Shareholders Approve Climate Resolution: 62% Vote for
Disclosure</a></b><br>
</b>The landmark investor vote defied Exxon's management. It
requires the oil giant to begin reporting climate-related risks to
its business.<br>
ExxonMobil shareholders voted Wednesday to require the world's
largest oil and gas company to report on the impacts of climate
change to its business - defying management, and marking a
milestone in a 28-year effort by activist investors.<br>
Sixty-two percent of shareholders voted for Exxon to begin
producing an annual report that explains how the company will be
affected by global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
under the Paris climate agreement. The analysis should address the
financial risks the company faces as nations slash fossil fuel use
in an effort to prevent worldwide temperatures from rising more
than 2 degrees Celsius.<br>
Last year, 38 percent of Exxon shareholders supported essentially
the same measure, which at the time was a record.<br>

...It's a victory for environmental activists, who have been urging
the oil company to consider the economic impact the Paris accord
would have if it were fully implemented. The global agreement calls
for more investment in renewable energy and for deep cuts in the
greenhouse gas emissions that result from burning fossil fuels....<br>
The nonbinding proposal passed at the company's general meeting in
Dallas on Wednesday...<br>
As the Dallas Morning News reports, a vote that resounding indicates
that major Wall Street investors are following the lead of
environmental activists on this issue.<br>

</div>
As the Northern Hemisphere warms faster than the Southern, Earth's
rain belts may shift to the North<br>
The Earth's rising temperature is expected to knock the global water
cycle out of whack, but exactly how it will change is uncertain.
Scientists, though, can look for clues as to what the future might
bring in the major climate swings that have happened in the past.<br>
A new study that does just that suggests that Earth's rain belts
could be pushed northward as the Northern Hemisphere heats up faster
than the Southern Hemisphere. That shift would happen in concert
with the longstanding expectation for already wet areas to see more
rain and for dry ones to become more arid...<br>
Because the Northern Hemisphere has more landmass, it is heating up
faster than the Southern Hemisphere, and, as some climate models
have suggested, this could push the thermal equator northward, and
along with it those key rain belts.<br>

</div>
After months of speculation, it might finally be happening:
President Trump appears ready to withdraw the United States from the
2015 Paris climate agreement. If he does, he will place Washington
at odds with virtually the entire international community.<br>
Despite the excited tone of Trump's tweet (and reports suggesting
that he had made up his mind), the matter seemed far from settled at
the time of writing. The president's daughter, Ivanka Trump, and
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson are supposedly urging Trump to
stick with the Paris agreement. A host of big companies have urged
Trump to reconsider withdrawing. On Wednesday, the shareholders of
ExxonMobil, Tillerson's former company, voted by a wide margin for a
resolution they say will compel the oil giant to stick to the goal
of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Many analysts also point
to how clean energy is fueling job growth: There are already twice
as many solar jobs as there are coal jobs in the United States.<br>
Their opponents include White House chief adviser Stephen K. Bannon
and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, a
climate skeptic who has already set about dismantling Obama-era
regulations on the U.S. fossil fuel industry. Trump seems inclined
toward the Bannon and Pruitt position, which has some - though not
unanimous - support from the Republican Party. (Only in the United
States, of course, is the question of climate change subject to
partisan debate.)<br>
If the United States withdraws from the accord, it would find itself
in farcically lonely company. The pact was signed by 195 countries,
with only Nicaragua and Syria bowing out.<br>
"This is a craven, symbolic political move without any direct
benefits for the constituents he’s targeting."<br>

Who Wins if Donald Trump Exits the Paris Climate Accord?</a></b><br>
A handful of anonymous senior White House officials have begun
telling the press that President Donald Trump plans to withdraw the
U.S. from the Paris Accord climate deal, adding fuel to rumors that
have circulated for months that he would follow through with his
campaign promise.<br>
A "small team including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt" has begun
drafting up a detailed plan to orchestrate America's withdrawal,
according to Axios, which reported that Trump's mind was made up.
Shortly after that report, Trump tweeted he would soon be announcing
his decision. Several commentators noted Trump has repeatedly seemed
to reverse course just before making a policy announcement.<br>
If Trump does decide to back away from Paris, he'll be taking the
U.S. down a path decried by an unusually broad cast of political
players, including oil and gas giants, coal companies, the pope and
even, by some polls, 50 percent of Republican voters.<br>
"The decision, which will be announced this week, would put the US
at odds with nearly every other nation on earth," CNN reported,
adding that the December 2015 Paris accord has been signed by every
country in the word except two: war-torn Syria and Nicaragua, which
had urged even tougher climate controls. (147 of the 195 signers
have ratified the accord as of May)....<br>
Over 300 major U.S. corporations - including Apple, Johnson &
Johnson, Dow Chemical Co., General Electric and more - threw their
weight behind the Accord. Tesla CEO Elon Musk threatened to drop out
of White House advisory councils if Trump drops out of Paris...<br>
In a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal, Musk and roughly
thirty other CEOs of major American companies, including the heads
of major Wall Street firms like Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and
JP Morgan, made their conclusions clear. "Based on our vast
experience doing business all over the world, we believe there is
strong potential for negative trade implications if the United
States exits from the Paris Agreement," they wrote.<br>
U.S. newspapers have also backed remaining in Paris, with the
editorial boards of The Washington Post, the LA Times and USA Today
all coming to similar conclusions...<br>
In fact, one of the strongest behind-the-scenes players urging Trump
to withdraw from Paris might be the Koch Brothers, whose network of
think-tanks has campaigned hard for withdrawal, a DeSmog
investigation found.<br>
"Analysis carried out by DeSmog and the Climate Investigations
Center (CIC) shows many of the groups signing the letter have taken
multi-million dollar donations from groups tied to the Koch
brothers, who own Koch Industries," DeSmog's Graham Readfearn
reported. "Several of the groups have accepted cash from oil giant
ExxonMobil while many also deny the basic science linking fossil
fuel burning to dangerous climate change."<br>

the unpredictability in which governments will go about it," van
Beurden says. "If we have a very clear understanding that
governments, successive governments, will continue to act

The secretary-general sent a clear message to the U.S. about the
Paris climate accord. "The real danger is the risk to one's economy
by failing to act."<br>
Without naming the United States' president, the head of the United
Nations sent a message loud and clear to Donald Trump on Tuesday,
joining the chorus of international leaders who are not happy with
his efforts to erode progress in fighting climate change.<br>
In his first major address on climate change, delivered at New York
University, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres made
it clear that whatever the U.S. does - whether it remains in the
Paris climate agreement and attempts to backtrack on its own
commitments, or whether it exits - the rest of the world will
continue to work to reel in the disastrous impacts of climate change
before it's too late.<br>
"If any government doubts the global will and need for this accord,
that is reason for all others to unite even stronger and stay the
course," Guterres said.<br>

</div>
SACRAMENTO (AP) - Looking for allies in the fight against climate
change, California Gov. Jerry Brown heads to China this week in a
push to build foreign support for carbon-cutting efforts that have
found resistance in Washington.<br>
California will work with governments around the world to combat
climate change even if President Donald Trump rolls back
environmental regulations, Brown said in an interview with The
Associated Press.<br>
"It's important for the world to know that America is not
Washington. … Yes, we're part of the union, but we're also a
sovereign state that can promote the necessary policies that are
required for survival," Brown said.<br>
Brown is making his second trip as governor to China, where he will
promote the liberal state's ambitious climate policies at a
conference of global energy ministers and look to marshal states,
provinces, cities and other non-national governments to take their
own actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.<br>

</div>
A GOP congressman told constituents at a town hall meeting that if
climate change exists, God would "take care of it."<br>
Rep. Tim Walberg of Michigan was speaking to a group in Coldwater,
Mich., when he made the comments about climate change, saying that
he believes climate change is real, but that it is an issue for God
to solve.<br>
"I believe there's climate change," Walberg is heard saying in a
video ... Can man change the entire universe? No."<br>
Walberg goes on.<br>
"Why do I believe that? Well, as a Christian, I believe that there
is a creator in God who is much bigger than us," Walberg tells the
crowd. "And I'm confident that if there's a real problem, he can
take care of it."<br>
"Trump is not hurting the cause of climate change," said Brown.
"He's giving it new life and new vitality because his denial, his
statement that climate change is a hoax is so absurd and so
unbelievable and so outrageous that the grass roots, the governors,
people around the world have galvanized and he's actually creating
the exact opposite of what he wants."<br>

1992 </a> - from D.R. Tucker</b></font><br>
June 1, 1992: The Boston Globe's Dianne Dumanoski and Ross Gelbspan
report:<br>
<font size="+1">Summit goal has daunting barriers<br>
An increasing number of analysts believe that orthodox economics
itself is a major obstacle. Among them are Herman Daly, a World
Bank economist and a leading thinker on sustainable economies;
Robert Repetto of the World Resources Institute, a policy think
tank in Washington; and Hazel Henderson, a leading author and
thinker about alternative development.<br>
<br>
Economists like Repetto argue that the marketplace cannot adjust
to what it does not acknowledge: that there are finite limits to
the physical demands humans put on the Earth. He cites University
of Colorado economist Kenneth Boulding's comment that "anybody who
thinks the economy can continue to grow geometrically or
indefinitely in a finite world must be a madman, or an economist."<br>
<br>
[Alan Durning] sees consumerism as an obstacle to sustainable
societies because "the American dream has become the goal of world
development." Those who are not among the the fortunate 1 billion
desperately want to be, because they are "aware of it through
television, which is now the premier cultural force on Earth. It's
just phenomenal, the extent to which people all over the world
adopt the consumer-class lifestyle." </font><br>
