    for Energy, Installations and Environment, <b>initiated a
      preliminary Screening Level Vulnerability Assessment Survey
      (SLVAS) of DoD sites worldwide</b><br>
     The survey asked respondents to identify any negative effects they
    may have <br>
    experienced from extreme weather effects, both on the assets on the
    DoD site itself as well as any <br>
    observed effects on similar assets in the surrounding community that
    provided supporting services<br>
     (e.g., utilities, transportation, emergency response) for the DoD
    site.  <br>
    These included:<br>
    Flooding due to storm surge<br>
    Flooding due to non-storm surge events (e.g., rain, snow, sleet,
    ice, river overflow)<br>
    Extreme temperatures (both hot and cold)<br>
    Wind<br>
    Drought<br>
    Wildfire...<br>
    <b>Analysis, Trends and Conclusions</b><br>
    The SLVAS responses yielded a wide range of qualitative
    information.  The highest number of reported effects <br>
    resulted from drought (782) followed closely by wind (763) and
    non-storm surge related flooding (706)<br>
    About 10% of sites indicated being affected by extreme temperatures
    (351), while flooding due to storm surge (225) and wildfire (210)
    affected <br>
    about 6% of the sites reporting.  Nearly 50% of sites (1,684)
    reported they had no effects to any assets from the effects.  <br>
    The geographic dispersion of sites reporting negative effects from
    one or more effects was very broad and was very similar <br>
    to those reporting no effects at all.  <br>
    This may have more to do with the nature of a qualitative survey
    completed by hundreds of different users than it did the actual
    sites themselves.  <br>
    The asset categories most reported as having one or more effects in
    the past were: airfield operations, followed by transportation
    infrastructure, energy infrastructure, training/range facilities,
    and water/wastewater systems to round out the top five. 
    Logistics/supply operations ranked last in reported effects.  <br>
    The survey responses provide a preliminary qualitative picture of
    assets currently affected by severe weather events (e.g., storm
    surge, wildfires, high winds) as well as an indication of assets
    that may be affected by sea level rise in the future.<br>

        bullet' to suck CO2 from air and halt climate change ruled out</a></b><br>
    Scientists say climate targets cannot be met using the technologies,
    which either risk huge damage to the environment or are very costly<br>
    From simply planting trees to filtering CO2 out of the air, the
    technologies that some hope could be a "silver bullet" in halting
    global warming either risk huge damage to the environment themselves
    or are likely to be very costly.<br>
    Virtually all the pathways laid out by the UN's Intergovernmental
    Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to reach the targets in the Paris
    agreement require huge deployment of so-called negative emissions
    technologies (NETs) in the second half of the century.<br>
    This is because cuts in CO2 are expected to be too slow to hit zero
    emissions quickly enough, so the overshoot has to be recaptured
    later by NETs. The IPCC calculates that about 12bn tonnes a year
    will need to be captured and stored after 2050 - the equivalent of
    about a third of all global emissions today...<br>
    The new report is from the European Academies Science Advisory
    Council (EASAC), which advises the European Union and is comprised
    of the national science academies of the 28 member states. It warns
    that relying on NETs instead of emissions cuts could fail and result
    in severe global warming and "serious implications for future
    generations".<br>
    The report assesses the range of possible technologies, including
    "bioenergy with carbon capture and storage" (BECCS), on which the
    IPCC scenarios rely heavily. BECCS involves growing trees, which
    take CO2 from the atmosphere, and then burning them to produce
    electricity while capturing the emissions and burying them.<br>

    People in Cape Town, South Africa, have two and a half months to

    Zero."<br>
    <b>Cape Town, one of the largest cities in Africa, is running out of
      water.</b><br>
    Unless residents can limit their consumption, or the city gets a
    massive amount of rainfall within the next two months, the city of
    just over 4 million will become the first in the world to be
    completely drained of water.<br>
    On Feb. 1, the South African city's government ordered residents not
    to use more than 13 gallons of water a day, a 9-gallon drop from its
    previous mandate. (For scale, people in the US use between 80 and
    100 gallons of water a day.) The restrictions are part of its
    larger, desperate attempt to avoid "Day Zero," the ominous name
    given to the date that Cape Town is expected to be effectively
    waterless...<br>
    <b>- The situation in Cape Town is the result of a three-year-long
      drought that has dried up the city's dams, an event scientists say

      - Day Zero is when Cape Town is supposed to run out of water, but
      the date keeps changing..<br>
    </b><b>- In order to avoid Day Zero altogether, the Cape Town
      government has issued water restriction rules and set up

    </b><b>- People form long lines every day at the collection points
      to fill their jugs with water...<br>

      is a warning sign for other big cities dealing with drought...</b><br>

        the Inside: The Countdown to Day Zero</a></b><br>
    HELEN ZILLE  22 JAN 2018 (SOUTH AFRICA)<br>
    Those of us whose job it is to monitor developments in Cape Town's
    water crisis saw the indicators move sharply this week, in the wrong
    direction.<br>
    There was bad news - catastrophic actually - on three fronts:<br>
    - Cape Town's water usage went up again, to over 600-million litres
    per day, despite major efforts, over six months, to bring it down
    below 500-million litres.<br>
    - The SA Weather Service informed us that as far as forecasting
    goes, we are flying blind. Last year the forecast of a wet winter
    proved to be widely off the mark. On Friday, the SA Weather service
    told us bluntly: We cannot predict whether or when rain will come.
    Previous forecasting models have proved useless in the era of
    climate change.<br>
    - Day Zero - when the taps in suburbia are switched off - has moved
    from the realm of possibility to probability. There is no way in
    which water augmentation schemes will compensate for our ongoing
    failure to curb demand sufficiently in the short term...<br>
