Senator Endorses 'Price on Carbon' to Fight Climate Change</a></b><br>
Sen. Lindsey Graham endorsed a "price on carbon" to fight climate
change, breaking with much of the Republican Establishment.<br>
Speaking at a climate change conference held by former Secretary of
State John Kerry at Yale University, the South Carolina Republican
called for a "price on carbon," saying he would take the idea to the
White House for consideration.<br>

The Bodily Pain Of Future Climate Change</a></b><br>
The same is, unfortunately, true for our leaders. Today, we have
politicians who make policies or pass laws that deny or worsen the
effects of climate change. I'm suggesting that these actions are
due, in part, to a failure of simulation. Our elected leaders may be
capable of imagining and discussing climate change (though some
choose not to), but it's unlikely that they simulate the vivid
sensations of suffering that might result from their decisions.<br>
Jared Diamond, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, makes some
foreboding observations in his book Collapse: How Societies Choose
to Fail or Succeed. Past civilizations have fallen, he writes, when
their leaders became insulated from the consequences of their
actions until it was too late. From a neuroscience perspective, this
means the leaders - even well-meaning ones - were not simulating
those future consequences. By the time the consequences arrived so
the leaders could experience them first hand, a course correction
was impossible. Our federal approach to climate change appears to
be a textbook example of this shortsightedness.<br>

to move icebergs</a></b><br>
As companies step deeper into the Arctic, Russian oilmen and
researchers together find ways to handle drifting icebergs.<br>
With funding from oil company Rosneft, a group of researchers spend
40 days in the northern parts of the Barents and Kara Seas to
explore ways to move icebergs.<br>
The Kara Leto-2017 is the second expedition of its kind. In 2016,
the researchers successfully managed to move icebergs with a weight
up to one million tons.<br>
So far this year, they have moved icebergs with a weight up to
200,000 tons, Rosneft says. In addition to the towing operation of
the ice, the researchers explore mechanisms for early detection and
monitoring of ice formations. Two satellite radio beacons have been
attached to a 75x35 meter iceberg and 3D scanning of the object
made, the researchers say.<br>
Involved are specialists from Rosneft along with researchers from
the Arctic and Antarctic Institute and the Arctic Science Center,
the latter a unit subsidiary of the oil company.<br>
According to the Arctic and Antarctic Institute says the capacity to
move icebergs is of key importance for offshore oil and gas
developers. During the planning of the Shtokman field in the Barents
Sea, the Russian field developers were challenged by up to 100
drifting icebergs, some of them more than three million tons heavy.
The first research on ways to prevent collisions between icebergs
and oil installations was subsequently conducted in the years
2004-2005, the Institute says.<br>

Study Stoneflies? Climate Change Biologist Scott Hotaling
Explains</b><br>
</a>"What we're trying to figure out is, if you take the entire
genome which is the template for everything these stoneflies, the
template for everything we do, our genome, our behavior, our hair
color, our eye color, everything about us, and you look across it,
huge swaths of that genome, most of it, we'll say 99 percent, is not
going to have anything to do with surviving warmer conditions. But
some of it might. Finding the thing that is associated with thermal
tolerance in a stonefly that's never been studied that lives in the
meltwater of a glacier is a pretty big challenge."<br>
