<blockquote> A significant proportion of the signs were personally
aimed at President Trump, which seems a touch narrow-minded and
plays into his Twittering fingers. He isn't the first on his
party's side to negate science...<br>
..."Trump doesn't believe in climate change because he can't
imagine anything hotter than his daughter," it's not quite the
heart-winner that scientists need in order to make their case...<br>
Some signs were rebuttals to presidential tweets. For example:
"I'm not getting paid for this. Trust me, I'm a postdoc" is funny,
for those who know how little postdoctoral fellows are paid and
that Trump insinuated that anyone who marches against him is being
paid. But to a broader audience? Not quite...<br>
It seems clear that while the scientific marchers had put in a lot
of effort, there were many in-jokes that wouldn't translate to the
masses...<br>
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the
precipitate," may be amusing, but again, only to scientific minds.<br>
"I can't believe I'm still protesting this shit," said the sign.
It was held by a little boy, aged perhaps 9 or 10...<br>

<blockquote>How do we live with the fact that the world we knew is
going and, in some cases, already gone?<br>
The future we've been warned about is beginning to saturate the
present. We tend to imagine climate change as a destroyer. But it
also traffics in disruption, disarray: increasingly frequent and
more powerful storms and droughts; heightened flooding; expanded
ranges of pests turning forests into fuel for wildfires; stretches
of inhospitable heat. So many facets of our existence -
agriculture, transportation, cities and the architecture they
spawned - were designed to suit specific environments. Now they
are being slowly transplanted into different, more volatile ones,
without ever actually moving.<br>

<blockquote> Budget cuts may threaten vital tools like
climate-monitoring satellites.<br>
With temperatures soaring last winter to 50 degrees above normal,
the area around the North Pole is melting and the Arctic Sea ice
is shrinking at a rate never seen before.<br>
"We're not talking about something that is 100 years from now.
We're talking about something that's going to happen in the next
decade," said Jeremy Mathis, director of Arctic research for the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.<br>
"The Arctic is warming twice as fast as other parts of the
planet," Mathis said.<br>
The warming Arctic is causing the jet stream to wobble across
America and helping spawn massive weather events. The number of
billion-dollar weather events in 2017 is on track to set a
record...<br>

<blockquote> "Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to
Reverse Global Warming" (Penguin Books), was edited by the author
and entrepreneur Paul Hawken along with a self-described
"coalition" of research fellows, writers and advisors...<br>
The 80 solutions that make up the bulk of the book are grouped
into seven buckets: energy; food; women and girls; building and
cities; land use; transport; and materials. To qualify for
inclusion, a solution must have proven to reduce energy use
through efficiency, material reduction or resource productivity;
replace existing energy sources with renewable energy; or
sequester carbon in soils, plants or kelp through regenerative
farming, grazing, ocean and forest practices...<br>
Each solution is ranked by cost-effectiveness, speed to
implementation and societal benefit. Also included for each is its
projected savings in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and the
solution's total financial cost - the amount of money needed to
purchase, install and operate it over 30 years - and its net cost
or benefit - how much money would be required to implement the
solution compared to the cost of repeating business as usual...<br>
"Drawdown's" aggregate bottom line is shockingly affordable: When
you total up the net first costs and subtract the net operating
costs for all 80 solutions, the net operating savings add up to
$74 trillion over 30 years.<br>

climate or economics </a></b></font><br>
<blockquote> To aid the former, Naomi Klein says, government and
business would have to change the latter, and likely won't<br>
Award-winning writer Naomi Klein spoke to a capacity crowd at
First Parish Church about the incompatible goals of climate action
and the free market. "If you look at the pillars of neoliberalism
... what you see is that it's impossible to reconcile climate
action with that worldview."<br>
When it comes to acting on climate change, there are two choices,
author and activist Naomi Klein told a full house at First Parish
Church in Cambridge Wednesday, "We can give up - wait for the
apocalypse. That's one option. The other option is to stand up in
a truly unprecedented way."<br>
"If you look at the pillars of neoliberalism - privatization,
deregulation, cutting public programs to pay for tax cuts - what
you see is that it's impossible to reconcile climate action with
that worldview."<br>
Therefore, those concerned about climate change need to transform
the building blocks of the economy, she explained, and this cannot
be achieved through small remedies such as carbon taxes, an
approach she calls marginal.<br>
"Climate change is the essence of a collective crisis," she
stated. "We need collective action and massive investments in the
public sphere."<br>
Klein leveled criticisms against President Trump's positions on
the climate in her characteristic colorful, pointed style.<br>
"He embodies the extractivist mindset so perfectly," she said. "He
thinks he can grab anything, women, oil, land. The way he sees any
relationship is for maximum extraction … the opposite of any kind
of reciprocity or interconnection."<br>
As an antidote to the grim picture of climate politics, Klein
reminded the audience at First Parish of the many domains where
activism can continue and likely would be most effective: states,
cities, schools, and universities.<br>
"We can design a response to the climate change that is better
than the present."<br>

<blockquote> Trump is in charge at a critical moment for keeping
climate change in check. We may never recover.<br>
APRIL 20, 2017 By BILL McKIBBEN<br>
But there's an extra dimension to the environmental damage. What
Mr. Trump is trying to do to the planet's climate will play out
over geologic time as well. In fact, it's time itself that he's
stealing from us.<br>
What I mean is, we have only a short window to deal with the
climate crisis or else we forever lose the chance to thwart truly
catastrophic heating.<br>
