    <blockquote>The city of Chicago has launched a <a
href="https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/sites/climatechange/home.html">website
        dedicated to climate change</a> based on information formerly
      found on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's website.<br>
      According to a press release, the launch was sparked by an April
      29 announcement from the EPA that its own website was being
      updated "to reflect EPA's priorities under the leadership of
      President [Donald] Trump and Administrator [Scott] Pruitt."<br>
      "The Trump administration can attempt to erase decades of work
      from scientists and federal employees on the reality of climate
      change, but burying your head in the sand doesn't erase the
      problem," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement. "We are going to
      ensure Chicago's residents remain well informed about the effects
      of climate change."<br>
      Topics related to climate change on the EPA website are today
      buried inside an "a to z" index, although most of the information
      available on the site before April 29 – including how and why the
      climate is changing – has been removed. A snapshot of what the
      site looked like on Jan. 19 is available for viewing, in addition
      to a press release about the changes.<br>
      On Chicago's site, users can find information on the science
      behind climate change, how climate change impacts weather, and
      actions the federal government has taken to reduce the impact of
      climate change, according to the release.<br>
      "Cities are becoming central in the climate fight. In the absence
      of federal leadership, this is a key moment for local action,"
      Henry Henderson, Midwest director for the Natural Resources
      Defense Council, said in a press release.<br>
      The city also announced Sunday the creation of a tool that enables
      users to save, archive and preserve open data from public portals,
      such as the EPA site. <br>

    <blockquote> The measure was declared on Sunday afternoon and will

      Across the province of Quebec, in Canada's east, nearly 1,900
      homes have already been flooded across 126 towns and cities,
      authorities say.<br>
      Some 1,200 troops have reportedly been deployed to help evacuate
      people.<br>
      "Our troops are responding quickly and professionally and are
      already beginning to deliver critical support to Canadians
      affected by the flooding," Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said.<br>
      The emergency was declared in Montreal after three dikes gave way
      in the city's north.<br>

      ... have not heard any country yet suggesting that if the U.S. is

      <b>Military and Security Leaders Call on Tillerson & Mattis to
        Lead Together on Climate Security</b></a><br>
    RELEASE: U.S. Military and National Security Leaders Encourage
    Secretaries Tillerson and Mattis to Lead Together on Climate Change
    and Security<br>
    <blockquote> Washington, D.C., May 8, 2017 - The Center for Climate
      and Security (CCS), a policy institute with an Advisory Board of
      retired senior military officers and national security experts,
      today released two companion letters, one to Secretary of State
      Rex Tillerson and the other to Secretary of Defense James Mattis,
      encouraging them both to lead on addressing the security
      implications of climate change, and to work together in that
      effort. The letters were signed by a bipartisan group of senior
      retired military officers and national security officials with
      significant experience across Republican and Democratic
      Administrations (some of whom served directly with Secretary
      Mattis in the past). The letters come at a critical time, as the
      current Administration begins to plot its international engagement
      strategy on this important security challenge...<br>
      The letters show that the military and national security community
      views climate change as a strategically-significant risk. The
      current Administration should take serious note of that in their
      deliberations going forward. They also point to an opportunity for
      both Secretaries Tillerson and Mattis to work together on this
      challenge, and in doing so, demonstrate U.S. leadership on the
      international stage.<br>

        Evangelists Are Taking Over Your Local Weather Forecast</a></b><br>
    <blockquote> Sunny with a scientific certainty of climate change.
      More at 11.<br>
      Amber Sullins gets a minute or two to tell up to two million
      people about some extremely complicated science, using the tools
      of her trade: a pleasant voice, a green screen, and small icons
      denoting sun, clouds, rain, and wind. She is the chief
      meteorologist at ABC15 News in Phoenix, so her forecasts mostly
      call for sunshine. Within this brief window, however, Sullins
      sometimes manages to go beyond the next five days. Far beyond.<br>
      Broadcast television still commands enormous attention within the
      U.S. weather industry, even at a time when the curious can summon
      the temperature and forecast by pulling a device out of their
      pockets. But weather apps haven't digitized weather prediction.
      Despite the hype about artificial intelligence, it still takes an
      actual human to predict the weather-and, for millions of people,
      there's just no substitute for a photogenic and trustworthy
      meteorologist.<br>

    Benjamin Barber<br>
    <blockquote> It can't be left to dysfunctional nation states to
      tackle – but as Oslo and Seoul have shown, metropolitan centres
      can rise to the challenge of global warming<br>
      Is it because the consequences of carbon emissions seem
      hypothetical, or too far off? Politicians pay few costs for doing
      nothing, and receive little credit for acting aggressively. In the
      US, a nation that contributes one-fifth of all global greenhouse
      emissions (China is responsible for another fifth), Donald Trump
      has promised to reopen coal mines and free up oil drilling.<br>
      The problem isn't the science. The merchants of doubt who claim
      there is a climate science that is open to scientific debate are
      not scientific adversaries at all. They are political adversaries,
      mostly bought and paid for. It is in the realm of politics that
      the struggle for sustainability must be fought and won.<br>

    <blockquote> WASHINGTON - <b>The Environmental Protection Agency
        has dismissed at least five members</b> of a major scientific
      review board, the latest signal of what critics call a campaign by
      the Trump administration to shrink the agency's regulatory reach
      by reducing the role of academic research.<br>
      A spokesman for the E.P.A. administrator, Scott Pruitt, said he
      would consider replacing the academic scientists with
      representatives from industries whose pollution the agency is
      supposed to regulate, as part of the wide net it plans to cast.
      "The administrator believes we should have people on this board
      who understand the impact of regulations on the regulated
      community," said the spokesman, J. P. Freire.<br>
      The dismissals on Friday came about six weeks after the House
      passed a bill aimed at changing the composition of another E.P.A.
      scientific review board to include more representation from the
      corporate world.<br>
      President Trump has directed Mr. Pruitt to radically remake the
      E.P.A., pushing for deep cuts in its budget - including a 40
      percent reduction for its main scientific branch - and instructing
      him to roll back major Obama-era regulations on climate change and
      clean water protection. In recent weeks, the agency has removed
      some scientific data on climate change from its websites, and Mr.
      Pruitt has publicly questioned the established science of
      human-caused climate change...<br>
      Representative Lamar Smith, the Texas Republican who is the
      chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology,
      wrote the House-passed bill intended to restock the Science
      Advisory Board with more members from the business world.<br>
