funding and a system to do it
reliably hope to harness the current wave of interest.<br>
<br>
"At the moment, more people than ever are aware of the risk of
relying solely on the government to preserve its own
information,'' two government document librarians, James A.
Jacobs, of the University of California, San Diego, and James R.
Jacobs of Stanford University, wrote in an essay circulated online
last week. "This was not true even six months ago.''<br>
<br>
At the archiving events, participants are typically divided into
groups. One uses a web browser extension to flag government web
addresses for the Internet Archive, an existing service that
operates an automated "web crawler" that can make copies of
federal websites but typically not the databases that store
information in more exotic formats.<br>
<br>
Another group is tasked with scrutinizing data sets that
researchers have identified as particularly useful or vulnerable.
Those are "tagged" with a description of where they came from and
what they are.<br>
<br>
At one of last month's events, at New York University, many
marveled at the breadth and depth of the research they were
sorting through, even as they worried about its future.<br>
<br>
"Look, you can get temperature and salinity readings from any one
of these buoys,'' said Barbara Thiers, the vice president for
science at the New York Botanical Garden, another participant.
"This is the raw data for tracking ocean warming.'' <font

<b><a href="http://carboncounter.com/">An App to Help Save Emissions
(and Maybe Money) When Buying a Car</a></b><br>
<blockquote> How much is your car contributing to climate change? A
new study can tell you.<br>
The research looks at 125 cars on today's roads and measures not
just their mileage and the type of fuel they use, but also the
greenhouse gases generated in making the cars and, if they are
electric vehicles, the greenhouse gases produced by the power
plants that provide their juice.<br>
Our results show that you don't have to pay more for a
low-carbon-emitting vehicle. Many electric vehicles are the same
price, or cheaper, than similar gasoline cars. The average
greenhouse gas emissions of all cars shown here are more than 50%
higher than the 2030 climate target, with no internal combustion
vehicles meeting the target. Most hybrid and electric vehicles, on
the other hand, already meet the 2030 goal today.<br>

Evacuations</b></font></a></font><br>
<blockquote>Woodward, Oklahoma - Multiple wildfires in northwest
Oklahoma are prompting evacuations of multiple towns, authorities
told News 9 StormTracker Marty Logan.<br>
The Woodward County emergency manager said the residents in
Buffalo, Laverne and north central Woodward County are being
evacuated. The City of Woodward is currently safe but residents
are asked to monitor conditions in case there is a change of wind
direction...<br>
About 7:30 p.m., an evacuation warning was issued for the town of
Fort Supply. Residents are asked to go to a shelter at the Pioneer
Room, 1212 9th Street, in Woodward...<br>
The prison at Fort Supply was not included in the evacuation
warning but the department of corrections said they are monitoring
the situation...<br>
Multiple fires were reported near Laverne and Buffalo, the Harper
County emergency manager reported. The Laverne fire moved into
Woodward County, and the fire line is about 25 miles in length.
The Freedom, Dacoma and Greenleaf fire departments from Woods
County responded to the fire. Major and Custer counties also sent
task forces to assist with Harper and Woodward county fires...<br>
A fire in Beaver County east of Forgan has reportedly burned more
than 10,000 acres in Oklahoma and more than 40,000 acres in
Kansas, the the state emergency management department reported. ..<br>
At least nine homes were lost due to the fire in Laverne and
Woodward County, Logan said. At least 200 heads of cattle were
lost as well.</blockquote>

<blockquote><font size="+1"><font size="+1">"ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox
collectively spent five percent less time covering climate
change in 2015, even though there were more newsworthy
climate-related events than ever before, including the EPA
finalizing the Clean Power Plan, Pope Francis issuing a
climate change encyclical, President Obama rejecting the
Keystone XL pipeline, and 195 countries around the world
reaching a historic climate agreement in Paris. The decline
was primarily driven by ABC, whose climate coverage dropped by
59 percent; the only network to dramatically increase its
climate coverage was Fox, but that increase largely consisted
of criticism of efforts to address climate change. When the
networks did discuss climate change, they rarely addressed its
impacts on national security, the economy, or public health,
yet most still found time to provide a forum for climate
science denial. On a more positive note, CBS and NBC -- and
PBS, which was assessed separately -- aired many segments that
explored the state of scientific research or detailed how
climate change is affecting extreme weather, plants, and
wildlife."</font></font><br>
