<blockquote> A new paper finds no statistical evidence that global
warming slowed down in recent years or that it's sped up just yet<br>
As humans continue to dump heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere, the Earth continues to warm. In fact, it has
been warming for decades and we now routinely hit temperatures
that are 1°C (about 2°F) above the temperatures from 100 years
ago...<br>
But despite what we may expect, temperatures across the globe
don't rise little by little each year in a straight line. Rather,
temperature changes are a bit bumpy. They go up and they go down
somewhat randomly as they increase. Think of a wiggly line
superimposed on a straight rising line. <br>
What this analysis shows us is that the Earth continues to warm
apace. Furthermore, we shouldn't get excited about any given year
that is cold or warm, or think it's showing that global warming is
slowing down or speeding up. Rather, this paper reminds us that
long-term trends are what matters. And the long-term trends are
speaking loudly.<br>

<blockquote> The 45th President of the United States might think
climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese, but there is a
fair chance that the investors who put money into his hotels and
casinos think it is rather more serious than that...<br>
New research from the Asset Owners Disclosure Project (AODP)
reveals that 60% of the world's 500 biggest asset owners (AOs),
representing assets under management of $27 trillion, now
recognise the financial risks of climate change and the
opportunities that are created by the transition to a low carbon
economy. That figure, revealed in AODP's fifth Global Climate
Index, is not just startling in itself, but it is an 18% increase
on the figure last year....<br>
But he added: "It is shocking that many pension funds and insurers
are still ignoring climate risk and gambling with the savings and
financial security of millions of people. As the number of these
laggards falls, their exposure to market repricing grows
significantly higher and a time may be approaching when it is too
late to avoid portfolio losses."...<br>
"Climate change is becoming a central part of risk management
around the world, and will transcend short-term political setbacks
such as moves by the Trump administration in the US to roll back
action on climate change," Poulter said. "Once investors adopt
prudent risk management practices they will not unlearn them."</blockquote>

prepared for the state of California and released this month by a
team of climate researchers, has now also presented the
possibility of extreme sea level scenarios by 2100 — albeit ones
that have either a low or an unknown probability of occurring.<br>
That document looked specifically at California coastlines, and
found that for San Francisco, for instance, the "likely" range for
sea level rise in the year 2100 under a high global warming
scenario would be 1.6 to 3.4 feet. But it also said there was a
1-in-20 chance of 4.4 feet, a 1-in-200 chance of 6.9 feet, and
even a chance, whose probability could not be estimated, of 10
feet.<br>

<blockquote>A single individual is enough for hope to exist, and
that individual can be you, says His Holiness Pope Francis in this
searing TED Talk delivered directly from Vatican City. In a
hopeful message to people of all faiths, to those who have power
as well as those who don't, the spiritual leader provides
illuminating commentary on the world as we currently find it and
calls for equality, solidarity and tenderness to prevail. "Let us
help each other, all together, to remember that the 'other' is not
a statistic, or a number," he says. "We all need each other."<br>

Transcript </a><br>
"The future of humankind isn't exclusively in the hands of
politicians, of great leaders, of big companies. Yes, they do hold
an enormous responsibility. But the future is, most of all, in the
hands of those people who recognize the other as a "you" and
themselves as part of an "us." We all need each other. And so,
please, think of me as well with tenderness, so that I can fulfill
the task I have been given for the good of the other, of each and
every one, of all of you, of all of us. Thank you."<br>

released from a Canadian nonprofit today estimates that
methane emissions in Alberta could be up to 60 percent higher
than official figures. The Canadian government announced last
week that it would delay planned methane reduction regulations
by up to three years, garnering fierce criticism from
environmental advocates.</font></span><br>

<b><a href="http://www.atmos-chem-phys-discuss.net/acp-2017-109/">Mobile
measurement of methane emissions from natural gas developments
in Northeastern British Columbia, Canada</a></b><br>
"...emission sources we located (emitting at a rate > 0.59 g/s)
contribute more than 111,800 tonnes of methane annually to the
atmosphere. This value exceeds reported bottom-up estimates of
78,000 tonnes for all oil and gas sector sources in British
Columbia, of which the Montney represents about 55 % of
production. The results also demonstrate that mobile surveys could
be used to exhaustively screen developments for super-emitters,
because without our intensive 6-fold replication we could have
used single-pass sampling to screen 80 % of Montney-related
infrastructure. This is the first bottom-up study of fugitive
emissions in the Canadian energy sector, and these results can be
used to inform policy development in an era of methane emission
reduction efforts."<br>

Atlantic cooling and North American east coast warming linked<br>
to AMOC slowdown</a></b><br>
<blockquote>Stefan Rahmstorf (1), Levke Caesar (1), Georg Feulner
(1), and Vincent Saba (2)<br>
Reconstructing the history of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning
Circulation (AMOC) is difficult due to the limited availability of
data. One approach has been to use instrumental and proxy data for
sea surface temperature (SST), taking multi-decadal and longer SST
variations in the subpolar gyre region as indicator for AMOC
changes<br>
Recent high-resolution global climate model results as well as
dynamical theory and conceptual<br>
modelling suggest that an AMOC weakening will not only cool the
subpolar Atlantic but<br>
simultaneously warm the Northwest Atlantic between Cape Hatteras
and Nova Scotia, thus providing a characteristic SST pattern
associated with AMOC variations.<br>
We analyse sea surface temperature (SST) observations from this
region together with high-resolution climate model simulations to
better understand the linkages<br>

<blockquote>The argument Wilson makes in Half Earth isn't all that
difficult to understand, and for those who are concerned with the
health of the planet, and especially the well being of the flora
and fauna with which we share the earth, might initially be hard
to disagree with. Powerfully, Wilson reminds us that we are at the
beginning of the sixth great extinction a mass death of species on
par with other great dyings such as the one that killed the
dinosaurs....<br>
Any polemic such as the one Wilson has written requires an enemy,
but rather than a take aim at the capitalist/industrial system, or
the aspiration to endless consumption, Wilson's enemy is a
relatively new and yet to be influential movement within
environmentalism that aims to normalize our perspective on the
natural world.<br>
