rebuff U.S. position <br>
</div>
<blockquote>Diplomats from eight Arctic nations are facing a
standoff today over the Trump administration's efforts to downplay
the importance of climate change in an Arctic Council ministerial
statement marking the end of the United States' two ...<br>
The five Nordic countries recently issued a statement strongly
affirming the Paris accord and vowing to take the lead on climate
and energy policies. At the same time, Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau supported the Paris Agreement on the floor of the
Parliament in Ottawa, Ontario, and called climate action
"particularly important amongst Arctic nations."<br>
It's not clear whether Canada and the Nordic countries are likely
to issue a joint informal statement on Paris if Tillerson and
Trump insist on dropping it from the formal declaration. The
Arctic Council has a history of friendly cooperation, and
observers say such a move would be a noted departure.<br>
State Department Ambassador David Balton conceded yesterday that
the Arctic Council ministerial statement was still a work in
progress, though he wouldn't confirm that climate change is at the
center of the dispute.<br>

Department Announces Final Rule to Reduce Methane Emissions
& Wasted Gas on Public, Tribal Lands </a></b></font><br>
<blockquote> US Department of the Interior<br>
Final Rule Limits Venting, Flaring and Leaking from Oil & Gas
Operations to Reduce Waste and Harmful Emissions, Provide Fair
Return to Taxpayers<br>
WASHINGTON - As part of the Interior Department's reform agenda to
create a cleaner and more sustainable energy future, and in
furtherance of the Obama Administration's Climate Action Plan,
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell today announced the
Methane and Waste Prevention Rule - a final rule that will reduce
the wasteful release of natural gas into the atmosphere from oil
and gas operations on public and Indian lands. The rule updates
30-year old regulations governing venting, flaring, and leaks of
natural gas, and will help curb waste of public resources, reduce
harmful methane emissions, and provide a fair return on public
resources for federal taxpayers, tribes and states. ...<br>
In addition, venting and leaks during oil and gas operations lead
to significant emissions of harmful methane - a greenhouse gas at
least 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide.<br>
The rule, which will be phased in over time, requires oil and gas
producers to use currently available technologies and processes
to cut flaring in half at oil wells on public and tribal lands.
Operators also must periodically inspect their operations for
leaks, and replace outdated equipment that vents large quantities
of gas into the air. Other parts of the rule require operators to
limit venting from storage tanks and to use best practices to
limit gas losses when removing liquids from wells. To ensure a
fair return to the American taxpayer, the rule also clarifies when
operators owe royalties on flared gas, and restores the
government's congressionally authorized flexibility to set royalty
rates at or above 12.5 percent of the value of production.<br>

class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight:
normal;">climate change</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>materials
he had received in his school mailbox in the same way he had
taught his students to think like scientists - with an objective
frame of mind.</div>
<blockquote> Fox was part of the first wave of 25,000 science
teachers in March who received an unsolicited package from the
Heartland Institute, a libertarian think tank, which casts doubt
on the role humans play in climate change. The package contains a
<a
href="https://www.heartland.org/_template-assets/documents/publications/12-04-15_why_scientists_disagree.pdf">booklet,</a>
'Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming,' a <a
href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP3bRZl8Xmk&feature=youtu.be">DVD</a>,
and a <a
href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3526415-Heartland-Institute-letter-to-educators.html">cover
letter</a>, which encourages educators to teach their students
that a lively debate over climate change continues to take place
among scientists.<br>
"None of my colleagues were fooled. I think we are all very aware
of the limitations of what we know now, because it obviously is a
relatively new subject," said Fox, an oceanography and earth
science teacher at Troy High School in Fullerton, California. "But
what they are proposing in this is just ludicrous."<br>
The booklet states that a scientific consensus-the often cited 97
percent of climate scientists who say humans are the primary cause
of climate change-does not exist. It also cites multiple climate
change studies pointing out their flaws....<br>
"It's a nefarious act to try to slip this kind of politically
motivated attack on science into the science classroom," said Ann
Reid, National Center of Science Education's executive director.
"It is the same old tired arguments suggesting that the climate
science is unsettled that they've been pushing for a long time."<br>

Climate Denial at The New York Times</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote> The naming of a "climate agnostic" as a regular
columnist risks turning the newspaper of record into a vehicle for
the spread of ignorance<br>
Stephens's editorial has generated a firestorm of responses from
The Times' readership, including thousands of letters to the
editor and escalating calls to boycott the paper until Stephens is
dismissed. This week, an array of prominent climate scientists
released an open letter picking apart the questionable logic and
bad science woven into Stephens's editorial.<br>
As often as not, modern science denialism is not overt but rather
indirect, with a qualification. Stephens himself admits there is
some evidence for global warming, but also claims that we need
more research—there is room for doubt, we shouldn't rush to
judgement or start taking precautions that may prove "costly."<br>
That was precisely the strategy taken by the tobacco industry for
so many years: the effort was not so much to deny outright that
cigarettes cause cancer, but rather to claim that we need more
research, that mice are not men, that the facts are not all in,
that "you can prove anything with statistics." This was the
"open-minded approach" taken by the Tobacco Institute, which
managed to simultaneously capture liberal rhetorics of tolerance
while casting public health advocates as closed-minded tyrants. It
was a stroke of rhetorical genius, harnessing the very skepticism
of science itself.<br>

href="http://thephoenix.com/boston/news/82563-generation-green/#ixzz2kqi0L9hP">This
Day in Climate History May 11, 2009 </a> - from D.R. Tucker</b></font><br>
<font size="+1">Boston Phoenix writer David Bernstein notes that the
GOP's rejection of climate science will eventually cost the party
votes:</font><br>
<blockquote><font size="+1">Generation Green<br>
Once derided as tree huggers, eco-friendly youth are now the
nation's most powerful (and feared) voting bloc. So why isn't
the GOP listening?<br>
"Republicans have a lot to say about the immorality of saddling
the next generation with our national debt. But when it comes to
leaving them a wrecked, depleted, and rapidly warming planet,
they are taking the exact opposite line. That's especially odd
when you consider how important that next generation is to the
faltering GOP - and how broadly united those voters, known as
Millennials, are in their concern over global warming and other
energy and environment issues.<br>
"GOP leaders claim to be courting these young adults, but that
apparently extends only to their use of Twitter and promises of
a "hip-hop" party makeover. Meanwhile, they seem intent on not
just opposing but wildly denouncing and denigrating this
generation's most unifying issue.<br>
he most senior Republican leaders, and the top GOP lawmakers on
energy and environment committees, keep shooting themselves in
the foot by spewing antiquated, anti-science nonsense.<br>
"If they continue this type of Neanderthal posturing, the GOP is
going to lose something a lot more valuable than its old
moderates, like Pennsylvania senator Arlen Specter, who last
week switched parties to become a Democrat.<br>
"Those who study Millennial politics say that the Republican
Party is on the verge of completely alienating the coming
generation - just as previous controversial platforms it has
endorsed ensured that the party kissed off such huge demographic
swaths as African-Americans, single women, and Hispanics, who at
present vote overwhelmingly Democratic."</font><br>
