<blockquote> Work done by researchers at Georgia Tech says severe
winter air pollution problems in China may be worsened by changes
in atmospheric circulation prompted by Arctic sea ice loss and
increased Eurasian snowfall – both caused by global climate
change...<br>
According to a report on the school's website, modeling and data
analysis done at Georgia Tech suggest sea ice and snowfall changes
have shifted China's winter monsoon, helping create stagnant
atmospheric conditions that trap pollution over the country's
major population and industrial centers. Those changes in regional
atmospheric conditions are frustrating efforts to address
pollution through emission controls...<br>
"The reductions in sea ice and increase in snowfall have the
effect of damping the climatological pressure ridge structure over
China. That flattens the temperature and pressure gradients and
moves the East Asian Winter Monsoon to the east, decreasing wind
speeds and creating an atmospheric circulation that makes the air
in China more stagnant," Wang says in the report...<br>
He added, "The very rapid change in polar warming is really having
a large impact on China. That gives China an incentive to not only
follow through on air pollutant emission reductions, and also to
look at the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our
research shows that cutting greenhouse gases would help with the
winter haze problem."<br>

For Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, climate change represents a
significant national security threat, one that's "impacting
stability in areas of the world where our troops are operating
today," according his written testimony to Congress provided in
January ahead of his confirmation. The news site ProPublica was
first to publish Mattis' remarks, pitting the retired Marine
general's views against those held by the commander in chief and
others in his administration. <br>
The topic has renewed relevance as the White House aims to grow
defense spending substantially — hoping to add personnel, and buy
more ships, aircraft and weapons - while making major reductions
to other parts of the federal budget, including at the
Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, which researches climate change and
provides weather forecasting data to the military... <br>
Prior to the revolution in Syria, which has led to a six-year
civil war, the region was experiencing one of its worst droughts
ever recorded. And although it was not a factor in starting the
conflict, which has left an estimated 500,000 dead and caused more
than 11 million to flee their homes, climate did create the
conditions for mass displacement, Femia said. And researchers have
predicated that will only get worse, with large swaths of the
Middle East and North Africa becoming increasingly uninhabitable.
<br>
So Mattis' recent comments on climate change represent a
"practical view of what the military needs to do," he added. It's
an issue that has crossed previous administrations, both
Republican and Democratic, and demonstrates the Pentagon has
"thought about this in an apolitical way." <br>

Trump to Drop Climate Change From Environmental Reviews,
Source Says </a></b></font><br>
<blockquote>President Donald Trump is set to sign a sweeping
directive to dramatically shrink the role climate change plays in
decisions across the government, ranging from appliance standards
to pipeline approvals, according to a person familiar with the
administration's plan....<br>
The order, which could be signed this week, goes far beyond a
targeted assault on Obama-era measures blocking coal leasing and
throttling greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that has
been discussed for weeks. Some of the changes could happen
immediately; others could take years to implement...<br>
It aims to reverse President Barack Obama's broad approach for
addressing climate change. One Obama-era policy instructed
government agencies to factor climate change into formal
environmental reviews, such as that for the Keystone XL pipeline.
Trump's order also will compel a reconsideration of the
government's use of a metric known as the "social cost of carbon"
that reflects the potential economic damage from climate change.
It was used by the Obama administration to justify a suite of
regulations.<br>

<blockquote> In a published interview, then-Rep. Wayne Gilchrest
(R-MD) notes that he was blocked from being appointed to the
bipartisan Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global
Warming by House Minority Leader John Boehner because Gilchrest
refused to disavow the overwhelming evidence of human-caused
climate change. Gilchrest also notes that fellow Republican Roy
Blunt of Missouri "…said he didn't think there was enough evidence
to suggest that humans are causing global warming," Gilchrest
said. "Right there, holy cow, there's like 9,000 scientists to
three on that one."<br>
