<blockquote> "Exercising my 'reasoned judgment,' I have no doubt
that the right to a climate system capable of sustaining human
life is fundamental to a free and ordered society." - U.S.
District Judge Ann Aiken..<br>
On November 10, 2016 Judge Ann Aiken issued an opinion and order
denying the U.S. government and fossil fuel industry's motions to
dismiss a constitutional climate change lawsuit filed by 21 youth.
The decision means that the youth, age 9 to 20 and from all over
the U.S., now have standing because their rights are at stake, and
now their case is headed to trial....<br>
The youth had filed their constitutional climate lawsuit against
the federal government in the U.S. District Court for the District
of Oregon in 2015. Also acting as a plaintiff is world-renowned
climate scientist Dr. James E. Hansen, serving as guardian for
future generations and his granddaughter. Their complaint asserts
that, through the governments affirmative actions in causing
climate change, it has violated the youngest generation's
constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property, as well as
failed to protect essential public trust resources...<br>

<blockquote> As they sit in a circle in the living room, Dick Meyer
talks about why the problem of climate change made him emotional.
Just thinking about the impacts of a shifting climate is making
some, like Meyer, feel anxious and overwhelmed. This support
group, which began meeting last year, is helping people cope.<br>
"And I think I came to the conclusion that it was the loss of the
future - the future that I had lived knowing was going to be there
- all of a sudden is gone," he says. "And that is really
disorienting."<br>
Lise Van Susteren, a psychiatrist and climate activist in
Washington, D.C., says people have climate anxiety...<br>
"Every single day we are told about what disasters are just around
the corner," she says. "And this is being processed whether we
know it consciously or not."..<br>

href="http://www.climatecodered.org/2017/04/a-three-track-strategy-for-climate.html">A
three-track strategy for climate mitigation</a></b></font><br>
by Graeme Taylor<br>
<blockquote> <b>The challenge</b>, In his analysis of the Paris
Agreement on mitigating climate change, The Guardian's George
Monbiot said: "By comparison to what it could have been, it's a
miracle. By comparison to what it should have been, it's a
disaster." On one hand the outcome was better than predicted as
Article 2 states that parties to the agreement will hold global
average temperature increases "to well below 2°C" and "pursue
efforts" to limit this to 1.5°C.<br>
<b>A three track strategy</b><br>
An effective strategy must address both short and long term goals:
the need to greatly intensify current climate mitigation efforts
within the next 5-10 years to avoid passing irreversible
environmental tipping points, while simultaneously catalysing the
structural changes required to produce a safe, stable climate by
mid-century.<br>
Track 1: A strategic campaign to strengthen climate mitigation<br>
Track 2: A strategic campaign to win the ideological debate<br>
Track 3: A strategic campaign to accelerate systemic change<br>
Of course clarifying the major systemic problems and solutions is
only the first step. We then have to determine how we can
implement the necessary changes. This will require:<br>
<b>Vision:</b> a positive, ethical narrative and vision that a
peaceful, sustainable world is both necessary and possible.<br>
<b>Strategy:</b> a clear strategy for global transformation.<br>
<b>Leadership:</b> support for the vision and strategy from a
coalition of credible leaders representing a wide spectrum of
cultures, institutions, and political and religious views.<br>
<b>Empowerment:</b> transformational media, social and
technological tools designed to inform, catalyze and empower
constructive change.<br>
<b>Organization: </b>aligning the forces supporting sustainable
outcomes, and facilitating the self-organization of a synergistic
"super-campaign" pursued at all levels of our interdependent
global system.<br>
It will be an enormous challenge to create a sustainable world,
but one our species must and can accomplish. The future is not
fate-it is our choice.<br>

using the legal system to half Trump's anti-climate agenda:</a></i>
"Trump will be slowed down by litigation. However, there's going
to be a lot of litigation at the state level. I think that'll also
be a key area of dispute."<br>

case makes it's way to the supreme court, I do not believe that
there will be a majority of the justices on the court who would
uphold the conclusion of the district court. So I don't know how
long lived that particular ruling will be. But, while it's out

why so many Republicans reject climate science:</i></a> "It's
partly because of an ideology against government in general, and
if you believe in climate change, and that it's caused largely by
human activities, and that we need to do something about it, that
necessarily leads to government action. And, if you don't want
government action, then one psychological mechanism is to deny
there's a problem that requires government action."<br>

why so many Republicans reject climate science, continued:</i></a>

<blockquote> Coca-Cola and Nestlé have recently closed facilities,
and Starbucks is bracing for a global shortage of coffee - all due
to effects from climate change. Climate change impacts every
resource used by businesses: from agriculture, water, land and
energy ..<br>
The lukewarm corporate commitment to sustainability is, perhaps,
unsurprising. One contributing factor may be the way in which
corporate leaders are trained in business schools...<br>
Although sustainability is a growing theme in business school
curricula, it's still relatively new – and relatively uncommon.
Business schools have been slow to change and adapt...<br>
For <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/IJSHE-07-2016-0135">our
research</a>, we studied 51 of the hundreds of business programs
in the U.S. We found that when an introductory sustainable
business course is offered, it often remains an elective in the
business school curriculum. Only a few business schools offer
minors, majors, certificates or graduate degrees in sustainability
management or sustainable business..<br>

Today is Earth Day, an occasion used to highlight environmental
awareness and the state of our planet's health. Climate change has
become a major focus in recent decades, and while 120 nations across
the world ratified the Paris Agreement a year ago, significant
challenges remain in the years and decades to come. Which is to say
that to think about climate science is to think seriously and
passionately about the future.<br>
<blockquote> <b>THE MADDADDAM TRILOGY, MARGARET ATWOOD</b><br>
Margaret Atwood is getting a lot of attention for her dystopian
novel The Handmaid's Tale and its TV adaptation, but it would be a
mistake to overlook her MaddAddam novels: Oryx and Crake, The Year
of the Flood, and MaddAddam... <br>
<b>THE WINDUP GIRL AND THE WATER KNIFE, PAOLO BACIGALUPI</b><br>
Over the course of his career, Paolo Bacigalupi focused on
environmental issues, especially in his novels. The Windup Girl is
a particularly chilling take on what the future could hold. Set
centuries in the future, the oceans have risen and fossil fuels
depleted, all while plagues and mutated invasive species cause
widespread famine across the world. The book follows several
characters in a futuristic Thailand...<br>
<b>THE DROWNED WORLD J.G. BALLARD</b><br>
J.G. Ballard's 1962 novel is considered one of the best examples
of early climate change fiction. The polar ice caps have melted
and submerged much of the Northern hemisphere. As a biologist in
London sets off on a mapping expedition, Ballard uses the novel to
explore the unconscious impulses of humanity's survivors. As the
world regresses, so to do its inhabitants. The morals that held
society together disintegrate, and civilization unravels...<br>
<b>THE BROKEN EARTH TRILOGY, N.K. JEMISIN</b><br>
N.K. Jemisin's books are some of the most original and eye-opening
fantasies being published today, and these books have a
particularly vibrant take on survival. Jemisin's world goes
through cycles of catastrophes that upend humanity each time. The
stress of the continual shifts leads to an oppressed people known
as orogenes - mutated, or maybe just magical - who can use their
powers to alter the planet, for better or worse. Jemisin
investigates the alienation of her characters, and explores how
society reacts when constantly bombarded by trauma...<br>
<b>CALIFORNIA, EDAN LEPUCKI</b><br>
Edan Lepucki's debut novel California is more of literary take on
climate change than some of the other selections on this list,
though it shares an interest in the lengths people will go to
survive when civilization begins to collapse. ..<br>
<b>NEW YORK 2140, KIM STANLEY ROBINSON</b><br>
We reviewed Kim Stanley Robinson's latest novel a couple of weeks
ago, but New York 2140 is book that likely paints the most
realistic climate change scenario. Set over a century in the
future, the inhabitants of New York City's MetLife Tower make
their way through life amidst rising tides. While it's an
optimistic and even funny novel, he uses the book to lay out the
connections between unfettered capitalism and a warming climate,
and warns that unless society-changing fixes are made, we will
live with the consequences...<br>
<b>AREA X TRILOGY, JEFF VANDERMEER</b><br>
If you're looking for something a bit more horrifying (as if these
futures aren't terrifying enough) look no further than Jeff
Vandermeer's novels Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance. The
Area X trilogy blends a changing world and climate with
otherworldly and outright unexplainable horror....<br>
<b>GOLD FAME CITRUS BY CLAIRE VAYE WATKINS</b><br>
..Claire Vaye Watkins sets her novel in an American southwest
that's been ravaged by drought. The region's remaining inhabitants
-Mojavs - are prevented from escaping to better homes by armed
vigilantes and an uncaring government...<br>
