days for heat wave?! District cutting days in half</a></b><br>
LAWRENCE, Mass. -<br>
Schools across Massachusetts are returning to session just as
another intense round of heat and humidity is set to impact the Bay
State.<br>
With forecasted temperatures in the low 90s and heat index values
close to 100, the Lawrence Public School Distrct has elected to
shorten the first school days of the year.<br>
"Due to heat wave, all Lawrence Public Schools will have early
dismissal Monday Aug. 27 through Thursday Aug. 30," a notice on the
district's website said. "No preschool classes all week."<br>
We've reached out for comment from the school district.<font

Wind Power Is 'Going All Out' with Bigger Tech, Falling Prices,
Reports Show</a></b><br>
Three new government reports detail how the wind industry is
expanding - offshore and onshore - and the role corporations,
technology and tax credits are playing.<br>
BY DAN GEARINO, INSIDECLIMATE NEWS<br>
Wind power capacity has tripled across the United States in just the
last decade as prices have plunged and the technology has become
more muscular, the federal government's energy labs report.<br>
Three new reports released Thursday on the state of U.S. wind power
show how the industry is expanding onshore with bigger, more
powerful turbines that make wind energy possible even in areas with
lower wind speeds.<br>
Offshore, the reports describe a wind industry poised for a market
breakthrough.<br>
"Right now it's going full bore," said Mark Bolinger, a research
scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and co-author
of one of the new reports. "The industry is really going all out."<br>
<b>Some of the key findings:</b><br>
<blockquote>The country's wind energy capacity has tripled since
2008, reaching 88,973 megawatts by the end of 2017. Wind
contributed 6.3 percent of the nation's energy supply last year.<br>
<br>
The average price of wind power sales agreements is now about 2
cents per kilowatt-hour, down from a high of 9 cents in 2009 and
low enough to be competitive with natural gas in some areas.<br>
<br>
State renewable energy requirements once were the leading
contributor to demand for new wind farms, but they were
responsible for just 23 percent of new project capacity last year
due to rising demand for clean energy from corporate customers,
like Google and General Motors, and others. <br>
<br>
Offshore wind is going from almost nothing, with just five wind
turbines and 30 megawatts of capacity off Rhode Island, to 1,906
megawatts that developers have announced plans to complete by
2023.<br>
</blockquote>
"The short story is wind is doing well in the markets, has been
doing well, and looks like it will continue to do well," said
Michael Webber, deputy director of the energy institute at the
University of Texas at Austin, who was not involved with the
reports...<br>

the Relationships between Extreme Weather Events, Vulnerability,
and the Impacts on Human Wellbeing in Latin America</a></b><br>

Programme (IICIRP)<br>

as recently completed a study on climate change and health in Latin
America, which led to the paper titled "An Assessment of the
Relationships between Extreme Weather Events, Vulnerability, and the
Impacts on Human Wellbeing in Latin America" published in the Int.
J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2018, 15(9), 1802. <br>
<b>Abstract</b><br>
<blockquote>Climate change and variability are known to have an
influence on human wellbeing in a variety of ways. In Latin
America, such forces are especially conspicuous, particularly in
respect of extreme climatological, hydrological, and weather
events (EWEs) and climate-sensitive disasters (CSDs). Consistent
with the need to study further such connections, this paper
presents an analysis of some of the vulnerabilities of
environmental health issues and climate-related impacts that are
focusing on EWEs and CSDs in Latin American countries. The
research includes an analysis of the (i) human and socio-economic
development; (ii) geographical and socio-economic determinants of
vulnerability and adaptability of environmental health issues
(exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity); (iii) occurrence
of CSDs from 1988 to 2017 and their direct impacts on human
wellbeing (Total death and Affected people); (iv) an online survey
on the perceptions of the effects of EWEs on human wellbeing in a
sample of countries in the region; and (v) discussion of possible
solutions. The socio-economic and development indices, and the
International Disaster Database (EM-DAT) and Climate-Risk Index
(CRI) disaster statistics suggest that the impacts of CSDs are
primarily related to socio-economic determinants of human
wellbeing and health inequalities. Also, >80% respondents to
the survey say that the leading causes of climate-related human
impacts are the lack of (i) public awareness; (ii) investment and
(iii) preparedness. The paper concludes by adding some suggestions
that show how countries in Latin America may better cope with the
impacts of Climate-sensitive Disasters<br>

[A simple rant]<br>
<b><a
href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/08/22/capitalisms-rough-tumble-climate-affair/">Capitalism's
Rough & Tumble Climate Affair</a></b><br>
by ROBERT HUNZIKER<br>
It's entirely possible that capitalism and climate change are not
compatible. They just cannot seem to live together, kinda like a
marriage on the rocks. Assuming the planet is headed for a 2C
climate event in the not so distant future, some kind of separation
is probably necessary to avoid planetary dystopia and chaos.<br>
<br>
A solution of sorts is often whispered in the hallowed halls of
academia, and it is scribbled in obscure blogs, suggesting the
abolishment of capitalism as the best way to help rid the planet of
an existential threat of RGW (runaway global warming). But, that is
kinda outrageous and silly and, well, it just doesn't seem possible.<br>
<br>
Still, capitalism plays too rough for the sensitive planet. In
reality, Earth doesn't stand a chance against the forces of
capitalism. What to do?<br>
<br>
In point of fact, the world order is deeply ingrained in unabashed
capitalism, the pandering, plundering type that chews up and spits
out any form of interference as quickly as one can say Milton
'laissez-faire' Friedman: Slash taxes, throw-out regulations,
transfer public assets into private hands, cut welfare benefits,
degrade schools, and infinite growth as the universal fixit.<br>
<br>
But, it's worth noting as for Friedman's long-standing position that
government should not interfere with private biz, Allen Sinai chief
global economist for Decision Economics, Inc, discussing Friedman's
free-market dogma vis a vis the 2008 economic meltdown: "The free
market is not geared to take care of the casualties, because there's
no profit motive."<br>
<br>
When things go bad, capitalism puts its tail between its legs and
heads for the hills as the free market doctrine turns into a wet
limp rag. FDR understood this only too well and did something about
it.<br>
<br>
Whereas the global warming challenge cannot risk dependence upon a
socio-economic-politico order that shirks responsibility when the
going gets tough, especially because of a simple lack of profit
motive. As such, capitalism does not seem like a good candidate to
help fight the global warming leviathan.<br>
<br>
Making matters worse, as well as a more compelling argument for some
kind of change of the socio-economic-political order, America, a
hotbed of capitalism, shows utter disdain for the threat of global
warming, rejecting the Paris agreement of 2015 and re-invigorating
fossil fuels at the expense of renewable energy. That kind of
behavior by a country responsible for 25% of global CO2 is reason
enough to call for a major change of some kind.<br>
<br>
Along those lines, recent climate studies of significance, with
powerful names involved, "allude" to the need to change the world
socio-economic order to achieve a "Stabilized Earth Pathway."<br>
<br>
For example, suggestions are alluded to within "Trajectories of the
Earth System in the Anthropocene," Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, August 6, 2018, which suggests a deep
transformation, to wit:<br>
<blockquote> "The present dominant socioeconomic system, however, is
based on high-carbon economic growth and exploitative resource
use. Attempts to modify this system have met with some success
locally but little success globally in reducing greenhouse gas
emissions or building more effective stewardship of the biosphere.
Incremental linear changes to the present socioeconomic system are
not enough to stabilize the Earth System. Widespread, rapid, and
fundamental transformations will likely be required to reduce the
risk of crossing the threshold and locking in the Hot- house Earth
pathway; these include changes in behavior, technology and
innovation, governance, and values… We suggest that a deep
transformation based on a fundamental reorientation of human
values, equity, behavior, institutions, economies, and
technologies is required."<br>
</blockquote>
A "deep transformation" based upon a fundamental reorientation of
human values, equity, behavior, institutions, economies, and
technologies is brainiac talk for throw out the existing order and
start over. Deep transformation doesn't just mean passing new
legislation. It means deep-sixing the body politic.<br>
<br>
Accordingly, is it time for change? After all, the world is filling
up with billionaires and millionaires aka: transnationalists so
rapidly that it's a wonder there's enough room on the planet, buying
islands, offshore ocean cities, multiple homes in order to have at
least one residence in a no-tax state, gobs and gobs of offshore
bank accounts to avoid federal taxes and keep regulators off
balance, gas-guzzling private jets, maybe 2 or 3 and 10-car garages,
and that's only for starters.<br>
<br>
Along the way, plutocrats don't do anything to help the biosphere.
But they do use it!<br>
It's no mystery and certainly no secret that rampant CO2, produced
by the bucketful by transnationalists and their assorted interests
blankets, and heats up, the atmosphere as an unintended consequence
of capitalism's massive infinite growth paradigm, whilst producing
billionaires and millionaires like rabbits in heat as the planet
turns red hot.<br>
<br>
Similar to a final show-of-shows miserably failing, the capitalist
bandwagon has turned into a freakish sideshow that only pays lip
service to helping the planet. Solution: Maybe they could help via a
wealth tax (no problem getting 99% approval) that plows their
excesses into renewable energy and scientific studies aimed at
correcting 200+ years of capitalistic blissfulness cruising
alongside denigration of the only known biosphere in the universe
that supports life.<br>
<b>Give me my planet or give me death!</b><br>
Wait a moment; didn't America's founding fathers say something
similar to that when the Revolution of the Wealthy (1775) took place
in a ground war between America's landed gentry (George Washington)
and the British crown (George III). (As an aside: Patrick "give me
liberty or give me death" Henry, similar to General Washington,
owned big estates and slaves.)<br>
Sloganeering worked just fine back in those revolutionary days! But,
back then sloganeering had the backing of the rich landed gentry
that also controlled all of the news.<br>
Nowadays it's unlikely that a silly slogan like "give me my planet
or give me death," which refers to a defaced planet that nobody can
buy or own, will survive this polemic. Fat chance!<br>

is what climate change looks like': UW-Madison Center for
Limnology experiences flooding</a></b><br>
Center is flooded due to Lake Mendota's high water<br>
Posted: August 23, 2018<br>
MADISON, Wis. - The University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for
Limnology is experiencing flooding from lake levels on Lake Mendota
rising, a blog post from center said.<br>
The blog pot written by Adam Hinterthuer from the Center for
Limnology said since all of the water couldn't get off the land fast
enough in the beginning, this caused extreme flooding in areas west
of Madison. There was anywhere from 3.92 inches by the Dane County
Airport to 11.63 by the National Weather Service in Middleton.<br>
Now, the water is working its way downstream to the lakes, causing
the lake levels to rise.<br>
Lake Mendota water is swamping the center's Wet Lab with ankle-deep
water. An Aqua Dam, or inflatable dike, is currently being used in
the Wet Lab.<br>
<br>
The blog post said Facility Manager Dave Harring has used the device
before for days of sustained rain, not traditionally one event.<br>
<br>
With the single event of rainfall, the editorial said the center
will be keeping a closer eye on the weather.<br>
<br>
Floods like this one are becoming more common. "In other words, this
is what climate change looks like," the blog post said.<br>
A report by the organization Media Matters for America, which was
mentioned by Emily Atkins in the New Republic, found out of 127
segments aired about the summer's global heat wave, only one report
mentioned climate change.<br>
<br>
"We know that it is impossible to pin a singular weather event on
climate change," the blog post. "There are too many variables at
play to say climate change caused the outbreak of 70 tornadoes in
Arkansas, Louisiana and North Carolina this April, or the costliest
hurricane season on record in 2017, or the rain that fell from last
Monday night to Tuesday morning."<br>
Researchers and scientists across the country who have been
documenting weather events have noticed some trends including
increased extreme tornado outbreaks, more intense hurricanes and
extreme precipitation events are more common, especially in the
Midwest and Northeast U.S.<br>
<br>
"Global warming has changed the stage upon which the weather
performs," the blog post said.<br>
The blog post said the center has seen the impact of climate change
in its work "from shrinking lake ice to declining walleye
populations to increasing harmful algae blooms."<br>
"Climate change is not just some future problem looming on the
horizon. It's here now. And we're dealing with its impacts," the
blog post said.<br>
