“Fire danger levels are definitely above normal. Right now, most of
the state of Arizona is in extreme to exceptional drought,” Marvin
Percha, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in
Phoenix, told AZ Central. “All it takes now is some dusty winds and
hot temperatures, and that is a recipe for extreme fire danger
levels.”<br>

THE CENTER FOR CLIMATE & SECURITY<br>
<b>EXPLORING THE SECURITY RISKS OF CLIMATE CHANGE</b><br>
RELEASE: International Military Council Issues “World Climate and
Security Report 2021” Warning of Catastrophic Climate Risks and
Urging Significant Greenhouse Gas Reductions<br>
<blockquote>June 7, 2021 — Today the Expert Group of the
International Military Council on Climate and Security (IMCCS)
released its second annual World Climate and Security Report,
which warns of the compound security threats posed by the
convergence of climate change with other global risks, such as
COVID-19. The report reveals that the increasing pace and
intensity of climate hazards will strain military and security
services around the world as they are called on to respond to
climate-driven crises, while also facing direct climate threats to
their own infrastructure and readiness. The authors also call on
security institutions around the globe to act as “leading voices
urging significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions, given
recent warnings about the catastrophic security implications of
climate change under plausible climate scenarios.”<br>

<b>The World Climate and Security Report 2021</b><br>
RELEASE: International Military Council Issues “World Climate and

Michel Rademaker, Senior Member of the Executive Committee of the
IMCCS: <br>
<blockquote>“The WCSR 2021 provides a first-of-its-kind Climate
Security Risk Methodology enabling users to assess their country
on several climate hazard related security risks as a starter for
Coping & Adaptive Capacity Enhancement and Exposure &
Susceptibility Reduction. This approach enables a much needed
analytical basis for effective interventions and actions.”<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Francesco Femia, Co-Founder and Senior Advisor of the IMCCS,
stated:<br>
<blockquote>“As this report makes abundantly clear, nearly all
segments of society, including militaries all over the world, are
concerned about the potentially catastrophic risks of a changing
climate. Now is the time to act in a way that’s commensurate with
those risks. That means major, unprecedented, globally-coordinated
action to both rapidly reduce the scale and scope of climate
change by dramatically reducing emissions, and to rapidly adapt to
its effects. The risks are already here, and we can see greater
risks on the horizon. We therefore have a Responsibility to
Prepare and Prevent.”<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Kate Guy, Deputy Director of the IMCCS stated:<br>
<blockquote>“As seen throughout the report, climate change is no
longer a ‘future’ risk that will strike decades from now. Warming
temperatures and climate impacts are already actively shaping the
security landscape for all countries, and the WCSR offers new
tools for forecasting current and future climate threats. We
urgently need security actors worldwide to digest this research,
and to plan their strategies and operations accordingly to ensure
safe livelihoods for all.”...<br>

BILL NYE TESTIFIES ON THE CLIMATE CRISIS: Scientist and educator
Bill Nye appears before the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on
Emergency, Response, and Recovery for a hearing on the growing
threats of the climate crisis...<br>
- -<br>
He is joined by other energy, environmental, and emergency
preparedness leaders to discuss how the U.S. must take further
action to further combat the crisis. A new report from the EPA said
that effects of the climate crisis are increasing exponentially
across the U.S., with surface temperatures rising at an accelerated
rate. Increased ocean temperatures are also expected to cause
greater storms this hurricane season, which the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration has already issued warnings about.<br>

<p>[anti-government maneuver]</p>
<p><b>Amid mega-drought, rightwing militia stokes water rebellion in
US west</b><br>
Demonstrations have sparked fears of a confrontation between law
enforcement and rightwing anti-government activists</p>
<p>Fears of a confrontation between law enforcement and rightwing
militia supporters over the control of water in the
drought-stricken American west have been sparked by protests at
Klamath Falls in Oregon.<br>
<br>
Protesters affiliated with rightwing anti-government activist
Ammon Bundy’s People’s Rights Network are threatening to break a
deadlock over water management in the area by unilaterally opening
the headgates of a reservoir.<br>
<br>
The protest has reawakened memories not only of recent standoffs
with federal agencies – including the one led by Bundy in eastern
Oregon in 2016 – but a longer history of anti-government agitation
in southern Oregon and northern California, stretching back to
2000 and beyond.<br>
</p>
<p>The area is a hotbed of militia and anti-government activity and
also hit by the mega-drought that has struck the American west and
caused turmoil in the agricultural community as conflicts over
water become more intense. Among the current protesters at Klamath
Falls are individuals who have themselves been involved in similar
actions over two decades, including an illegal release of water at
the same reservoir in 2001.<br>
<br>
In May, the federal Bureau of Reclamation announced that there
would be no further release of water from the reserves in the
Klamath Basin for irrigators downstream, who rely on the Klamath
Project water infrastructure along the Oregon-California border.<br>
<br>
Later in the month, two Oregon irrigators, Grant Knoll and Dan
Neilsen, began occupying a piece of land adjacent to the headgates
of the main canal which pipes water to downstream farmers and
Native American tribal groups, like the Yurok, who depend on the
water “flushing” the river for the benefit of salmon hatchlings.<br>
<br>
Knoll and Nielsen, along with members of the People’s Rights
Network, which has engaged in militant anti-mask protests in
neighboring Idaho, began staffing a tent on the property which
they dubbed a “water crisis info center”...</p>
<p>They also told a number of media outlets that they were prepared
to restore the flow of water, even at the price of a confrontation
with the federal government, with Knoll telling Jefferson Public
Radio last Monday: “We’re going to turn on the water and have a
standoff.”<br>
</p>
<p>Also on the property is a large metal bucket, daubed with
anti-government slogans, which is a memento of a 2001
confrontation at the same spot. That July, 100 farmers, including
Knoll and Nielsen, used an 8in-wide irrigation line to bypass the
headgate, sending water down the canal. That year, the action by
the farmers was followed by other protest actions, such as an
American flag-bedecked horse charge, similar to the one that took
place on the Bundy ranch during that family’s standoff with
federal authorities in 2014.<br>
<br>
The confrontation was only defused after appeals were made to the
farmers in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks on September
11.<br>
<br>
Then as now, the reduced flows were partly with environmental
issues in mind.<br>
<br>
This year, amid the severe drought, the measure is being taken in
accordance with the Endangered Species Act, to ensure the survival
of two species of suckerfish whose last remaining habitats are in
the reservoirs.<br>
<br>
In order to keep enough water in the system to ensure their
survival, water must be denied to those who rely on it downstream,
including both farmers and tribes who depend on fishing.<br>
<br>
Endangered Coho Salmon will likely suffer from the lack of water,
along with migrating birds later in the season whose refuges have
dried up. But previous court decisions have determined that the
interests of those upstream should take precedence, including the
Klamath Tribes, for whom the suckerfish have a spiritual
significance.<br>
<br>
While the protesters claim to represent the interests of farmers,
they have been disavowed by agricultural leaders, including Ben
DuVal, president of the Klamath Water Users Association, who told
the Sacramento Bee that the protesters were “idiots who have no
business being here”, who were using the crisis as “a soapbox to
push their agenda”.<br>
<br>
Whether or not DuVal speaks for the majority of farmers, there is
no sign that the so far small protest is catching on like 2001’s
anti-government surge, which saw protest crowds in the thousands
in the lead up to the breaching of the headgates.<br>
<br>
And while the protesters’ placards promise “Ammon Bundy coming
soon”, their leader has so far not made the trip to the Klamath
camp from neighboring Idaho, where he recently filed to run for
governor.<br>
