of scientists issue bleak 'second notice' to humanity</a></b><br>
In late 1992, 1,700 scientists from around the world issued a dire <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ucsusa.org/about/1992-world-scientists.html">"warning
to humanity."</a> They said humans had pushed Earth's ecosystems
to their breaking point and were well on the way to ruining the
planet. The letter listed environmental impacts like they were
biblical plagues - stratospheric ozone depletion, air and water
pollution, the collapse of fisheries and loss of soil productivity,
deforestation, species loss and catastrophic global climate change
caused by the burning of fossil fuels.<br>
"If not checked," wrote the scientists, led by particle physicist
and Union of Concerned Scientists co-founder Henry Kendall, "many of
our current practices put at serious risk the future that we wish
for human society and the plant and animal kingdoms, and may so
alter the living world that it will be unable to sustain life in the
manner that we know."<br>
But things were only going to get worse.<br>
To mark the letter's 25th anniversary, researchers have issued a
bracing follow-up. In a <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://scientists.forestry.oregonstate.edu/sites/sw/files/Ripple_et_al_warning_2017.pdf">communique
published Monday in the journal BioScience</a>, more than 15,000
scientists from 184 countries assess the world's latest responses to
various environmental threats. Once again, they find us sorely
wanting.<br>

World Scientists' Warning to Humanity</a></b><br>
Some 1,700 of the world's leading scientists, including the majority
of Nobel laureates in the sciences, issued this appeal in November
1992. The World Scientists' Warning to Humanity was written and
spearheaded by the late Henry Kendall, former chair of UCS's board
of directors. Introduction:<br>
<blockquote>"Human beings and the natural world are on a collision
course. Human activities inflict harsh and often irreversible
damage on the environment and on critical resources. If not
checked, many of our current practices put at serious risk the
future that we wish for human society and the plant and animal
kingdoms, and may so alter the living world that it will be unable
to sustain life in the manner that we know. Fundamental changes
are urgent if we are to avoid the collision our present course
will bring about.<font size="-1">"</font><br>
</blockquote>
<b>WHAT WE MUST DO</b><br>
Five inextricably linked areas must be addressed simultaneously:<i>
(1992 version)</i><br>
<b>We must bring environmentally damaging activities under control
to restore and protect the integrity of the earth's systems we
depend on...</b><br>
<b>We must manage resources crucial to human welfare more
effectively...</b><br>
<b>We must stabilize population...</b><b><br>
</b><b>We must reduce and eventually eliminate poverty...</b><b><br>
</b><b>We must ensure sexual equality, and guarantee women control
over their own reproductive decisions...</b><br>

Democrats stage anti-Trump revolt at Bonn climate summit</a></b><br>
'I want to make it clear: The federal government is not just the
president of the United States,' Sen. Ben Cardin says.<br>
BONN, Germany - A handful of Democratic governors and scores of
other lawmakers and mayors are mounting an insurgency at the United
Nations climate conference here, orchestrating a highly
choreographed campaign to persuade world leaders that President
Donald Trump doesn't speak for the United States on climate change.<br>
Several Democratic U.S. senators began meeting last week with
officials from other countries, seeking to minimize Trump's
withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. Meanwhile, the
governors of California, Virginia, Oregon and Washington - along
with mayors from throughout the nation - were expected to touch off
a blitz of public appearances at the conference as the meeting
enters its final week.<br>
On Saturday, Democratic politicians, climate activists and
like-minded business interests sought to present the United States
as a country divorced from its president. Speakers repeated the
slogan, "We are still in," a message splayed across an electronic
ticker and on buttons at the unofficial U.S. pavilion. The
pavilion's estimated $235,000 cost was being covered by a coalition
including former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the
billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer.<br>
He added, "I mean, [Trump] can prohibit EPA employees from talking
to the public, and he can remove the word 'climate' from all the
government websites. But he can't stop the technological and
business revolution that's gaining speed around the world and
especially in the U.S."<br>

Carbon-Dioxide Removal Save the World?</a></b><br>
CO2 could soon reach levels that, it's widely agreed, will lead to
catastrophe.<br>
<b>By Elizabeth Kolbert</b><br>
Carbon Engineering, a company owned in part by Bill Gates, has its
headquarters on a spit of land that juts into Howe Sound, an hour
north of Vancouver.<br>
Corless and his team are engaged in a project that falls somewhere
between toxic-waste cleanup and alchemy. They've devised a process
that allows them, in effect, to suck carbon dioxide out of the air.
Every day at the plant, roughly a ton of CO2 that had previously
floated over Mt. Garibaldi or the Chief is converted into calcium
carbonate. The pellets are subsequently heated, and the gas is
forced off, to be stored in cannisters. The calcium can then be
recovered, and the process run through all over again.<br>
"If we're successful at building a business around carbon removal,
these are trillion-dollar markets," Corless told me.<br>
Carbon-dioxide removal is, potentially, a trillion-dollar enterprise
because it offers a way not just to slow the rise in CO2 but to
reverse it. The process is sometimes referred to as "negative
emissions": instead of adding carbon to the air, it subtracts it.
Carbon-removal plants could be built anywhere, or everywhere.
Construct enough of them and, in theory at least, CO2 emissions
could continue unabated and still we could avert calamity. Depending
on how you look at things, the technology represents either the
ultimate insurance policy or the ultimate moral hazard...<br>
One of the reasons we've made so little progress on climate change,
he contends, is that the issue has acquired an ethical charge, which
has polarized people. To the extent that emissions are seen as bad,
emitters become guilty. "Such a moral stance makes virtually
everyone a sinner, and makes hypocrites out of many who are
concerned about climate change but still partake in the benefits of
modernity," he has written. Changing the paradigm, Lackner believes,
will change the conversation. If CO2 is treated as just another form
of waste, which has to be disposed of, then people can stop arguing
about whether it's a problem and finally start doing something...<br>
No one can say exactly how warm the world can get before
disaster-the inundation of low-lying cities, say, or the collapse of
crucial ecosystems, like coral reefs-becomes inevitable. Officially,
the threshold is two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above
preindustrial levels... <br>
The I.P.C.C. considered more than a thousand possible scenarios. Of
these, only a hundred and sixteen limit warming to below two
degrees, and of these a hundred and eight involve negative
emissions. In many below-two-degree scenarios, the quantity of
negative emissions called for reaches the same order of magnitude as
the "positive" emissions being produced today.<br>
"The volumes are outright crazy," Oliver Geden, the head of the E.U.
research division of the German Institute for International and
Security Affairs, told me. Lackner said, "I think what the I.P.C.C.
really is saying is 'We tried lots and lots of scenarios, and, of
the scenarios which stayed safe, virtually every one needed some
magic touch of a negative emissions. If we didn't do that, we ran
into a brick wall.' "...<br>
Experts I spoke to said that the main reason C.C.S. [<i>carbon
capture storage</i>] hasn't caught on is that there's no
inducement to use it. Capturing the CO2 from a smokestack consumes a
lot of power-up to twenty-five per cent of the total produced at a
typical coal-burning plant. And this, of course, translates into
costs. What company is going to assume such costs when it can dump
CO2 into the air for free?<br>
"If you're running a steel mill or a power plant and you're putting
the CO2 into the atmosphere, people might say, 'Why aren't you using
carbon capture and storage?' " Howard Herzog, an engineer at M.I.T.
who for many years ran a research program on C.C.S., told me. "And
you say, 'What's my financial incentive? No one's saying I can't put
it in the atmosphere.' In fact, we've gone backwards in terms of
sending signals that you're going to have to restrict it."...<br>
"beccs is unique in that it removes carbon and produces energy,"
Glen Peters, a senior researcher at the Center for International
Climate Research, in Oslo, told me. "So the more you consume the
more you remove." He went on, "In a sense, it's a dream technology.
It's solving one problem while solving the other problem. What more
could you want?"...<br>
Negative emissions are built into the I.P.C.C. scenarios and the
climate agreements that rest on them...<br>
"You might say it's against my self-interest to say it, but I think
that, in the near term, talking about carbon removal is silly,"
David Keith, the founder of Carbon Engineering, who teaches energy
and public policy at Harvard, told me. "Because it almost certainly
is cheaper to cut emissions now than to do large-scale carbon
removal."...<br>
For these reasons, many experts argue that even talking (or writing
articles) about negative emissions is dangerous. Such talk fosters
the impression that it's possible to put off action and still avoid
a crisis, when it is far more likely that continued inaction will
just produce a larger crisis...<br>
One of the peculiarities of climate discussions is that the
strongest argument for any given strategy is usually based on the
hopelessness of the alternatives: this approach must work, because
clearly the others aren't going to. This sort of reasoning rests on
a fragile premise-what might be called solution bias. There has to
be an answer out there somewhere, since the contrary is too horrible
to contemplate...<br>
As a technology of last resort, carbon removal is, almost by its
nature, paradoxical. It has become vital without necessarily being
viable. It may be impossible to manage and it may also be impossible
to manage without. <br>

invest $1.8 billion in renewable energy by 2020. That's only about
10% of its total capital spending, but it's a transition other
utilities have already begun.<br>
In a press release discussing its future investments, AEP said it
will invest $1.8 billion in renewable energy between 2018 and 2020,
which seems small compared to its $18.2 billion capital spending
plans. But if you pull out $4.4 billion in investment for
distribution systems and $9 billion for transmission assets you see
that only $3.0 billion will be allocated to fossil fuel generating
assets.<br>
The 2018 to 2020 plan is also on top of a $<a moz-do-not-send="true"

In total, AEP will spend more on building/buying renewable energy

<b>A shift is happening at U.S. utilities</b><br>
The transition to renewable energy is happening because utilities

investing $4 billion in renewables since 2007. It's even investing
in battery storage as a new generation of grid asset.<br>

What's hidden under the Greenland ice sheet? | Kristin Poinar</a></b><br>
Published on Nov 6, 2017<br>
The Greenland ice sheet is massive, mysterious - and melting. Using
advanced technology, scientists are revealing its secrets for the
first time, and what they've found is amazing: hidden under the ice
sheet is a vast aquifer that holds a Lake Tahoe-sized volume of
water from the summer melt. Does this water stay there, or does it
find its way out to the ocean and contribute to global sea level
rise? Join glaciologist Kristin Poinar for a trip to this frozen,
forgotten land to find out.<br>

recovery of the North Atlantic right whale in a changing ocean</a><br>
</strong>"<em>Contrary to previous predictions, the right whale
population is projected to recover in the future as long as prey
availability and mortality rates remain within the ranges
observed during 1980 - 2012. However, recent events indicate a
northward range shift in right whale prey, potentially resulting
in decreased prey availability and/or an expansion of right
whale habitat into unprotected waters. An annual increase in the
number of whale deaths comparable to that observed during the
summer 2017 mass mortality event may cause a decline to
extinction even under conditions of normal prey availability.</em>"<br>

the death of half of the mangrove trees in this area.
Significantly, less genetically diverse mangrove species

thus predict that tropical coastal communities will be
seriously endangered as the global sea level rises.</span></em>"<br>

November 14, 2012: At a post-election press conference, President
Obama declares:<br>
"I think the American people right now have been so focused, and
will continue to be focused on our economy and jobs and growth, that
if the message is somehow we’re going to ignore jobs and growth
simply to address climate change, I don’t think anybody is going to
go for that. I won’t go for that. If, on the other hand, we can
shape an agenda that says we can create jobs, advance growth, and
make a serious dent in climate change and be an international
leader, I think that’s something that the American people would
support."<br>
