    <blockquote>BOISE - The Idaho Legislature on Wednesday had its
      first-ever hearing on the issue of global climate change.<br>
      Rubel said she organized the hearing because climate change is a
      large problem, and there is no indication the federal government
      is going to do anything about it...<br>
      The meeting wasn't convened by the Senate Resources and
      Environment committee, nor by the House Environment, Energy and
      Technology Committee - though the chairman and vice chairman of
      the House committee, Rep. Dell Raybould, R-Rexburg, and Rep. Jeff
      Thompson, R-Idaho Falls, were in the audience. Instead, the House
      Democratic Caucus held the meeting...<br>
      Attendance was heavy, more than for any other hearing this
      session. The largest hearing room was packed with perhaps 400
      people, and another three overflow rooms were filled with those
      who couldn't fit.<br>
      Rubel said she organized the hearing because climate change is a
      large problem, and there is no indication the federal government
      is going to do anything about it.<br>
      Rubel said with federal inaction the state has several options it
      could pursue to rein in local carbon emissions, from incentives to
      switch to solar power to increasing fuel efficiency standards...<br>
      "Many states are doing these things," Rubel said. "We are doing
      none of them."<br>

    <blockquote>It is not just timing that has changed, though. A recent
      global survey found that climate change had affected 82 percent of
      the biological processes that underpin all life...<br>
      And yet, even when faced with mountains of scientific evidence
      that our actions are remaking the fabric of the world, our
      societal response has been, at best, modest. Why do we not act?
      The unusual spring teaches us not just about tree leaves and frog
      calls, but about the human psychology of climate change. The
      uneasy mix of pleasure and dread in weird spring weather reaches
      inside us in a way that trend lines on graphs never will. Lived
      experience moves us. Data does not...<br>
      A necessary complement to the objectivity of science, then, is the
      subjectivity of experience. An enthusiastic openness to the lives
      of other species - the timing of tree blooms on city streets, the
      calls of frogs in wetlands or the arrival of migratory birds - is
      an act of resistance to deceptions and manipulations that work
      most powerfully when we're ignorant. "Post-truth" does not exist
      in the opening of tree buds...<br>
      The next generations will have no living memory of our time. We
      must go outside and pay attention, then weave this experience into
      the future, telling our children, students and friends what we
      saw, heard and smelled in this season formerly known as spring.<br>

    <blockquote>The case could prove even more consequential with the
      change of administration because of President Trump's efforts to
      roll back climate regulations put in place by his predecessor. 
      Last week, the Trump administration shifted course on the case and
      asked that a federal appeals court review Judge Aiken's decision
      to proceed to trial...<br>
      "Whatever happens next, this is a case to watch," says Michael
      Burger, a Columbia University law professor and specialist in
      climate law. "It's out there, ahead of the curve. And given the
      change in administration and President Trump's views on climate
      change, this may be a potential hook to keep things moving along
      the climate change front. It may be the opening salvo in what will
      be an increasing number of lawsuits that take a rights-based
      approach to climate change in the United States."...<br>
      The climate change lawsuit makes essentially a straightforward
      request. It asks a federal judge to order the government to write
      a recovery plan to reduce carbon emissions to 350 parts per
      million by 2100 (down from 400 parts per million) and stabilize
      the climate system.<br>
      The courts are needed to step in, Olson argued, because the
      government has not—despite knowing for more than 50 years that the
      burning of fossil fuels causes global warming....<br>

      Two days after the government's motions were filed, EPA
      Administrator Scott Pruitt swept aside established science on the
      connection between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming and
      declared that "carbon dioxide is not a primary contributor to the

      "We are confronting a serious climatic problem," said Peru's

      Friday afternoon. "There hasn't been an incident of this strength
      along the coast of Peru since 1998."..<br>
      The disaster - which came after a period of severe drought - has
      been blamed on abnormally high temperatures in the Pacific Ocean,
