Future of Life Institute, Contributor<br>
"You don't actually have to go a hundred years or a thousand years
into the future before things can get quite disrupted relative to
today."<br>
I recently visited the National Center for Atmospheric Research in
Boulder, CO and met with climate scientists Dr. Kevin Trenberth and
CU Boulder’s Dr. Brian Toon to have a different discussion. I wanted
better answers about what climate change is, what its effects could
be, and how can we prepare for the future...<br>
The discussion that follows has been edited for clarity and brevity,
and I’ve added occasional comments for context. You can also listen
to the <a

Our discussion began with a review of the scientific evidence behind
climate change.<br>

<blockquote> The longstanding mystery surrounding Antarctica's Blood
Falls has finally been solved. The deep red falls were first
discovered in Antarctica in 1911 where scientists noticed a river
had stained the surrounding cliff of ice with a dark red color.
Previously, they had believed it was due to algae discoloring the
water, however that hypothesis was never verified...<br>
Now, thanks to research by the University of Alaska Fairbanks, we
know the true origin of the Blood Falls flowing from the Taylor
Glacier. The deep red coloring is due to oxidized iron in brine
saltwater, the same process that gives iron a dark red color when
it rusts. When the iron bearing saltwater comes into contact with
oxygen the iron oxidizes and takes on a red coloring, in effect
dying the water to a deep red color...<br>
The research team transected the glacier in a grid using
radio-echo sounding (RES) to map out the features below the
glacier. Thankfully, the super saturated brine that makes up the
river allows for a stark density contrast in RES compared to the
non-saline (fresh) ice. The research team calculates that the
brine water takes approximately 1.5 million years to finally reach
the Blood Falls as it makes its way through fissures and channels
in the glacier...<br>

<blockquote> When climate scientists look at Antarctica, they see a
ticking time bomb. If the ice sheet melts, it will raise sea
levels by tens of feet, flooding coastal cities around the globe..<br>
...Greenland has started melting from the middle. Pools of water
are forming atop the ice sheet in the warmer months and then
draining out to sea...<br>
Scientists have now discovered the same thing is happening in
Antarctica. Two new studies published in the journal Nature

<font color="#000099">-</font> it does the body (and mind)
good?</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote>Worry - it does a body good. And, the mind as well. A
new paper by Kate Sweeny, psychology professor at the University
of California, Riverside, argues there's an upside to worrying.<br>
"Despite its negative reputation, not all worry is destructive or
even futile," Sweeny said. "It has motivational benefits, and it
acts as an emotional buffer."<br>
In her latest article, "The Surprising Upsides of Worry,"
published in Social and Personality Psychology Compass, Sweeny
breaks down the role of worry in motivating preventive and
protective behavior, and how it leads people to avoid unpleasant
events. Sweeny finds worry is associated with recovery from
traumatic events, adaptive preparation and planning, recovery from
depression, and partaking in activities that promote health and
prevent illness. Furthermore, people who report greater worry may
perform better - in school or at the workplace - seek more
information in response to stressful events, and engage in more
successful problem solving.<br>
Worry as a motivator<br>
The motivational power of worry has been studied and linked to
preventive health behavior, like seatbelt use. In a nationally
representative sample of Americans, feelings of worry about skin
cancer predicted sunscreen use. And participants who reported
higher levels of cancer-related worries also conducted breast
self-examinations, underwent regular mammograms, and sought
clinical breast examinations.<br>
"Interestingly enough, there are examples of a more nuanced
relationship between worry and preventive behavior as well,"
Sweeny said. "Women who reported moderate amounts of worry,
compared to women reporting relatively low or high levels of
worry, are more likely to get screened for cancer. It seems that
both too much and too little worry can interfere with motivation,
but the right amount of worry can motivate without paralyzing...<br>
"Extreme levels of worry are harmful to one's health. I do not
intend to advocate for excessive worrying. Instead, I hope to
provide reassurance to the helpless worrier - planning and
preventive action is not a bad thing," Sweeny said. "Worrying the
right amount is far better than not worrying at all."<br>

The calculation at the time was that overall sea level rise could
threaten the properties of 13.1 million people. This raised the
question: where could they all go?<br>
"We typically think about sea level rise as a coastal issue, but
if people are forced to move because their houses become
inundated, the migration could affect many landlocked communities
as well," says the study's author, <a
href="http://climatenewsnetwork.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6e13c74c17ec527c4be72d64f&id=a09f3b082e&e=30dc80e2f6">Mathew
Hauer, a population scientist</a> in the Department of Geography
at the University of Georgia. He also led the original
county-by-county estimates of the numbers at risk.<br>
The point of such research is to alert planners and civic
authorities to what could happen. However, climate change and
population growth will combine to amplify the risk from coastal
windstorms and surges along the littoral, and cause very different
problems inland.<br>
"Some of the anticipated landlocked destinations, such as Las
Vegas, Atlanta and Riverside, in California, already struggle with
water management or growth management challenges," Dr Hauer says.<br>
"Incorporating accommodation strategies in strategic long-range
planning could help alleviate the potential future intensification
of these challenges."<br>

Snow Water Ice and Water and Adaptive Actions for a Changing
Arctic</a></b><br>
<blockquote>The Arctic is changing fast, and the Arctic Council
recently commissioned the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment
Programme (AMAP) to write two new reports on the state of the
Arctic cryosphere (snow, water, and ice) and how the people and
the ecosystems in the Arctic can live with these changes...<br>
The two reports have now just been published and are called Snow
Water Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic Update (SWIPA-update) and
Adaptive Actions for a Changing Arctic (AACA)....<br>
The message from these reports is that the Arctic temperatures
increase rapidly, in line with the notion of 'polar
amplification'...<br>
The increased temperatures have been accompanied with changes in
snow, sea-ice, precipitation, permafrost, icebergs, landice, river
runoff, polar lows, synoptic storms, cloudiness, avalanches, ocean
circulation, and ocean acidification...<br>
For some of these aspects, there have been clear evidence for
changes, such as precipitation, snow, ice, and permafrost. For
others, such as polar lows, synoptic storms, and cloudiness, the
evidence is more ambiguous.<br>
The number of polar lows and the frequency of fog over the Barents
sea, however are believed to diminish as the sea ice cover
retreats..<br>
The changing conditions in the Arctic have an impact on both the
ecosystems and the people living there.<br>

Yereth Rosen /Alaska Dispatch April 26, 2017<br>
The new forecasts of accelerated warming mark the condition of the
Arctic at the end of the two-year U.S. chairmanship of the
eight-nation Arctic Council, according to reports released by the
organization's Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program...<br>
Scientists are warning the pace of climate change demands a quick
response against its causes...<br>
The reports come two weeks ahead of the council's ministerial
meeting in Fairbanks, an event that will cap U.S.' two-year tenure
and pass leadership to Finland. The reports were released at a
four-day Arctic science conference in Reston, Virginia, and
outlined in a pair of teleconferences held Tuesday...<br>
With Arctic warming outpacing climate change in the rest of the
world, the reports show why immediate action is needed to reduce
global carbon emissions, said one of the scientists involved...<br>
"The changes are cumulative, and so what we do in the next five
years is really important on slowing down the changes that will
happen in the next 30 or 40 years," said Jim Overland, a National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration oceanographer and a
co-author of the Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic
report, or SWIPA. "The emphasis on action and immediacy is one of
the key findings" of the report, he said.<br>

make progress on the Sawmill Fire in Arizona</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote> Firefighters battling the 46,954-acre Sawmill Fire 23
miles southeast of Tucson have been able to slow the spread over
the last two days in spite of strong winds. Satellite imagery from
early Friday morning did not show any large concentrations of heat
over the previous 24 hours. This does not mean the fire is out,
and there is no doubt a lot of line building and mopup work still
has to be accomplished.<br>
A Red Flag Warning for strong winds is still in place for the fire
area as well as most of southern Arizona and southwest New Mexico.<br>

...While this was going on a few meteorologists with access to the
new, still being tested GOES-16 satellite were monitoring the
emerging wildfire situation. This game-changing satellite orbiting
hundreds of miles overhead has a baseline imager that will view
the Earth with 16 different spectral bands (compared to five on
current GOES satellites) and it will provide three times more
spectral information, four times the spatial resolution, and more
than five times faster temporal coverage than the current system.
It also has the first satellite sensor dedicated to detecting real
time lightning.<br>

<blockquote>The New York Times' indefensible hire of a climate
denier keeps getting worse.<br>
The ...effort to stem the growing criticism they have received for
hiring extreme climate science denier Bret Stephens is going about
as well as United Airlines initial attempts to defend dragging a
customer off one of their planes. ..<br>
Stephens was most recently deputy editorial page editor for Rupert
Murdoch's deeply conservative, climate-denying Wall Street
Journal. In 2015, he wrote that climate change - along with hunger
in America, campus rape statistics, and institutionalized
racism - are "imaginary enemies." They aren't.<br>
When Vox interviewed Stephens this week, and asked him to defend
his extreme denial of climate science, he replied with this
jaw-dropper:<br>
A guy I know just had a baby and he's a big global warming,
climate change activist. If he thinks in 20 years we'll be heading
toward unsustainable climates and there will be tens of millions
of people being displaced, presumably including himself, at the
most apocalyptic level, then presumably he wouldn't be having
children.<br>
It contradicts the belief that we are heading ineluctably for an
apocalyptic environmental future.<br>
