<b>Global Ocean Destruction. Can we stop ourselves destroying our
own life support systems?</b><br>
Oct 6, 2021<br>
Just Have a Think<br>
Our oceans are in big trouble. For decades they've been soaking up
the worst excesses of profligate human overconsumption, everything
from heat energy and carbon dioxide to chemical run off and waste
plastics. We've been using the deep blue seas as a global garbage
bin, and now they're overflowing. A new report from the Copernicus
Marine Service outlines just how serious the situation has become.<br>

<b>Copernicus Marine Service - Summary Report</b><br>
The Ocean State Report 5 Summary is now available online from the
Copernicus Marine Service and Mercator Ocean International (see full
report). This annual publication provides a comprehensive and
state-of-the-art report on the current state, natural variations,
and ongoing changes in the European regional seas and global ocean,
particularly in 2019. Available in a concise, illustrated, and
easily accessible format, the Summary (available in English and
French) is intended to act as a reference for the scientific
community, policy-makers, and the general public to better
understand the importance and impacts of a changing ocean. <br>
<br>
The Summary is divided into four chapters, presenting the data of a
changing ocean from several angles. Chapters one, two, and three
present the state and key observations of a changing ocean, examine
the evolving impacts of these changes in line with climate change,
and discuss the importance of sustainable ocean governance for
managing impacts. The Summary concludes with chapter four which
highlights new tools developed using Copernicus Marine Service
products and illustrates how accurate and timely information is key
to monitoring, understanding, and adapting to a changing ocean. The
sections below highlight the key points discussed in each chapter.

ABOUT THE OCEAN STATE REPORT<br>
The Ocean State Report is an annual publication of the Copernicus
Marine Service and Mercator Ocean International [3] providing a
comprehensive, state-of-the-art report on the current state, natural
variations, and ongoing changes in the global ocean and European
regional seas. The goal of the Ocean State Report is to provide
reliable and scientifically-assured information, drawing on data
from the 1970s to present. The report is written by over 150
scientific experts from more than 30 European institutions. <br>
<br>
There is particular emphasis on European seas, as the Ocean State
Report is meant to act not only as a reference for a global
audience, but more directly for the activities of the European
Union. The full Ocean State Report (available here) is a supplement
of the Journal of Operational Oceanography (JOO) [4], an official
publication of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science &
Technology (IMarEST) [5], published by Taylor & Francis Group.

<i>[Talk about climate and global warming - Hayhoe in video ] </i><br>
<b>If climate change threatens us all, shouldn't everyone be talking
about it? "That's the only way revolutions ever start"</b><br>
OCTOBER 5, 2021 / CBS NEWS<br>
Climate change is a major global threat, but not yet a major topic
of kitchen table conversation. At the Dallas World Aquarium, CBS
News found most people just don't usually get into the conversation.<br>
<br>
"How often do you talk about climate change?" "CBS Mornings" co-host
Tony Dokoupil asked some visitors.<br>
<br>
"Have we once talked about climate? Maybe once or twice in our, you
know, seven-year relationship," Chris Glenn replied...<br>
- -<br>
Author Katharine Hayhoe said more than half of U.S. adults are
concerned about climate change, but only about a third of us ever
talk about it.<br>
<br>
Hayhoe is a prominent climate scientist at Texas Tech University who
studies not only the climate but the conversation around it.<br>
<br>
"I mean, if one more person tells you about a starving polar bear,
or a melting iceberg, or rising sea levels, you're just like, 'What
am I supposed to do? I'm just one person. I'm not, like, the
president, or CEO, or anything," said Hayhoe.<br>
<br>
Hayhoe argues the most important thing people can do is the one
thing so many have been avoiding—talking about it.<br>
<br>
"You think regular people can start a revolution on this by having
conversations in their community," Dokoupil asked.<br>
<br>
"I think that's the only way revolutions ever started," said Hayhoe.<br>
<br>
To see how Hayhoe does it without devolving into politics or
argument, CBS News started some conversations.<br>
<br>
"For me, I feel like this world ain't gonna survive long," Chantz
Beene said after being asked about the topic.<br>
<br>
"Did you know that 90 companies are responsible for two-thirds of
the whole global warming problem since the beginning of the
industrial era?" asked Hayhoe, who joined in the conversation.<br>
<br>
"I did not know that," Beene replied.<br>
<br>
Hayhoe was full of facts, yet her first move wasn't to lecture, but
to listen. She informed two people that 9,000,000 people die every
year of air pollution.<br>
<br>
When Hayhoe did jump in the conversation, it wasn't with global
data, but local issues.<br>
<br>
"We see changes in weather patterns, but they don't happen to happen
as close to home..." Glenn said.<br>
<br>
"Here's the thing. If we live in Texas, we're getting hit hardest of
any state. We get..." Hayhoe said.<br>
<br>
"Hurricanes," Glenn replied.<br>
<br>
"The Hurricanes, the floods, the heat, even the crazy winter storm
that we had... It was worse because of the Arctic warming so fast,"
added Hayhoe.<br>
<br>
In conversation after conversation, Hayhoe kept the focus on
solutions. She informed one person that Texas is number one in wind
energy.<br>
<br>
She also reminded people that while the challenges may seem
overwhelming, the country has a pretty good track record of getting
it right, eventually.<br>
<br>
After the conversation, Beene — who said earlier that the world was
potentially "doomed" — said that the first step to getting it
together is "talking about it."<br>
<br>
The conversation with Hayhoe even changed one person's view.<br>
<br>
"Has this conversation changed you in any way?" Dokoupil asked.<br>
<br>
"Yeah, I mean, I would, I'd be more vocal to it. I'd want to spread
the awareness," one person said. <br>

<i>[video discussion - how less nuke, can mean more carbon into the
air ] <br>
</i><b>Why nuclear plants are shutting down</b><br>
Oct 1, 2021<br>
Vox<br>
The nuclear power dilemma, explained.<br>
<br>
The infamous Indian Point nuclear plant, located roughly 30 miles
north of Manhattan, shut down earlier this year. To some, the
shutdown was a victory following decades of protests about safety
and environmental concerns. Here’s the problem: When operating,
Indian Point provided more electricity than is produced annually by
all solar and wind in New York state. And Indian Point is not the
only plant closing. Cleo Abram explores why so many nuclear plants
are shutting down - by taking a closer look at Indian Point.<br>

<i>[ in Italy] <br>
</i><b>34 inches of rain in 24 hours breaks continental record</b><br>
By Mary Gilbert, AccuWeather meteorologist<br>
<br>
Updated Oct. 6, 2021 <br>
Parts of northern Italy are recovering from a historic deluge
earlier this week that produced a new continent-wide record for
rainfall over a 12-hour period and left one city with nearly a
year's worth of rainfall in one day.<br>
<br>
Rossiglione, Italy, located in the Genoa province, found itself in
the absolute worst of Monday's extreme rainfall. The city ended up
with a mind-boggling 34.8 inches (883.8 mm) of rainfall over the
course of 24 hours.<br>
<br>
The annual rainfall total for the nearby city of Genoa itself tops
out at just over 42 inches, which is fairly representative for the
region at large, according to AccuWeather forecasters. This means
that Rossiglione recorded 82.9 percent of the average rainfall that
falls over the course of an entire year in the region in just 24
hours.<br>
<br>
In order to record rainfall totals that extreme, rainfall rates have
to be extraordinary, perhaps even record-breaking.<br>
<br>
In 12 hours, from 5:40 a.m. to 5:40 p.m. local time, the city
recorded a staggering 29.2 inches (740.6 mm), which broke the record
for the European continent, according to climatologist Maximiliano
Herrera.<br>
<br>
"That's ridiculous rainfall," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Adam
Douty said...<br>

<br>
"I believe that we will be better off if we protect this
