Wants to Steer UN Climate Cash Toward Building Coal Plants</a></b><br>
(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. will seek to use a United Nations fund
designed to aid nations hard hit by climate change to promote the
construction of coal-fired power plants around the world.<br>
The U.S. already donated $1 billion to the so-called Green Climate
Fund, and it can now use its seat on that board to advance
American-energy interests globally, a White House official said.<br>
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe climate
negotiations at the just-concluded summit of Group of 20 leaders in
Germany. A U.S. commitment to "work closely with other countries to
help them access and use fossil fuels more cleanly and efficiently"
was highlighted in a statement issued by the group last week.<br>

Problem With Climate Doomsday Reporting, And How To Move Beyond
It</a></b><br>
by James Wilt, DeSmog Canada, July 12, 2017<br>
It's not often that an article about climate change becomes one of
the most hotly debated issues on the internet - especially in the
midst of a controversial G20 summit.<br>
But that exact thing happened following the publication of a lengthy
essay in New York Magazine titled "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html">SubmitThe
Uninhabitable Earth: Famine, Economic Collapse, a Sun that Cooks
Us: What Climate Change Could Wreak - Sooner Than You Think</a>.<font
size="+1"><i>"</i></font><br>
In the course of 7,200 words, author David Wallace-Wells chronicled
the possible impacts of catastrophic climate change if current
emissions trends are maintained, including, but certainly not
limited to: mass permafrost melt and methane leaks, mass
extinctions, fatal heat waves, drought and food insecurity, diseases
and viruses, "rolling death smog," global conflict and war, economic
collapse and ocean acidification...<br>
Slate political writer Jamelle Bouie described the essay ... as
"something that will haunt your nightmares."<br>
It's a fair assessment. Reading it feels like a series of punches in
the gut, triggering emotions like despair, hopelessness and
resignation.<br>
But here's the thing: many climate psychologists and communicators
consider those feelings to be the very opposite of what will compel
people to action.<br>
"Based on my research on climate communications, this article is
exactly what we don't need," says Per Espen Stoknes, Norwegian
psychologist and author of What We Think About When We Try Not to
Think About Global Warming: Toward a New Psychology of Climate
Action, in an interview with DeSmog Canada.<br>
<b>Climate Psychologists Recommends 'Positivity Ratio' of 3:1</b><br>
Let's get one thing out of the way.<br>
Critics of the New York Magazine article - and other instances of
doomsday journalism - are not anti-science. These are all people who
firmly recognize the severity of catastrophic climate change, and
are certainly not petitioning for a bury-your-head-in-the-sand
approach, shielding the public from the potential horrors.<br>
Rather, they suggest that most people will only process such facts
about climate change if it's framed in an appropriate way that
acknowledges how individuals and societies respond to potentially
traumatic threats.<br>
...there's a well-known "positivity ratio" for optimal engagement of
a 3:1 ratio of opportunities to threats. He says the New York
Magazine piece was around nine threats to every one proposed
solution.<br>
In other words, a tripling of the ratio in the wrong direction.<br>
<b>Article Sticks to Hard Science, Ignoring Role of Social Sciences</b><br>
The author of the New York Magazine article has already responded to
a series of criticisms on Twitter, including on the scientific merit
of some of his claims.<br>
A rather revealing moment was when Wallace-Wells replied to a
critique from renowned futurist Alex Steffen - who had described the
article as "one long council of despair" - by suggesting that "my
own feeling is that ignorance about what's at stake is a much bigger
problem."...<br>
But Daniel Aldana Cohen - assistant professor of sociology at the
University of Pennsylvania and author of the response piece in
Jacobin titled "New York Mag's Climate Disaster Porn Gets It
Painfully Wrong" - suggests in an interview with DeSmog Canada that
Wallace-Well's approach indicates a failure to engage with any
questions about broader sociopolitical systems.<br>
"I think in the politics of climate change, a narrow idea of climate
science is fetishized," says Cohen, adding that even the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change largely fails to include
social sciences in working group reports.<br>
... Wallace-Wells' article sketches out a narrative of catastrophic
climate change that assumes people don't act on the knowledge of the
situation.<br>
<b>But in a cruel twist, by only focusing on the science without any
attempt to contextualize it in society or political systems, it
could well have the reverse effect by making readers feel even
more powerless.</b><br>
This isn't a new problem: Stoknes notes that as identified by James
Painter of Oxford University's Reuters Institute for the Study of
Journalism, about 80 per cent of media coverage on the last
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report used
"catastrophe framing," with less than 10 per cent using "opportunity
framing."<br>
"It's not just about pointing your fingers at the climate skeptics
and saying that's the problem," Norgaard says.<br>
Of course, it's a major problem. But the apathy or acquiescence of
the majority of people who are aware and do care is a larger
problem. It's about how we mobilize those people."<br>
<b>If Framed Correctly, Idea of Apocalypse Can Help People<font
size="-1"> </font>Imagine Alternatives</b><br>
Stoknes argues that thinking about such a sobering subject as
apocalypse or death, if done correctly, can actually help people
conceptualize new ways of thinking and being.<br>
<blockquote>"This psychological approach to the apocalypse is very
important, and I found it completely absent in the article...It is
not about predicting a certain year in the future of linear time,
when everything will be collapsing. Maybe this notion is more like
a call in the here and now, calling attention to the urgent need
for a deep rethink of where we are and letting go of some
cherished Western notions that we've been stuck in over the last
century."<br>
</blockquote>
Such a sentiment is echoed by climate psychologist Renee Lertzman
and author of Environmental Melancholia: Psychoanalytic Dimensions
of Engagement, who emphasizes in an interview with DeSmog Canada
that predictable fault lines have formed in the wake of the New York
Magazine piece.<br>
A key factor for her is how humans actually process information that
may be challenging and bring up difficult feelings. She says the
consensus is that we can become "cognitively impaired" when the
brain's limbic system becomes activated, resulting in reduced
capacity to have functions for strategy, foresight, collaboration
and tolerance.<br>
"That goes out the window when your limbic system is activated,
which arguably articles like this are going to do," she says. "The
best way to deal with that reality is to address how we can soothe
and disarm our defences."<br>
<b>'We Need to Also Be Engaged in Collective Political Action and
Solutions'</b><br>
That's certainly not going to be an easy feat. But there are plenty
of initiatives out there that are embracing a bit more nuance.<br>
Lertzman points to Project Drawdown - an attempt to compile the 100
top solutions to climate change - as a powerful initiative, although
she suggests "even that is missing the emotional taking stock of
where we are." Cohen shouted out the work of the Yale Program on
Climate Change Communication and Texas Tech climate scientist
Katharine Hayhoe.<br>
But central to progressing beyond the gridlock of current climate
discourse is likely via bringing it closer to the local level, where
people feel they can actually influence things.<br>
CBC's new podcast <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cbc.ca/listen/shows/2050-degrees-of-change">2050:
Degrees of Change</a> is a good example of this. While it paints a
dramatic picture of life in B.C. under climate change, it also uses
a scenario under which the world has drastically decreased
greenhouse gas emissions.<br>
"We wanted listeners to end off realizing this is a middle of the
road scenario and things could be worse and they could be better
depending on what we choose to do now," Johanna Wagstaffe, podcast
host and CBC senior meteorologist, told <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.desmog.ca/2017/07/04/qa-host-cbc-s-badass-new-podcast-about-climate-change">DeSmog
Canada</a>.<br>
Norgaard says engaging with issues on a local level can give people
a leverage point into even greater engagement.<br>
"We really need to on the one hand be aware that it's something we
need to respond to as a collective," she says. "Riding your bike is
great, but we need to also be engaged in collective political action
and solutions. That's part of what helps people to do something
proactive that's real."<br>

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Crews battled dozens of wildfires raging
across California on Wednesday, gaining ground on several of the
more destructive blazes as forecasters warned that hot, dry,
tinderbox conditions would persist across the U.S. West.<br>
In Northern California, by late Wednesday afternoon firefighters had
cut containment lines around more than half of the so-called Wall
Fire, which has damaged or destroyed more than 100 structures, 44 of

Europe swelters as heatwave sparks wildfires and closes tourist

A heatwave is rolling across southern Europe, fuelling wildfires,
exacerbating droughts in Italy and Spain and leading the Greek
authorities to close some of the most popular tourist sites.<br>
Blazes have broken out across southern Italy and Sicily, where the
temperatures have climbed above 40C this week.<br>
Wildfires near the Calampiso seaside resort west of Palermo, the
Sicilian capital, forced the evacuation by boat of more than 700
tourists on Wednesday night.<br>
About 10 people were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation but
there were no reports of serious injuries. The resort will remain
closed until the weekend.<br>
High temperatures compounded by strong winds enabled the fires to
spread after months of below-average rainfall. Farm animals perished
while several farms and more than 150 hectares of pine forest were
destroyed in a blaze in Sicily this month.<br>
In Spain, where the drought has devastated cereal crops and could
threaten the grape and olive harvests, seven southern provinces were
on their highest heat alert with temperatures forecast to rise above
44C on Thursday.<br>

of the Apocalypse: All around the world, scientists are building
repositories of everything from seeds to corals to mammal milk</a></b><br>
...in multiple languages, with headlines like "World's 'Doomsday'
Seed Vault Has Been Breached by Climate Change." It didn't matter
that the flood happened seven months earlier, or that the seeds
remained safe and dry. We had just lived through the third
consecutive year of the highest global temperatures on record and
the lowest levels of Arctic ice; vast swaths of permafrost were
melting; scientists had recently announced that some 60 percent of
primate species were threatened with extinction. All these facts
felt like signposts to an increasingly hopeless future for the
planet. And now, here was a mini-fable suggesting that our attempts
to preserve even mere traces of the bounty around us might fall
apart, too.<br>
The seed vault is perhaps the best-known project in a growing global
campaign to cache endangered phenomena for safekeeping. Fortunately
- the leak snafu notwithstanding - scientists, governments and even
private companies have become quite good over the last decade at
these efforts to bank nature. The San Diego Zoo's Frozen Zoo
cryogenically preserves living cell cultures, sperm, eggs and
embryos for some 1,000 species in liquid nitrogen. Inside the
National Ice Core Laboratory, in Lakewood, Colo., a massive freezer
contains roughly 62,000 feet's worth of rods of ice from rapidly
melting glaciers and ice sheets in Antarctica, Greenland and North
America. The Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington maintains the
world's largest collection of frozen exotic-animal milk, from
mammals large (orcas) and small (critically endangered fruit bats),
in order to help researchers figure out how to nourish the most
vulnerable members of any species: babies. An international project
called Amphibian Ark engages in ex situ conservation by relocating
amphibians, the most endangered class of animal, indoors for
safekeeping and sperm collection...<br>
But the world, as always, is changing - and now we're fomenting and
accelerating that process in ways we don't fully understand. The
banks themselves are vulnerable to that change. All manner of things
can go wrong: power outages, faulty backup generators, fires,
floods, earthquakes, contamination, liquid-nitrogen shortages, war,
theft, neglect. In early April, a freezer failure at a University of
Alberta cold-storage facility allowed some 590 feet of ice cores to
melt, turning tens of thousands of years of frozen clues about the
earth's climate into puddles that one glaciologist, surveying the
sad aftermath, likened to a swimming-pool changing room. The
associated data that indicates what's in these vaults - the genomes,
the origin stories - could be hacked, corrupted, lost or just
formatted in such a way as to be inscrutable to those who might try
to decipher it later. These are the kind of anxieties that Oliver
Ryder, a director at the San Diego Zoo's Global Institute for
Conservation Research, turns over in his mind in the middle of the
night. "It is not, 'Is something bad going to happen?'" he told me.
"Over time, bad things will happen. They always do." […]<br>

Consideration of the social and political consequences of climate
change are often based on future projections. In the case of
Nigeria, however, the effects of climate change are already visible.
It is an important contributing factor in ethnic and religious
conflict, quarrels over land use, and the disaffection of at least
some Nigerians from their government. Moreover, because of our close
partnership, the effects of climate change in Nigeria have important
consequences for U.S. interests and security elsewhere in Africa.<br>

Solutions to Weather and Climate Risk at Pennsylvania State

The Defense Department is studying how a changing physical
environment caused by climate change will affect where the U.S.

that will reverse climate change so that climate-caused social
instability in parts of the world can be avoided, thereby making it

<b>Here's How to Bribe Everyone Into Fighting Climate Change</b></a><br>
KEVIN DRUM JUL. 12, 2017 <br>
This is a list of various groups and why they resist the big changes
necessary to halt climate change:<br>
- Regular people: don't want to be constantly badgered and guilted
about the car they drive or the meat they eat.<br>
- Poor countries: don't want to be stuck forever in low-energy
poverty compared to currently rich countries.<br>
- Oil companies: don't want their businesses to crater because no
one is buying fossil fuels anymore.<br>
- Republicans: don't like the business regulations that would be
necessary to truly address climate change.<br>
- The rich: don't want to pay the taxes necessary to address climate
change.<br>
- OPEC countries: don't want to leave $10 trillion of wealth sitting
in the ground.<br>
- I've probably missed some, but you get the idea. The problem is
that there are simply too many powerful groups who are fundamentally
opposed to dramatic action on climate change. The odds that we'll
get even half of them to see the light in time to make a difference
is pretty small.<br>
Like it or not, then, we have to bribe everybody. Here are the
bribes we have to offer:<br>
- We have stop guilting people about their personal choices.
Instead, spend a ton of money putting them to work building and
installing solar/wind infrastructure.<br>
- We have to make sure poor countries can continue to grow. That
means spending money on infrastructure for India, Malaysia, Bolivia,
etc.<br>
- We have to ensure that oil companies get a piece of the
de-carbonization pie.<br>
- We have to give up on trying to regulate our way to carbon
reduction. Sure, a carbon tax would still help things along, but it
doesn't have to be massive.<br>
- We have to give the rich a piece of the de-carbonization pie.
Frankly, this will probably happen automatically.<br>
- We have to give OPEC-what? I'm not really sure what we can do for
OPEC.<br>
This is what leads me to think that our only real chance of success
is to spend vast amounts of money on R&D and infrastructure
buildout.<br>
