industry faces calls to clean up emissions</b></a><br>
The global shipping industry is facing calls to follow the example
of the car industry and cut its carbon emissions.<br>
The International Maritime Organisation's environment committee is
meeting in London this week to try to agree a global plan for
reducing emissions levels.<br>
Without a clean-up there are warnings that shipping could account
for almost a fifth of carbon emissions by 2050.<br>
Container ships use fuel that has 3,500 times more sulphur than car
diesel.<br>
International shipping carries about 90% of world trade but there
has been no regulation of carbon emissions.<br>
This is despite a provision under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol that gave
responsibility for handling carbon emissions from marine fuels to
the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), the United Nations
division responsible for global shipping.<br>
It has proposed a 50% cut in emissions by 2050, a move that is
backed by Norway, but that does not go far enough for certain
Pacific island nations that are most threatened by rising sea
levels.<br>
Monday's meeting of the IMO's Marine Environment Protection
Committee will hear a proposal that emissions should be cut by as
much as 70% to 100% by that time.<br>

Steven Mufson - April 9 <br>
Shareholders battling corporate management over everything from
greenhouse gas emissions to discrimination to wasteful K-Cups are
finding it more difficult to put their proposed proxy resolutions to
votes as a result of new guidance issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.<br>
The SEC has widened the definition of "micromanaging" and business
relevance, and on five occasions this year sided with companies that
have refused to put proposals on shareholder proxy ballots.<br>
Campaign groups say the guidelines, issued in response to urgings
from business lobbying groups, could undermine one way for putting
pressure on companies.<br>

Massachusetts</a></b><br>
A former whaling port has been retrofitted to serve the wind
industry, a blade-testing center is up and running, and the state
has an offshore wind power mandate.<br>
BY JAN ELLEN SPIEGEL, INSIDECLIMATE NEWS<br>
In a few weeks, the state will announce which among three proposed
offshore wind projects it wants to move ahead. No matter which are
chosen, Massachusetts wins.<br>
That's because more than a decade ago, the state began developing
the onshore components for offshore wind, including a major offshore
wind-ready port in New Bedford, a wind turbine blade testing center
in Charlestown and workforce training initiatives. Officials
envisioned Massachusetts as the hub for an entire future East Coast
wind industry.<br>

Pike believes Massachusetts has the early edge to get some
manufacturing providing jobs for welders, electricians, carpenters.
"The big kahuna is manufacturing turbines," he said.<br>
The tricky part is convincing states to spend money now to get
offshore wind installation to a level that warrants development of a
U.S. supply chain to bring costs down.<br>
University of Delaware's McClellan offers elements of how to do
that: First is training a workforce. Another is structuring timing
so there are not more simultaneous projects than there are workers
or facilities to handle.<br>
"This is going to be a U.S. industry. This isn't going to be a
little blip on the radar screen of a global industry that's going to
be looked at as kind of the orphan," she said. The states may be in
competition, but "the more that they see themselves as 'all ships
float or sink' is a way that we need to move in this sector on the
East Coast."<br>

overview of "resilience" and climate change</a></b><br>
Alice C. Hill - W. Kakenmaster<br>
What do we mean when we speak in terms of "resilience?" Why has
"resilience" become the hot buzzword, and why is it useful for
political leaders who want to avoid saying the words "climate
change?" Will the choice of words make a difference when it comes to
the need to design infrastructure - roads, bridges, tunnels, houses,
factories, power plants, airports, railroads - with rising sea
levels, increased storms, and hotter temperatures in mind? <br>
Read this free-access article in the March/April digital Journal.<br>
Article Abstract<br>
Of all the divisive issues in the United States, climate change
ranks high. During the past presidential election cycle, Republican
candidate Donald Trump expressed serious skepticism about the
phenomenon, having famously tweeted that it was a "hoax." Democratic
candidate Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, championed the issue,
promising to build upon the climate change policies of
then-President Barack Obama. In both chambers of Congress, the
voting records of Democrats and Republicans dramatically diverge on
the topic (Dunlap, McCright, and Yarosh 2016 Dunlap, R., A.
McCright, and J. Yarosh. 2016. "The Political Divide on Climate
Change: Partisan Polarization Widens in the US." Environment:
Science and Policy for Sustainable Development.<br>
<br>
Disagreements about the issue infect nearly every dimension of the
climate debate (Funk and Kennedy 2016 Funk, C., and B. Kennedy.
2016. "The Politics of Climate." Pew Research Center, Internet and
Technology, October from what might be causing climate change to the
role of scientists in informing government policy, to scientists'
very understanding of whether climate change is even occurring. In
recent years, against this deep divide, one climate-related topic
has gained precious common ground: resilience - a term which can
mean everything from the ability to bounce back from increasingly
frequent natural disasters to building infrastructure that continues
to function even in the face of accelerating impacts from climate
change.<br>
<br>
Speaking in terms of "resilience" has allowed communities to skirt
political land mines and get down to the business of adapting to the
climate change impacts they are already experiencing. An emphasis on
resilience gives city planners, utility owners, emergency personnel,
and other local officials a way to address the effects of climate
change - sea level rise, more intense storms, extended droughts,
extreme precipitation and heat events, and more frequent wildfires -
without getting drawn into the debate over what causes climate
change. Reliance on the term resilience, as opposed to "adaptation"
or even "climate resilience," carries important consequences for the
choices we make. If we are not willing to consider climate change
projections in our resilience planning, those plans may not prove
resilient in the long run. After all, how much the seas will rise
matters when it comes to whether and how high we build any sea
walls.<br>

have we done so little to tackle climate change?</a></b><br>
By Meara Sharma April 6<br>
Meara Sharma writes about culture and the environment.<br>
A decade ago, the environmental philosopher Timothy Morton invented
a new word: hyperobject. It describes something so "massively
distributed in time and space relative to humans" that it eludes our
understanding. The best example of a hyperobject is climate change.
Its scale confounds our perception. It is everywhere—"viscous," as
Morton has it — and yet it is hard to see directly. Its implications
are so great that they verge on unthinkable.<br>
William T. Vollmann's new book, "No Immediate Danger," tussles with
the comprehension-defying nature of climate change. It is a 600-page
amalgam of scientific history, cultural criticism, mathematical
experiments, risk-benefit analyses of energy production and
consumption, and diaristic meanderings through radiation-festooned
landscapes after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011. The
effect is bewildering...<br>
The first of two volumes, jointly called "The Carbon Ideologies,"
the whole book is written as a letter to the future. "Someday," it
begins, "perhaps not long from now, the inhabitants of a hotter,
more dangerous and biologically diminished planet than the one on
which I lived may wonder what you and I were thinking, or whether we
thought at all. This book is for them." We know more today about the
effects of climate change than ever before (although, as Vollmann
and others have noted, we've really known for a half a century). We
are experiencing heightened storms, record droughts, rising seas and
temperatures, increased pollution. And yet we have done little to
reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, which are at record highs.
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is at a level
not seen since the Pliocene era — more than 3 million years ago. Why
so little action? Is it because many of us don't care about some
"ecosystem somewhere"? Because the science lacks certainty? Because
of companies' concerns about their profits? Because of data
suppression? Because it is easier not to act? These questions course
through the book...<font size="-1"><br>

Ofcom says controversial claims, including on the frequency of

BBC Radio 4 broke accuracy rules by failing to sufficiently
challenge the climate change denier Nigel Lawson's <a

claims in an interview</a>, the broadcasting watchdog has ruled.<br>
Lord Lawson appeared on a Radio 4 programme last summer denying the
concept of climate change, which prompted complaints from the Green
party and the prominent scientists Brian Cox and Jim Al-Khalili, who
said it was "irresponsible and highly misleading" to imply there was
still a debate around the science supporting it.<br>
The Today programme featured five interviews on climate change
prompted by the release of the film An Inconvenient Sequel, the
former US vice-president Al Gore's follow-up to 2006's An
Inconvenient Truth. Each interview was conducted by the presenter
Justin Webb.<br>
Lawson, a former chancellor of the exchequer in Margaret Thatcher's
government, made claims including that "all the experts say there
hasn't been" an increase in extreme weather events. He said the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change "concedes" this, and that,
according to official figures, "during this past 10 years … average
world temperature has slightly declined".<br>
Ofcom received two complaints that the interview broke the UK
broadcasting rule 5.1, which states that "news, in whatever form,
must be reported with due accuracy and presented with due
impartiality".<br>
"Neither statement was correct, or sufficiently challenged during
the interview or subsequently during the programme," said the Ofcom
ruling.<br>
The BBC said it had publicly acknowledged that "some of Lord
Lawson's statements went beyond the intended scope of the interview
and he was allowed to make inaccurate assertions which should have
been challenged".<br>
Ofcom was not impressed that a previous appearance on the Today
programme in 2014 by Lawson, who founded the Global Warming Policy
Foundation, resulted in an internal BBC investigation and ruling
that found the same failure to properly challenge his views.<br>

The Today programme rejected initial complaints from listeners,

BBC needs to accept that Nigel Lawson doesn't exist</b></a><br>
Climate change is serious: the BBC needs to stop this obsession with
'balance' and reject the scientifically-discredited argument that
Nigel Lawson exists<br>
The BBC has recently come under fire for a Radio 4 programme which
featured Nigel Lawson criticising the concept of climate change.
This has drawn the ire of many scientists, and rightly so. The
science on this matter is settled, there is no meaningful debate to
be had, and the evidence is there for all to see should they choose
to go and look for it. Basically, Nigel Lawson isn't real.<br>
It's all very well putting forward opposing views in the name of
"balance", although it's worth noting that the importance of
"balance" at the BBC seems to differ wildly depending on the subject
matter. You seldom get Flat Earth proponents giving contrasting
weather forecasts to combat the globular bias in meteorology, and it
seems the BBC is perfectly happy broadcasting debates about whether
the Welsh language deserves to exist which feature, you know, NOBODY
WHO ACTUALLY SPEAKS IT. Balance isn't a priority in these instances,
clearly. But the increasingly-unhinged and militant types who insist
that Nigel Lawson exists, they must be given airtime apparently. It
boggles the mind.<font size="-1"><br>
