<blockquote> If we mean what we say, no more new fossil fuels,
anywhere.<br>
One of the morbidly fascinating aspects of climate change is how
much cognitive dissonance it generates, in individuals and nations
alike.<br>
The more you understand the <a
href="https://grist.org/climate-change/2011-12-05-the-brutal-logic-of-climate-change/">brutal
logic of climate change</a> - what it could mean, the effort
necessary to forestall it - the more the intensity of the
situation seems out of whack with the workaday routines of
day-to-day life. <b>It's a species-level emergency, but almost
no one is acting like it is.</b> And it's very, very difficult
to be the only one acting like there<font size="-1">'</font>s an
emergency, especially when the emergency is abstract and
science-derived, grasped primarily by the intellect.<br>
<b>This <a
href="https://grist.org/article/why-climate-change-doesnt-spark-moral-outrage-and-how-it-could/">psychological
schism</a> is true for individuals, and it's true for nations.
Take the Paris climate agreement.</b><br>
In Paris, in 2015, the countries of the world agreed (<a
href="http://www.vox.com/2014/4/22/5551004/two-degrees">again</a>)
on the moral imperative to hold the rise in global average
temperature to under 2 degrees Celsius, and to pursue "efforts to
limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees." To date, 62
countries, including the United States, China, and <a
href="http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/10/02/496305658/india-ratifies-paris-climate-change-agreement">India</a>,
have ratified the agreement.<br>
Are any of the countries that signed the Paris agreement taking
the actions necessary to achieve that target?<br>
No. The US is not. Nor is the world as a whole.<br>
The actions necessary to hold to 2 degrees, much less 1.5 degrees,
are simply outside the bounds of conventional politics in most
countries. Anyone who proposed them would sound crazy, like they
were proposing, I don't know, a war or something.<br>
So we say 2 degrees is unacceptable. But we don't act like it is.<br>
This cognitive dissonance is brought home yet again in a <a
href="http://priceofoil.org/content/uploads/2016/09/OCI_the_skys_limit_2016_FINAL_2.pdf">report
published in October from Oil Change International</a> (in
collaboration with a bunch of green groups). It's about fossil
fuels and how much of them we can afford to dig up and burn, if
we're serious about what we said in Paris. It's mostly simple
math, but the implications are vast and unsettling.<br>
Let's start from the beginning.<br>
<b>Staying beneath 2 degrees means immediately and rapidly
declining emissions</b><br>
The report recommends that 2 degrees be seen instead as "an upper
limit, a defense line that needs to be stringently defended, while
less warming would be preferable."<br>
That math is daunting.<br>
<b>Staying beneath 2 degrees means ceasing all new fossil fuel
development</b><br>
First, a quick tour of terminology. There are fossil fuel
resources (what is ultimately recoverable), reserves (what is
known and economically recoverable), and developed reserves (what
is known and recoverable in currently operating mines and fields).<br>
If we are serious about what we said in Paris, then no more
exploring for new fossil fuels. No new mines, wells, or fossil
fuel infrastructure. And rapid, managed decline in existing fossil
fuels.<br>
<b>We are betting our species' future on our ability to bury
carbon</b><br>
Obviously, that assumption could be wrong on either end. CCS
[Carbon Capture and Storage] could develop faster than expected or
turn out to be utterly impractical and too costly on any time
scale. It's too soon to know.<br>
What is clear is that we are betting our collective future on
being able to bury millions of tons of carbon. It's a huge and
existentially risky bet - and maybe one out of a million people
even know it's being made.<br>
<b>Humanity is in a desperate situation</b><br>
There are modeling scenarios that show us hitting our climate
targets. But we should take no comfort from them. The fact is, we
have waited until perilously late to act on climate change, and
our range of options has narrowed. We face three choices:<br>

The Paris climate deal set a temperature limit of "well below 2C"
of global warming, and says there should be "efforts" to limit it
to 1.5C. But how much time do we have left before our greenhouse
gas emissions take us past these thresholds?<br>

<blockquote>Been bitten by a tick this year? As we edge toward the
summer months, scientists warn that more of us could be in for
that irritating nip, as tick numbers seem set to soar–and with
them, the potential for a boom in cases of usually rare infections
like the Powassan virus.<br>
Another danger is that as the climate warms, it appears to be
increasing the length of time in which ticks can stay active and
feed. And scientists say that shift could be responsible for this
year's predicted bumper tick season.<br>
