Cracking on Climate?</a></b><br>

We watched over 8 years as Republicans railed against the Affordable
Care Act, promising that they had a ready alternative, if only the
bad people would let them enact it. Well, now we see the sham that
was. Could something similar be going on in the climate change
arena? To appease rabidly anti-science donors the...<br>

San Mateo County sue big oil over climate change</a></b></font><br>
By Kurtis Alexander Updated 4:04 pm, Monday, July 17, 2017<br>
Two Bay Area counties and a Southern California city concerned about
rising sea levels sued 37 of the world's biggest oil and coal
companies Monday, claiming the fossil fuel giants should pay for
damages wrought by climate change - a first-of-its-kind challenge
that some liken to the high-stakes litigation of the tobacco
industry in the 1990s....<br>
The lawyers make the case that the oil companies knew about the
damage their actions were causing, denied it and instead sought to
discredit scientific findings that greenhouse gas emissions were
heating the earth's atmosphere.<br>
The suits are are the latest in a small but growing effort to hold
Chevron, ExxonMobil, BP, Shell and other major energy companies
accountable for the effects of climate change. Legal experts say the
challenge is far more comprehensive than previous endeavors and has
the advantage of containing the most up-to-date science.<br>
"This is a long-anticipated move in climate litigation,... You can
expect there will be a great deal of interest in how this litigation
proceeds."<br>
Representatives of several of the energy companies named in the suit
declined comment or did not respond to calls from The Chronicle....<br>
"Without defendants' fossil fuel-related greenhouse gas pollution,
current sea level rise would have been far less than the observed
sea level rise to date," the lawsuits say. "Similarly, committed sea
level rise that will occur in the future would also be far less."<br>
Lawyers for Marin, San Mateo County and Imperial Beach are seeking
to show that the energy companies have created a public nuisance -
legally, something that causes widespread harm. It's the same
doctrine that state attorneys general used in the late 1990s to win
a $206 billion settlement from the tobacco industry over the health
costs of cigarettes.<br>

Change in Average, Big Change in Extremes (graphic animation)</a></b></font><br>
Jun 14, 2017 By Climate Central<br>
Climate change is driving up summer temperatures across the country.
We often talk about warming in terms average temperatures, which can
be perceived as small to the public, but any rise in the average
temperature leads to a rise in the the number of days that are
extremely hot.<br>
Interactive graphs at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://wxshift.com/climate-change/climate-indicators/extreme-heat">http://wxshift.com/climate-change/climate-indicators/extreme-heat</a>
<br>
To understand what's happening, we need to get a little geeky and
take you back to Stats class. The classic bell curve represents the
distribution of all temperatures at a location. The bulk of
temperatures - those close to average - sit near the middle of the
curve. Record temperatures, which are rare, sit on the fringes, with
hot on right and cold on the left. As the world warms from the
increase in greenhouse gases, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wxshift.com/climate-change/climate-indicators/extreme-heat">the
whole curve shifts to the warmer side, the right.</a> This shift
results in a large jump in the number of extremely hot days and a
drop in the number of extremely cool days. It also means heat
records are more likely to be set than cold records. And it is these
extremes that impact our lives.<br>
That's what we are seeing across much of the country. Average summer
temperature have risen a few degrees across the West and Southern
Plains, leading to more days above 100°F in Austin, Dallas and El
Paso all the way up to Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City, and Boise.
It's worth noting that this trend has been recorded across the
entire Northern Hemisphere, as shown in <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div class="field__item even">
<p>Last Week, David Wallace-Wells wrote a cover story for of <em>New
York Magazine</em>, "<em><a
href="https://links3.mixmaxusercontent.com/mCvHnWZxvdrG62LyP/l/KRhM8uKjiVEkIhNGF?messageId=knd1D1gz7EpVAM2Qa&rn=&re=gInJ3buMXbhVmck52bt12bjBkcvRXakVmI">The
Uninhabitable Earth</a></em>," on some of the worst-case
scenarios that the climate crisis could cause by the end of
this century. It describes killer heat waves, crippling
agricultural failures, devastated economies, plagues,
resource wars, and more. It has been read more than two
million times.</p>
<p>The article has caused a major controversy in the climate
community, in part <a
href="https://www.commondreams.org/views/2017/07/10/fear-wont-save-us-putting-check-climate-doom">because
of some factual errors in the piece</a>—though by and
large the piece is an accurate portrayal of worst-case
climate catastrophe scenarios. But by far the most
significant criticism the piece <a
href="https://www.commondreams.org/views/2017/07/10/fear-wont-save-us-putting-check-climate-doom">received
was that it was too frightening</a>.</p>
<p>"Importantly, fear does not motivate, and appealing to it
is often counter-productive as it tends to distance people
from the problem, leading them to disengage, doubt and even
dismiss it," <a
href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/doomsday-scenarios-are-as-harmful-as-climate-change-denial/2017/07/12/880ed002-6714-11e7-a1d7-9a32c91c6f40_story.html">wrote</a>
Michael Mann, Susan Joy Hassol and Tom Toles at the <em>Washington
Post</em>.</p>
<p>Erich Holthaus <a
href="https://twitter.com/EricHolthaus/status/885521501725876224">tweeted</a>
about the consequences of the piece:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"A widely-read piece like this that is not suitably
grounded in fact may provoke unnecessary panic and anxiety
among readers."</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"And that has real-world consequences. My twitter feed
has been filled w people who, after reading DWW's piece,
have felt deep anxiety." <br>
<br>
"There are people who say they are now considering not
having kids, partly because of this. People are losing
sleep, reevaluating their lives." </p>
</blockquote>
<p>While I think both Mann and Holthaus are brilliant
scientists who identified some factual problems in the
article, I strongly disagree with their statements about the
role of emotions—namely, fear—in climate communications and
politics. I am also skeptical of whether climate scientists
should be treated as national arbiters of psychological or
political questions, in general. I would like to offer my
thoughts as a clinical psychologist, and as the founder and
director of <a
href="https://links8.mixmaxusercontent.com/mCvHnWZxvdrG62LyP/l/CG4EsyLEmSFWZ7cfF?messageId=knd1D1gz7EpVAM2Qa&rn=&re=gInJ3buMXbhVmck52bt12bjBkcvRXakVmI">The
Climate Mobilization.<br>
</a><span class="pullquote">"Our job is not to protect
people from the truth or the feelings that accompany
it—it’s to protect them from the climate crisis."</span><br>
<em>Affect tolerance</em>—the ability to tolerate a wide
range of feelings in oneself and others—is a critical
psychological skill. On the other hand, <em>affect phobia</em>—the
fear of certain feelings in oneself or others—is a major
psychological problem, as it causes people to rely heavily
on psychological defenses.</p>
<p>Much of the climate movement seems to suffer from affect
phobia, which is probably not surprising given that
scientific culture aspires to be purely rational, free of
emotional influence. Further, the feelings involved in
processing the climate crisis—fear, grief, anger, guilt, and
helplessness—can be overwhelming. But that doesn’t mean we
should try to avoid "making" people feel such things.
Experiencing them is a normal, healthy, necessary part of
coming to terms with the climate crisis. I agree with <a
href="https://links7.mixmaxusercontent.com/mCvHnWZxvdrG62LyP/l/8X7E8R0dO4Q1Kz9bE?messageId=knd1D1gz7EpVAM2Qa&rn=&re=gInJ3buMXbhVmck52bt12bjBkcvRXakVmI">David
Roberts</a> that it is OK, indeed imperative, to tell the
whole, frightening story. As I argued in a 2015 essay,<em> <a
href="https://www.commondreams.org/views/2015/04/27/transformative-power-climate-truth">The
Transformative Power of Climate Truth</a></em>, it's the
job of those of us trying to protect humanity and restore a
safe climate to tell the truth about the climate crisis and
help people process and channel their own feelings—not to
preemptively try to manage and constrain those feelings.</p>
<p>Holthaus writes of people feeling deep anxiety, losing
sleep, re-considering their lives due to the article… <em>but
this is actually a good thing</em>. Those people are
coming out of the trance of denial and starting to confront
the reality of our existential emergency. I hope that every
single American, every single human experiences such a
crisis of conscience. It is the first step to taking
substantial action. Our job is not to protect people from
the truth or the feelings that accompany it—it’s to protect
them from the climate crisis.</p>
<p>I know many of you have been losing sleep and reconsidering
your lives in light of the climate crisis for years. We at
The Climate Mobilization sure have. TCM exists to make it
possible for people to turn that fear into intense
dedication and focused action towards a restoring a safe
climate.</p>
<p>In my paper, <em><a
href="https://links9.mixmaxusercontent.com/mCvHnWZxvdrG62LyP/l/vytEzJBH71qL6kAsC?messageId=knd1D1gz7EpVAM2Qa&rn=&re=gInJ3buMXbhVmck52bt12bjBkcvRXakVmI">Leading
the Public into Emergency Mode—a New Strategy for the
Climate Movement</a></em>, I argue that intense, but not
paralyzing, fear combined with maximum hope can actually
lead people and groups into a state of peak performance. We
can rise to the challenge of our time and dedicate ourselves
to become heroic messengers and change-makers. <br>
<br>
I do agree with the critique, made by Alex Steffen among
others, that dire discussions of the climate crisis should
be accompanied with a discussion of solutions. But these
solutions have to be up to the task of saving civilization
and the natural world. As we know, the only solution that
offers effective protection is a maximal intensity effort,
grounded in justice, that brings the United States to carbon
negative <span>in 10 years</span> or less and begins to
remove all the excess carbon from the atmosphere. That's the
magic combination for motivating people: telling the truth
about the scale of the crisis and the solution. <br>
<br>
In <a
href="https://links7.mixmaxusercontent.com/mCvHnWZxvdrG62LyP/l/ljYRJulA5xB7r5n3X?messageId=knd1D1gz7EpVAM2Qa&rn=&re=gInJ3buMXbhVmck52bt12bjBkcvRXakVmI">Los
Angeles</a>, our ally City Councilmember Paul Koretz is
advocating a WWII-scale mobilization of Los Angeles to make
it carbon neutral by 2025. He understands and talks about
the horrific dangers of the climate crisis and is calling
for heroic action to counter them. Local activists and
community groups are inspired by his challenge.<br>

implemented, would actually protect billions of people and
millions of species from decimation. They include: 1) An
immediate ban on new fossil fuel infrastructure and a
scheduled shut down of all fossil fuels <span>in 10 years</span>;
2) massive government investment in renewables; 3)
overhauling our agricultural system to make it a huge carbon
sink; 4) fair-shares rationing to reduce demand; 5) A
federally-financed job guarantee to eliminate unemployment
6) a 100% marginal tax on income above $500,000.<br>
<br>
Gradualist half measures, such as a gradually phased-in
carbon tax or cap-and-trade system, that seem "politically
realistic" but have no hope of actually restoring a safe
climate, are not adequate to channel people's fear into
productive action. </p>
<p>We know what is physically and morally necessary. It's our
job—as members of the climate emergency movement—to make
that politically possible. This will not be easy,
emotionally or otherwise. It will take heroic levels of
dedication from ordinary people. We hope you<a

A climate change expert at the United States Geological Survey was
set to join Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg in Montana last weekend to
discuss the impact of global warming at Glacier National Park, but
two sources with knowledge of the matter say the scientist was
pulled from the visit by the U.S. Department of Interior just days
before the event.<br>
The decision has provoked suspicion from inside the USGS that the
scientist's appearance was canceled to minimize attention to the
issue of climate change, according to one source.<br>
"The impact of climate change is very clear at Glacier," Zuckerberg
wrote on Facebook. "In the last hundred years, the average global
temperature has risen 1.5 degrees. But in the high elevations of
Montana where Glacier is the temperature is warming at three times
the global average - enough to melt glaciers."<br>

has conned us into fighting climate change as individuals</a></b></font><br>
Martin Lukacs for The Guardian<br>
Stop obsessing with how personally green you live – and start
collectively taking on corporate power<br>
Would you advise someone to flap towels in a burning house? To bring
a flyswatter to a gunfight? Yet the counsel we hear on climate
change could scarcely be more out of sync with the nature of the
crisis.<br>
The email in my inbox last week offered thirty suggestions to green
my office space: use reusable pens, redecorate with light colours,
stop using the elevator.<br>
Back at home, done huffing stairs, I could get on with other
options: change my lightbulbs, buy local veggies, purchase
eco-appliances, put a solar panel on my roof.<br>
And a study released on Thursday claimed it had figured out the
single best way to fight climate change: I could swear off ever
having a child.<br>
These pervasive exhortations to individual action - in corporate
ads, school textbooks, and the campaigns of mainstream environmental
groups, especially in the west - seem as natural as the air we
breath. But we could hardly be worse-served.<br>
While we busy ourselves greening our personal lives, fossil fuel
corporations are rendering these efforts irrelevant. The breakdown
of carbon emissions since 1988? A hundred companies alone are
responsible for an astonishing 71 percent. You tinker with those
pens or that panel; they go on torching the planet.<br>
The freedom of these corporations to pollute – and the fixation on a
feeble lifestyle response – is no accident. It is the result of an
ideological war, waged over the last forty years, against the
possibility of collective action. Devastatingly successful, it is
not too late to reverse it.<br>
Anything resembling a collective check on corporate power has become
a target of the elite: lobbying and corporate donations, hollowing
out democracies, have obstructed green policies and kept fossil fuel
subsidies flowing; and the rights of associations like unions, the
most effective means for workers to wield power together, have been
undercut whenever possible.<br>
Neoliberalism has not merely ensured this agenda is politically
unrealistic: it has also tried to make it culturally unthinkable.
Its celebration of competitive self-interest and
hyper-individualism, its stigmatization of compassion and
solidarity, has frayed our collective bonds. It has spread, like an
insidious anti-social toxin, what Margaret Thatcher preached: "there
is no such thing as society."<br>
The good news is that the impulse of humans to come together is
inextinguishable – and the collective imagination is already making
a political come-back. The climate justice movement is blocking
pipelines, forcing the divestment of trillions of dollars, and
winning support for 100% clean energy economies in cities and states
across the world. New ties are being drawn to Black Lives Matter,
immigrant and Indigenous rights, and fights for better wages. On the
heels of such movements, political parties seem finally ready to
defy neoliberal dogma.<br>
None more so than Jeremy Corbyn, whose Labour Manifesto spelled out
a redistributive project to address climate change: by publicly
retooling the economy, and insisting that corporate oligarchs no
longer run amok<br>
But it is time to stop obsessing with how personally green we live –
and start collectively taking on corporate power.<br>
