<b><a
href="https://thinkprogress.org/new-york-times-hires-extreme-climate-denier-after-hyping-itself-as-antidote-to-fake-news-441826c4071d">After
hyping itself as antidote to fake news, New York Times hires
extreme climate denier</a></b><br>
<blockquote> New columnist Bret Stephens dismisses as "imaginary"
the climate reality routinely reported by the Times. <br>
The New York Times - which advertises itself as a defender of
truth in the Trump era - just hired an extreme denier of climate
science as a columnist.<br>
Stephens was most recently deputy editorial page editor for Rupert
Murdoch's deeply conservative and climate-denying Wall Street
Journal, where, in 2015, he wrote that climate change - along with
hunger in America, campus rape statistics, and institutionalized
racism- are "imaginary enemies." He will now take those views to
the New York Times.<br>
Stephens is unusually extreme and divisive even for a climate
science denier, also comparing scientists and those who accept
their findings to Stalinists, anti-semites, and communists.<br>
In a fawning <a
href="http://www.nytco.com/bret-stephens-joins-nyt-opinion/">press
release</a>, the Times calls Stephens "a beautiful writer" who
brings to the paper, "profound intellectual depth, honesty and
bravery." Judge for yourself:<br>
Stephens' July 2008 column, titled,<a
href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB121486841811817591">
"Global Warming as Mass Neurosis,"</a> begins, "last week marked
the 20th anniversary of the mass hysteria phenomenon known as
global warming. Much of the science has since been discredited."<br>
His November 2015 column, <a
href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/liberalisms-imaginary-enemies-1448929043">"Liberalism's
Imaginary Enemies,"</a> previewing the Paris climate talks,
calls concern over climate change "hysteria" and compares global
warming to hunger in America, institutionalized racism, and campus
rape statistics - all things he says are "imaginary enemies."<br>

...I'm thrilled to tell you that a new colleague is joining the

<blockquote> "Climate change is really real and really alarming to
me personally," said Grace Woodward, the College Republicans'
president.<br>
In the U.S. Congress and in U.S. party politics, beliefs about
climate change often match party membership: Democrats believe it
is a largely man-made problem and something that needs urgent
action, while a share of Republicans – including President Donald
Trump – have dismissed it as anything from a natural phenomenon to
a hoax...<br>
But a younger generation of Republicans – those on college
campuses today – increasingly say they believe climate change is a
human-caused problem, and that Americans have a responsibility to
act on it and protect the environment, according to a Thomson
Reuters Foundation review of college Republican clubs across the
United States.<br>

<blockquote> Harvard researchers are set to test aerosol sprays that
could be used to combat climate change. The controversial
technique could one day be used to block incoming solar radiation
and cool down Earth to combat the effects of global warming.<br>
During testing, the team will analyse a variety of aerosol
materials that could be used at scale in future.<br>
But the researchers claim that they will not fire more than 1kg
(2.2lbs) of any substance into the stratosphere during testing.<br>
The idea has stirred controversy in the scientific community, even
among those who believe it could effectively tackle global
warming...<br>
'Geoengineering is like taking painkillers,' said Keutsch. <br>
'When things are really bad, painkillers can help but they don't
address the cause of a disease and they may cause more harm than
good. We really don't know the effects of geoengineering but that
is why we're doing this research.' <br>
The research is published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences.<br>

CO2 levels accelerate upwards, smashing records</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote> Despite decades of global efforts towards climate
policies, clean energy and efficiency, CO2 levels continue to rise
and are actually accelerating upwards. For those of us hoping for
signs of climate progress, this most critical and basic climate
data is bitter news indeed. It shows humanity racing ever more
rapidly into a full-blown crisis for both our climate and our
oceans.<br>
That's the story told by the newest CO2 data released by the
United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA). <br>
<b>Even the increases are increasing</b><br>
The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere continues to
accelerate upwards despite global efforts<br>
The last two years had "unprecedented" increases<br>
The primary driver of global warming, disruptive climate changes
and ocean acidification is the ever-increasing amount of carbon
dioxide in our atmosphere.<br>
Despite decades of global efforts towards climate policies, clean
energy and efficiency, CO2 levels continue to rise and are
actually accelerating upwards.... It shows humanity racing ever
more rapidly into a full-blown crisis for both our climate and our
oceans....<br>
The scientists also pointed out that 2016 "was a record fifth
consecutive year that carbon dioxide (CO2) rose by 2 ppm or
greater." Those last five years also broke a new record by
exceeding +2.5 ppm per year for the first time....<br>
All told, we've managed to pull off the triple crown of climate
failure. The last ten years, five years and two years have all
smashed records for CO2 increases...<br>
Recently the climate press has been buzzing about a hopeful CO2
report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA
estimates that fossil fuel CO2 didn't increase in either 2015 or
2016. ...how to reconcile this plateau in fossil fuel CO2 with the
continued acceleration of atmospheric CO2.<br>
<b>Fossil fuel CO2 might be increasing. </b>The IEA numbers might
be wrong. They rely on nations to accurately report their fossil
fuel use. Not all of them do, especially when it comes to burning
their own coal supplies. In fact, the lack of a system to
accurately verify national CO2 claims was a key issue in the Paris
Climate Accord discussions. The worry is that as nations face
increasing pressure and scrutiny around their CO2, the incentives
to cook the books will increase. Incorrect accounting of just one
percent globally could switch the storyline from "hopeful plateau"
to "continuing acceleration". The IEA devotes two chapters of
their "CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion" report to the various
issues impacting data accuracy.<br>
<b>Humans might be increasing CO2 emissions from other sectors</b>.
Roughly a quarter of the CO2 released by humans comes from
non-energy sources not covered in the EIA numbers. These include
land use changes, agriculture, deforestation, fugitive emissions,
industrial processes, solvents and waste. We could be increasing
CO2 from these.<br>
<b>Climate change might be increasing CO2 emissions</b>. Increases
in wildfires, droughts, melting permafrost - as well as changes to
plankton and oceans - can all cause sustained increases in CO2
emissions. And climate change is affecting all of these. Perhaps
some of these changes are underway.<br>
<b>The oceans and biosphere might be absorbing less of our CO2</b>.
Much of the CO2 humans release gets taken up by the oceans (ocean
acidification) and the biosphere (increased plant growth). Some
climate models predict these "CO2 sinks" will lose their ability
to keep up. If that is starting to happen, then dumping the same
amount of CO2 into the atmosphere will result in increasing
amounts staying there.<br>
Unfortunately we don't have good enough measurements to say what
the mix of these factors is. However, what we can accurately
measure is the CO2 level in our atmosphere. That's the CO2 number
we have to stop from rising because it is what drives global
warming, climate changes and ocean acidification. Sadly, it's also
the CO2 number that shows no sign of slowing down yet.<br>

<font size="+1"><b><a
href="http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/10/05/reviews/carson-obit.html">This
Day in Climate History April 14, 1964 </a> - from D.R. Tucker</b></font><br>
<blockquote> <font size="+1">Writer and biologist Rachel Carson,
whose 1962 book</font><br>
<font size="+1">"Silent Spring" galvanized a generation to take
environmental concerns</font><br>
<font size="+1">seriously, passes away at 56. Miss Carson's
position had been summarized this way:<br>
"Chemicals are the sinister and little-recognized partners of
radiation in changing the very nature of the world - the very
nature of life...<br>
"Since the mid-nineteen forties, over 200 basic chemicals have
been created for use in killing insects, weeds, rodents and
other organisms described in the modern vernacular as pests, and
they are sold under several thousand different brand names...<br>
"The sprays, dusts and aerosols are now applied almost
universally to farms, gardens, forests and homes--non-selective
chemicals that have the power to kill every insect, the good and
the bad, to still the song of birds and the leaping of fish in
the streams - to coat the leaves with a deadly film and to
linger on in soil - all this, though the intended target may be
only a few weeds or insects...<br>
"Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of
poison on the surface of the earth without making it unfit for
all life? They should not be called 'insecticides' but
'biocides.'" </font><br>
