Death Count Makes Hurricane Maria Deadliest Storm in Modern US
History</a></b><br>
Brian Kahn<br>
The official death count for Hurricane Maria stands at 64 in Puerto
Rico. New research shows that number is hugely flawed, and that the
real death toll could be up to 70 times higher. The revised count
would make Maria the deadliest storm in modern U.S. history.<br>

comprehensive studies to date.<br>
The researchers surveyed an on-the-ground sample of nearly 3,300
households across the island from after Maria struck on September 20
through December 31, 2017. They asked people about their experience
in the wake of the storm, including their access to electricity,
clean water, healthcare, and other services in addition to whether
there were any deaths in their household.<br>
Using that sample, they then extrapolated a death count for the
territory as a whole, and compared it to the same period in 2016.
The findings show there were an estimated 4,645 excess deaths in the
three months following Maria compared to 2016, more than the total
number of U.S. soldiers killed in the Iraq War. The researchers also
noted that the number could be 5,740 when factoring in single-person
households where the individual had died.<br>

administration refuses to consider that 97% of climate
scientists could be right</a></b><br>
Even though smart climate policies could save tens of trillions of
dollars<br>
Last week, the Washington Post obtained a White House internal memo
that debated how the Trump administration should handle federal
climate science reports.<br>
<blockquote>The memo presented three options without endorsing any
of them: conducting a "red team/blue team" exercise to "highlight
uncertainties in climate science"; more formally reviewing the
science under the Administrative Procedure Act; or deciding to
just "ignore, and not seek to characterize or question, the
science being conducted by Federal agencies and outside entities."<br>
</blockquote>
In short, the White House considered 'debating' established climate
science, casting doubt on scientists' conclusions, or just ignoring
them. Accepting and/or acting on the findings of the scientific
experts is not an option they're willing to consider.<br>
<blockquote>Katharine Hayhoe<br>
@KHayhoe<br>
So according to this memo, the administration considered 3
options--<br>
(1) framing reality as being up for debate; <br>
(2) developing their own view of reality; or <br>
(3) ignoring reality--and went with option 3.<br>
Interesting that "accepting reality" was not an option. <a

<font size="-1">- - - -<br>
</font>There's a 97% expert consensus that humans are causing global
warming, and the scientific research is clear that the consequences
of continued rapid climate change could be devastating for the
economy and for all species on Earth.<br>
The case for the Trump administration approach - ignoring and
casting doubt on the conclusions of climate science experts - is
that of a bad gambler. It's not a 100% consensus; maybe the less
than 3% of climate contrarians are onto something. Perhaps the
experts are wrong and climate change won't be so bad.<br>
If the stakes were something inconsequential like a Trump steak,
that would be fine, but it should go without saying that betting the
future of humanity and life on Earth on a less than 3% long shot is
a bad idea. The stakes could not be higher. Prudent risk management
dictates that we should be taking serious steps to mitigate the
chances of such a disastrous outcome. That's why Americans buy home
and auto and health insurance. It's why fewer than 17% of Americans
today are smokers, down from 42% in 1965.<font size="-1"><br>
- - - -<br>
</font><b>Saving the Republican Party</b><br>
Not only is global warming denial terrible policy, but it's bad for
the long-term health of the Republican Party. There's a climate
change generation gap - most young Americans realize that humans are
causing global warming, and young conservatives want their leaders
to do something about it. Climate change impacts will only become
more severe over time, and today's youth know that they'll have to
live with the consequences of our actions today. They simply can't
afford denial, and the GOP risks losing these voters forever by
willfully ignoring the problem that poses an existential threat to
young Americans.<br>
There are a few glimmers of hope in the party. Trump's new Nasa
administrator now accepts climate science. Eight House Republicans
signed a letter to leaders of the Appropriations Committee urging
them to reject any provisions in the 2019 spending bill that would
undermine efforts to combat climate change. The conservative Climate
Leadership Council proposed a free market, small government,
revenue-neutral carbon tax ready to go as soon as the GOP can elect
a leadership that's willing to make a great climate change deal.<br>
But right now the GOP is still stuck being, as Governor Bobby Jindal
(R-LA) described it five years ago, "the stupid party." Its
leadership won't even consider the possibility that 97% of climate
science experts are right. That denial is going to be very
expensive, and as Americans increasingly accept the realities of
climate change, it will also land the GOP on the endangered species
list.<font size="-1"><br>

Prepared remarks<br>
<blockquote>Summary: The world in the 21st century is characterized
by both unprecedented risks and unprecedented foresight. Climate
change, population shifts and cyber-threats are rapidly increasing
the scale and complexity of risks to international security, while
technological developments are increasing our capacity to foresee
those risks. This world of high consequence risks, which can be
better modeled and anticipated than in the past, underscores a
clear responsibility for the international community: A
"Responsibility to Prepare." This responsibility, which builds on
hard-won lessons of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) framework
for preventing and responding to mass atrocities, requires a
reform of existing governance institutions to ensure that
critical, nontraditional risks to international security, such as
climate change, are anticipated, analyzed and addressed
systematically, robustly and rapidly by intergovernmental security
institutions and the security establishments of nations that
participate in that system.<br>
</blockquote>
A Responsibility to Prepare agenda should be developed and adopted
by all nations, while adhering to the overarching principle of
"climate-proofing" security institutions at the international,
regional and national levels. That climate-proofing would include
routinizing, integrating, institutionalizing and elevating attention
to climate and security issues at these bodies, as well as
establishing rapid response mechanisms, and developing contingencies
for potential unintended consequences.<br>
Such an agenda - focused as it is on reforming security institutions
- would ensure that critical nontraditional challenges, such as
climate change, are appropriately managed as global security risks,
rather than as niche concerns. A practical fulfillment of the goals
and principles articulated in this Responsibility to Prepare
framework would increase the likelihood of more stable governance in
the face of rapid but foreseeable change.<br>
The Climate and Security Advisory Group (CSAG): <a

Responsibility to Prepare - Strengthening National and Homeland
Security in the Face of a Changing Climate"</a><br>
The CSAG, a voluntary, non-partisan group of 54 U.S.-based military,
national security, homeland security, intelligence and foreign
policy experts from a broad range of institutions, is chaired by the
Center for Climate and Security in partnership with the George
Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs. On
February 2018, the group released a new roadmap and recommendations
report calling on the U.S. government to to follow the advice of
Defense Secretary James Mattis, who argued for a
"whole-of-government response" to climate change during his
confirmation process.<br>
The report notes that given the threats of climate change identified
by the defense, national security and intelligence communities, a
rise in destructive climate-driven impacts on the U.S., and an
increased capacity to foresee these risks, the U.S. government has a
"Responsibility to Prepare" to address these challenges at home and
abroad. Specifically, the group recommends that the Administration
do so through three lines of effort: Assess, Prepare, and Support.<br>

Pyrocumulus clouds - also known as flammagenitus clouds - are most
commonly caused by wildfires. They form when heat from the ground,
whether from burning trees or scalding molten rock, causes the air
around it to warm and rise, carrying water vapor with it. As that
air reaches the cooler heights of the upper atmosphere, that water
vapor condenses around tiny particles like ash to form clouds. Those
clouds can become unstable and in turn cause thunderstorms.<br>

<b>Global warming, global trade means floods in China will likely

"Economic losses might be down-streamed along the global trade and

researcher Sven Willner.<br>
By Brooks Hays <br>
May 28 (UPI) - New research suggests climate change is likely to
cause more frequent and more destructive flooding in China,
triggering economic losses at home and abroad - including the U.S.
economy.<br>
"Climate change will increase flood risks already in the next two
decades - and this is not only a problem for millions of people but
also for economies worldwide," Anders Levermann, researcher at the
Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, said in a
news release.<br>
Levermann and his colleagues modeled flooding risk in China and its
effects on the economies of China's trade partners.<br>
"Through supply shortages, changes in demand and associated price
signals, economic losses might be down-streamed along the global
trade and supply network affecting other economies on a global scale
- we were surprised about the size of this rather worrying effect,"
said Potsdam researcher Sven Willner.<br>
The researchers' models used algorithms designed to measure global
risk assessment for natural hazards, as well as algorithms inspired
by network theory. Together, the model's components helped
scientists understand how localized economic shocks propagate in
time and space.<br>

<b>Abstract</b><br>
<blockquote>Increasing Earth's surface air temperature yields an
intensification of its hydrological cycle1. As a consequence, the
risk of river floods will increase regionally within the next two
decades due to the atmospheric warming caused by past
anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions2,3,4. The direct economic
losses5,6 caused by these floods can yield regionally
heterogeneous losses and gains by propagation within the global
trade and supply network7. Here we show that, in the absence of
large-scale structural adaptation, the total economic losses due
to fluvial floods will increase in the next 20 years globally by
17% despite partial compensation through market adjustment within
the global trade network. China will suffer the strongest direct
losses, with an increase of 82%. The United States is mostly
affected indirectly through its trade relations. By contrast to
the United States, recent intensification of the trade relations
with China leaves the European Union better prepared for the
import of production losses in the future.<br>

Warming and the Sweetness of Life: A Tar Sands Tale</a></b><br>

planetary crises.<br>
Summary<br>
<blockquote>Seeking new definitions of ecology in the tar sands of
northern Alberta and searching for the sweetness of life in the
face of planetary crises.<br>
Confounded by global warming and in search of an affirmative
politics that links ecology with social change, Matt Hern and Am
Johal set off on a series of road trips to the tar sands of
northern Alberta - perhaps the world's largest industrial site,
dedicated to the dirty work of extracting oil from Alberta's vast
reserves. Traveling from culturally liberal, self-consciously
"green" Vancouver, and aware that our well-meaning performances of
recycling and climate-justice marching are accompanied by constant
driving, flying, heating, and fossil-fuel consumption, Hern and
Johal want to talk to people whose lives and fortunes depend on or
are imperiled by extraction. They are seeking new definitions of
ecology built on a renovated politics of land. Traveling with them
is their friend Joe Sacco - infamous journalist and cartoonist,
teller of complex stories from Gaza to Paris - who contributes
illustrations and insights and a chapter-length comic about the
contradictions of life in an oil town. The epic scale of the
ecological horror is captured through an series of stunning color
photos by award-winning aerial photographer Louis Helbig.<br>
Seamlessly combining travelogue, sophisticated political analysis,
and ecological theory, speaking both to local residents and to
leading scholars, the authors propose a new understanding of
ecology that links the domination of the other-than-human world to
the domination of humans by humans. They argue that any definition
of ecology has to start with decolonization and that confronting
global warming requires a politics that speaks to a different way
of being in the world - a reconstituted understanding of the
sweetness of life.<br>

Weintrobe on Nurturing Imagination amid a 'Culture of Uncare'</a></b><br>
By Rob Hopkins, Rob Hopkins blog<br>
For peoples' minds and imaginations to flower, they need two
conditions. They need to be able to love and to care for others and
they need to be cared about. I don't think this is said enough.<br>
Sally Weintrobe is a psychoanalyst and a founder member of the
Climate Psychology Alliance. Her work is driven, in part, by a
fascination with denial around climate change, and around
neoliberalism and its culture. For Sally, you can't understand
psychological reactions to climate change without getting a handle
first on the culture neoliberalism has created, and in which we are
all, to a greater or lesser extent, implicated. I have been
intrigued by her work and her thinking for some time. She has
written about what she calls 'the new imagination', thinking that
clearly overlaps with the explorations we've been having here.<br>
<blockquote> It means a lot of things. The 'received wisdom' at the
moment is still that the way things are is the only way: that the
economy cannot be decarbonized and climate change cannot be
addressed. I had a very transformative experience in 2013 at a
conference held at the Royal Academy, called the Radical
Reductions Emissions Conference. I sat and listened for two days
to speakers from around the world by video conference all talking
about how the low carbon economy can be achieved. Energy,
shipping, transport, you name it; it can be achieved. I was
absolutely amazed.<br>
<br>
I realised that I had unconsciously picked up the attitude that it
can't be done. I was in the grip of a false idea that it can't be
done. Not only could it be done, but with existing technology.
After 2013, interestingly, we saw the price of solar start to come
down, and the idea it could be done started permeating through.
But a cultural message that it cannot be done is still very
strong. It stifles the imagination.<br>
</blockquote>
The new imagination starts with an understanding that it can be
done, and with studying why on earth do we think it can't be done?
That's where culture comes in and there's much to say about the role
of neoliberal culture; its effects on our minds.<br>
For peoples' minds and imaginations to flower, to flower, they need
two conditions. They need to be able to love and to care for others
and they need to be cared about. I don't think this is said enough.

Introduction to Climate Models - CMIP & CMIP6</a></b><br>
World Climate Research Programme<br>
Published on Jun 21, 2017<br>
As part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP)
organized under the auspices of the World Climate Research
Programme's (WCRP) Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) many
hundreds of climate researchers, working with modeling centres
around the world, will share, compare and analyze the latest
outcomes of global climate models. These model products will fuel
climate research for the next 5 to 10 years, while its careful
analysis will form the basis for future climate assessments and
negotiations.<font size="-1"><br>

Shortage In Pakistan: What Should Be Done?</b></a><a

Global warming had also brought climatic changes for the few years
in our country. This leads to less rainfall which causes the water
shortage in rivers ...<br>
As we all know that our country is going through severe water
shortage. There are two main reasons for this, one is natural due to
prolong drought which is beyond the control of man and the other due
to the gross negligence in the development and mismanagement of
water resources.<br>
Global warming had also brought climatic changes for the few years
in our country. This leads to less rainfall which causes the water
shortage in rivers, lakes, and dams etc. Excess cutting of trees is
equally responsible as global warming for less rainfall.<br>
Few years back, when the climatic conditions were normal and
rainfalls on time there were no resources to preserve water. If we
had dams and other resources at that time to preserve water, today
we could easily be able to cope up water shortage. However, it's not
too late yet, if our government derives its attention towards this
matter we can stop this matter from getting worst.<br>
The other reason behind water shortage is mismanagement of water and
its usage. People are using the water irresponsibly without being
aware of future difficulties which occurs due to lack of water.
People are doing their day to day activities with open taps like
brushing teeth, taking bath, washing clothes etc. through which
billions of gallons of water get wasted... <br>
