weather makes Arctic warmer than parts of Europe</a></b><br>
On the northern tip of Greenland, the Cape Morris Jesup
meteorological site has had a record-smashing 61 hours of
temperatures above freezing so far in 2018, linked to a rare retreat
of sea ice in the Arctic winter darkness.<br>
"It's never been this extreme," said Ruth Mottram, a climate
scientist at the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI). Warmth was
coming into the Arctic both up from the Atlantic and through the
Bering Strait, driving and cold air south.<br>
Around the entire Arctic region, temperatures are now about 20C (36
degrees F) above normal, at minus eight degrees Celsius (17.6
degrees F), according to DMI calculations...<br>
"What we once considered to be anomalies are becoming the new
normal. Our climate is changing right in front of our eyes, and
we've only got a short amount of time to stop this from getting
significantly worse," he told Reuters...<br>

Any sort of large opening in the sea ice north of Greenland is
abnormal. This is where thick, old sea ice once dominated. And even
at the end of summer in September, this area is normally
ice-covered.<br>
"This has me more worried than the warm temps in the Arctic right
now," says Mike MacFerrin, a University of Colorado scientist
specializing in ice sheets. "That sea ice north of Greenland [is]
among the last vestiges of old, thick sea ice existing in the Arctic

Rising temperatures and overfishing in the pristine waters around
the Antarctic could see king penguin populations pushed to the brink

The report, published in the <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Nature Climate Change</a>, found that as global warming transforms

penguins could either disappear or be forced to find new breeding
grounds...<br>
And as the distance between their breeding grounds and their food
grows, scientists predict entire colonies will be wiped out.<br>
Le Bohec, who led the study with Robin Cristofari from the Centre
Scientifique de Monaco and Emiliano Trucchi from the University of
Ferrara in Italy, said the plight of the king penguin should serve
as a warning about the future of the entire marine environment in
the Antarctic...<br>

Millennials care about climate change</a></b><br>
The nonprofit Alliance for Market Solutions released new polling on
millennial attitudes about the reality of human-induced climate
change and efforts to combat it...<br>
The bottom line: Millennials are broadly convinced human-induced
climate change is real and deserves action, but millennial
Republicans are relatively less concerned...<br>
- Slightly over three-fourths of millennials agree that humans
should take steps to slow or stop climate change.<br>
- Majorities of varying degrees of Democrats, independents and
Republicans want action (see chart above).<br>
62% of millennials say the climate is changing due to human
activity, though under half of the young Republicans polled said
this comes closest to their view. (Note: The <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://science2017.globalchange.gov/">consensus view among
scientists</a> is that human activities are the primary driver of
rising temperatures.)<br>
- Almost 70% of millennials say climate change will either seriously
or somewhat affect them in their lifetimes.<br>
- A slim majority (51%) of young Republicans are concerned about
climate change, while 61% are concerned about air pollution.<br>

[mass mortality event (MME)]<br>
<b><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/25/mass-mortality-events-animal-conservation-climate-change">The
terrifying phenomenon that is pushing species towards extinction</a></b><br>
Scientists are alarmed by a rise in mass mortality events – when
species die in their thousands. Is it all down to climate change?<br>
The scientists on the ground pinpointed blood poisoning as the
cause, but were puzzled as to why whole herds were dying so quickly.
After 32 postmortems, they concluded the culprit was the bacterium
Pasteurella multocida, which they believe normally lives harmlessly
in the tonsils of some, if not all, of the antelopes. In a research
paper published in January in Science Advances, Kock and colleagues
contrasted the 2015 MME with the two from the 1980s. They concluded
that a rise in temperature to 37C and an increase in humidity above
80% in the previous few days had stimulated the bacteria to pass
into the bloodstream where it caused haemorrhagic septicaemia, or
blood poisoning...<br>
The weather link raises the spectre of climate change. Just as it is
rarely wise to link a single extreme weather event – whether it's
the Australian heatwave, last summer's Hurricane Harvey or this
winter's North American cold snap – to climate change, it is equally
difficult to blame an MME on global warming. But what can be said
with confidence is that the sorts of extreme weather events linked
to MMEs – such as the temperature and humidity rise that nearly
wiped out the saiga – will become more frequent...<br>
"The tragedy is, we will probably see more events like the event
that affected the saiga," he says. "Evolution takes millions of
years and if we have a shift in environmental conditions, everything
that's evolved in that particular environment is under different
pressures. Microbes adapt and can respond to changes quickly, but
mammals take hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years to
adapt. That's the real worry."<br>

href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-bp-significantly-upgrades-global-outlook-wind-solar-again">Analysis:
BP significantly upgrades its global outlook for wind and solar
– again</a></b><br>
BP, the oil and gas major, has significantly increased its global
outlook for wind and solar energy.<br>
The main scenario in the company's latest annual "Energy Outlook",
released yesterday, shows renewables rising four-fold to 2,000
million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) by 2035. This is an upwards
revision of around 400Mtoe compared to last year's main forecast.<br>
The projections also show, for the first time, global oil demand
peaking by 2040. Oil remains the world's largest fuel source,
however.<br>
This 2018 edition of BP's outlook also projects coal will peak
before 2030, an even earlier projection than it gave last year...<br>
BP's report focuses on its new "evolving transition" scenario, which
replaces its "base case" scenario from previous years (see more on
this below). However, it no longer says this is the "most likely"
future scenario.<br>
In this new projection, rising energy demand over the next 20 years
is driven by fast-growing developing economies, with China and India
accounting for half of the growth...<br>
It is worth a cursory note to emphasise that none of the scenarios
in the energy outlook are predictions. Instead, they are modelled
scenarios based on a range of different inputs. As BP puts it:<br>
<blockquote>"These scenarios are not predictions of what is likely
to happen or what BP would like to happen. Rather, they explore
the possible implications of different judgements and assumptions
by considering a series of "what if" experiments."<br>
</blockquote>
As Carbon Brief's comparisons of earlier outlooks shows, BP has
repeatedly underestimated the rise of renewables, as well as
overestimating the demand for coal....<br>
This year, BP has scrapped this "base case" and instead uses what it
calls the "evolving transition" scenario as its reference scenario
(red in the chart above). The new report stresses that this "does
not imply that the probability of this scenario is higher than the
others"...<br>
The evolving transition scenario assumes that government policies,
technology and social preferences continue to evolve "in a manner
and speed seen over the recent past". World GDP more than doubles by
2040, driven by increasing prosperity in fast-growing emerging
economies...<br>
This remains one of its highest emission scenarios, with carbon
emissions increasing over 10% by 2040. BP notes that carbon
emissions in this scenario are not consistent with achieving the
Paris Agreement goals. This highlights "the need for a more decisive
break from the past", it says...<br>
The CO2 emissions resulting from BP's evolving transition scenario
are shown in the graph below in orange. Note that projections go up
to 2040 for the first time, rather than 2035 as in recent years....<br>

Canal Skateway</a> season changes were interesting, and led to a
few pointers to additional data sets that show similar trends and
some rather odd counter-points from the usual suspects.<br>
Minnesotan Lakes<br>
The most comprehensive (and up-to-date) set of "ice out" data for
lakes is, unsurprisingly perhaps, from the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/ice_out/index.html">Dept. of
Natural Resources in Minnesota.</a> Data (sometimes patchy) goes
back in places to the 19th Century. The earliest data is for Lake
Pepin starting in 1843. By 1900, there are a further 6 lakes with
data: Clear, Christmas, Minnetonka, Osakis, Sagatagan, and
Shields...<br>
One commentator on twitter made a point of picking out Lake
Minnetonka, and noting that the earliest ice out date on record was
in 1878, as if that negated any of the long term trends there or
elsewhere. It is however quite interesting to look into data from
that year. Pepin, Osakis and Clear had huge anomalies that year, and
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://berkeleyearth.lbl.gov/regions/minnesota">estimates of
regional temperature</a> show a very warm winter that has only
recently been matched. Given the standard deviation in the residuals
(about 10 days), the 30+ day earlier ice out was a massive anomaly
(more than 3\sigma) and was noticed and commented on at the time.
Contemporary reports from Minneapolis described it the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/journal/1877_1878_winter.html">"Year
without a Winter".</a> But one warm winter does not a trend make,
and the trends in almost all the lakes are clearly towards an
earlier ice out over the last 40 years. Given the interannual
variability though, you still need a multiple decades to
significantly detect a trend of 10 days or so per century...<br>
Other North American lakes...<br>

"What we liked about it was that we were giving such a practical
product for such an absurd, horrible thing: climate change.<br>
"There's something lovely about the fact you can't really argue with
science: ice melts. There's that element," he said. <br>

Climate History February 27, 2009</a> - from D.R. Tucker</b></font><br>
February 27, 2009: MSNBC's Keith Olbermann leaves some clean coal in<br>
Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck's stocking:<br>
<blockquote>"The runner-up, Glenn Beck. We all laughed the first
time he attacked<br>
the carbon capture projects in the stimulus package, branding them<br>
'earmarks,' and saying, 'I don‘t even know what the hell that is.'<br>
But he's done it again, derisively saying: 'The spending bill,
'clean'<br>
of earmarks, has $800 million for carbon capture projects.'<br>
<br>
"Glenn, carbon capture projects...that‘s clean coal technology.
Last<br>
June, you claimed that Democrats, 'controlled by the radical<br>
environmental special interest groups,' were blocking clean coal<br>
technology. You support clean coal technology, nit wit!"<br>
