<blockquote> The surface of the remote Antarctic ice sheet may be a
far more dynamic place than scientists imagined, new research
suggests. Decades of satellite imagery and aerial photography have
revealed an extensive network of lakes and rivers transporting ...<br>
Now, the authors of the new research suggest that the transport of
moving water onto and across Antarctica's ice shelves could make
them increasingly vulnerable to collapse as melt rates accelerate
under future climate change...<br>
When meltwater flows onto a shelf, it can run off into existing
cracks in the ice, where it may freeze and expand, causing the
cracks to widen, said Robin Bell, a glaciologist at Columbia
University and co-author of the new research. Or the water might
collect in a pool, where "it's basically acting like an additional
load on the ice shelf, which stresses it and causes it to fail,"
she told The Washington Post<br>

Surface Melt More Widespread Than Thought</a></b><br>
By Andrea Thompson<br>
While most research into Antarctic ice melt has concentrated on
the impacts of warming ocean waters that are eating away at the
ice from below, a new continent-wide survey shows that these
surface meltwater drainage systems are much more prevalent around
the continent than was previously thought.<br>

<blockquote>The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) reported that last month set an unusual and unexpected new
record for global warming.<br>
No month before March 2017 had ever exceeded the "normal"
temperature (the 1981-2010 average) by a full 1.8°F (1.0°C) - "in
the absence of an El Niño episode in the tropical Pacific Ocean."<br>
So when a month sees record high global temperatures in the
absence of an El Niño, that is a sign the underlying global
warming trend is stronger than ever.<br>

<blockquote> As Earth Day 2017 approaches (it falls on April 22 this
year, which also happens to be Shabbat), where are we as human
beings? Where are we as Jews?...<br>
My answer will probably not surprise you - we are focusing on the
wrong things, and we are not doing enough to avert catastrophe...<br>
The human race, and many of the creations we share this fragile
planetary ecosystem with, face the most serious threats since the
last ice age. Although we face many grievous prospects - ocean
acidification, the loss of the majority of wild animals, crop
failure, and plastic pollution, to name but a few - one issue
looms larger than the rest both because of the direct effects it
will have on the habitability of the earth for us and the
likelihood it will make some of the above dangers to worsen. That
issue is, of course, climate change....<br>
Climate change should be the Jewish community's number one
concern. It poses more of a long-term threat to world peace than
Donald Trump, more of a danger to Israel than Palestinians, and
more of a threat to civil society and the protection of minorities
than the alt-Right in their wildest wet dreams (don't think about
that). For the many JuBus (Jewish Buddhists) among us, climate
change promises to cause more human suffering than desire and the
false belief in a separate self (unless you posit that climate
change is ultimately caused by desire and the false belief in a
separate self, which I guess it is, so score one for you Jewish
Buddhists- but that's not the point of this article)...<br>
Scientists point out that the dynamics of climate change are
playing out much faster than we expected.<br>

When Per Espen Stoknes looked at polls going back to 1989
assessing the level of public concern about climate change in 39
different countries, he found a surprising pattern in the data...<br>
"Incredibly enough, it shows that the more certain the science
becomes, the less concern we find in richer Western democracies,"
he said. "How can it be that with increasing level of urgency and
certainty in the science, people get less concerned?"..<br>
After further research, Stoknes, the author of What We Think About
When We Try Not to Think About Global Warming, found some answers.
He examined several hundred peer-reviewed social science studies
and was able to isolate five main barriers that keep climate
messages from engaging people, what he calls "the Five Ds":
Distance, Doom, Dissonance, Denial, and iDentity...<br>
"I had to cheat a little bit with the last D - I lost one there -
but it was the closest I could get," he admitted...<br>
Distance deals with the fact that climate change is presented as
far away, in both time and space. When climate models talk of 2050
or 2100, it seems like eons from now. We may feel for polar bears
on melting ice floes, but they have little bearing on our
day-to-day lives...<br>

For some, the uncomfortable feeling of dissonance makes them turn
to denial, while others avoid the issue or feel powerless to make
a difference.<br>
"In terms of behavioral change, we need two things," said Magali
Delmas, a professor at the Institute of Environment and
Sustainability at UCLA and the Anderson School of Management. "We
need first to increase awareness, and then second, we need to find
the right motivations for people to change their behavior." <a

in climate could bowl out cricket</a></font></b><br>
It is time for cricket, one of the world's most widely played games,
to start taking the threat posed by global warming seriously.<br>
<blockquote>By Tanya Aldred<br>
LONDON, 19 April, 2017 - Cricket's global administrators love a
board meeting - all mahogany chairs, glass tables and endless
supplies of upmarket coffee. There is much to discuss, after all.
Dollars. Participation. TV deals. Future tours. Behaviour.
Match-fixing. Governance. But one subject is missing.<br>
Climate change is hardly - if ever - on the agenda, yet, of all
the major pitch games, cricket will be hardest hit by a warming
world. From the ochre-coloured Australian outback to the windswept
Scottish coast, cricket is defined almost entirely by the weather
conditions. If they change, so does the essence of the game.<br>
Many of the big cricket-playing nations are on the frontline of
climate change. In 2016 a major match in India had to be moved due
to a severe water shortage. And pitches in Bangladesh - a country
threatened by intense cyclones, rising sea levels and increasing
temperatures - are also feeling the pressure. ...<br>
"A match can be changed fundamentally with a simple change in the
weather," says Seymour.<br>
"In the morning, sunny conditions make batting easier, because the
bowlers can't get any movement in the warm, dry air. Cloud cover
after lunch increases humidity, and the ball starts to move. After
a shower, conditions change again.<br>
"Now imagine what happens with climate change. There will be
alterations to soil-moisture levels, and higher temperatures will
bring drier air, then drier pitches. This will bring a change to
grass germination and growth, which in turn affects the pitch and
outfield."<br>
In other words, the assumptions we make about English cricket, its
landscapes and rhythms, will no longer apply. The ball may not
move in 2025 the way it did in 1985 or 2005. The old-fashioned
English seamer could be on his last legs....<br>
The men - and it is still predominantly men - who run the game are
not scientists or activists: they are often ex-players, sometimes
businessmen...<br>
Cricket is slow-bowling its way into the future. It has plenty to
lose in a warming world. It also has a moral responsibility to
act. - Climate News Network.<br>

<blockquote> Talk about values, not just data: how this minister
wants to inspire people to take action on protecting the
environment.<br>
As faith communities, we're possessors of a rich language about
what fundamentally motivates people to address environmental
injustices and address the climate. When I look at what motivates
activists, often what gets circulated in some venues is science
reports...<br>
But what actually motivates people is what I have found are the
three great loves. Love of neighbor: You're aware of the real and
present suffering climate or pollution are causing right now, so
you're motivated once you have that awareness. Another is love of
creation, concern for how our natural world is being decimated,
extinction of animals, the oceans. The number one motive I've come
across - although it's not for everyone - is love of children.<br>
f you're a pastor, a lot of what you're dealing with on a weekly
basis is people caught in grief. Grief over climate change is real
and has a significant impact on people. And being in it for the
long haul is knowing how to wrestle with things like grief. One of
the best ways to deal with challenging issues and things like
grief is to not be alone but to be in a community of support and
point people to resources around them...<br>
I'm a big fan of the Exodus story. At times we find ourselves with
our back against the wall or the sea, but at some point the waters
do part and we're able to walk through. Being able to have those
stories and connect to what we're going through right now is
powerful. So whether it's the Exodus story or the story of
crucifixion and resurrection, these have helped us make our way
through life, through the climate, and issue after issue over so
many years.<br>
