<b>Gov. Inslee meets with West Coast leaders on climate change</b><br>
Oct 7, 2022, <br>
BY KIRO NEWSRADIO NEWSDESK<br>
Friday, Oct. 7.<br>
Governor Jay Inslee gathered with leaders from California, Oregon,
and British Columbia to sign a new agreement to fight climate
change.<br>
<br>
The initiative promotes investments in climate infrastructure like
electric vehicle charging stations and a clean electric grid.<br>
<br>
According to the Governor’s website, the initiative will also have a
major focus on equity, ensuring all communities are able to
transition to a low-carbon future.<br>
<br>
“We have watched, we have smelled, we have suffered through the
smoke. We understand what it is doing to our communities, to our
children, and to our economy,” Inslee said.<br>
<br>
Governor Inslee says that a commitment to greener jobs and lowering
carbon usage will help future generations in our state.<br>
<br>
Low water levels close salmon season early<br>
Historically low water levels have prompted Washington state
wildlife officials to end the salmon and game fishing season early
this year for many rivers and streams.<br>
<br>
Officials say there have been such low water flows, that many fish
have been unable to get to their spawning grounds, with about 50
rivers and streams affected.<br>
<br>
So, there will be no salmon and game fishing as of Saturday, Oct. 8,
and it will stay closed for the foreseeable future.<br>
<br>
You can go to the Fish and Wildlife Department’s website for
specifics.<br>

<b>Aerial Images Show Alarming Extent of Hurricane Ian's Devastation
in Florida</b><br>
A massive storm surge, 150+ mph winds, and inundating rain have
reshaped parts of coastal southwestern Florida.<br>
ByLauren Leffer<br>
October 6, 2022<br>
Hurricane Ian tore across Florida last week, killing at least 105
people in the state and leaving destruction in its wake. Hundreds of
thousands of households remain without electricity, and multiple
counties are under boil water notices after the storm damaged
crucial infrastructure.<br>
In an attempt to understand the full scope of Ian’s impact, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration collected aerial
imagery of many of the hardest hit areas. NOAA has previously done
the same following other severe storms, like Hurricane Ida in 2021.
Side by side, the aerial photos compared with satellite imagery
captured before the storm illustrate the true extent of the
destruction...<br>

intercity train corridors.<br>
<br>
Metrolink and Amtrak, working with the Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA), suspended all passenger service in late September
between Mission Viejo and Oceanside for safety reasons. Freight
service has been reduced to just one slow-moving train per day.<br>
<br>
Over the last year, the tracks just south of San Clemente State
Beach have been pushed nearly 2 ½-feet outward — toward the crashing
waves — by an old landslide that has reactivated.<br>
<br>
On the coastal side, what used to be 40-50 yards of sandy beach
between the waves and the train tracks has disappeared into the

<i>[ Good information for investors, journalists, activists, those
of us walking on sand ]</i><br>
<b>The Global Registry of Fossil Fuels</b><br>
The Global Registry is the first open-source database of oil, gas
and coal production and reserves globally, expressed in
CO2-equivalent. By increasing transparency and accountability around
fossil fuel production, the Registry aims to improve understanding
of extraction impacts on the remaining carbon budget and ultimately
to inform its management by decision makers.<br>
<br>
Countries around the world are projected to produce more than twice
the fossil fuels consistent with 1.5°C by 2030. It is clear that
addressing the climate crisis requires managing the supply of fossil
fuels, alongside demand-side measures, and that this needs to be
done fairly and equitably. The Global Registry of Fossil Fuels is
therefore the first the first-ever comprehensive, independent,
policy neutral and fully open-source database that demonstrates the
scale of CO2 emissions associated with each country's national
reserves and production, thus enabling policy-makers, investors and
others to make informed decisions to align fossil fuel production
with 1.5°C, and equipping researchers with the data needed to
provide timely analysis...<br>
<b>Who is it for</b><br>
The Global Registry of Fossil Fuels is designed to be a tool to
support policymakers and investors in making sensible, 1.5°C-aligned
decisions around future fossil fuel production. The Registry
therefore focuses on tracking fossil fuel production by country and
by project.<br>
<br>
The Registry is also expected to be a useful tool for researchers
and non-profit organisations in providing the foundation for
rigorous analysis on how the world is tracking towards the goal of
1.5°C, and where production is occurring.<br>

<i>[ DW documentary on feces, urine and new toilet technology -
video ]</i><br>
<b>The great toilet battle - Does Bill Gates have a solution? | DW
Documentary</b><br>
11,871 views Oct 7, 2022 A toilet revolution is set to bring
much-needed change when it comes to human waste. Each day, a single
person produces one liter of urine and 200 grams of feces. In many
places, feces is flushed down the toilet using around six liters of
water, generating millions of tons of waste.<br>
<br>
Globally, the issue presents major health and environmental
challenges, because this waste has to be processed and disposed of.
Reducing toilets’ immense water consumption is the focus of a good
deal of research. The goal is almost completely dry toilets.<br>
<br>
Bill Gates is among those concerned about the problem. The
philanthropist has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in new
technologies designed to be more efficient and ecological than
traditional flushing toilets. One central question in the research
is that of bad odors. Scientists have begun a global effort to
figure out how toilet stink can be decoded at the molecular level
and eliminated using science.<br>
<br>
Feces has a special composition that generates its unpleasant odor.
This in turn has a warning function, as drinking water contaminated
with feces can transmit cholera, hepatitis A and typhoid. These
diseases kill hundreds of thousands of children worldwide every
year.<br>
<br>
In India, open defecation is a major public health hazard. Prime
Minister Narendra Modi wants to put an end to this habit with the
"Swachh Bharat” or "Clean India” Mission. Basic sanitation has
become a political issue, and millions of dry toilets are planned
throughout the country. <br>
<br>
When it comes to dealing with human waste, the idea of recycling
crops up again and again. In times of water scarcity and more
conscious waste management, the possibilities of turning excrement
and urine into electricity or fertilizer are gaining importance.<br>

<blockquote><b>CO2 Could Change Our Climate and Flood the Earth—Up
to Here</b><br>
By MICHAEL J. WEISS October 08, 1979 12:00 PM<br>
If Gordon MacDonald is wrong, they’ll laugh, otherwise, they’ll
gurgle<br>
<br>
The scenario reads like an Irwin Allen disaster movie. Early in
the 21st century, carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere
thickens ominously. The CO2 admits sunlight but prevents escape of
heat from the planet’s surface, creating a situation known as the
“greenhouse effect.” Average temperatures increase, from 3 to
20°F, melting ice at the poles. Oceans rise everywhere by perhaps
20 feet, inundating coastal cities. Some 25 percent of the world’s
population must flee to higher ground. Food shortages follow. All
is chaos.<br>
<br>
Purveyor of this doomsday theory—the man Charlton Heston would
play in the movie—is Gordon MacDonald, 50, a geology and
environmental sciences professor at Dartmouth. Researchers have
long worried about the effects of carbon dioxide produced by
burning oil, gas and coal. MacDonald says the Carter
administration’s proposal to develop synthetic fuels by converting
coal into oil and gas involves a process that will dramatically
increase the CO2 level. With synfuels, atmospheric carbon dioxide
could double by 2020, MacDonald predicts. As a result, new
temperature patterns could begin to change the weather all over
the globe by 1990.<br>
<br>
“The Adirondacks and New England might not get snow,” he predicts.
“In Washington, summer highs will jump from the 90s to the 100s.
Some leafy plants like corn and sugar beets will benefit from
increased photosynthesis, but you’ll see a 30- to 40-percent drop
in wheat production. That’s because the latitudes suitable for
wheat will move north, where the land lacks nutrients to support
intensive agriculture.”<br>
<br>
MacDonald has taken his concern to Congress as well as to the
scientific community, and he has credentials in both. At 32, he
was one of the youngest members ever elected to the National
Academy of Sciences in 1962. His résumé lists 134 published
articles, plus 10 major lecture series. He has also been an
adviser to Presidents Eisenhower (on space exploration), Kennedy
(weather), Johnson (ocean pollution), Nixon (coal), Ford
(technology exchange) and Carter (national security). “Nixon,”
MacDonald remembers, “would say he had three summa cum laudes from
the Harvard class of 1950: Jim Schlesinger, Henry Kissinger and
me.” (At the National Academy of Sciences in 1963 MacDonald first
ran across statistics relating climate to CO2; since the late
1950s carbon dioxide is up to 10 percent in the atmosphere, but
because the ocean is still absorbing it, no real temperature
changes have occurred.)<br>
<br>
The greenhouse theory continues to be the subject of heated
debate. Some scientists contend the oceans will never become so
saturated with CO2 that the climate is affected. Dan Dreyfus,
staff director of the Senate Energy Committee, dismisses
MacDonald’s fears by more or less dismissing him. “He’s a
generalist,” Dreyfus says. “Carbon dioxide is not the only thing
he’s interested in, and it’s a very complicated geophysical
problem. I don’t think anyone can definitely say what effect
increased CO2 will have on the climate.” Yet in July, when
MacDonald and other scientists reported on CO2 to the President’s
Council on Environmental Quality, the council called it “an
extremely important, perhaps historic, statement.”<br>
<br>
As an alternative to synthetic fuels, MacDonald suggests a mix of
solar energy, fusion, natural gas and biomass (mostly
alcohol-based fuels made from converting trees, sugarcane and
other plants). He prefers natural gas, which produces little
carbon dioxide. He’s lobbying for it while on leave from Dartmouth
to work as chief scientist at the MITRE Corporation, a
goverment-funded Washington think tank.<br>
<br>
MacDonald grew up in Mexico City, the son of a British mining
executive and an American embassy clerk. He became a U.S. citizen
in 1955 and taught at UCLA and California (Santa Barbara) before
moving to Dartmouth in 1972. His first marriage ended in divorce.
He has three children by his second wife, who died of cancer; he
has a son with his third wife.<br>
<br>
With CO2, MacDonald is of course presenting the worst case
scenario with great flair. “He isn’t the usual ass-covering
bureaucrat,” an Energy Committee staffer marveled after MacDonald
testified against the Carter synfuel proposal. “He provided quite
a show.” MacDonald realizes that if he is wrong, his warnings will
sound ridiculous. If not, world catastrophe will result—”not 200
years from now but within our lifetime.”<br>
