Katharine Hayhoe on Climate and Extreme Weather</a></b><br>
"...whatever is happening we know that things are different now than
they were fifty or a hundred years ago.<br>
They're different in many ways because of air pollution because of
ocean acidification and because of the warming of the planet and all
of these are because we have been burning fossil fuels"<br>

interview with Tim DeChristopher<br>
<b><a moz-do-not-send="true"

Change Mitigation, Adaptation and Suffering</a></b><br>
In this conversation, the Climate Disobedience Center's Tim
DeChristopher looks at how the progressive movement's strategies
need to change in now that climate change's real impacts are more
obvious to the American public. He addresses the focus on carbon
mitigation (policies for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions) in
light of the now very evident need for climate adaptation (adjusting
how we live to deal with the changes that come with a warming
planet), and the resulting suffering (the human, material, and
environmental costs of warming)<br>
I think that's not yet fully internalized on the left, that we are
in and increasingly moving into a radically different world where
disruption and climate chaos is the norm, and where collapse is
looming in front of us and where we’re going to be facing
contraction. I don't think that's really been internalized yet, and
so we talked about that at the Democracy Convention in our breakout
group as well. It seems like even in spaces like that, most folks
are still talking about how we can build this plane of democracy
that takes off, when our real need is to build the parachute of
democracy that can help us land more softly.<br>

Statement on Fossil Fuels, Petrochemicals,<br>
and a Just Recovery from Hurricane Harvey. </a></b> In only 48
hours, more than 130 organizations from the environmental justice,
fossil fuels, anti-fracking, plastics and chemical safety movements
joined this vital call for a clean and just recovery. <br>
<blockquote>September 21, 2017<br>
We, the undersigned organizations stand in support and solidarity
with the thousands of<br>
Texans affected by Hurricane Harvey and the hazardous chemical
releases that followed.<br>
While the full extent of the damage to these communities will not
be known for weeks or<br>
months, one troubling trend is clear: the dense concentration of
oil, gas, and<br>
petrochemicals facilities in the region has dramatically
compounded the already<br>
severe impacts of climate change on Gulf communities. As Harvey's
floodwaters shut<br>
down power grids and plants across Houston and the surrounding
counties, we witnessed<br>
one petrochemical facility after another exposing communities and
first responders to<br>
harmful levels of toxic pollutants.<br>
In addition to damaging approximately 100,000 homes in the Houston
area, Harvey<br>
caused the uncontrolled release of 4.6 million pounds of air
pollution from refineries and<br>
chemical plants across 13 counties, including known carcinogens.1
Testing by the New<br>
York Times has confirmed the extensive presence of toxic chemicals
in floodwaters<br>
across the region....<br>

Historians Will Look Back in Horror at Koch Network's Attacks on
Climate Policy, says Author Nancy MacLean</a></b><br>
For the first few weeks after publishing, all was going pretty
well.<br>
Nancy MacLean's book, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/533763/democracy-in-chains-by-nancy-maclean/9781101980965/">Democracy
in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan
for America</a>, was "deeply important" and a "feat of American
intellectual and political history," said a review in Publishers
Weekly.<br>
The New York Times said the book joined an emerging corpus of
important work of scholars and journalists that was "documenting the
systematic, organized effort to undermine democracy and change the
rules." <br>
But it didn't take long for the apparatus of the "radical right" to
swing into action, with attacks coming from many of the same
individuals and institutions that the Duke University history
professor documents in her book.<br>
"At some point the libertarians, particularly people who are part of
the apparatus in one way or another - either academics or the
think-tanks - weighed in, and did the same thing with my work as
they have done with climate science," says MacLean.<br>
"They don't engage the central message but instead try and find what
they imagine is a chink in the armor and they focus on that to try
and undermine the credibility of the messenger rather than engage
the substance of the message. They are still going… they're very
active."<br>
Mostly, the personal attacks have been in the public sphere "in the
guise of critiquing the work", although MacLean does admit to
getting the occasional "hateful email."<br>
The attacks are hardly surprising, given MacLean's central
accusation that they have been complicit in a project to strangle
democratic processes and demonise public authorities.<br>
"In the US, the impact has been enormous and this Koch network has
effectively taken over the Republican Party and turned it into a
delivery vehicle for this project," she says.<br>
"A classic example is on climate change when in the 1990s there was
no significant difference between the parties in the US on whether
climate change was happening.<br>
"There were policy differences about how you would address it but
there was no difference on the facts.<br>
"But by 2014, only eight out of 278 Republicans in Congress would
admit that climate change was man-made. That's an extraordinary
development and I would explain that by the way that Charles Koch's
donor network has applied Buchanan's insights into political economy
to change the rules of American politics and to change the
incentives."<br>
"This moment will be looked at with horror by future generations.
It's really frightening."<br>
But there is a chink of light, according to MacLean. The historian
says a common response from readers of her book is that it gives
people hope they can now wrestle back the reins of democracy.<br>
"If the majority understood what they were doing, they would stop
it. I think that's a really powerful thing to know," she says.<br>
"They are doing all of this in the knowledge that they can't win if
they say openly what their end game is. If people work to patiently
inform and activate the majority, then they could be stopped."<br>

is Illegal in Florida</b></a><br>
Posted: 19 Sep 2017<br>
Let's say you live in Florida. <br>
these new-age solar panels save you the trouble of buying and
installing a separate inverter to bump the output from 12 volts -
what the panels produce - to 120 volts - what most things in your
house require.<br>
You didn't do that because it gradually dawned on you...they never
tell you this up front - that the panels require power from the grid
to run the inverters. Know what that means? In a power outage, your
new solar panels are useless. When the grid is down, your panels
will churn out tons of 12 volt current that you can't use because
you can't plug your panels into the grid. Now, because you're smart
about these things, you didn't buy the new solar panels. To you,
saving a few bucks by selling your excess solar-panel output to the
power company is not as important as saving your butt in an
emergency. <br>
<b>Snag #1: If you install more than 10 kilowatts worth of solar
panels, you must pay FPL up to $1,000 for the privilege</b>. Not
for the panels, not for anything but the privilege. Why? Because
they can.<br>
<b>Snag #2: You are not going to be allowed to go off the grid.</b>
Even if you have installed enough solar power to run your house and
you want to do it, you are required by law to connect your system to
the grid. And you have to pay a monthly fee for that privilege, too.<br>
<b>Snag #3, aka The Big One: </b><a
href="https://boingboing.net/2017/09/18/rep-ray-rodrigues.html">You
are prohibited by law from throwing that switch.</a> That's
right. The law, written by FPL, requires you to install the switch
and forbids you to use it. The rationale is that you might
accidentally back-feed the grid and shock a lineman. You live in
Florida, after all, and might not be able to distinguish between the
label that says "ON" and the one that says "OFF."<br>
This is the state that will not permit anyone in government to use
the words "climate change," and that ignores the rising seas that
are intruding at high tide into the streets of Miami Beach, Coral
Gables, and countless coastal developments. <br>

New book warns climate change is making us sick<br>
Co-authored by Stanford wilderness medicine expert Paul Auerbach,
Enviromedics describes the frightening effects of climate change on
health.<br>
In 2008, Jay Lemery, MD, an emergency physician in Colorado, read a
commentary about the effects of global climate change on human
health. The author was Paul Auerbach, MD, professor of emergency
medicine at Stanford and one of the world's leading authorities on
wilderness medicine.<br>
Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the
article caught Lemery's attention.<br>
"What I immediately thought was we need to have a physician movement
around this," said Lemery, associate professor of emergency medicine
at the University of Colorado and section chief of wilderness and
environmental medicine.<br>
Now, a decade later, Lemery has co-authored a book with Auerbach
that delves into the growing health issues touched upon in that 2008
article - the countless, frightening ways that climate change is
increasing allergens, creating toxic algal blooms, inducing heat
stress, causing air degradation, and creating water and food
insecurity. The book, Enviromedics: The Impact of Climate Change on
Human Health, not only calls on physicians, but everyone on the
planet, to take note. The book is scheduled to be published in
October.<br>
The two physicians have treated patients with most of the illnesses
and conditions described in the book. Global warming, as far as they
know, is not causing new disorders, but rather spreading them and
making them worse. "This is an inventory of what happens when our
environment goes haywire, and all the checks and balances of an
ecosystem are gone," Lemery said. "We should all pause. We should
all worry."<br>

Hope for Paris Goals Overshadowed by Denier Spin in Coverage</strong></a><br>
Science reporting is notoriously hit-or-miss, as reporters
struggle to simplify complex science into something digestible for
the public. Sometimes this means <a

Other times, pieces can create misleading oversimplifications or
generate political spin. But usually, one study doesn't generate
both simultaneously. This week, we've seen an exception <a

impossibility, deniers arguing in good faith probably is.</span><br>
