<blockquote> WASHINGTON - Thousands of people across the U.S. are
marching on President Donald Trump's hundredth day in office to
demand action on climate change.<br>
In Washington, D.C., large crowds on Saturday made their way down
Pennsylvania Avenue in sweltering heat. Later, they encircled the
White House. Organizers say about 300 other protest marches are
expected around the country.<br>
Participants in the People's Climate March say they're objecting
to Trump's rollback of restrictions on mining, oil drilling and
greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants, among other
things.<br>

Date Written: April 2017 Abstract:<br>
This paper investigates the presence and influence of radical
flanks on field-level debates. We study the ability of radical
flank actors to shift the focus of these debates by increasing the
legitimacy of pre-existing but peripheral issues. We apply this
conceptual model to the empirical context of the climate change
debate in the United States and the efforts of Bill McKibben and
350.org to pressure major Universities and Colleges to divest
their financial investments in fossil fuel assets. As these new
actors and issue entered the debate, we find that, while
divestment itself gained limited traction, liberal policy ideas,
which had previously been marginalized in the U.S. debate, gained
increased attention and legitimacy. Using network text analysis,
this paper expands theories of how social movements affect
organizational fields through a discursive radical flank mechanism
while also illuminating key dynamics in climate change politics.<br>

<b><a
href="http://www.climatesignals.org/climate-signals/increased-extreme-heat-and-heat-waves">Increased
Extreme Heat and Heat Waves</a></b><br>
<blockquote> One of the strongest findings of climate science is
that global warming amplifies the intensity, duration and
frequency of extreme heat events. These events occur on multiple
time scales, from a single day or week, to months or entire
seasons. The more extreme the heatwave, the more likely the event
can be attributed to global warming. Roughly 75% of extreme heat
events globally are attributed to climate change. The signal of
climate change is particularly reflected in record-breaking heat
waves. Records are more likely to be broken when natural variation
runs in the same direction as climate change - in this instance,
towards hotter temperatures. 85% of recent record-hot days
globally are attributed to climate change.<br>
<b>Record hot days: record cold days</b><br>
In a stable climate, the ratio of days that are record hot to days
that are record cold is approximately even. However in our warming
climate, record highs have begun to outpace record lows, with the
imbalance growing for the past three decades.[1] 85% of recent
record-hot days globally are attributed to climate change.<br>
<b>The More Extreme the Heatwave, the More Likely the Event is Due
to Global Warming</b><br>
A small shift in climate leads to a dramatic increase in the
frequency of temperatures at the high end. The very most extreme
events are the events most affected by climate change. As the
average global temperature rises and the climate shifts, hot
temperatures that were extreme under the old climate are closer to
the middle of the new temperature range. Under the earth's climate
system, events closer to the midpoint of the climate range occur
much more frequently than events closer to the extremes, as shown
in the graphic on the right. <br>
...it is the rarest and the most extreme events - and thereby the
ones with typically the highest socio-economic impacts - for
which the largest fraction is due to human-induced greenhouse gas
emissions.[6]<br>
<b>Global trends</b><br>
Since 1950, the number and duration of heat waves worldwide has
increased due to global warming. The hottest days and nights have
become hotter and more frequent, and the most extreme heat events
now impact a global area 10 times greater than in the period
1951-1980...<br>
An April 2017 study found that anthropogenic global warming has
had a significant hand in the temperatures seen during the hottest
month and on the hottest day on record throughout much of the
world from 1931-2016. The study found that climate change made
heat records were more likely and more severe for about 80 percent
of the area of the globe with good observational data.<br>
<b>US trends</b><br>
In the United States, exposure to extreme heat is already a
significant public health problem and a leading cause of
weather-related mortality...<br>
Heat waves have generally become more frequent across the US in
recent decades, with western regions setting records for numbers
of these events in the 2000s. There has also been a dramatic
increase in nighttime temperatures in the US, reducing the number
of critically important relief windows during heat waves...<br>
New record high temperatures now regularly outnumber new record
lows by a ratio of 2:1.[1] This trend is one of the clearest
signals of climate change that we experience directly. There has
also been a dramatic increase in nighttime temperatures in the US,
reducing the number of critically important relief windows during
heat waves...<br>
Model simulations using the A2 emissions scenario found that by
mid-century, people in the US can expect a four to sixfold
increase in the number of days exceeding 95°F (35°C).<br>

York Times Rocked: Angry Readers Cancel following Climate Denier
Hire</a></b><br>
<blockquote> Willful ignorance may be protected speech, but it does
not deserve a place in the United State's most important newspaper
of record.<br>
They let us down historically over Iraq.<br>
They apparently felt that Clinton's emails were more important
than Trump's Russian mafia connections. They covered up FBI
investigation of #Russiagate prior to election.<br>
I was giving them a chance to recover - and they had hired some
new reporters for for climate issues.<br>
The column is so deeply flawed that New York Times reporters and
news editors immediately started slamming it on twitter. Even Andy
Revkin, the former Times climate reporter and blogger whom
Stephens quotes twice in his piece, slammed Stephens' piece on
twitter as featuring "straw men" and other flaws.<br>

<b><a href="https://youtu.be/4i--Uq8VXas">(YouTube Video) Wall
Street Journal's Bret Stephens REFUSES to acknowledge science in
climate change debate</a></b><br>
<blockquote> On Real Time with Bill Maher, guest Bret Stephens from
the Wall Street Journal simply refuses to acknowledge science in a
debate about man made global warming and climate change<br>
The Stephens column proves three things:<br>
Bret Stephens doesn't understand the first thing about climate
science (and he provides no actual facts to support his claims).<br>
The NY Times editorial page staff apparently also doesn't
understand climate science.<br>
Editorial page editor James Bennet was not telling the truth when
he told Huffington Post last week that the opinion side of the
Times applies the "same standards for fairness and accuracy."<br>
Indeed, the basic errors in Stephens' piece are so basic it is
stunning that the New York Times published them - especially in
the Trump era, where the paper advertises itself as a defender of
truth.<br>

<blockquote> Lawrence Torcello<br>
...I'm a climate alarmist because there is no morally responsible
way to downplay the dangers that negligent policies - expected to
accelerate human-caused climate change - pose to humankind...<br>
There can be no greater crime against humanity than the
foreseeable, and methodical, destruction of conditions that make
human life possible - hindsight isn't necessary....<br>
Scientists confirm, in overwhelming consensus, the fundamental
facts that make anthropogenic global warming a clear and present
threat to humanity and other species...<br>
There is no amount of ideological deception capable of altering
basic physics, chemistry and biology. It is ethically untenable
for intelligent people to look the other way while elected
officials deny reality, and our opportunity to avoid catastrophe
slips away...<br>
We know that the continued acceleration of climate change will
bring more droughts, rising seas, more extreme weather, longer
forest fire seasons and destructive storm surges. This in turn
would lead to more water stress, crop failures, poverty,
starvation, warfare and ever worsening refugee crises....<br>
The moral, and existential, implications of human-caused climate
change should by now have triggered full-scale, World War II style
effort to end fossil fuel dependence and associated greenhouse gas
emissions...<br>
The global community ought to have engaged in a renewable energy
"arms race" years ago. Instead, we burn away time while fossil
fuel interests fund negligent campaigns of disinformation and
politicians stage fake debates over the science of climate
change....<br>
The climate policies of the Trump administration, backed by many
Republican leaders, are rooted in culpable ignorance and
transparent corruption. And they place us all at risk on a scale
that previous crimes against humanity never have...<br>
Civility and fair mindedness do not require hospitality to
policies that hasten the destruction of a livable planet. We don't
depend on hindsight to recognize the moral gravity of our current
situation...<br>
We will search in vain for a better reason to depose elected
officials. Every legal resource to remove such leaders is
justified. We can't pretend we don't know the nature of what is
unfolding. We are witnessing a crime against humanity - and the
potential prelude to future genocide.<br>
We are the bystanders who must choose to intervene or be defined
by our failure.<br>
