href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/how-jeremy-grantham-is-taking-on-climate-change-1529712002">How
Jeremy Grantham Is Taking On Climate Change</a></b><br>
Jeremy Grantham, No. 7 on our list, is widely known as the value
investor who correctly predicted the 2000 and 2008 downturns. But he
is also a force in increasing awareness of climate change.<br>
At the Morningstar conference last week, Grantham shook his audience
with a narrative that went like this: The increase in surface
temperatures is accelerating. Air carries more water vapor, so
downpours are more likely. But so are extreme weather events like
floods, droughts, wildfires. And though renewable-energy costs are
falling, fossil fuels will make up half of all energy consumption by
2050. That means climate change will continue.<br>
So prepare yourselves, he told them, for a two-degree scenario. In
fact, prepare for three degrees. (Signatories to the Paris climate
accord, from which the U.S. will withdraw in 2020, have agreed to
hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below
two degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.)<br>
<br>
Climate change will have a terrible effect on food supplies. The
United Nations forecasts that the world population, now about 7.6
billion, will reach 11.2 billion in 2100. The planet's "last best
hope," Grantham related, is that fertility rates will drop. But in
Africa, population growth is exploding-expected to nearly quadruple
by 2100.<br>
<br>
At the same time, arable land is shrinking. This growing population
simply cannot be fed. All of those rains in the Midwest mean soil is
eroding. In Iowa, the soil depth has halved since intensive
cultivation began in 1850. As a result, crop yields are expected to
fall sharply. Temperature swings and droughts will ruin harvests.<br>
<br>
"I ended my harangue by saying, 'I want you to go back to your
investment firms, cash in your career chips, and get your bosses to
go greener and lean on their portfolio companies to be greener-then
you'll be able to look your grandchildren in the eye,' " Grantham
recalled last week.<br>
"The great weakness of U.S. capitalism, particularly at the
corporate level, is the fixation on the short term," he continued.
Capitalism "does a million things much better than a command
economy, except for sustainability. Corporations simply aren't paid
to give up today's profits in favor of the longer-term profits. And
sustainability gets right to the heart of long-term thinking."<br>

leading U.S. climate agency may lose its climate focus</a></b><br>
By JOHN SCHWARTZThe New York Times<br>
Sun., June 24, 2018<br>
The Trump administration appears to be planning to shift the mission
of one of the most important federal science agencies that works on
climate change - away from climate change.<br>
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is
part of the Department of Commerce, operates a constellation of
earth-observing satellites. Because of its work on climate science
data collection and analysis, it has become one of the most
important U.S. agencies for making sense of the warming planet. But
that focus may shift, according to a slide presentation at a
Department of Commerce meeting by Tim Gallaudet, the acting head of
the agency.<br>
In the presentation, which included descriptions of the past and
present missions for the agency, the past mission listed three
items, starting with "to understand and predict changes in climate,
weather, oceans and coasts." In contrast, for the present mission,
the word "climate" was gone, and the first line was replaced with
"to observe, understand and predict atmospheric and ocean
conditions."<br>
The presentation also included a new emphasis: "To protect lives and
property, empower the economy, and support homeland and national
security."<br>
NOAA's sprawling mission includes the National Weather Service and
management of the nation's fisheries. Its use of satellites and
scientific research to understand climate change has been an
enormous part of its work in forecasting the cycles of phenomena
such as El Nino and tracking hurricanes, as well as forecasting the
coastal effects of rising seas.<br>
While the past mission for the agency was focused on resiliency,
including "healthy ecosystems, communities and economies that are
resilient in the face of change," the present mission, according the
presentation, replaced that with a focus on "a safe, secure and
growing economy empowered through accurate, reliable and timely
environmental information."...<br>
- - - - - - -<br>
The presentation by Gallaudet, an oceanographer and retired Navy
rear admiral, was part of a Department of Commerce "Vision Setting
Summit." While it is common for agencies to shift priorities under a
new administration, sweeping changes to the core mission of an
agency are unusual.<br>
It is unclear whether a large shift in the federal science agency's
direction could be accomplished without extensive action by
Congress. The agency's current structure and mission are defined by
127 congressional mandates, and Congress passes the agency's budget.
Changing the agency's focus would require an extensive rule-making
process - a process that has proved troublesome to the Trump
administration.<br>
Andrew A. Rosenberg, a former NOAA scientist and senior executive
who now serves as director of the Center for Science and Democracy
at the Union of Concerned Scientists and who has seen the
presentation material, issued a statement responding to the NOAA
presentation that called the move "a shocking change in the mission
of one of the nation's premier scientific agencies." The decision,
he said, is "misguided and harmful to our country."<br>
"Understanding the changing climate is becoming more critical by the
day, as the effects of global warming mount," he added.<br>
Climate research already protects the economy, Rosenberg said. "NOAA
is continuously working to improve forecasts of extreme events,
which are intensifying in a warming world. As we know from last
year's wildfires and hurricanes, these kind of forecasts are
critical for protecting American lives and infrastructure."<br>
When asked for comment, Gallaudet said in a statement that the
presentation was "<b>a simplified draft for discussion.</b>"<br>
- - - - -<br>
Trenbeth said that trying to eliminate climate from NOAA's mission
was in line with previous congressional attacks on the agency.
However, he said, there's no getting away from the centrality of
understanding climate change to the agency's mission. "The fact is
that improving weather and seasonal forecasts is now a climate
problem: it inherently involves interactions among the atmosphere
and ocean and land."<br>
"The omission of anything related to climate, which includes El
Nino, is extremely negligent," he said.<br>

REBECCA LEBER<br>
Since Trump took office, the administration has been relentlessly
undermining environmental enforcement against polluters, and the
science that underpins that work. Trump officials have
systematically tampered with climate science at the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, and the Department of
the Interior. References to climate change have been scrubbed from
federal websites; grants have been scrutinized for any mention of
the word "climate;" scientists were sidelined from public outreach
or barred from advisory committees altogether. Trump's
often-repeated promise to "cancel all wasteful climate change
spending," appeared to be getting closer to being fulfilled.... <br>
<blockquote>[Because private weather forecasting companies get their
data from NOAA]<br>
</blockquote>
NOAA simply might be lucky that Trump's choice to lead the
agency-Barry Myers, the CEO of the private weather company
Accuweather- has stalled in the Senate confirmation process. Myers
has advocated for privatizing forecasting services that NOAA
provides, though he backtracked during his confirmation hearing last
year, where he also said he backed climate science. But Myer's
nomination, which passed out of committee, has still not been
brought for a full Senate vote.<br>

Mission Statement Change Would Threaten Climate, Conservation
Work</a></b><br>
Statement by Andrew Rosenberg, Union of Concerned Scientists<br>
WASHINGTON (June 24, 2018)-At a Department of Commerce summit last
week, the acting head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), Rear Admiral Timothy Gallaudet, proposed a
new mission statement for the agency-one that would undermine the
agency's vital work on behalf of the American people, according to
the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). <br>
The mission of NOAA has been:<br>
<blockquote>To understand and predict changes in climate, weather,
oceans and coasts;<br>
To share that knowledge and information with others; and<br>
To conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and
resources.<br>
</blockquote>
In his presentation, Rear Admiral Gallaudet suggested the mission
statement would change to:<br>
<blockquote>To observe, understand and predict atmospheric and ocean
conditions; <br>
To share that knowledge and information with others; and <br>
To protect lives and property, empower the economy, and support
homeland and national security.<br>
</blockquote>
Below is a statement from Andrew Rosenberg, Director of the Center
for Science and Democracy at UCS.<br>
"This is a shocking change in the mission of one of the nation's
premier scientific agencies. <br>
"Axing its focus on climate change and resource conservation is
foolhardy. <br>
"Understanding the changing climate is becoming more critical by the
day, as the effects of global warming mount, and it's essential to
protecting our economy and security, as the work of NOAA has shown
time and again.<br>
"NOAA is continuously working to improve forecasts of extreme
events, which are intensifying in a warming world. As we know from
last year's wildfires and hurricanes, these kind of forecasts are
critical for protecting American lives and infrastructure.<br>
"Removing 'conservation' from its mission statement is equally
alarming. We have made outstanding progress in ocean conservation,
from fisheries to whales and other endangered species over the past
few decades. America's ocean's are a national treasure enjoyed by
all, and coastal communities depend on the conservation of fisheries
for their livelihood. But this doesn't seem to matter to the
administration. NOAA's revised mission seems to be all about
deregulation, which could have a big impact on fish stocks. <br>
"This is another unconscionable action taken by the administration
under the guise of national security. <br>
"As a former NOAA scientist and senior executive, I fundamentally
believe this is a step backward for a critical national program. It
is misguided and harmful to our country. I hope the American people
and their elected representatives say a resounding no – we care
about scientific understanding and the conservation of our ocean
resources."<br>

How Correlated Weather Fluctuations Take Down Power Grids</a></b><br>
June 21, 2018<br>
Line failures can emerge and propagate in power grids because of
varying power injections such as those from wind and solar plants.<br>
Intermittent power generation from renewable sources such as wind
and solar may test the reliability of a power grid in ways that
aren't fully understood. Now, Tommaso Nesti of the National Research
Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, Netherlands, and
colleagues have drawn on concepts from statistical physics to
predict how such power grids might respond to randomly fluctuating
power injections.<br>
The researchers' model of power grids includes information about
power line capacity, network topology, and historical data on power
loads and generation. They predicted potential failures in the
network using large deviations theory, a mathematical framework for
analyzing rare events and the way they occur. This analysis created
a ranking of which lines are most likely to fail for a given set of
grid operating parameters and weather conditions.<br>
To validate their theoretical findings, the team used real data from
a power transmission network in Germany. The researchers first
estimated the correlations of power injections resulting from
weather fluctuations. They then used these correlations to identify
the power production pattern that most likely leads to the failure
of any given line. One key finding is that failures don't
necessarily result from large fluctuations in nearby power
injections but rather from "summing up" many smaller unusual
fluctuations spread across the network. They also found that
failures can propagate in nonobvious ways. An initial line failure
can cause stress and possibly the failure of other lines, even those
far from the original point of failure, depending on the layout of
the network and weather-induced correlations.<br>

Agriculture in Arid and Semi-Arid Areas: Fostering the Use of
Rainwater for Food Security, Poverty Alleviation, Landscape
Restoration and Climate Resilience</a></b><br>
Edited by Walter Leal Filho and Josep de Trincheria<br>
Abstract: This book introduces state-of-the-art approaches, methods
and research, focusing on smart management of rainwater. In
addition, it provides an overview of projects from across the world,
illustrating how rainwater-smart management has been implemented in
drylands. Focusing on the scientific perspective it demonstrates how
rural dryland agriculture can be improved. It also documents the
wealth of rainwater-smart know-how available today, and replicates
and transfers results to other countries and regions, to encourage
cross-sector interactions among various stakeholders, such as
practitioners from governmental and public organisations, policy-
and decision-makers, and teaching staff from academic scientific
institutions. The contributors showcase vital lessons learned from
research, field projects and best-practice examples. They address
the integrated use of rainwater harvesting management with landscape
restoration practices and water-, and climate-smart agriculture for
food security and poverty alleviation in arid and semi-arid areas.
Original research, combined with the contributors' synthetic
approach, lays a foundation for new concepts and ideas. Through case
studies and research reports, the book discusses all the relevant
issues necessary for the comprehensive analysis and successful
implementation of the technologies in rainwater management.
Highlighting the working principles and technical recommendations
with regard to cost-efficient rainwater-smart solutions, it is of
interest to practitioners. It is also a valuable resource for
academic specialists, professionals and students, since many
development agencies are funding rainwater harvesting for irrigation
purposes.<br>

Across SA [South Africa] heat waves will scorch the interior,
coastal cities will battle to push back the encroaching sea and
people will fondly remember Eskom's load shedding. It is 2050 and
the planet is ravaged by climate change.<br>
Billions feel the effects of this change every day and cities across
the globe grapple with flooding, famine, temperature extremes and
inequality.<br>
A new report, The Future we Don't Want - How Climate Change could
Impact the World's Greatest Cities, predicts that by the middle of
this century, millions of people will be crammed into the growing
number of megacities across the globe. The report was compiled by
C40 Cities, the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy,
the Urban Climate Change Research Network, and Acclimatise.<br>
They predict that Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Durban, George, Paarl
and Uitenhage will be battling to overcome coastal flooding. About
800-million people living in 570 cities will be vulnerable to rising
sea levels, which will also cause water shortages, with Cape Town,
Paarl and George most at risk in SA. A further 2.5-billion people's
food supply will be threatened and 470-million people's power supply
will be affected by rising seas.<br>
"For decades, scientists have been warning of risks climate change
will pose from increasing global temperatures, rising sea levels,
growing inequality and water, and food and energy shortages," says
