<i>[Variety report - a media battleground]</i><br>
<b>Fox News Launches Streaming Weather Service for Climate-Change
Cycle</b><br>
- -<br>
<blockquote>Fox is betting it can become a go-to resource for
weather aficionados. One feature on the new app lets users keep
tabs on how weather conditions are shaping up at coming events,
like a daughter’s wedding, a trip to the Bahamas or a college
reunion. Users will be able to tap 3-D radar to examine weather
patterns and get alerts that inform them about 42 different
weather elements that might harm people or property. Other
services make users go to a website or behind a paywall for a
14-day forecast, Berg says. Fox Weather makes the next two weeks
of weather projections available to all.<br>
<br>
At the heart of the venture is the very personal connection
consumers develop with their weather providers. Herrera, who will
serve as an anchor during Fox Weather’s live-streamed programming,
remembers times when he’d cancel a planned shopping trip to avoid
people after he missed a forecast and the rain he said would
arrive didn’t, or showed up hours later. “It’s important to own
it. ‘I said this was going to happen. It didn’t. Let me tell you
why it didn’t,’” he says. In a time of great change for the media
industry, a different type of forecaster will have to examine
whether Fox Weather can prevail amid shifting patterns.<br>

<b>Climate change: Why Australia refuses to give up coal</b><br>
By Frances Mao<br>
BBC News, Sydney<br>
In a world racing to reduce pollution, Australia is a stark
outlier...Australia has 99 operating coal mines...<br>
- -<br>
And instead of phasing out coal - the worst fossil fuel - it's
committed to digging for more.<br>
<br>
So it's no surprise that Australia is being viewed as a "bad guy"
going into the COP26 global climate talks in Glasgow, analysts
say...<br>
- -<br>
Instead it's provided extra support to coal. This includes:<br>
<blockquote>-- Approving new mines and extensions: There are over 80
proposed projects including plant upgrades<br>
--Tax subsidies: About A$10bn went to fossil fuel companies last
year alone<br>
-- 'Clean coal' investments: Schemes..<br>
</blockquote>
Australia argues coal will continue to generate national wealth for
decades to come.<br>
<br>
It talks up demand in Asia, particularly from industrialising
economies.<br>
<br>
China and India alone account for 64% of global coal consumption.
Demand in Indonesia and Vietnam has also surged.<br>
<br>
But analysts say there's no long-term market as countries race to
meet emissions goals.<br>
- -<br>
Advocates say coal workers could instead mine for the rare minerals
needed for batteries and magnets that will power renewable energy
grids.<br>
- -<br>
It has also withdrawn from the UN's Green Climate Fund, and tried to
change one local fund's mandate so taxpayer money could go to coal
projects instead.<br>
<br>
"The rest of the world is accelerating past coal," says the Climate
Council, a group of scientists.<br>
<br>
"Australia can either choose to reap the opportunities of this
transition, or be left poorer and less secure."<br>

[ video review of the IPCC report ]<br>
<b>Why you NEED to read the 2021 IPCC report on climate change</b><br>
Sep 6, 2021<br>
Saving Green<br>
The IPCC or Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently
published the 6th report on the physical science of climate change,
or Assessment Report 6 (AR6). Why should we care? How does the
IPCC conduct its research? Can we trust this report? How scared
should we really be? <br>
Let's find out...<br>
<blockquote>TIMELINE: <br>
0:00 start/intro<br>
1:08 What is the IPCC?<br>
4:03 What are assessment cycles?<br>
5:31 What's included in the report? <br>
6:22 What's new from previous reports?<br>
8:31 What is calibrated language? <br>
12:05 What's the bottom line? <br>
14:16 What's the next step? <br>

<b>‘Climate crisis’ has made it into the Oxford English Dictionary</b><br>
The eco-lexicon got a major update just in time for the Glasgow
summit.<br>
- -<br>
In a special update this month, the Oxford English Dictionary
reviewed the scope of this “rapidly changing area of vocabulary”
encompassing words and phrases like eco-anxiety, net-zero, and
climate strikes. The dictionary’s editors updated old entries and
added new ones ahead of the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland
next week, where world leaders will meet to hash out their climate
pledges. Among the new entrants: global heating, food insecurity,
and climate crisis.<br>
<br>
The update reflects the urgency and the often complicated emotions
that people feel when confronted by rising seas, worsening floods,
and hotter temperatures. The editors picked eco-anxiety —
“apprehension about current and future harm to the environment” — to
make its dictionary debut, a signal of climate change’s
psychological toll. According to Google Trends, search interest for
climate anxiety has gone up 565 percent over the past year.<br>
<br>
Even the name for climate change itself has undergone some
adjustment as people have begun to use more intense language to
describe what they see happening. The phrase climate crisis, which
appeared in the dictionary for the first time this month, became 20
times more popular from 2018 to 2020, and climate emergency
increased 76 times, the OED found. The phrase greenhouse effect,
popular back in the ’90s, has dropped by the wayside; the
once-common global warming has also gradually fallen out of favor...<br>
- -<br>
In what might cause a chemistry class flashback for some, the OED
decided that CO2 — aka carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas
heating up the planet — merited its own entry, since people have
started to throw it around in the same casual way they talk about
H2O.<br>

Dr. Julie Gerberding of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention addresses a US Senate committee regarding the health
risks of climate change. Her testimony was extensively edited by the
Bush White House to dramatically downplay the severity of the risks.
