EDITORIAL BOARD) President Trump Risks the Planet</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote> That didn't take long.<br>
Only 10 weeks into his presidency, and at great risk to future
generations, Donald Trump has ordered the demolition of most of
President Barack Obama's policies to combat climate change by
reducing emissions from fossil fuels...<br>
The assault began with Mr. Trump's pledge in Detroit to roll back
fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, continued with a
stingy budget plan that would end funding for climate-related
scientific programs and reached an unhappy apex Tuesday with an
executive order that, among things, would rescind the centerpiece
of Mr. Obama's clean power strategy, a rule that would shut down
hundreds of old coal-fired power plants and freeze the
construction of new ones...<br>
None of this was unexpected from a man who has described climate
change as a hoax invented by the Chinese to destroy American
industry and who has surrounded himself with cabinet officers and
assistants who know or care little about the issue of global
warming and its consequences — and who, in many cases, owe their
political success to the largess of the oil, gas and coal
companies...<br>
This raises two very real dangers. Either other big countries also
pull out of the agreement. Or they decide to seize the initiative
on clean energy sources, which would be good for the climate but
bad for American industry....<br>
Are there ways to avert this madness? Yes. Mr. Trump's orders will
not take effect right away. The E.P.A. will need a year or longer
to develop a replacement for the Clean Power Plan. Progressive
states like California and New York will almost surely proceed
with their own initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases. And then
there is public opinion. It punished the Republicans severely in
1994 when Newt Gingrich and his allies tried to roll back
environmental laws. It punished them again in 2008 after eight
years of denialism and prevarication on climate change under
George W. Bush and his fossil fuel acolyte, Dick Cheney. There is
time enough before Mr. Trump's ignorance translates into actual
policy for the public to make its opposition to this anti-science
agenda felt again.<br>

<blockquote> BlackRock and SSGA have made climate change a priority
for company engagement.<br>
...one of the world's greatest investors, GMO co-founder Jeremy
Grantham, in a livestream for the Morningstar Institutional
Conference in Amsterdam. Grantham didn't want to talk about the
things that made him a famous investor, like asset bubbles and
reversion to the mean. He wanted to talk about climate change.<br>
We're in the race of our lives, Grantham, 78, told me, if we're
going to deal adequately with the consequences of man-made global
warming: rising sea levels, drought, flooding, and other extreme
weather events, resulting in food and water shortages, all set
against the backdrop of world population growth and increased
income inequality, resulting in huge financial costs and the
destabilization of political and economic systems.<br>
If the global financial system itself isn't sustainable over the
long run, neither will be their investments.<br>
How do they do this? By explicitly considering climate change
risks and opportunities in their investment processes. I'm not
talking only about the relatively small number of investment
strategies focused on delivering some type of sustainable-impact
outcome for investors--I'm talking about asset managers
incorporating climate change into their firmwide approach to
investing.<br>
That includes, importantly, company engagement. Asset managers are
owners of the companies they hold in their portfolios. As
shareholders, and on behalf of their own fund investors and
private clients, asset managers have a seat at the table to
directly engage with companies on climate issues<br>
I'm not talking only about the relatively small number of
investment strategies focused on delivering some type of
sustainable-impact outcome for investors--I'm talking about asset
managers incorporating<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b
style="font-weight: normal;">climate change</b><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>into their firmwide
approach to ...<br>
I agree with Jeremy Grantham. We're in the race of our lives with
climate change. It's made all the worse having a president who
calls climate change a hoax and who, with his recent executive
orders, is actively undermining the ability of the U.S. to reach
its carbon-reduction targets based on the Paris agreement, while
also forbidding federal agencies, including the U.S. military,
from doing the very thing many asset managers are asking companies
to do: prudently assess the risks posed to their mission by
climate change. As responsible stewards of investor capital, it's
time for our leading asset managers to speak up loud and clear,
not only behind closed doors in corporate boardrooms, but in the
public sphere as well.<br>

<blockquote> A supervisor at the Energy Department's international
climate office told staff this week not to use the phrases
"climate change," "emissions reduction" or "Paris Agreement" in
written memos, briefings or other written communication...<br>
The Office of International Climate and Clean Energy is the only
office at DOE with the words 'climate' in its name, and it may be
endangered as Trump looks to reorganize government agencies.<br>
A supervisor at the Energy Department's international climate
office told staff this week not to use the phrases "climate
change," "emissions reduction" or "Paris Agreement" in written
memos, briefings or other written communication, sources have told
POLITICO....<br>
Employees of DOE's Office of International Climate and Clean
Energy learned of the ban at a meeting Tuesday, the same day
President Donald Trump signed an executive order at EPA
headquarters to reverse most of former President Barack Obama's
climate regulatory initiatives. Officials at the State Department
and in other DOE offices said they had not been given a banned
words list, but they had started avoiding climate-related terms in
their memos and briefings given the new administration's direction
on climate change...<br>
A DOE spokeswoman denied there had been a new directive. "No words
or phrases have been banned for this office or anyone in the
department," said DOE spokeswoman Lindsey Geisler....<br>
Another DOE source in a different office said that although there
had been no formal instructions about climate-related language in
their office there was a general sense that it's better to avoid
certain hot-button terms in favor of words like "jobs" and
"infrastructure."<br>

<blockquote> Climate change is not only harmful to our physical
health — it can be debilitating for our mental health as well,
according to <a
href="http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2017/03/mental-health-climate.pdf">a
report published Wednesday.</a><br>
Severe weather events and natural disasters linked to climate
change have the most dramatic impact on mental health, according
to the report by the American Psychological Association and
EcoAmerica: Natural disasters cause intense negative emotions in
people who are exposed to them, primarily fear and grief. Anxiety,
depression and unhealthy behavior are also common responses. Some
people, particularly those who experience tragic events, such as
the loss of a loved one or repeated exposure to extreme weather,
develop post-traumatic stress disorder.<br>
Displacement because of natural disasters can lead to a variety of
negative consequences, such as a loss of social support, strains
on personal relationships, absences from work and higher medical
costs, according to the report...<br>
The weather people experience also influences their mental health,
the report says. Prolonged exposure to warmer weather makes people
more aggressive and diminishes cognitive functions, <a
href="http://public.psych.iastate.edu/caa/abstracts/2000-2004/01A.pdf">according
to earlier studies</a>.<br>

href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBf75v2k3EE">This Day in
Climate History March 31, 2009 </a> - </b>from D.R. Tucker
and Ross Gelbspan</font><br>
<blockquote> <b>MSNBC's Keith Olbermann rips denialist Rep. John
Shimkus (R-IL):</b><br>
"But our winner, Congressman John Shimkus, Republican of Illinois,
with two fascinating and utterly contradictory statements. A,
Congressman Shimkus on why there isn‘t global warming. 'Today we
have about 388 parts per million of Carbon Dioxide in the
atmosphere. I think in the age of the dinosaurs, when we had most
flora and fauna, we were probably at 4,000 parts per million.
There‘s a theological debate that this is a carbon-starved planet,
not too much carbon.' <br>
"Number one, Carbon and Carbon Dioxide are not the same thing.
Number two, the only theological debate over how much carbon the
plan needs would be taking place in the church of the Labrea Tar
Pits. Number three, didn‘t the freaking dinosaurs go extinct? Or
do they just have a bad public relations person? <br>
"But I‘m digressing. B, Congressman Shimkus on why it doesn‘t
matter anyway. 'The Earth will end only when God declares it‘s
time to be over. A man will not destroy this Earth. This Earth
will not be destroyed by a flood. I appreciate having panelists
here who are men of faith, and we can get into the theological
discourse of that position. But I do believe that God‘s word is
infallible, unchanging, perfect.'<br>
"So a man pressing a button to start a nuclear war, that would be
God‘s infallible word? Why do we bother trying to govern? Can‘t
he do something about the budget deficit? By the way, as you hit
me over the head with your Bible, Congressman, there ain‘t a word
in it about those dinosaurs you mentioned earlier. <br>
"Congressman John Shimkus of Illinois, today‘s worst person in the
world!"<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBf75v2k3EE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBf75v2k3EE</a><br>
<br>
<b>MSNBC's Rachel Maddow also mocks Shimkus during her "GOP in
Exile" segment:</b><br>
"While the Republican Party continues its search for mean in the
minority, one Republican congressman, John Shimkus of Illinois,
maybe should stop searching. Just sit down, Congressman and take
a breather, honestly. Check this out:<br>
"REP. JOHN SHIMKUS (R-IL): Today, we have about 388 parts per
million in the atmosphere. I think in the age of dinosaurs, where
we had more flora and fauna, we were probably at 4,000 parts per
million. There is a theological debate that this is a carbon
starved planet, not too much carbon. <br>
"MADDOW: In other words, we shouldn‘t bother trying to reduce the
amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere because the dinosaurs
did just fine with the tons of carbon that God gave them for their
atmosphere. Also, the dodo bird ate plenty of cholesterol. And
the saber tooth tiger never, ever flossed. Stop worrying,
people."<br>
