<b>As Manchin Blocks Climate Plan, His State Can’t Hold Back Floods</b><br>
As the senator thwarts Democrats’ major push to reduce warming, new
data shows West Virginia is more exposed to worsening floods than
anywhere else in the country.<br>
By Christopher Flavelle - Oct. 17, 2021<br>
FARMINGTON, W.Va. — In Senator Joe Manchin’s hometown, a flood-prone
hamlet of about 200 homes that hugs a curve on a shallow creek, the
rain is getting worse.<br>
<br>
Those storms swell the river, called Buffalo Creek, inundating homes
along its banks. They burst the streams that spill down the hills on
either side of this former coal-mining town, pushing water into
basements. They saturate the ground, seeping into Farmington’s aging
pipes and overwhelming its sewage treatment system.<br>
<br>
Climate change is warming the air, allowing it to hold more
moisture, which causes more frequent and intense rainfall. And no
state in the contiguous United States is more exposed to flood
damage than West Virginia, according to data released last week.<br>
<br>
From the porch of his riverfront house, Jim Hall, who is married to
Mr. Manchin’s cousin, recounted how rescue workers got him and his
wife out of their house with a rope during a flood in 2017. He
described helping his neighbors, Mr. Manchin’s sister and
brother-in-law, clear out their basement when a storm would come. He
calls local officials when he smells raw sewage in the river.<br>
<br>
“These last few years here in West Virginia, we’ve had unbelievable
amounts of rain,” Mr. Hall said. “We’ve seriously considered not
staying.”..<br>
- -<br>
“Nobody wants to talk about the real driving factor here, which is
the climate,” Mr. Baldwin said.<br>
<br>
As flooding gets worse, West Virginia’s leaders, including Mr.
Manchin, should stop viewing the state’s identity as tied to coal,
said Jamie Shinn, a geography professor at West Virginia University
who focuses on adapting to climate change.<br>
<br>
“I don’t think he’s defending the future economy and viability of
this state,” Dr. Shinn said. “The state has so much potential beyond
fossil fuels.”<br>

<b>Joe Manchin won’t support a key climate program. Alternatives
won’t be enough.</b><br>
The clean electricity program is “the backbone of the energy
transition,” experts say.<br>
By Ellen Ioanes Oct 16, 2021<br>
A key climate policy designed to phase out fossil fuels will likely
be cut from Democrats’ upcoming reconciliation package due to
opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who has reportedly refused
to back the measure as negotiations over the budget bill continue.<br>
<br>
According to the New York Times’ Coral Davenport, who first reported
the news on Friday, Manchin, who chairs the Senate Energy and
Natural Resources committee, will not support the sweeping clean
electricity program that is widely seen as the centerpiece of the
bill’s climate plan.<br>
<br>
The $150 billion program — officially known as the Clean Electricity
Performance Program or CEPP — would reward energy suppliers who
switch from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas to sustainable
power sources like solar, wind, and nuclear power, which are already
in use by about 40 percent of the industry, and fine those who do
not.<br>
<br>
Experts believe the program is the most effective way to slash US
carbon emissions significantly enough to prevent the global
temperature from rising by 1.5 degrees Celsius, a threshold which
would have drastic consequences for the planet if exceeded.<br>
A clean electricity standard, Leah Stokes, a climate policy expert
at the University of California Santa Barbara, told the New York
Times on Friday, “is absolutely the most important climate policy in
the package. We fundamentally need it to meet our climate goals.
That’s just the reality. And now we can’t. So this is pretty sad.”<br>
<br>
Manchin’s rejection of the energy plan is the latest challenge to
the beleaguered reconciliation package — also called the Build Back
Better Act — which is now likely to be pared down in response to
demands from moderate Democrats like Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema
of Arizona, who have said they oppose the $3.5 trillion in spending
called for in the original plan for the bill...<br>
- -<br>
Manchin’s home state of West Virginia is one of the largest
producers of coal in the US, and Manchin himself benefits
financially from the coal industry.<br>
- -<br>
if Congress can get serious about climate change, other countries
are likely to follow suit. But a lack of progress would slow forward
momentum all around.<br>
<br>
“There is this sense of exhaustion about how long is it going to
take for one of the biggest emitters in the world to do its fair
share,” Cleetus said<br>

<b>The myth of the climate moderate</b><br>
“There isn’t a middle ground between a livable and unlivable world.”<br>
By Rebecca Leber @rebleberrebecca.leber@vox.com Oct 16, 2021<br>
<br>
After months of discussion and debate, Democrats are at an impasse
on a raft of infrastructure legislation that could make or break
President Joe Biden’s effort to fight climate change. The rift, as
it’s framed in countless news stories, is between progressives who
want an ambitious social and climate spending bill and moderates who
have protested the price tag.<br>
<br>
But there’s a problem with portraying these disagreements as a
conflict between moderates and progressives. This picture leaves out
the unarguable scientific reality that pollution is warming the
planet at an unsustainable and dangerous rate. There is nothing
moderate or debatable about the catastrophic changes that global
emissions are wreaking on the climate. In August, a panel of United
Nations climate scientists called it “unequivocal” that humans have
warmed Earth’s skies, waters, and lands.<br>
- -<br>
“People don’t know what ‘moderate’ even means, particularly around
climate change,” Celinda Lake, a Democratic strategist, told Vox. “I
mean, you’re flooded two feet instead of four?”<br>
<br>
A traditional left-right spectrum doesn’t capture widespread
consensus about climate change<br>
Let’s consider what “middle ground” climate action might mean in
practice. The planet faces rampant warming unless the entire world
takes aggressive action this decade. Only if countries make big and
rapid investments to help clean energy replace fossil fuels will it
be possible to limit warming to less disastrous levels.<br>
<br>
Splitting the difference between doing nothing and doing everything
in our power, in other words, does not halt the crisis. This
“moderate” path leads us somewhere between devastating warming and
catastrophic warming.<br>
<br>
Supporters of modest climate action are ignoring the magnitude of
the problem, argued Ryan Fitzpatrick, director of the Climate and
Energy Program at Third Way, a group that says it promotes
center-left policies. “If you don’t publicly acknowledge the
severity of the impact of climate change, then why would we expect
any of your policy conditions or solutions to be based in
rationality?” Fitzpatrick asked.<br>
<br>
If you accept the findings of climate scientists, he added, “you
understand the level of ambition that’s needed to solve the
problem.”<br>
Research suggests that the so-called moderates in Congress don’t
represent the median US opinion about climate change. Anthony
Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Program on Climate Communication,
has spent his career using polling to find out what the public
actually thinks about climate. When he’s looked at the political
differences between self-identifying conservative, moderate, and
liberal voters, he finds there’s more agreement than you might hear
in the halls of Congress.<br>
<br>
“The pattern that really jumps out to you is that there’s one group
that’s really not like the others,” Leiserowitz said, “and that’s
conservative Republicans.” This group made up less than a quarter of
those sampled. Most of the US voters who are doubtful or dismissive
of climate change are politically conservative, and most are
Republicans, his research has shown.<br>
<br>
When he ropes off the conservative Republicans as outliers,
Leiserowitz finds a surprising amount of agreement on some core
principles, such as support for clean energy. In Yale’s December
2020 national sample of 1,036 Americans, a large majority of
Democrats and moderate Republicans supported generating renewable
energy on public land. The supporters included 94 percent of the
liberal Democrats in the survey, 76 percent of the liberal and
moderate Republicans, and 59 percent of conservative Democrats.<br>
<br>
There’s also surprising agreement about the importance of
transitioning off fossil fuels. The survey estimated that more than
8 in 10 Democrats across the spectrum support a transition to clean
energy, and so did 59 percent of self-identified moderate and
liberal Republicans.<br>
<br>
“These are relatively minor differences,” Leiserowitz told Vox. In
fact, he said, there’s more agreement than disagreement on many
policies related to climate change, with the specific exception of
conservative Republicans.<br>
Climate downplayers and deniers, however, have an elevated role in
politics and arguably skew the public understanding of the consensus
position. While some Republicans are gradually coming around to the
idea of climate action, the top GOP senator, Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky, led a Republican Senate majority that ignored the issue
for nearly a decade. “We can debate this forever,” he said in 2014,
ignoring the scientific consensus. And when Biden reentered the
Paris climate agreement this year, a group of Republican senators
attempted to override his order.<br>
<br>
This helps explain how the future of US climate policy has landed in
the hands of Sen. Manchin, a longtime coal businessman who continues
to receive campaign funding from the fossil fuel industry and
advocate for fossil fuel interests. Before he was labeled a
moderate, the press called Manchin a conservative Democrat; he has
very different goals than Sinema, the other senator widely called a
moderate in the news these days. Sinema hails from one of the
leading states in the solar industry and has publicly argued for
robust climate spending in the infrastructure bill. (She has
disputed reports that she wants to see $100 billion in climate funds
cut from the spending bill.)<br>
<br>
As Ezra Klein wrote about the myth of the middle in a 2015 Vox
story, “The idea of the moderate middle is bullshit: it’s a
rhetorical device meant to marginalize some policy positions at the
expense of others.” This is what’s happening to climate policy, too.<br>
<br>
What should replace the myth of the climate moderate?<br>
The time to take a moderate approach to climate has passed, argued
Dana Johnson, who leads federal policy office of WE ACT for
Environmental Justice, a climate advocacy group. “If we would have
done this 20, 40, 60 years ago, perhaps we could take a moderate
approach,” Johnson said. “The moment right now called for us to go
big, and to be bold, if we’re going to achieve any kind of
meaningful change.”<br>
<br>
She’s not the only one. “Perhaps the most politically difficult
aspect of climate change is that, after decades of denial and delay,
there is no longer any coherent ‘moderate’ position to be had,”
energy writer David Roberts wrote in his newsletter.<br>
<br>
At the New Republic, Kate Aronoff has argued that lawmakers who
undermine climate legislation are actually extremists: “No one
should call them moderates, or even centrists. They’re extremists.
If they have their way, they’re going to get a lot of people
killed.”<br>
<br>
Instead, it’s time to judge politicians on the level of their
ambition, and the extent to which they prioritize the planet’s
climate. Leaders who aren’t ready to accelerate a transition to
clean energy, and publicly recognize that fossil fuels cannot be the
dominant fuel of the future, effectively support a dangerous status
quo. Politicians who block climate action are more or less on the
same side as fossil fuels.<br>
Some climate policies genuinely divide Democrats, such as
investments in nuclear power and carbon-capture technology. Many
progressive environmentalists are skeptical of both.<br>
<br>
A new framing for the politics of climate change would not ignore
these policy debates. It’s possible to agree about the reality and
urgency of climate change while disagreeing about the best
strategies to stop it.<br>
<br>
Climate change may still become an important electoral issue, as
younger voters who care more about these policies start to vote in
greater numbers. “Turnout is going to impact a lot of what happens
in the midterms,” said Lake, the Democratic strategist. “And in the
2024 election, the younger voters are going to be bigger than the
baby boomers for the first time.”<br>
<br>
Republicans may be reacting to these electoral pressures. “You have
a lot of Republicans who have embraced a tax credit that promotes
emissions reductions and clean energy sources,” Carlos Curbelo, a
Republican former Congress member who introduced climate legislation
in the House, told Vox. “It’s a departure from the Republican Party
of just a few years ago, where the most common element ... was
apathy.”<br>
<br>
When it comes to climate change, Republicans and Democrats can be
judged by the same standard. “It comes down to whether or not you
acknowledge the well-established fact that climate change is going
to cause severe damage, particularly if we don’t meet these
emissions goals,” said Fitzpatrick of Third Way. “Whether you call
yourself a progressive or a moderate, if you’re serious about
climate, we all have to be aiming to accomplish the same thing. And
getting that means getting to net-zero emissions by 2050.”<br>

<b>Climate Change: what are the implications on our mental health
and wellbeing?</b><br>
by Rhiannon Hawkins - 11/10/2021 <br>
<br>
Since the actions of Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg taking to
the streets on a school strike against climate change in 2018,
young people (aged 16-25) have become more aware and willing to
act about environmental degradation affecting our planet. However,
this is causing increased distress amongst young people due to the
lack of action taken by international governments and corporations
in tackling climate change. This is known as Eco Distress. So,
what is Eco Distress?<br>
<br>
As defined by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, Eco Distress is
experienced when people hear about or witness events which are
causing the environment and our planet damage (Usher et al.,
2019). This may trigger feelings of anxiousness, fear, anger, and
desperation (Usher et al., 2019). If you are feeling like this, it
is ENTIRELY NORMAL as Eco Distress is not an illness or disease
but shows that you care about the planet and its future!<br>
<br>
As Greta Thunberg says:<br>
“If you feel bad so many people are feeling so sad and depressed
but that’s a good thing as they still have empathy, they don’t
want to live in this world where they have lost everything.”<br>
<br>
There are many young people across the globe who are also feeling
the same way, so if you’re feeling like this you are not alone, if
it helps, I feel like this too.<br>
<br>
Psychiatrists and researchers have been investigating the impact
of climate change and environmental degradation on young people’s
mental health. The most recent and global study surrounding Eco
Distress is led by Professor Caroline Hickman and her team from
the University of Bath.<br>
<br>
The study results indicate that 83% of respondents believe that
people have failed to do enough to protect the planet and 75%
believe that the future is frightening (Hickman et al., 2021).
This shows that Eco Distress and anxiety surrounding climate
change is believed to be widespread across the globe and having
knock-on impacts for future generations living on this planet.<br>
<br>
These statistics are also shown to be the tip of the iceberg, with
many climate activists experiencing anxiety and Eco Distress are
going on to experience ecological burnout. This can often be the
case with activists becoming traumatized through reading and
acting against climate change so intensively (Pihkala, 2019).
Therefore, the lack of action by institutions and witnessing so
many incidents of environmental degradation can cause psychiatric
symptoms associated with experiencing events of serious trauma,
such as compassion fatigue (Pihkala, 2019). <br>
<br>
Environmental conditions caused by climate change and climate
related trauma during childhood can also cause considerable damage
to our brain function. This can lead to further risk of developing
other psychiatric disorders. For example, exposure to high levels
of air pollution means when we breathe ultrafine toxic
particulates, they are transported from the nasal cavity via nerve
endings to the brain (Van Susteren & Al-Delaimy, 2020). This
causes neuro-inflammation therefore, putting millions at risk of
depression, bipolar and schizophrenia (Van Susteren &
Al-Delaimy, 2020). <br>
<br>
However, despite the physical implications of climate change on
our mental health there are many things which can be done to help
prevent anxiety surrounding climate change from affecting your
day-to-day life.<br>
<br>
Here are some top tips which I recommend:<br>
Stay informed about climate related issues – these might help and
explain why these feelings of distress are happening. However, do
not over consume yourself with information as it could perpetuate
the distress.<br>
Learn to understand and deal with the emotions which you are
experiencing – remember this is an entirely normal reaction as you
care about the planet and its future. Therefore, engaging with the
natural environment, looking after your mental health and talk to
others about this may help alleviate the distress you’re feeling.<br>
Take action no matter how small – it is important to consider that
climate change is everyone’s problem and it’s not your fault it is
happening. So meeting others who feel the same way via Oxford
societies etc. will help. Endeavors give us control and make us
feel better about climate change. Potential gestures include,
producing less waste, using reusable products, and eating less
meat. <br>

<font size="+1"><b>On this day in the history of global warming
October 18, 1983</b></font><br>
<br>
October 18, 1983: In what would be one of her last "News Digest"
broadcasts, NBC anchor Jessica Savitch mentions a recently released
EPA report on the consequences of carbon pollution.<br>
<blockquote>While cleaning out my office the other day, I found a
yellowed newspaper clipping with the headline, "Greenhouse effect
viewed with alarm." The article was dated Oct. 18, 1983. Check
it out below the fold:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>WASHINGTON (AP) -- A potentially catastrophic
warming of the Earth will start in the 1990s, disrupting food
production and raising coastal waters as the polar icecaps melt,
the federal government said in a report released today.<br>
<br>
The study by the Environmental Protection Agency said the
climatic changes from the so-called “greenhouse effect” are
unavoidable and warned that the United States and other
countries must begin searching now for ways to mitigate the
impact.<br>
<br>
The report, titled “Can We Delay a Greenhouse Warming?”
concluded that even as drastic and unlikely a step as a total
ban on coal burning would delay by only 15 years a 3.6 degree
increase in average worldwide temperatures.<br>
<br>
While other government studies have warned that the greenhouse
effect was a potential problem, the EPA report is the first to
state with certainty that the warming will occur no matter what.<br>
<br>
The EPA study is based on earlier projections by the National
Academy of Sciences that a doubling of carbon dioxide in the air
– which could occur by the middle of the next century – would
raise present world temperatures within a range of 2.7 degrees
to 8.1 degrees Fahrenheit.<br>
<br>
This result is known as the greenhouse effect because carbon
dioxide acts like the glass in a greenhouse allowing the sun’s
warming rays to reach earth but not allowing the heat to escape.<br>
