summers during the Younger Dryas cold reversal</a></b><br>
<blockquote>Abstract<br>
The Younger Dryas (YD) cold reversal interrupts the warming
climate of the deglaciation with global climatic impacts. The
sudden cooling is typically linked to an abrupt slowdown of the
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in response to
meltwater discharges from ice sheets. However, inconsistencies
regarding the YD-response of European summer temperatures have
cast doubt whether the concept provides a sufficient explanation.
Here we present results from a high-resolution global climate
simulation together with a new July temperature compilation based
on plant indicator species and show that European summers remain
warm during the YD. Our climate simulation provides robust
physical evidence that atmospheric blocking of cold westerly winds
over Fennoscandia is a key mechanism counteracting the cooling
impact of an AMOC-slowdown during summer. Despite the persistence
of short warm summers, the YD is dominated by a shift to a
continental climate with extreme winter to spring cooling and
short growing seasons.<br>

Epidemic of Climate Change</a></b><br>
Mary Beth Pfeiffer<br>
"Superbly written and researched." -Booklist<br>
"Builds a strong case." -Kirkus<br>
Lyme disease is spreading rapidly around the globe as ticks move
into places they could not survive before. The first epidemic to
emerge in the era of climate change, the disease infects half a
million people in the US and Europe each year, and untold multitudes
in Canada, China, Russia, and Australia.<br>
Mary Beth Pfeiffer shows how we have contributed to this growing
menace, and how modern medicine has underestimated its danger. She
tells the heart-rending stories of families destroyed by a single
tick bite, of children disabled, and of one woman’s tragic choice
after an exhaustive search for a cure.<br>
Pfeiffer also warns of the emergence of other tick-borne illnesses
that make Lyme more difficult to treat and pose their own grave
risks. Lyme is an impeccably researched account of an enigmatic
disease, making a powerful case for action to fight ticks, heal
patients, and recognize humanity’s role in a modern scourge.<br>

Climate change is a complex, long-term public health challenge.
Older people are especially susceptible to certain climate change
impacts, such as heat waves.<br>
We suggest that older people may be a resource for addressing
climate change because of their concern for legacy-for leaving
behind values, attitudes, and an intact world to their children and
grandchildren. We review the theoretical basis for "legacy thinking"
among older people. We offer suggestions for research on this
phenomenon, and for action to strengthen the sense of legacy.<br>
At a time when older populations are growing, understanding and
promoting legacy thinking may offer an important strategy for
addressing climate change.<br>

change could make thousands of tropical islands 'uninhabitable'
in coming decades, new research says.</a></b><br>
By Chris Mooney and Brady Dennis <br>
More than a thousand low-lying tropical islands risk becoming
"uninhabitable" by the middle of the century - or possibly sooner -
because of rising sea levels, upending the populations of some
island nations and endangering key U.S. military assets, according
to new research published Wednesday.<br>
The threats to the islands are twofold. In the long term, the rising
seas threaten to inundate the islands entirely. More immediately, as
seas rise, the islands will more frequently deal with large waves
that crash farther onto the shore, contaminating their drinkable
water supplies with ocean saltwater, according to the research...<br>
- - - <br>
"The coral reefs these days have suffered not only of sea-level rise
but mostly in terms of acidification of the ocean and also increase
of temperature," said Andre Droxler, a geoscientist at Rice
University who has studied how corals succumbed to fast-rising seas
at the end of the last ice age. "So climate change will increase the
rate of sea-level rise, but also it will decrease the possibility
for these corals to keep up."<br>
The current study suggests that if reefs falter - as they are doing
around the world - then the major wave risk to coral atoll islands
could come still earlier.<br>
Droxler said the study reminded him of Maldives, where he has worked
and which faces a situation similar to that of the Marshall Islands.
"The maximum elevation is 2.4 meters, and there are more than
140,000 people living in two square miles," he said of the capital
island of Male.<br>
"It is kind of the ultimate example of the destiny of these tropical
islands, which are so low in elevation," Droxler said.<br>
And each passing year, as seas continue to rise and the nations and
the world wrestle with how to cut carbon dioxide emissions,
thousands of islands grow closer to a reckoning.<br>
"The longer we talk about this," Conger said, "the more the distant
future becomes the near future."<br>

atolls will be uninhabitable by the mid-21st century because of
sea-level rise exacerbating wave-driven flooding</a></b><br>
Abstract<br>
Sea levels are rising, with the highest rates in the tropics, where
thousands of low-lying coral atoll islands are located. Most studies
on the resilience of these islands to sea-level rise have projected
that they will experience minimal inundation impacts until at least
the end of the 21st century. However, these have not taken into
account the additional hazard of wave-driven overwash or its impact
on freshwater availability. We project the impact of sea-level rise
and wave-driven flooding on atoll infrastructure and freshwater
availability under a variety of climate change scenarios. We show
that, on the basis of current greenhouse gas emission rates, the
nonlinear interactions between sea-level rise and wave dynamics over
reefs will lead to the annual wave-driven overwash of most atoll
islands by the mid-21st century. This annual flooding will result in
the islands becoming uninhabitable because of frequent damage to
infrastructure and the inability of their freshwater aquifers to
recover between overwash events. This study provides critical
information for understanding the timing and magnitude of climate
change impacts on atoll islands that will result in significant,
unavoidable geopolitical issues if it becomes necessary to abandon
and relocate low-lying island states.<br>

Book Review<br>
<b><a
href="https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/wAFQIKWrKaKhrWcTInaJ/full">Holding
the Un-grievable: A Psychoanalytic Approach to the Environmental
Crisis. Review of Climate Crisis, </a></b>Psychoanalysis, and
Radical Ethics, by Donna M. Orange. New York, NY: Routledge, 2017.
148 pp.<br>
Elizabeth Allured , Psy.D.<br>
Orange steps out of the typical territory of psychoanalysis, and
invites us to deeply examine our unconscious and conscious beliefs
about our "rights" to own and use, however we see fit, the landscape
and resources of the earth. Orange ties the current environmental
crisis to roots in colonialism and chattel slavery. Most
contemporary environmentalists do not focus on causal effects from
the 16th through the 19th centuries, and instead place blame
primarily on the steep rise in fossil fuel consumption from the
early 20th century onwards, and on our addiction to lifestyles based
on this. <br>
- - - - -<br>
As analysts, we have focused narrowly on the human, rather than on
the larger environmental context. This narrowing of the analytic
field may have been necessary to discover processes such as
transference, countertransference, projection, enactment, and the
many complexities of human intersubjectivity. But as Searles
implored in 1972, and as Orange reminds us in her groundbreaking and
scholarly text, it is time for us to turn our focus to the nonhuman
environment if we are to save ourselves from suicide. We experience
both great longings for, and great fears of, the nonhuman
environment (Allured, 2012 Allured, E. (2012), which we aggress
upon, at times mercilessly. Using the analytic lens, widened to
include a focus on our environmental ground-of-being, we are
uniquely positioned to help our patients and ourselves know and come
to terms with loving and destructive feelings concerning the larger
ecosystem, which sustains us all, but which can no longer survive
our current assaults.<br>

and other social scientists have contributed to a crucial body
of work on how people are coping and psychologically adapting to
climate change.</a></b><br>
Psychological adaptation includes: how people perceive and
understand the problems, how they react emotionally, how they decide
what to do, and how they behave in response to the problems.<br>
Key points<br>
<blockquote>Research into climate change coping strategies regard
climate change as an environmental stressor. Unlike other
stressors which are often personal, (like illness, or an accident,
or unemployment), climate change is more universally experienced,
chronic, in many ways intangible, but still quite an extreme
stressor. <br>
<br>
Alongside physical and structural adjustment to environmental
changes, adaptation also includes a range of coping actions that
individuals and communities may take in response to environmental
threats, as well as psychological processes that both precede and
follow behavioural responses. <br>
<br>
Climate change coping strategies include things like taking
environmentally responsible actions (this is a potent way to
manage and reduce the anxiety); adopting a problem-solving
attitude; cognitive re-structuring or reframing; social
support-seeking; becoming more attentive to the issue, expressive
coping. <br>
<br>
There are also maladaptive coping strategies that people can
engage in, like avoidance/denial, diversionary tactics,
unrealistic optimism, wishful thinking, resignation.<br>
