Scientists are expressing increasing skepticism that we're going to
be able to get out of the climate change mess by relying on a
variety of large-scale land-use and technical solutions that have
been not only proposed but often relied upon in scientific
calculations.<br>
Two papers published last week debunk the idea of planting large
volumes of trees to pull carbon dioxide out of the air - saying
there just isn't enough land available to pull it off - and also
various other strategies for "carbon dioxide removal," some of which
also include massive tree plantings combined with burning their
biomass and storing it below the ground.<br>

(Washington Post) On Thursday, a group of scientists, including
three working for the U.S. Geological Survey, published a paper that
highlighted the link between sea-level rise and global climate
change, arguing that previously studies may have underestimated the
risk flooding poses to coastal communities.<br>
However, three of the study's authors say the Department of
Interior, under which USGS is housed, deleted a line from the news
release on the study that discussed the role climate change played
in raising Earth's oceans.<br>
"While we were approving the news release, they had an issue with
one or two of the lines," said Sean Vitousek, a research assistant
professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. "It had to do
with climate change and sea-level rise."<br>
That deleted line, they said, read:<b> "Global climate change drives
sea-level rise, increasing the frequency of coastal flooding."</b><br>

The subject of climate change may or may not come up at a family
gathering or a cocktail party. If it does, you might hear people
debating some of the finer points of science, perhaps with little or
no climate science background.<br>
Skeptical Science is a science education group run by a global team
of volunteers. It's based on scientific literature that's gone
through the peer-review process, meaning the research has been
subjected to scrutiny by other experts in the same field.<br>
On its website, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://skepticalscience.com/">skepticalscience.com</a>
debunks many of the most common climate change myths, including
these:<font size="+1"><br>
</font>
<blockquote><i>Myth: Sure the climate's changing. It's always
changing and it's changed before.</i><br>
Mythbuster: Climate reacts to whatever forces it to change at the
time; humans are now the dominant force. In the past when the
Earth's temperature jumped abruptly, much as is happening today,
it was caused by large and rapid greenhouse gas emissions, just
like humans are causing today.<br>
<br>
<i>Myth: Humans are too insignificant to affect global climate.</i><br>
Mythbuster: When we experience weather events like hurricanes and
floods, it's very easy for us to feel insignificant and powerless
in the face of such massive natural forces. But since the
industrial revolution, with ever-increasing supplies of fossil
fuels, the activities of a dramatically expanding world population
have made significant alterations to the makeup of our atmosphere.
This is resulting in a change in weather patterns and ocean
currents; the melting of global ice formations; and an increase in
extreme weather events.<br>
<br>
<i>Myth: It's the sun.</i><br>
Mythbuster: Over the last 35 years the sun has shown a cooling
trend. However global temperatures continue to increase. If the
sun's energy is decreasing while the Earth is warming, then the
sun can't be the main control of the temperature.<br>
<i><br>
</i><i> Myth: It hasn't warmed since 1998.</i><br>
Mythbuster: Every part of the Earth's climate system has continued
warming since 1998, with 2014, 2015 and 2016 breaking temperature
records.<br>
<br>
<i>Myth: Computer models are unreliable.</i><br>
Mythbuster: Climate models have already predicted many of the
phenomena for which we now have empirical evidence. Climate models
form a reliable guide to potential climate change.<br>
<i><br>
</i><i> Myth: It's not so bad.</i><br>
Mythbuster: Negative impacts of global warming on agriculture,
health and environment far outweigh any positives.<br>
<br>
<i>Myth: Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.</i><br>
Mythbuster: We commonly think of pollutants as contaminants that
make the environment dirty or impure. A broader definition of
pollutant is a substance that causes instability or discomfort to
an ecosystem, such as the rising levels of human-caused CO2 are
doing now.<br>
<i><br>
</i><i> Myth: There's no consensus.</i><br>
Mythbuster: There isn't a political consensus, but there's a
scientific consensus. Authors of seven climate consensus studied
have, depending on how exactly consensus is measured, found that
somewhere between 90% and 100% agree humans are responsible for
climate change, with most of the studies finding of 97% consensus
among publishing climate scientists.<br>
<br>
<i>Myth: Scientists can't even predict the weather.</i><br>
Mythbuster: Weather and climate are different; climate predictions
do not need the detail of a weather report. Climate models are not
predicting day-to-day weather systems. Instead, they are
predicting climate averages.<br>
<br>
<i>Myth: Mars is warming, too, and there are no humans there.</i><br>
Mythbuster: There is little actual evidence that Mars is warming.
We know the sun is not heating up all the planets in our solar
system because we can accurately measure the sun's output on
Earth.<font size="-1"><br>

According to a new study published in the Journal of the Canadian
Medical Association (CMAJ), as the temperature outside climbs, so
too does a woman's risk of gestational diabetes (GD), a type of
diabetes that develops during pregnancy in women with no previous
symptoms of diabetes. Like other types of diabetes, GD affects how
the body uses sugar and results in high blood sugar, which can
adversely affect the pregnancy, the health of the baby, and the
health of the mother too. Symptoms of gestational diabetes include
increased thirst, hunger, and urination, and blurred vision (all of
which can be present in healthy pregnancies, which is why doctors
routinely test for GD during pregnancy).<br>
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
GD affects nearly 10 percent of pregnancies in the United States.
What causes gestational diabetes: The hormones in the placenta
trigger insulin resistance, which interferes with the body's ability
to maintain healthy levels of blood sugar. Here's where climate
change makes things worse.<br>

Ben van Beurden, the chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell, took time
to speak to The Washington Post on May 17 during a visit to
Washington, and he touched on the oil giant's transformation,
climate change, millennials, the new Trump administration, economic
sanctions and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.<br>
It's been a turbulent couple of years for the Shell CEO. With the
roller coaster in crude oil prices, the company's stock has lurched
from a high of $83.12 a share six months after he took charge to a
low of $36.87. The stock has climbed back, but revenue has plunged
by a third since 2013. The shareholders' annual meeting is on May 23
at The Hague.<br>

Shell shareholders including the Church of England, European pension
funds and Dutch activists will send a signal to the board of the
Anglo-Dutch company this week by voting for it to set new climate
change goals.<br>
The challenge comes from a Dutch group of retail investors, who have
tabled a resolution for Shell's annual general meeting on Tuesday,
asking the company to establish carbon emission reduction targets.<br>
"A large group of institutional investors will make their
dissatisfaction with the company's position evident by voting for
this resolution," said Mark van Baal of Follow this. The Church of
England is among investors supporting the proposal, along with
several European pension funds.<br>

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Climate change will worsen
food and water shortages in the Middle East and north Africa, and
risk triggering more conflict and mass migration, with serious
implications for the wider world, lawmakers from NATO's
Parliamentary Assembly said Monday.<br>
"The long-term prospects for food and water security in the MENA
region are dire," said Osman Askin Bak, a member of the Turkish
Parliament who will present the draft report on Saturday at the
Parliamentary Assembly - a gathering of senior parliamentarians from
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's 28 member states.<br>
"Climate change will worsen the region's outlook," he added.<br>
War, poor governance, climate change and other issues have worsened
tensions over competition for scarce water and food in the Middle
East and north Africa, the lawmakers said.<br>

size="+1"> The Hill</font><br>
...it is abandoning the fight against climate change that will take
away U.S. jobs. The economic risks of ignoring the emerging global
market for clean energy are real. By abdicating its leadership role
on global climate change and backing away from policies that support
the Paris Climate Pledge, the Trump administration is - perhaps
unwittingly - removing incentives for American companies to compete
and innovate at the forefront of clean energy. And its actions to
defund education and research in fundamental areas and limit
immigration will further undermine U.S. potential as a crucible for
invention and commercialization...<br>
History suggests we are making a big mistake. A White House budget
report under the Obama administration provided evidence that among
all types of regulations benefits exceeded cost by the largest
margin for environmental initiatives. The recently enacted Mercury
and Air Toxics Standards was estimated to cost $8.1 billion
annually, but benefits came in at $28 billion to $77 billion. The
same regulation was estimated to have modest net positive impact on
employment, precisely because of the new jobs in the pollution
abatement and control industry.<br>
Clean energy has the potential to be much larger. Policy, for
instance in the form of a price on carbon dioxide, would prompt a
reorganization of economic activity towards cleaner sources of
energy. Once policy sends a clear signal, if past is prologue,
American businesses will rise to the challenge and, in doing so,
prepare to lead in a future low carbon world.<br>

(ABC News) Climate change is causing Lake Tahoe to warm sooner in
the spring than it has historically, disrupting the normal mixing of
shallow and deep water and undercutting gains made in reversing the
loss of clarity of the cobalt mountain lake, scientists say.<br>
"Climate change is impacting not only Lake Tahoe's water quality,
but also the health of its forests and its recreation-based
economy," said Joanne Marchetta, executive director of the Tahoe
Regional Planning Agency, which regulates the lake covering 191
square miles (495 sq. kilometers) along the Nevada-California
border.<br>
Until recently, the climatological cycles affecting Tahoe's clarity
had remained fairly constant since 1968, when experts first dropped
a white disk into the lake to measure how far down it remained
visible. Back then, it was more than 102 feet (31 meters) compared
to an average of about 69 feet (21 meters) now.<font size="-1">...<br>

Species: Report</span></a></h2>
</div>
Nearly one in five trees native to the Chicago area faces a serious
threat from climate change, according to a report published by the
U.S. Forest Service.<br>
The study, commissioned by foresters from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture in collaboration with nearly 100 local naturalist
groups, found that a hotter and wetter climate could decimate the
city's tree population if officials don't find new ways to stay
ahead of the changing landscape.<br>
The report zoomed out to 7 million-acre region stretching from
Milwaukee all the way to southwestern Michigan, detailing the
potential impact of climate change on trees native to the region.
But it also zeroed in on the Chicago Park District, ticking off the
unique challenges urban planters will face - and the strategies they
can harness to save the city's tree canopy.<br>
Of the 179 native tree species studied by the Forest Service, about
17 percent were rated with "moderate-high or high vulnerability" to
climate change, thanks to creeping dangers like wind damage, air
pollution, heat stress and storm runoff.<br>

Materials Safety Administration show. Contaminated soil was removed,
and no waterways were affected. There were no reported injuries to

Force Millions Of Americans To Move Inland</span></a></h2>
</div>
As coastal areas are deluged over this century, millions of mainland
Americans could be forced to flee inland, where they may overwhelm
already crowded cities, according to new research from the
University of Georgia.<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," said
Mathew Hauer, the University of Georgia demographer who wrote the
paper.<br>
