Movement Announces First Round of Endorsed Candidates</a></b><br>
The Sunrise Slate 2018 will fight for our health, home, and future.<br>
Around the country, the group's local teams are knocking doors,
organizing text and phone-banks, and recruiting volunteers in
support of their endorsed candidates. They're also asking
politicians to reject the influence of fossil fuel executives by
signing the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://nofossilfuelmoney.org/">No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge</a>
and putting pressure on and exposing those who won't. Already over
900 candidates have signed on to the pledge, including all members
of the Sunrise Slate.<br>
<blockquote>"Sunrise aims to make 2018 the year that no politician
can seriously claim to care about our generation's future and
still take campaign bribes from the executives, lobbyists, and
front-groups who have done everything in their power to block
action to stop climate change. A new generation of candidates is
rising up to challenge the status quo. If elected, these
candidates will be unafraid to stand up to fossil fuel CEOs and do
what it takes to make climate change an urgent political priority
in this country," said Evan Weber, Sunrise's National Political
Director.<br>

Wildfires Do to Our Minds</a></b><br>
A Northern California community offers mental health first-aid to
survivors of devastating fires.<br>
It's late spring, and I'm hiking Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in
Sonoma County with therapist, ecopsychologist, and California
naturalist Mary Good...<br>
- - - -<br>
"It was an absolute trauma for everybody involved. The fire is over,
but the grief may last a long time," Good says. "We live in a time
where these natural disasters are going to be happening more and
more. How do you develop resilience? What do you do to feel like you
can be safe in the world again?"...<br>
- - - -<br>
"What we know is that three months to a year after a disaster is
when the most need happens; that's why we want to keep this going,"
Pope says. "I think it's going to be quite a while until this
community finds its way out of this initial stage of shock."...<br>
- - - -<br>
Throughout Sonoma County, other support networks have surfaced,
including free trauma-informed yoga classes, support groups through
hospice organizations, brown-bag lunch discussions, presentations on
how to recognize and support loved ones with post-traumatic stress
disorder, and holistic health care providers offering free services.
But as the land regenerates and homes are rebuilt, the traumatic
memories and uncertainty of being unhoused remain painful realities
for many...<br>
- - - -<br>
Back at Sugarloaf Ridge, Good says that community training and
planning before disaster strikes is a must as communities look
toward adapting to the new normal of climate catastrophes. She says
that connecting with nature, even after a disaster of this scale, is
critical, recounting stories of fire survivors regaining hope when
the scorched land showed signs of regrowth. Yet she acknowledges
that survivors face long roads to recovery.<br>
"Putting an entire life back together-it just stops people in their
tracks," Good says. "Where do you even begin? How do you pick a
point and start?"<br>
The light rain is letting up at the park, and Good is excited about
showing me a large bay tree that was badly damaged by The Nuns Fire.
A hole has been burned through its trunk, but there is new growth
sprouting around its blackened base, and leaves are springing out
from its branches.<br>
"It's such an amazing example of how you can be burned through to
your core both literally and metaphorically, and even after being
burned through to the core, [the tree] still leafed out this
spring," she says. "It's a great example of individual and community
regeneration."<br>

href="https://phys.org/news/2018-08-climate-wildfireshow-link.html">Climate
change and wildfires-how do we know if there is a link?</a></b><br>
August 10, 2018 by Kevin Trenberth<br>
Yet it seems the role of climate change is seldom mentioned in many
or even most news stories about the multitude of fires and heat
waves. In part this is because the issue of attribution is not
usually clear. The argument is that there have always been
wildfires, and how can we attribute any particular wildfire to
climate change?<br>
<blockquote>As a climate scientist, I can say this is the wrong
framing of the problem. Global warming does not cause wildfires.
The proximate cause is often human carelessness (cigarette butts,
camp fires not extinguished properly, etc.), or natural, from "dry
lightning" whereby a thunderstorm produces lightning but little
rain. Rather, global warming exacerbates the conditions and raises
the risk of wildfire.<br>
</blockquote>
Even so, there is huge complexity and variability from one fire to
the next, and hence the attribution can become complex. Instead, the
way to think about this is from the standpoint of basic science - in
this case, physics.<br>
<b>Global warming is happening...</b><br>
The composition of the atmosphere is changing from human activities:
There has been over a 40 percent increase in carbon dioxide, mainly
from fossil fuel burning since the 1800s, and over half of the
increase is since 1985. Other heat-trapping gases (methane, nitrous
oxide, etc.) are also increasing in concentration in the atmosphere
from human activities. The rates are accelerating, not declining (as
hoped for with the Paris agreement).<br>
<b>This leads to an energy imbalance for the planet.</b><br>
Heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere act as a blanket and inhibit
the infrared radiation - that is, heat from the Earth - from
escaping back into space to offset the continual radiation coming
from the sun. As these gases build up, more of this energy, mostly
in the form of heat, remains in our atmosphere. The energy raises
the temperature of the land, oceans and atmosphere, melts ice, thaws
permafrost, and fuels the water cycle through evaporation.<br>
Moreover, we can estimate Earth's energy imbalance quite well: It
amounts to about 1 watt per square meter, or about 500 terawatts
globally...<br>
- - - -- <br>
<b>Tracking the Earth's energy imbalance</b><br>
The heat mostly accumulates ultimately in the ocean - over 90
percent. This added heat means the ocean expands and sea level
rises.<br>
Heat also accumulates in melting ice, causing melting Arctic sea ice
and glacier losses in Greenland and Antarctica. This adds water to
the ocean, and so the sea level rises from this as well, rising at a
rate of over 3 milimeters year, or over a foot per century.<br>
<br>
On land, the effects of the energy imbalance are complicated by
water. If water is present, the heat mainly goes into evaporation
and drying, and that feeds moisture into storms, which produce
heavier rain. But the effects do not accumulate provided that it
rains on and off.<br>
<br>
However, in a dry spell or drought, the heat accumulates. Firstly,
it dries things out, and then secondly it raises temperatures. Of
course, "it never rains in southern California" according to the
1970s pop song, at least in the summer half year.<br>
So water acts as the air conditioner of the planet. In the absence
of water, the excess heat effects accumulate on land both by drying
everything out and wilting plants, and by raising temperatures. In
turn, this leads to heat waves and increased risk of wildfire. These
factors apply in regions in the western U.S. and in regions with
Mediterranean climates. Indeed many of the recent wildfires have
occurred not only in the West in the United States, but also in
Portugal, Spain, Greece, and other parts of the Mediterranean.<br>
<br>
The conditions can also develop in other parts of the world when
strong high pressure weather domes (anticyclones) stagnate, as can
happen in part by chance, or with increased odds in some weather
patterns such as those established by either La Nina or El Nino
events (in different places). It is expected that these dry spots
move around from year to year, but that their abundance increases
over time, as is clearly happening.<br>
- -- - - -<br>
How big is the energy imbalance effect over land? Well, 1 Watt per
square meter over a month, if accumulated, is equivalent to 720
Watts per square meter over one hour. 720 Watts is equivalent to
full power in a small microwave oven. One square meter is about 10
square feet. Hence, after one month this is equivalent to: one
microwave oven at full power every square foot for six minutes. No
wonder things catch on fire!<br>
<br>
<b>Attribution science</b><br>
Coming back to the original question of wildfires and global
warming, this explains the argument: there is extra heat available
from climate change and the above indicates just how large it is.<br>
<br>
In reality there is moisture in the soil, and plants have root
systems that tap soil moisture and delay the effects before they
begin to wilt, so that it typically takes over two months for the
effects to be large enough to fully set the stage for wildfires. On
a day to day basis, the effect is small enough to be lost in the
normal weather variability. But after a dry spell of over a month,
the risk is noticeably higher. And of course the global mean surface
temperature is also going up.<br>
<br>
"We can't attribute a single event to climate change" has been a
mantra of climate scientists for a long time. It has recently
changed, however.<br>
<br>
As in the wildfires example, there has been a realization that
climate scientists may be able to make useful statements by assuming
that the weather events themselves are relatively unaffected by
climate change. This is a good assumption.<br>
<br>
Also, climate scientists cannot say that extreme events are due to
global warming, because that is a poorly posed question. However, we
can say it is highly likely that they would not have had such
extreme impacts without global warming. Indeed, all weather events
are affected by climate change because the environment in which they
occur is warmer and moister than it used to be.<br>
In particular, by focusing on Earth's Energy Imbalance, new research
is expected to advance the understanding of what is happening, and
why, and what it implies for the future.<br>

<b><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/07/carbon-removal-geoengineering-global-warming">The
Need for Carbon Removal</a></b><br>
BY HOLLY JEAN BUCK<br>
Too much global warming is already locked in. We need a radically
utopian way of removing carbon from the atmosphere.<br>
Massive removal of carbon from the atmosphere - also known as
negative emissions, carbon drawdown, or regeneration - could be a
cornerstone of either dystopian or radically utopian futures...<br>
- - - -<br>
But given what we know about climate change in 2018, it's not enough
to protest against dystopian versions of carbon removal. Too much
warming is already locked in. We need a radically utopian way of
removing carbon.<br>
If we buy into thinking of carbon removal technologies as
substitutes for reducing carbon output, then industrial interests
have already won: they have set the narrative and the framing, where
carbon capture exists so that they can continue to emit. But we
should demand more from these technologies.<br>
Industrial carbon capture technologies could instead be used as an
extension of decarbonization - mitigation to get us to zero, and
carbon removal going a step further to take emissions negative and
address some of the climate impacts already being felt.<br>
It won't be easy. But climate science suggests it's a challenge the
Left must take up...<br>
- - - -<br>
What about achieving a slightly less ambitious goal of 2C? Two and
1.5 degrees might not sound all that different, but they are. The
difference is one that threatens entire unique coral ecosystems, the
homes of five million people (including entire countries), and high
increases in the frequencies of extreme events.<br>
Rapid mitigation could still curb warming to 2C without the use of
negative emissions technologies. But that window is closing fast. If
near-term emissions reductions follow the trajectory laid out in the
commitments nations made under the Paris agreement, by 2030, 2C
scenarios will also depend upon negative emissions...<br>
- - - - -<br>
Negative emissions help maintain the narrative that although time is
running short, we can still stop catastrophic global warming if we
act now. Once we understand that this inventive arithmetic has been
employed to "solve" for 1.5, what do we do?<br>
Assuming there will be a complete about-face that puts us on a
course towards 100 percent renewables, massive lifestyle changes,
and drastic land use change for afforesting millions of hectares in
the tropics within the next ten years strikes me as not only magical
thinking, but thinking that puts many at risk of great suffering...<br>
- - - - <br>
<b>1. Engage in regulatory processes that are happening right now.</b><br>
Right now, regulations are being drafted for how CCS will be treated
in climate policy. In California, regulators are currently
considering whether fuels produced with CCS for EOR will become part
of California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard - the strictest in the
nation....<br>
- - - -<br>
<b>2. Carefully target the worst industrial offenders - while
discussing the problems of these stranded assets collectively and
publicly.</b><br>
Behind discussions of carbon removal lurks a key question: what do
we do with fossil-fuel interests?...<br>
- - - -<br>
<b>3. Create our own narrative around carbon removal, and formulate
demands.</b><br>
There are already NGOs, educators, and environmental and social
justice advocates working to change the narrative around climate
change to one of proactive action around drawdown, regeneration, and
carbon removal. They have different approaches, but a shared message
is that it's necessary and possible to reduce climate risk and make
a better world by removing carbon from the air...The demands need to
be both very specific and very broad. We are just at the beginning
of public debate, but demands could include public funding for
research and development, public ownership of carbon removal
technologies and data, public sector jobs in carbon removal, and
more....<br>
- - - -<br>
<b>4. Work in solidarity with rural organizations and producers.</b><br>
A society dedicated to carbon removal at climate-significant scales
could be an opportunity for rural reinvigoration - or one for rural
oppression, dispossession, land grabs, and a continued transfer of
wealth out of the countryside, furthering inequality and
environmental injustice, in both the developed and developing world.
In either case, carbon removal should be seen as a rural economic
development issue...<br>
- - - -<br>
<b>5. Redirect subsidies and investments towards carbon removal and
environmental justice.</b><br>
Changing the subsidies for fossil fuels are what people point out as
the first and most obvious step to decarbonization - the world
currently subsidizes fossil fuels at $500 billion per year, or $15
per ton of carbon dioxide emissions. We should be paying for the
damages instead of subsidizing what's driving them. We should also
be continuing the pressure to divest in fossil fuels, while pointing
out social investment opportunities in carbon removal...<br>
- - - - -<br>
<blockquote><b>A Moment of Opportunity</b><br>
This is the time for the Left to shape the agenda proactively
rather than reactively. We need decarbonization - and then more.
Settling for more warming when we have the capacity to lower
carbon dioxide concentrations amounts to rich-world complacency.<br>
<br>
The longer we wait to engage, the more likely that a big tech
company will have built out the platform for carbon removal on its
own terms, not public ones; the more likely that policymakers will
have instituted a complex accounting scheme for "residual
emissions" that lets industrial corporations keep polluting while
small farmers are driven off their land so it can be forested to
compensate.<br>
<br>
Or - more likely - these high tech and high eco-modernist visions
will never materialize, and the world will simply warm, and
species and lives and islands and ice will be lost forever.<br>
</blockquote>
The establishment's ambiguity about CCS over the past few decades -
the reluctance of elites to actually build the clean-up
infrastructure they themselves suggest is possible, as they wait for
the moment when they are forced to - leaves an opening for citizens
in fields, factories, and labs to shape the development of these
technologies. This is a moment where we might be able to shape the
platforms upon which they are organized, where their benefits flow
to, and who pays for it all. We can start this work as an extension
of decarbonization, right now.<br>

Emma Brockes<br>
The summer of heatwaves and forest fires leaves my friends feeling
helpless and a little hysterical. And who can blame us?<br>
No one had any answers. One friend averred that, shabby as this line
of thinking is, one had to assume that when climate change posed an
imminent threat to national security, the entire US defence budget
would be ploughed into technology to reverse it, and we would be
saved in the nick of time.<br>
This seems to me optimistic, like the disaster movie in which a
meteorite hurtling towards Earth is blown off course by a magic
missile. "Perhaps," I countered, "the answer is to raise our
children to be really likable, so they can talk their way on to the
lifeboats?" (I'd had half a gin and tonic, which is when I get my
best ideas.)<br>
Eventually, we came back to the question of Canada. (Or in the UK,
Scotland.) Assessments by climate scientists have suggested cities
around the Great Lakes are viable - and, until everyone else panics,
affordable!<br>
Denver, for reasons I forget; the Pacific north-west, if you're
willing to take your chances with the earthquakes. Meanwhile, the
property investment implications of climate change seem, obscurely,
to be part of how we got here in the first place. Peter Thiel and
his fellow billionaires are, of course, developing survival
strategies that include the creation of manmade archipelagos in
international waters. Whenever I feel lassitude about long-term
planning, I picture the future of humanity in the form of Thiel,
smug on his island, and am almost - but not quite - irritated into

Is Fighting Back Against Climate Misinformation</a></b><br>
The company is trying to combat scientific misinformation on its
platform. Wikipedia has been helping the streaming platform describe
topics like global warming, the MMR vaccine, and UFOs.<br>
By Zahra Hirji<br>
YouTube is now adding fact checks to videos that question climate
change, BuzzFeed News has confirmed, as a part of its ongoing effort
to combat the rampant misinformation and conspiratorial fodder on
its platform.<br>
On July 9, the company added a blurb of text underneath some videos
about climate change, which provided a scientifically accurate
explainer. The text comes from the Wikipedia entry for global
warming and states that "multiple lines of scientific evidence show
that the climate system is warming."<br>
This new feature follows YouTube's announcement in March that it
would place descriptions from Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica
next to videos on topics that spur conspiracy theories, such as the
moon landing and the Oklahoma City bombing. In doing the same for
climate videos, the company seems to be wading into more fraught and
complex intellectual territory.<br>
"I'd guess that it will have some influence, at least on those
people who don't know much about the subject," Anthony Leiserowitz,
director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, told
BuzzFeed News by email. "Might be confusing to some people, but
that's probably better than just accepting the denier video at face
value."<br>
- - - - -<br>
Google, which owns YouTube, has struggled to excise misinformation
from its platforms. In November 2017, it tried a feature that
fact-checked descriptions of newspapers and other items that appear
in search results but suspended it in January after some mistakes
triggered complaints.<br>
When the new Wikipedia blurb policy took effect in July, YouTube did
not publicly say that climate change was an impacted topic, and the
company did not notify users who had uploaded the affected videos.<br>
The Heartland Institute, for example, a conservative think tank that
posts videos of its staff and others questioning climate change,
told BuzzFeed News that it noticed the change a few weeks ago and
had not been notified by YouTube. Spokesperson Jim Lakely declined
to comment on the policy or its impact. PragerU, a nonprofit online
"university" that made some of the other affected videos, says
YouTube's policy shows its political bias.<br>
"Despite claiming to be a public forum and a platform open to all,
YouTube is clearly a left-wing organization," Craig Strazzeri,
PragerU's chief marketing officer, said by email. "This is just
another mistake in a long line of giant missteps that erodes
America's trust in Big Tech, much like what has already happened
with the mainstream news media."<br>
YouTuber Tony Heller, who also makes climate denial videos,
described the policy on Twitter as YouTube "putting propaganda at
the bottom of all climate videos." (He did not respond to a request
for comment.)<br>
It's not just misleading climate videos. The same climate blurb was
appended to dozens of videos explaining the evidence and impacts of
climate change...<br>
- - - -<br>
According to a BuzzFeed News review of dozens of videos, the label
shows up more consistently on videos with "global warming" and
"climate change" in the title than ones without.<br>
On a series of misleading climate videos posted by the news site RT,
there is no note about climate change, but there is a Wikipedia
description about the publisher, saying: "RT is funded in whole or
in part by the Russian government."<br>
Jason Reifler, a political science professor at the University of
Exeter, praised YouTube for starting to tackle the challenge of
misinformation but said he's skeptical of how effective the climate
change description will be.<br>
"They could have chosen wording that's stronger and gets more to
what the real terms of debate are between the extremely
well-supported consensus scientific video versus the much, much
smaller proportion of skeptics," Reifler told BuzzFeed News.<br>
"I'm doubtful this first step is going to do much," he added. "But I
hope it does!"<br>

Reports Ignite Debate Over Climate Change Coverage</a></b><br>
August 9, 2018<br>
NPR has reported in-depth repeatedly in its current fire coverage,
including in this story talking to scientists and this one, in an
interview with California Gov. Jerry Brown, and in a piece examining
why today's fires are hotter and more destructive. On Point (which
is distributed by NPR, although not produced by it) devoted an hour
to the topic. In short, there is no hint that NPR is avoiding the
story of climate change.<br>
And there is more coverage to come. NPR next week will start rolling
out newsmagazine, newscast and digital stories on the theme of
"living with fire," looking at everything from the effects of
long-term smoke exposure to what a "good fire" looks like from the
point of view of fire ecologists.<br>
<br>
Western Bureau Chief and Senior Editor Jason DeRose, who is
coordinating the stories, said some, but probably not all, will
discuss the role of climate change. But, he said, when NPR's fire
coverage is looked at in its totality, "It's very clear that we are
reporting on this in the context of climate change."<br>
<br>
Finally, I'll give Brumfiel the opportunity for a plug. He and
Jennifer Ludden - who leads NPR's energy and environment team that
works in collaboration with member stations - have developed a
strategic approach for climate change coverage, tackling stories
that are not as attention-grabbing as a fire or hurricane, but just
as important.<br>
The series, called "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.npr.org/series/629393286/heat-coping-with-a-warming-world">Heat</a>,"
has been running through the summer; all of the reporting can be
found here. It includes reports on how heat is affecting Michigan
apple growers and throwing Colorado ecosystems out of whack, and how
Maryland farmers are losing land to rising sea levels.<br>
Brumfiel said: "We're trying to really tell the stories on the
ground that are happening to Americans right now. And often those
stories aren't natural disasters. It is stuff that is happening on a
smaller scale every day; local disasters, I guess you could call
them, that are really changing America. Climate is changing all
sorts of different aspects of our lives."<br>
Meanwhile, we'll update this column if the newsroom comes to a
decision on language about climate change that would work for more
news stories.<br>
