SEPT 07, 2018 - H15 delta fire<br>
In Northern California, a massive wildfire tripled in size
overnight, amid high temperatures and dry conditions. The Delta Fire
in Shasta County has consumed more than 34 square miles of trees and
brush and forced the closure of Interstate 5, where some truck
drivers abandoned their rigs to flee oncoming flames. The fire comes
amid a record fire season in California that climate scientists say
is likely exacerbated by global warmi<font size="-1">ng.<br>

issues internal guidance on how to report climate change</a></b><br>
All of the BBC's editorial staff have also been invited to sign up
for a one-hour "training course on reporting climate change". Carbon
Brief understands <b>this is the first time that the BBC has issued
formal reporting guidance to its staff on this topic.</b><br>
[Sample clip:]<br>
<blockquote>What's the BBC's position?<br>
<b>Man-made climate change exists:</b> If the science proves it we
should report it. The BBC accepts that the best science on the
issue is the IPCC's position, set out above.<br>
<b>Be aware of 'false balance':</b> As climate change is accepted
as happening, you do not need a 'denier' to balance the debate.
Although there are those who disagree with the IPCC's position,
very few of them now go so far as to deny that climate change is
happening. To achieve impartiality, you do not need to include
outright deniers of climate change in BBC coverage, in the same
way you would not have someone denying that Manchester United won
2-0 last Saturday. The referee has spoken. However, the BBC does
not exclude any shade of opinion from its output, and with
appropriate challenge from a knowledgeable interviewer, there may
be occasions to hear from a denier.<br>
<b>There are occasions where contrarians and sceptics should be
included within climate change and sustainability debates</b>.
These may include, for instance, debating the speed and intensity
of what will happen in the future, or what policies government
should adopt. Again, journalists need to be aware of the guest's
viewpoint and how to challenge it effectively. As with all topics,
we must make clear to the audience which organisation the speaker
represents, potentially how that group is funded and whether they
are speaking with authority from a scientific perspective – in
short, making their affiliations and previously expressed opinions
clear.<br>

href="https://www.ecowatch.com/did-kavanaugh-lie-to-senate-2602840127.html">On
Environmental Record, Did Kavanaugh Lie to Senate?</a></b><br>
By Scott Faber<br>
In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday,
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh grossly misrepresented his
record on the environment.<br>
Kavanaugh, President Trump's nominee to fill the court's critical
swing seat, cited four cases as evidence of his willingness to rule
against industry to protect the environment.<br>
But in one of those cases, Kavanaugh actually ruled in favor of
weakening air quality rules for cement plants. In another, Kavanaugh
doubled down on his position that the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) lacks the legal authority to regulate the greenhouse
gases that cause climate change. In a third case, Kavanaugh's
concurring opinion laid the groundwork for challenges of EPA
regulations by polluting industries.<br>
What's more important are the cases he failed to mention. The fact
is that in 16 of 18 cases, Kavanaugh has ruled in favor of more air
and water pollution, and in 17 of 18 cases, he has ruled to weaken
protection for endangered species.<br>
So, when it comes to the environment, Judge Kavanaugh has ruled for
industry 32 out of 35 times. That's good news for industry, but
really bad news for the rest of us.<br>
Kavanaugh has ruled that the EPA lacks the authority to regulate
greenhouse gases. He ruled against regulating cross-state air
pollution. He ruled in favor of dumping coal waste and dumping
hazardous waste. He ruled that it's okay for factory farms to foul
the air of their neighbors.<br>
When the Trump administration sought to delay rules designed to
reduce climate-changing emissions of methane, Kavanaugh sided with
polluters. When the EPA sought to replace fluorinated chemicals
known as HFCs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, he complained that
the proposed rule pulled the rug out from under polluters—even
though replacement chemicals are readily available. Kavanaugh also
supported giving large plants and factories more time to comply with
greenhouse gas rules.<br>
In some cases, Kavanaugh has adopted the view that the EPA must
always weigh the costs to polluters against the benefits to public
health, regardless of Congressional direction. When the EPA was
proposing to regulate mercury emissions, Kavanaugh argued that the
EPA was obligated to consider the costs of regulatory compliance to
polluters.<br>
Likewise, when the EPA proposed to apportion cross-state pollution,
Kavanaugh sided with industry by advocating for the regulation that
is least costly to industry, not most protective of public health.<br>
In another case, Kavanaugh argued that the EPA had failed to
consider the costs to a coal company dumping mine waste into
streams, even though the agency had no obligation to consider cost.
In one case, Kavanaugh sought to underestimate the public health
benefits of reducing mercury pollution by discounting other
benefits, like reducing particulate matter.<br>

With little hope of federal action, a series of marches and events

low-income and minority groups bearing the brunt<br>
Climate change activism has always had the stubbornly tough task of
mobilizing the public to confront a slow-moving, largely invisible
problem while being stymied by a fantastically wealthy fossil fuel
industry and an array of sceptics in politics and the media.<br>
Climate campaigners would, therefore, be forgiven a few moments of
despair in the era of Donald Trump. Trump's election elicited two
large public howls from those concerned about climate change – the
People's Climate March and the Science March, held within days of
each other in April last year – but any hopes of persuasion have now
given way to attritional confrontation and attempts to bypass the
administration altogether...<br>

over climate change hit highest level in a decade following
heatwave, study says</a></b><br>
Exclusive: 72 per cent of British adults now 'very' or 'fairly'
concerned about impacts of climate change<br>
Harry Cockburn <br>
British people's concern over climate change hit the highest level
in almost a decade amid the record-breaking heatwave which swept
across Britain this summer, a new poll has revealed.<br>
While many people took the opportunity to enjoy the hot weather, the
unprecedented temperatures also appear to have led many to worry
about what caused it.<br>
The poll by Opinium showed 60 per cent of British adults think
climate change made the heatwave "stronger or more likely to
happen".<br>
It also revealed almost a third of respondents (30 per cent) now
describe themselves as "very concerned" about climate change –
higher than any poll since 2008. A further 42 per cent said they are
"fairly" concerned.<br>
The soaring summer heat surpassed the record set in 1976 in England
and daytime temperatures regularly rose above 30C across the country
throughout June and July.<br>
The dry conditions had a significant impact on farms, with warnings
food prices could rise in the coming months. There were also record
A&E admissions over the summer.<br>
- - - - <br>
"This is also not the first time that the fingerprints of climate
change have been seen on extreme weather events in the UK, with
devastating storms that caused hundreds of millions of pounds in
damage in 2015 made 40 per cent more likely by climate change."<br>
He added: "As more of these events occur in the UK, public support
for action to cut emissions is likely to continue to swell."<br>
A spokesperson from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural
Affairs told The Independent: "We are taking robust action to ensure
our country is resilient and prepared for the challenges a changing
climate brings. <br>
"Our long-term plan for climate change adaptation sets out ongoing
work and investment to make sure food and water supplies are
protected, businesses and communities are properly prepared and the
right infrastructure is in place."<br>

Can Legally Limit CO2 Emissions from Power Plants, Court Rules</a></b><br>
While the Trump administration tries to roll back pollution
controls, states are setting their own climate change rules in a
shift toward cleaner energy.<br>
BY MARIANNE LAVELLE<br>
Massachusetts' highest court on Tuesday resoundingly upheld the
state's power to impose limits on carbon emissions from power
plants.<br>
It's the latest example of states establishing their authority to
fill the regulatory void the Trump administration is creating as it
moves to roll back the Clean Power Plan and other federal climate
regulations.<br>
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection finalized
rules last year to require power plants within the state's borders
to reduce their emissions annually, amounting to a 7 percent
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from current levels by 2020
and an 80 percent reduction by 2050. It is one of a suite of clean
energy and pollution control policies state officials have put into
place under the Global Warming Solutions Act, signed into law by
then-Gov. Deval Patrick in 2008...<br>
- - - - -<br>
Massachusetts' Push Away from Fossil Fuels<br>
The decision comes at pivotal moment for Massachusetts, as it
transitions to cleaner energy.<br>
The state's last coal plant, Brayton Point in Somerset, closed last
year, and the state has been investing in the infrastructure to
support an offshore wind industry. The Vineyard Wind project, an 800
megawatt offshore wind farm planned off the coast of Martha's
Vineyard, is expected to soon start the state toward its goal of
having 1,600 megawatts of offshore wind energy by 2027.<br>
"It spells the end of fossil fuel electricity in Massachusetts,"
said David Ismay, an attorney with the Boston-based Conservation Law
Foundation, arguing the standards will mean a gradual phase-down in
the natural gas generation, which dominates the state's electricity
mix.<br>
"It solidifies the shift to clean energy."...<br>

Army Corps Is Stonewalling on Dakota Access Pipeline Report,
Spill Risk</a></b><br>
The Corps says it found no significant environmental impact, but
it's holding back the report. Standing Rock calls it rubber-stamping
an 'illegal and flawed permit'.<br>
BY PHIL MCKENNA<br>
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is defending its claim that the
Dakota Access pipeline has no significant environmental impact, but
it issued only a brief summary of its court-ordered reassessment
while keeping the full analysis confidential.<br>
<br>
The delay in releasing the full report, including crucial details
about potential oil spills, has incensed the Standing Rock Tribe,
whose reservation sits a half-mile downstream from where the
pipeline crosses the Missouri River.<br>
<br>
The tribe said the Army Corps is stonewalling, and it said it will
continue to oppose the pipeline. Meanwhile, oil continues to flow
through the pipeline two years after opponents set up a desperate
encampment to try to block the project.<br>
- - - - <br>
Memo Fails to Address Oil Spill Risk<br>
A key omission from the Corps' memo was detailed technical
information about a worst case scenario spill from the pipeline into
the Missouri River and the risks such a spill would pose to members
of the Standing Rock reservation, Hasselman said. The reservation is
just downstream from where the pipeline crosses the Missouri River,
the tribe's water supply. The tribe says it has struggled to get
detailed information about potential spills and spill response plans
from Energy Transfer Partners...<br>

Refuge Can't Protect its Wildlife from Climate Change</a><br>
</b>Plummeting populations in a huge Alaska wildlife refuge might
be caused by climate change and plastics.<br>
BY SAMANTHA YADRON<br>
Jones researches marine heat waves, which can cause extreme,
ecosystem-wide harm to wildlife. The most well-known marine heat
wave, "the blob," caused an unprecedented auklet die-off just
south of the refuge from 2014-2015.<br>
"Marine heat waves are becoming more frequent and more intense,"
says Jones, and they build upon each warmer year, affecting
seabirds "in ways that are fairly unpredictable."<br>
The die-offs have continued into 2018, with more than 1,400 birds
reported rotting on Bering Sea beaches and showing signs of
starvation since May, according to the National Park Service...<br>

"There was a huge die-off, as a matter of fact, of murres this
winter and they were mostly emaciated. They didn't have the food
they needed to eat," Causey said.<br>
"It seems to be an ecosystem-wide problem," Padula said.<br>
According to the National Park Service, "Hundreds of thousands of
seabirds, mostly common murres, died of starvation" along the
Pacific coast, the Gulf of Alaska, and in the Aleutian Islands
from 2015-2016. Surveys discovered nearly 2,100 bird carcasses
rotting on the region's beaches in 2016.<br>
"The Bering Sea is so dependent and so responsive to changes in
the sea ice," says Jones, to the point where the food supply
dwindles and becomes less nutritious. "We've seen this in parts of
Alaska pretty much every year since 2014."<br>
