Video Captures Moment Towering Iceberg Splits from Greenland
Glacier</a></b><br>
By Mindy Weisberger, Senior Writer | July 9, 2018<br>
The event, which began at 11:30 p.m. local time on June 22, unfolded
over 30 minutes, but the footage is sped up so the calving happens
in just 90 seconds, according to a statement released by the
researchers. The video shows a wide, flattened iceberg parting from
the glacier, and so-called pinnacle bergs - tall, thin icebergs -
detach from the larger mass of floating ice and invert in the water,
the researchers reported.<br>
While it's hard to get a sense of scale from the camera's wide-angle
view of the separating iceberg, the berg is so big that it could
partially cover the island of Manhattan, extending from the lower
tip of New York City into Midtown, according to the statement. <br>
Denise Holland, who shot the footage of the iceberg's birth, said
that the researchers had set up camp on the fjord and were preparing
to turn in for the night when they heard "an extended roar" that
went on for longer than 5 minutes. The sound hinted that something
momentous was underway - something that she had witnessed only
twice before in the past decade of working on Greenland's glaciers,
she told Live Science.<br>
"We could see puffs of ice as it fractured from one side to the
other," she said. "Sometimes you get lucky - you have to be at the
right place at the right time."<br>
What was especially fortuitous about this recording was that it
showed the ocean noticeably rising as the ice disintegrated; it also
captured important evidence of a glacier's ice breakup patterns "in
every conceivable way, in one event," David Holland said.<br>
"We saw tabular, flat icebergs like pancakes. We saw vertical
pinnacles, tall and skinny ones, some falling head forward. We saw
them crash into tabular bergs and break up. In 20 minutes, we saw
grounded ice go into the ocean in a variety of calving styles - we
were kind of in awe at how interesting it was, and also in awe of
the scientific complexity," he said.<br>
And therein lies the challenge of building computer models that can
accurately predict the behavior of massive ice sheets, and the giant
icebergs they produce. As this video demonstrated, glaciers can
fracture in complicated ways - and scientists' current understanding
of how that happens is barely the tip of the iceberg, which hampers
attempts to model the impact of glacier breakup on rising seas,
David Holland told Live Science.<br>
"It's not the kind of thing you can do in your lab at home. You need
real glaciers breaking up, and you need real observations," he said.
"You need to observe it to understand it."<br>

blaze crosses Oregon border amid fierce start to fire season</a></b><br>
By Erin Stone<br>
The deadly Klamathon Fire continued to devour acreage Sunday,
crossing the Oregon-California border as it tore through 30,500
acres and threatened hundreds of homes, fire officials said.<br>
The fire was 25 percent contained but continued to spread into the
Klamath National Forest, Horseshoe Ranch Wildlife Area and private
timber lands. Erratic winds and dry vegetation are driving the
fire's growth, officials said. Fire crews completed containment
lines on the southern portion of the fire. Steep, thickly wooded
terrain proved a challenge for crews working around the clock on the
western and southeastern portions of the blaze, officials said.<br>
"The conditions are a little less smoky and the sun is coming in a
little more, but the downside to that is that the fire behavior is
more active," said Cheryl Buliavac, a spokeswoman for the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. "Having the visibility,
we're able to get aircraft in there."...<br>

see my garden as a barometer of climate change</a></b><br>
Catriona Sandilands<br>
I worry about my beautiful, compromised plants, exposed to
unseasonable ice storms and heatwaves<br>
The garden has suffered this year, especially the lower-growing
plants; even some of the hardy, well-established lavenders packed it
in. The problem is not that it was too cold (although there was a
top-10 longest and coldest polar air event in December/January), or
that it was too warm in those double-digit February days, or that
there was the ice storm in April, or that it was 31C in May, or even
that there are now again record-breaking temperatures. The problem
is that all of these things happened in a remarkably short time
span, and that longer-term climate changes have already begun to
destabilise plant communities, making them more vulnerable to
extreme weather events.<br>
<b> What can I do, concretely, to mitigate change, to adapt to it,
and even to resist it?</b><br>
From my perspective as caretaker of this little plant community, the
problem is also that many of the seasonal understandings that have
been basic to gardening in Toronto can no longer be assumed.
Lavender might not survive the winter without wrapping. Tomatoes
might need to be shaded in order to survive what is forecast to be
an especially hot summer. Plants that require specialist pollinators
may find their calls unanswered because the short-lived insects on
which they rely may now have lives out of sync with the blooms...<br>
There is a multitude of opinions about gardening in these climate
changing times. Many urban gardeners talk about how to protect their
plants from climate change: shielding them from extreme
temperatures, conserving and/or diverting water, planting a greater
range of resilient species in more cohabitative arrangements, and
being extra-aware of the presence of both predatory and pollinator
insects.<br>
- - - -<br>
To me, more than anything, gardening in these times means two
things. First, looking after my little backyard demands that I pay
close attention to the present and future: what are the plants
telling me about the ways the climate is changing? What do they need
that I can give them? What do these needs tell me about the larger
scale of the changes in which we are immersed? What can I do,
concretely, to mitigate change, to adapt to it, and even to resist
it?<br>
- - - - -<br>
Second, and more foundationally, this garden invites me to reflect
on the past and present: on gardening itself, and how the particular
plants I am tending are part of larger processes of colonial, global
transformation in which histories of plant movements are bound up
with those of capitalist, fossil-fueled developments. We can,
perhaps, more easily think about cotton, wheat, sugar cane, and corn
at this level: plants that were central to slavery, to the rise of
industrial agriculture, to what some scholars call "ecological
imperialism." But gardens are also part of this picture...<br>
- - - -<br>
Gardens are microcosms of the complicated relationships that are the
difficult world in which we are living, whether we like it or not,
even as we may consciously refract those relations into new
possibilities. In the garden, this practice involves taking careful
stock: of the plants that are here, of the travels that have brought
them here, and of the possibilities that "here" might yet bring
about.<br>

</a>"It's coming at us faster than we thought."<br>
By Alexander C. Kaufman<br>
Charles Geisler, a sociologist at Cornell University, spent much of
his career researching where poor people go when rich corporations
swoop in and buy the land out from under their feet. <br>
But his focus began to shift in 2005, after observing how storm
surges tainted farmland in Bangladesh with salt water. Later that
year, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, submerging communities
once believed to be safe behind levees and dikes. As floodwaters
inundated Vietnam's Mekong Delta last year, Geisler's new worldview
came into sharp relief.<br>
The rising sea, he surmised, is the one displacement force more
powerful than greed. <br>
Geisler began collating climate and demographic research, and came
to a dire conclusion: By the year 2100, rising sea levels could
force up to 2 billion people inland, creating a refugee crisis among
one-fifth of the world's population.<br>
Worse yet, there won't be many places for those migrants to go.<br>
His findings appear in the July issue of the journal Land Use
Policy. <br>
"We have a pending crisis," Geisler, a professor emeritus of
development sociology at Cornell, told HuffPost. "This relocation
and huge mass migration from the coastal zone, it's going to take
place in this century and the next century."<br>
To get the 2 billion figure, Geisler extrapolated from a 2015 study
published in the journal PLOS One. That research predicted that by
2060, there would be some 1.4 billion people living in low-lying
coastal regions at risk from sea level rise. Drawing from nearly a
dozen other studies, Geisler and his co-author, the University of
Kentucky climate researcher Ben Currens, modeled what he called a
"rather extreme scenario." <br>
<blockquote> <b>"The paper is the worst-case scenario," Geisler
said. "We looked for estimates in these various barriers to
entry that were coming from the most draconian changes that
could hit us from climate change and sea level rise." </b><br>
</blockquote>
Geisler outlined three obstacles, or "barriers to entry," to
relocating people driven inland from their homes by rising seas. The
first problem is that climate change isn't just affecting coastal
communities. Droughts and desertification could make areas safe from
sea level rise uninhabitable at worst, and incapable of sustaining a
large influx of migrants at best, Geisler said. The second issue is
closely linked: If climate refugees flock to cities, increasing the
urban sprawl into land once used to farm food, those metropoles
could lose the ability to feed their inflated populations.<br>
<br>
The third issue involves physical and legal barriers, meaning
regions and municipalities might erect walls and post guards to
prevent climate migrants from entering and settling down. Geisler
dubbed this phenomenon the "no-trespass zone." <br>
<br>
Geisler warned that too much of the conversation around climate
adaptation is focused on building sea walls, learning to live with
regular flooding, and relocating communities inland, as has happened
in Alaska. These limited ideas of "adaptation" could leave humanity
woefully unprepared for a mass migration that Geisler said could
dwarf the current refugee crisis in Europe, driven by war, poverty
and drought-linked famine in regions south and east of the
continent. At least 65.6 million people have fled their homes, and
the United Nations estimates that 20 people are forcibly displaced
every minute by war and persecution alone. Adding unfettered climate
change to that mix threatens to yield human catastrophe on a scale
that is difficult to describe without sounding bombastic.<br>
The U.S. is particularly at risk. Millions of mainland Americans
could be forced to flee inland, sending the populations of at least
nine coastal states downward, according a University of Georgia
study released in April. Texas alone could have to take in as many
as 2.5 million internal migrants.<br>
"My hope is that this paper will reorient planners and policymakers
who use the term 'adaptation' in a very narrow way," Geisler said.
"It's used either to mean fortifying coastal structures to keep the
sea off the land, or it's used to refer to moving a population from
a coastal zone in some organized way." <br>
There are better ways to prepare, he said. He pointed to four
counties in South Florida that began sharing hydrological data and
research on the rate of sea level rise, then drafted a joint
evacuation plan. Dealing with the possible results of runaway
climate change requires "transboundary" planning, he said.<br>
"Climate change is going to be with us for a long time, and the
coastal zone population is going to be overwhelming as it moves
inland," Geisler said. "How are we going to employ these people?
Where are we going to house them? What energy sources are they going
to need?"<br>
"Bottom line: Far more people are going to be living on far less
land, and land that is not as fertile and habitable and sustainable
as the low-elevation coastal zone," he added. "And it's coming at us
faster than we thought." <br>

[Australia sqawks]<br>
<b><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.climatecodered.org/2018/07/the-straight-forward-climate-question.html">The
straight-forward climate question Josh Frydenberg will not
answer</a></b><br>
by David Spratt <br>
Is climate change an existential risk to Australian society and the
world community? It's not a difficult question, but one that climate
minister Frydenberg has failed to answer.<br>
The response should not be too challenging. An Australian Senate
report released on 17 May this year, after an inquiry into the
implications of climate change for Australia's national security,
found that climate change is "a current and existential national
security risk". It says an existential risk is "one that threatens
the premature extinction of Earth-originating intelligent life or
the permanent and drastic destruction of its potential for desirable
future development".<br>
The report was not opposed by the government Senators on the inquiry
committee. Mark Crosweller, the Director General of Emergency
Management Australia, Sherri Goodman, an expert witness from the
USA, and the former senior Shell executive and emissions trading
advisor to the Howard government, Ian Dunlop, put the issue of
existential climate security risks on the inquiry's agenda.<br>
On current trends, following the Paris Agreement, the world's
peoples may face catastrophic warming within a generation or two,
with large parts of the planet uninhabitable and major food growing
regions ruined by drought or rising seas. The Paris commitments set
Earth on a path of more than 3C of warming, and up to 5C when
climate-cycle feedbacks are included. Yet, a decade ago, leading
security analysts in the United States warned that 3C of warming and
just a half-metre sea-level rise could lead to "outright chaos" as
relations between nations broke down. Even the World Bank says
"there is no certainty that adaptation to a 4C world is possible".<br>
Following up on the Senate report, Adam Bandt MP asked the Minister
for the Environment and Energy, Josh Frydenberg, the following
question in writing on 21 May:<br>
Has (a) he, (b) his ministerial office, or (c) his department, read
the report: What Lies Beneath: the Scientific Understatement of
Climate Risk (David Spratt and Ian Dunlop, Breakthrough, September
2017).<br>
Has (a) he, (b) his ministerial office, or (c) his department, made
any assessment of the propositions made in the report, particularly
in respect of existential risk.<br>
Has his department sought advice or assessment from external
organisations such as the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology, or
university climate specialists, on the report; if so, what was the
nature of this advice, and can he provide it.<br>
Has his department considered the implications for policy-making of
climate change being an existential risk to human civilisation.<br>
Can he indicate whether the Cabinet has considered the Government's
duty of care and fiduciary responsibility towards Australian
citizens in light of the more severe risks raised in the report.<br>
Most questions in writing to ministers receive responses within a
few days, and there is a protocol that they should be answered
within 60 days. So with 48 days having elapsed, the clock is
ticking.<br>
It is a matter of fact that both the minister and his department
received the report What Lies Beneath, and it is very likely that
his department sought advice on it.<br>
The first duty of a government is to protect the people. A
government derives its legitimacy and hence its authority from the
people, and so has a fiduciary duty to act in accordance with the
interests of all the people with integrity, fairness and
accountability. In the climate arena, this duty has been recognised
in several quarters, including by Australian Prudential Regulatory
Authority Executive Director Geoff Summerhayes.<br>
So what's the problem? Perhaps the minister does not want say "no",
climate change is not an existential risk, because the evidence is
to the contrary, and he does not want to say "yes", because that
would imply a duty of care that his government has chosen not to
exercise?<br>

baby can't sleep from the heat, why aren't we talking about
climate change?</a></b><br>
Published on 09/07/2018<br>
By Jamie Clarke<br>
Baby it's getting hot in here.<br>
Irritated and covered in sweat, yet again my two year old daughter
is struggling to sleep in her cot. I've now lost count of the number
of nights that the baby thermometer has scowled at me for putting
her to bed in officially dangerous temperatures.<br>
The ongoing heatwave is the main topic of everyday conversation
these days, with record-breaking temperatures and wildfires covering
newspapers' front pages and the NHS issuing health warnings for
vulnerable groups.<br>
Yet there has been a deafening silence about the likely key driver -
climate change.<br>
I am staggered at how difficult it is for us as a society to talk
about the links between climate change and extreme weather events
like heatwaves. Most people have no problem talking about the links
between lung cancer and smoking, even if they aren't lung cancer
specialists. But whenever I've brought up the subject of climate
change in conversations about the heatwave with people around me,
they've quickly changed the subject...<br>
It simply will not be possible to achieve broad and sustained
bottom-up demands for action on climate change without taking every
possible opportunity to help people connect the dots. Only when
people understand the risks posed can they be expected to respond
and be part of the changes needed to limit those risks.<br>
Guardian columnist Zoe Williams recently wrote about the heatwave
this indicative comment: "Some build-up of brain bacteria over time
compels you to mention climate change whenever there is any weather
anywhere, but you remember from the 90s that everybody hates that
person, so it's better to just head off weather chat mildly,
absentmindedly - 'hot? I suppose it is'".<br>
A quick analysis of search term trends in the UK over the past few
weeks demonstrates that while there is a significant spike in
searches for 'heatwaves,' there has been no accompanying increase in

It simply will not be possible to achieve broad and sustained
bottom-up demands for action on climate change without taking every
possible opportunity to help people connect the dots. Only when
people understand the risks posed can they be expected to respond
and be part of the changes needed to limit those risks.<br>
Guardian columnist Zoe Williams recently wrote about the heatwave
this indicative comment: "Some build-up of brain bacteria over time
compels you to mention climate change whenever there is any weather
anywhere, but you remember from the 90s that everybody hates that
person, so it's better to just head off weather chat mildly,
absentmindedly - 'hot? I suppose it is'".<br>
