<b>As Trump Again Rejects Science, Biden Calls Him a 'Climate
Arsonist'</b><br>
The president visited California after weeks of silence on its
wildfires and blamed the crisis only on poor forest management, not
climate change. "I don't think science knows" what is happening, he
said.<br>

Wildfires, Not Integration, Threaten Suburbs, Joe Biden Warns in
Climate Change Speech<br>
In a speech at the Natural History Museum in Wilmington, Delaware,
on climate change and the wildfires gripping the west, Democratic
presidential nominee Joe Biden criticizes President Trump's record
on environmental policies and warns that giving him four more
years would only further endanger the nation and American lives
and livelihoods. Mr. Biden calls the president a "climate denier"
and "climate arsonist," saying, "Trump warned that integration's
threatening our suburbs. It's ridiculous. But you know what's
actually threatening our suburbs? Wildfires are burning suburbs in
the West. Floods are wiping out suburbs neighborhoods in the
Midwest. Hurricanes are imperiling suburban life."<br>

<b>'I Don't Think Science Knows': Visiting Fires, Trump Denies
Climate Change</b><br>
September 14, 2020<br>
ALANA WISE<br>
With wildfires devastating the West and a hurricane bearing down on
the Gulf Coast, President Trump, who has for years mocked and denied
the reality of climate change, was briefed on Monday on the status
of fires in California.<br>
<br>
During his briefing, which included California Democratic Gov. Gavin
Newsom, officials repeatedly invoked climate change and its impact
on the state's ability to manage the raging infernos.<br>
<br>
Still, even as more than two dozen wildfires roared across
California alone, Trump declined to acknowledge the role climate
change likely played in fueling the flames.<br>
<br>
"We've had temperatures explode this summer...We want to work with
you to really recognize the changing climate and what it means to
our forests and actually work together with that science," said Wade
Crowfoot, California's secretary for natural resources. "That
science is going to be key because if we ignore that science and
sort of put our head in the sand and think it's all about vegetation
management, we're not going to succeed in protecting Californians."<br>
<br>
"It'll start getting cooler. You just -- you just watch," the
president said.<br>
<br>
"I wish science agreed with you," Crowfoot said.<br>
<br>
"Well, I don't think science knows, actually," he said...<br>

[a Climate Communicator with powerful personal expressions]<br>
<b>Sarah Myhre talks climate communication</b><br>
Sep 14, 2020<br>
John Cook<br>
In this interview, John Cook and Peter Jacobs talk with climate
scientist Sarah Myhre. She offers challenging advice on climate
scientists being more vulnerable in public, showing how they
struggle with their science, how we care about the ways that
communities are impacted by climate change. She reflects on whether
scientists should engage with the public on climate change - how the
personal risks of public engagement are completely eclipsed by the
risks that humanity faces if we fail to properly address climate
change. Lastly, she talks about how past climate proxies like
tree-rings & sediment cores are powerful ways to communicate the
lessons from past climate change - that our climate is unstable and
there are major consequences from perturbing the carbon system in
the atmosphere and causing warming.<br>

<b>The Arctic Is Shifting to a New Climate Because of Global Warming</b><br>
Open water and rain, rather than ice and snow, are becoming typical
of the region, a new study has found.<br>
By Henry Fountain<br>
Sept. 14, 2020<br>
<br>
The effects of global warming in the Arctic are so severe that the
region is shifting to a different climate, one characterized less by
ice and snow and more by open water and rain, scientists said
Monday.<br>
- -<br>
Dr. Landrum said that Arctic communities are already suffering from
the changes. Eroding coastlines are forcing some Alaska Native
villages to consider relocating. Other changes are affecting the
food supply. Warmer storms that bring rain on existing snow, for
example, can lead to starvation of the animals Indigenous groups
rely on.<br>
"Arctic climate change is not in the future for them," she said.
"It's now."<br>
<br>
Dr. Landrum said the climate models used in the study simulated the
future in a world where planet-warming emissions of greenhouse gases
remained high. That provides some fodder for optimism, she said.<br>
<br>
"We still have an opportunity to change how rapidly the Arctic
evolves," she said, "if we end up changing our emissions."<br>
<br>
"You can't just give up. If you work hard and make some changes
there's a possibility you'd have some dramatic effects."<br>
<br>
Another study released Monday suggested that two Antarctic glaciers
that have long been of concern to scientists over their potential to
contribute to sea level rise may be in worse shape than previously
thought.<br>
<br>
The Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers are rivers of ice, slowly
moving ice from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in the continent's
interior to the ocean, where it melts and adds to sea level rise. In
recent decades the two glaciers' movement has accelerated, leading
to more ice loss from the interior, largely because of melting by
warm water underneath the glaciers.<br>
<br>
Even with the acceleration, however, complete melting of this part
of the West Antarctic sheet could take centuries.The new study,
published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
analyzed satellite imagery and found cracks and other signs of
stress damage to the glaciers' ice shelves, the leading edges that
float on the water. This evidence of damage, the paper's authors
wrote, is the first sign of structural weakening of the ice shelves,
a process that can end in the shelves' disintegration and even
faster glacial flow of ice to the ocean. The authors said that
incorporating these damage processes into models of ice-sheet
dynamics is critical for more accurate assessments of potential
sea-level rise.<br>
