<blockquote> Seventeen Republican members of Congress from diverse
districts....submitted a resolution in the House Wednesday
acknowledging that "human activities" have had an impact on global
climate and resolving to create and support "economically viable"
mitigation efforts...<br>
The resolution, sponsored by representatives Elise Stefanik of New
York, Carlos Curbelo of Florida and Ryan Costello of Pennsylvania,
is being submitted in the midst of an unprecedented effort by the
most anti-science administration in recent American history to
remove climate science studies and data from federal agencies.<br>

-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255,
255);">There are distinct spheres of influence inside Donald
Trump's political operation. There's the Breitbart Wing, made up
on several White House aides who worked for the right-wing
website; the Goldman Sachs Wing, made up of a growing number of
folks who joined the administration after stints at the Wall
Street giant; and the Jeff Sessions Wing, which includes both the
U.S. Attorney General and some of his former Senate aides who now
hold key posts in the Trump administration...<br>
But let's not forget that Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), one of the
nation's highest profile climate deniers, seems to have a
contingent of his own. The Washington Post reported yesterday:<br>
At least half a dozen former aides to Inhofe – and counting – have
been hired into top positions at the EPA and the White House. The
chief of staff and deputy chief of staff to EPA Administrator
Scott Pruitt, a fellow Oklahoman and longtime friend of Inhofe,
spent years working for the senator. Pruitt's senior advisers on
air, climate and legal issues are Inhofe alumni. In addition, two
former Inhofe aides have become top domestic and international
energy and environmental advisers to President Trump. […]<br>
Ryan Jackson, Inhofe's former chief of staff, helps account for
part of why so many of the senator's aides are now helping guide
the administration's policymaking. Jackson, who helped shepherd
Pruitt's nomination, then became the administrator's chief of
staff and started tapping his former colleagues for top agency
posts.<br>
Stephen Brown, vice president for government affairs at Tesoro, a
major oil refiner, told the Post, "The Inhofe brigade has landed,
secured the beach and is moving inland with precision as well as
speed."<br>
"Inhofe was like the original climate-denier in chief. He was one
of the first people spouting this gibberish – fact-free but
dangerous gibberish," Gene Karpinski, president of the League of
Conservation Voters, told the Post. "Now he and his cronies have
far more reach and are far more dangerous than they've ever been….
That's good news for the polluters but horrible news for public
health."..<br>
Gallup published a report yesterday that found Americans' concerns
about the climate crisis have reached record highs, with most of
the public agreeing that global warming is occurring; it's a
serious threat; and it's the result of human activity...<br>
The Inhofe brigade isn't likely to care....<br>

<blockquote> Deeper soil layers more sensitive to warming than
previously thought, Berkeley Lab scientists find<br>
The scientists say these findings suggest the degree to which soil
organic carbon influences climate change may be currently
underestimated...<br>
"There's an assumption that carbon in the subsoil is more stable
and not as responsive to warming as in the topsoil, but we've
learned that's not the case," says Torn. "Deeper soil layers
contain a lot of carbon, and our work indicates it's a key missing
component in our understanding of the potential feedback of soils
to the planet's climate."..<br>
The research was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of
Science...<br>
Soils could release much more CO2 than expected into the
atmosphere as the climate warms, according to new research by
scientists from the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).<br>
Their findings are based on a field experiment that, for the first
time, explored what happens to organic carbon trapped in soil when
all soil layers are warmed, which in this case extend to a depth
of 100 centimeters. The scientists discovered that warming both
the surface and deeper soil layers at three experimental plots
increased the plots' annual release of CO2 by 34 to 37 percent
over non-warmed soil. Much of the CO2 originated from deeper
layers, indicating that deeper stores of carbon are more sensitive
to warming than previously thought.<br>
The paper, entitled "The whole soil carbon flux in response to
warming," will be published online by the journal Science on
Thursday, March 9, 2017<br>

policies in Australia - Headlines and Key findings</a><br>
<blockquote> Executive summary<br>
In the past 5 years (2011–16), environmental policies and
management practices in Australia have achieved improvements in
the state and trends of parts of the Australian environment.
Australia's built environment, natural and cultural heritage, and
marine and Antarctic environments are generally in good
condition...<br>
There are, however, areas where the condition of the environment
is poor and/or deteriorating. These include the more populated
coastal areas and some of the growth areas within urban
environments, where human pressure is greatest (particularly in
south-eastern Australia); and the extensive land-use zone of
Australia, where grazing is considered a major threat to
biodiversity...<br>
In Australia, the key drivers of environmental change are
population growth and economic activity. The extent to which these
drivers lead to environmental impacts depends on a range of
factors, ..<br>

<b><a

Medical Alert! Climate Change Is Harming Our Health</a></b><br>
Most Americans understand that climate change is real and are
concerned about it. But most still see climate change as a faraway
threat, in both time and place, and as something that threatens the
future of polar bears but not necessarily people. The reality,
however, is starkly different: climate change is already causing
problems in communities in every region of our nation, and from a
doctor's perspective, it's harming our health...<br>
Most Americans are not aware of the health harms of climate change.
A recent survey showed that most Americans have not considered how
global warming might affect people's health, and few (32%) can name
a specific way in which climate change is harming our health. Few
are aware that some groups of Americans - including our children,
our elders, the sick and the poor—are most likely to be harmed by
climate change. None of these survey findings is surprising. There
has been relatively little public discussion of the health harms of
climate change. But we also know people are eager to hear from us.
Most survey respondents said, in fact, that their primary care
physician is a trusted source for information about this topic...<br>
We—physicians in medical societies representing over half of the
nation's doctors—see a need to share our growing understanding and
concern about the health consequences of climate change with all
Americans.<br>

Powerful images from the #NativeNationsRise protests happening
in Washington, DC</a></b><br>
<blockquote> Tribes from around the county have been gathering in
Washington, D.C., for days, erecting teepees on the National Mall
near the White House.<br>
The protest follows months of demonstrations in a remote part of
North Dakota, where the Standing Rock Sioux tribe demonstrated in
an attempt to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline crossing upstream
from their reservation...<br>
That pipeline is being installed now, after Trump signed an
executive order last month smoothing the path for construction. He
also cleared the way for the Keystone XL project that would pipe
Canadian crude into the United States...<br>
The protesters, some wearing traditional tribal garb, carried
signs reading "Native Lives Matter", "Water is Life", and "Protect
the Water" while marching. ..<br>
The Native Nations March, organized by the Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe and the Indigenous Environmental Network, comes a month
after the Army greenlighted completion of the Dakota Access
Pipeline without an environmental study. ..<br>
"There's not a chance he's going to go to a reservation," Phillips
said. "There's not a chance he's going to go to the people to find
out what's going on." <br>

It's the biggest jump ever observed at the agency's Mauna Loa
