<blockquote>There is a school of thought that says we will reach a
tipping point with climate change, after which it will be too late
to avoid a cascade of changes.<br>
Ralph Keeling, the originator of the famous Keeling Curve, said
"it already seems safe to conclude that we won't be seeing a
monthly value below 400 ppm this year – or ever again for the
indefinite future."<br>
Let's consider what a tipping point actually is. The IPCC
describes it as "abrupt and irreversible change." Lenton, et al.
say it "will inevitably lead to a large change of the system,
i.e., independently of what might happen to the controls
thereafter." In other words, past the tipping point there will be
drastic changes even if we stop emitting CO2. Rather than staying
"well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels" as is
the target of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC), there could be warming of several degrees, with
associated sea level rise and rainfall changes...<br>
These mechanisms are not directly dependent on CO2 concentration;
they are triggered by warming alone. Given the amount of warming
in recent decades, it is not surprising that they are occurring...<br>
Regardless of whether we have passed the tipping point, continued
warming, rainfall pattern changes, significant sea level rise and
continued northward and vertical migration of plant and animal
species in the Northern Hemisphere seem certain. We are looking at
a changed world and must adapt to it....there are multiple
possible tipping points with different thresholds. Exceeding one
does not mean you cannot avoid another.<br>

smog events in China linked to melting ice cap, research
reveals</a></font></b><br>
<blockquote>Stagnant weather caused by fast-melting Arctic ice
helped create conditions for China's recent extreme air pollution
events, scientists say..<br>
Climate change played a major role in the extreme air pollution
events suffered recently by China and is likely to make such
"airpocalypses" more common, new research has revealed....<br>
The new research is convincing, according to Prof Jennifer
Francis, at Rutgers University in the US, who said people should
be concerned at the growing evidence that the thawing Arctic is
having major consequences further south. ..<br>
The researchers concluded that "extreme haze events in winter will
likely occur at a higher frequency in China" as climate change
continues to heat up the Arctic. Wang said this should drive an
increased urgency in cutting both air pollution and the carbon
emissions that cause global warming...<br>
"When you look at haze reduction, it is not just about reducing
emissions of air pollutants, it is also about reducing emissions
of greenhouses gases from China and all the other countries in the
world, so we can possibly slow down the rapidly changing Arctic
climate," Wang said...<br>
The emissions of greenhouse gases from human activity is
responsible for at least half, and possibly up to two-thirds, of
the fall in summer sea ice in the Arctic since the late 1970s,
according to recent research...<br>

<blockquote>Forty-five percent of Americans now say they worry "a
great deal" about global warming, up from 37% a year ago and well
above the recent low point of 25% in 2011.. <br>
- Americans worrying a great deal up eight percentage points to
45%<br>
- New high of 62% says effects of global warming are happening now<br>
- Belief that global warming poses a serious threat stretches to
42%<br>
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Record percentages of Americans are concerned
about global warming, believe it is occurring, consider it a
serious threat and say it is caused by human activity. All of
these perceptions are up significantly from 2015.<br>
Sixty-eight percent of Americans - the highest Gallup has recorded
- believe increases in Earth's temperatures over the last century
are mainly due to the effects of pollution from human activities.
Just 29% now attribute global warming to natural changes in the
environment. These opinions were gathered prior to the
Environmental Protection Agency chief, Scott Pruitt, saying he is
not persuaded that human activity is a primary factor in global
warming<br>

denier who once proclaimed, "God's still up there. The arrogance
of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change
what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous." - told CNN's
"New Day" on Thursday that Trump's plan will stop the EPA from
"brainwashing" children...<br>
"We're gonna take all this stuff that comes out of the EPA, that's
brainwashing our kids, that's propaganda, things that aren't true,
allegations," Inhofe said...<br>
Prior to making those comments, Inhofe had praised the Clean Act
Amendments as "very successful," arguing that "our air is cleaner,
the pollution is down in spite of the fact that we drive twice as
many miles."<br>

"The climate team was formed to handle breaking news stories
exactly like this one, along with bigger enterprise pieces like
last month's story on the water crisis in Mexico City," said
Hannah Fairfield, who leads the new group from Washington...<br>
The team, which has been around for a little longer than a month,
exists as its own desk in the newsroom (just like, say, the
national desk or the sports desk) and consists of editors and
reporters in New York and Washington. The goal, Ms. Fairfield
says, is to produce visual, explanatory and investigative
journalism at a time when, as today's article indicates, the
calamities caused by climate change seem to be intensifying...<br>
The plan was to produce a longer-term piece of enterprise
journalism - until Mr. Cave and Justin Gillis, who reported on the
story from New York, caught wind of a study (to be published today
as the cover article in the journal Nature) that detailed the
extent of the reef's destruction...<br>

<blockquote>Éanna Kelly, Science|Business<br>
Climate change is happening, as Alaska vividly demonstrates. Now
is time to prepare, says US ecologist Richard Boone, offering the
Netherlands as one role model...<br>
However, the US has no national plans to deal with rising sea
levels and no system to deal with uprooted people.<br>
The Dutch provide a good example of getting your act together in
time to avert ruin, Boone said. "Look [what they have] done to
protect themselves against the sea."<br>
The Netherlands, in its never-ending battle with water, runs an
ongoing multibillion-euro flood defence programme to tame rising
rivers, canals and the sea.<br>
We could all adopt the same attitude, said Boone. "Humans are
smart so I think eventually we will have the political will to do
something."<br>

decades has been at the core of California’s fight against air
