<b>In Response to Climate Change, Citizens in Advanced Economies Are
Willing To Alter How They Live and Work</b><br>
Many doubt success of international efforts to reduce global warming<br>
- -<br>
Conducted this past spring, before the summer season ushered in new
wildfires, droughts, floods and stronger-than-usual storms, the
study reveals a growing sense of personal threat from climate change
among many of the publics polled. In Germany, for instance, the
share that is “very concerned” about the personal ramifications of
global warming has increased 19 percentage points since 2015 (from
18% to 37%)...<br>
- -<br>
Intense concern about the personal effects of climate change has
increased sharply in several major economies since 2015<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.pewresearch.org/global/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/PG_2021.09.14_Climate_0-02.png">https://www.pewresearch.org/global/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/PG_2021.09.14_Climate_0-02.png</a><br>

Adults in the Asia-Pacific region also generally give China poor
ratings for dealing with climate change. South Koreans are
exceptionally critical; about two-thirds say China is doing a very
bad job, the highest share in all publics surveyed. About
four-in-ten or more in New Zealand, Japan and Australia concur.
Singaporeans stand out, as half say China is doing a good job,
nearly 20 percentage points higher than the next highest public.<br>
<br>
In nine countries surveyed, those with less education are more
positive toward China’s response to climate change than those with
more education. Likewise, those with lower incomes are more inclined
to provide positive evaluations of China’s climate change response.
Those with less education or lower incomes are also less likely to
provide a response in several publics.<br>

Greenland was ice-free not long ago, and could be going there again.
New revelations from Dr. Andrew Christ, University of Vermont.
Glacier melted within last million years, ice drilling shows. With
human-forced global warming, this could happen much faster, raising
global sea levels 7 meters, over 40 feet! Astounding new science

<i>[Youth future]</i><br>
<b>Climate change: Young people very worried - survey</b><br>
By Roger Harrabin<br>
BBC environment analyst<br>
The survey was carried out by the data analytics firm Kantar in the
UK, Finland, France, the US, Australia, Portugal, Brazil, India, the
Philippines and Nigeria. It's under peer review on open access.<br>
<br>
Young people were asked their views on the following statements:<br>
<blockquote>People have failed to care for the planet: 83% agreed
globally, UK 80%<br>
The future is frightening: 75%, UK 72%<br>
Governments are failing young people: 65%, UK 65%<br>
Governments can be trusted: 31%, UK 28%<br>
</blockquote>
The researchers said they were moved by the scale of distress. One
young person said: "I don't want to die, but I don't want to live in
a world that doesn't care for children and animals."<br>

<b>Young People Are Anxious About Climate Change And Say Governments
Are Failing Them</b><br>
September 14, 2021<br>
SHARON PRUITT-YOUNG<br>
- -<br>
Scientists say that nations aren't passing the right kinds of bold
policies to avert the worst effects of climate change. The survey
suggests that young people around the world grasp how widespread and
dangerous political inaction is on climate change.<br>
<br>
The study concluded that there's a correlation between negative
emotions, such as worry, and beliefs that government responses to
climate change have been inadequate. So the way governments have
been addressing — or failing to address — climate change is directly
affecting the mental health of young people...<br>
- -<br>
Positive feelings such as optimism were reported least among the
respondents, researchers said. In fact, 77% said that they
considered the future to be frightening, and 56% agreed with the
viewpoint that humanity is doomed, according to the study.<br>
<br>
For many young people, those feelings of fear and worry affect their
ability to function, too, results showed. More than 45% of the
respondents said the way they feel about climate change adversely
affects their day-to-day lives...<br>
- -<br>
Across all the countries represented — the United States, the United
Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, France, Finland, India, Nigeria,
Portugal and the Philippines — 65% of young people felt their
government was failing them on climate change and 60% felt that the
government had been dismissing citizens' distress over it. Nearly
half of those who said they talk with other people about climate
change said that their concerns were ignored, according to
researchers.<br>
<br>
Combating climate change individually isn't enough on its own, the
researchers said. Those in power have a responsibility to act to
protect not only the Earth but also the mental health of those who
stand to inherit the planet, they said.<br>
<br>
As one 16-year-old included in the study wrote, "I think it's
different for young people. For us, the destruction of the planet is
personal."<br>

<b>Soil carbon sequestration: When does increased soil C storage
yield net removal of greenhouse gases?</b><br>
Sep 14, 2021<br>
AGU<br>
Keen public interest in soil carbon sequestration will test the
scientific community’s ability to deliver effective management
practices and durable scientific concepts. The goal of this webinar
series is to hear diverse perspectives on key technical questions
that inform how to go about sequestering soil carbon in working
lands.<br>
<br>
In Webinar 3 we will explore how practices that increase soil
organic carbon impact emissions of nitrous oxide, and ask whether
storing more carbon is enough to reduce the net GHG impact of
agriculture. We will hear case studies from France by Claire Chenu
(INRAE) and the U.S. Midwest by Jane Johnson (USDA-ARS).<br>
<br>
This series is sponsored by the International Soil Carbon Network in
partnership with AGU and the USDA Climate Hubs.<br>

<b>Climate Delay Is the New Climate Denial</b><br>
The industry that has denied climate change for decades now has a
new tactic.<br>
BY CCNOW<br>
From the industry that has denied climate change for decades, now
comes a new tactic: “climate delay.” Some of the world’s biggest oil
companies now appear to be ditching climate denial in favor of
posing as enthusiastic backers of climate solutions. Left unsaid is
that their “solutions” do nothing to alter the industry’s business
model. A skeptic might say they’re kicking the (oil) can down the
road. ..<br>
<blockquote><b>ESSENTIAL NEWS</b><br>
<b>Calls to Delay. </b>Activists have called on the UN to delay
the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow this November, saying that
vaccine equity and prohibitively high costs to quarantine once
people have arrived in Glasgow could exclude the Global South.
COP26 president Alok Sharma said the talks must go on as planned.
From Reuters…<br>

<b>Go solar!</b> Solar energy could account for 40% of US energy
by 2035, representing a rise from 3% today, according to a new
report from the Department of Energy. The study outlines how the
Biden administration could achieve the goal of decarbonizing the
electricity sector by 2035. Whether that can happen depends on the
fate of the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill. From CNN…<br>
<br>
<b>Chronic disaster mode.</b> This summer, one in three people in
the US experienced a climate-related weather disaster, an analysis
of federal data by The Washington Post shows. If nothing changes,
this is only the beginning. From The Washington Post… <br>
<br>
<b>In the ground.</b> A new scientific study finds that the
majority of fossil fuels must stay in the ground to stem the
climate crisis. The assessment finds a major disconnect between
the Paris goals and the fossil fuel industry’s expansion plans.
From the Guardian…<br>
<br>
<b>Maybe there is no ‘waking up.’</b> In a passionate and
clear-eyed op-ed, veteran climate reporter Jeff Goodell posits
that after the last few months of unrelenting climate crises that
should have “woken us up,” no such realization and reversal seem
to be coming. If a cascade of fires, floods, heat deaths, Covid
deaths, and hurricanes can’t move us to collective action, what
can? From Rolling Stone…<br>
