<b>California approves desalination plant as historic drought hits
water supplies</b><br>
OCT 14 2022<br>
KEY POINTS<br>
<blockquote>-- California regulators this week approved a $140
million desalination plant that could convert up to 5 million
gallons of seawater each day into drinking water.<br>
<br>
-- The approval of the plant comes as record temperatures and
drought conditions have forced states like California to address a
future with dwindling water supplies.<br>
<br>
-- The Doheny Ocean Desalination Project in Orange County,
Southern California could be functioning within the next five
years and supply water for thousands of people in the South Coast
Water District...<br>
</blockquote>
- -<br>
There are 12 existing desalination facilities throughout California,
according to the state’s Water Resources Control Board, including
the Carlsbad desalination project in San Diego County, which is the
largest desalination plant in the western hemisphere and produces
three million gallons of drinking water each day.<br>

<b>Study: Climate anxiety is spreading all over the planet</b><br>
The broadest look yet shows it's not just a Western worry<br>
By KATE YODER<br>
OCTOBER 18, 2022 <br>
If you're feeling anxious about climate change, the common wisdom
goes, there's an antidote: Take action. Maybe you can alleviate your
worries by doing something positive, like going to a protest,
becoming an advocate for mass transit, or trying to get an
environmental champion elected.<br>
<br>
New research reveals that these anxieties are not just Western
concerns — they're common among young people on nearly every
continent — but that the ability to do something about them depends
on where you live. "The question is whether you have the opportunity
or not to engage in those behaviors," said Charles Ogunbode, a
psychologist at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom.<br>
<br>
The study, recently published in the Journal of Environmental
Psychology, takes the broadest look yet at climate anxiety around
the globe. Ogunbode and researchers all over the world surveyed more
than 10,000 university students in 32 countries, asking how climate
change made them feel. They found that it was hurting people's
mental health virtually everywhere, from Brazil to Uganda, Portugal
to the Philippines. ..<br>

<b>Abstract</b><br>
<blockquote>This study explored the correlates of climate anxiety in
a diverse range of national contexts. We analysed cross-sectional
data gathered in 32 countries (N = 12,246). Our results show that
climate anxiety is positively related to rate of exposure to
information about climate change impacts, the amount of attention
people pay to climate change information, and perceived
descriptive norms about emotional responding to climate change.
Climate anxiety was also positively linked to pro-environmental
behaviours and negatively linked to mental wellbeing. Notably,
climate anxiety had a significant inverse association with mental
wellbeing in 31 out of 32 countries. In contrast, it had a
significant association with pro-environmental behaviour in 24
countries, and with environmental activism in 12 countries. Our
findings highlight contextual boundaries to engagement in
environmental action as an antidote to climate anxiety, and the
broad international significance of considering negative
climate-related emotions as a plausible threat to wellbeing.<br>

<b>Utah's Great Salt Lake shrinks to unsustainable levels amid a

924 views Oct 18, 2022 The Great Salt Lake in Utah is the largest
body of water in the western hemisphere without an outlet to the
sea. Its levels fluctuate naturally, but scientists say the
record-low water levels the lake has seen in recent years are
worrying. A megadrought means less precipitation, and a growing
population is taking more water before the lake can refill.

<b>Starved of new talent: Young people are steering clear of oil
jobs</b><br>
Who wants to work for the brands that brought you climate change?<br>
Kate Yoder Staff Writer Grist<br>
Oct 18, 2022<br>
- -<br>
“I do feel that there’s this big pincer movement coming for the
fossil fuel industry — you know, they’re going to be pinched in lots
of different directions,” said Caroline Dennett, a safety consultant
who publicly quit working for Shell earlier this year because the
company was expanding oil and gas extraction projects. “And that’s
exactly what we need.”<br>
<br>
‘Retention is a massive, massive problem’<br>
If it weren’t for climate change, now might seem like the perfect
time to drill for more oil. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent oil
prices soaring this year, driving them up as high as $120 a barrel
in June — the “boom” of the boom and bust cycle. The price has since
dropped to $85, but could climb higher since OPEC, the oil cartel
that includes Russia and Saudi Arabia, recently agreed to cut
production by 2 million barrels a day. <br>
<br>
With prices this high, oil companies would normally begin digging up
more wells to increase production. But the calculus has changed.
After years of losses, investors want their dividends. “Now we’re in
a situation where the oil and gas companies are making a lot of cash
flow … but the investors who stuck with those companies are
basically saying, ‘Well, I stuck it out with you, give me my money
back,’” said Peter Tertzakian, an energy and investing analyst, on
the podcast Odd Lots this summer. Added to that is the growing
pressure for financial institutions to divest from fossil fuels. All
this, along with the “end of oil narrative,” has made investors
hesitant to back new drilling projects, Tertzakian explained.<br>
<br>
And even if investors were interested in expanding drilling right
away, many oil companies don’t have extra drilling equipment lying
around ready to use, or extra people ready to operate it. Trained
and knowledgeable workers are retiring or moving to other
industries. The average oil and gas worker is 44 years old, a recent
report from Deloitte found. The industry has mostly rehired the
15,000 workers it laid off during the 2020 crash, according to data
from the U.S. Bureau of Statistics. But the workforce numbers have
been on a long downward trend since 2015, when oil prices took a
plunge after a supply glut. The volatility of the industry — the
cycle of laying off and hiring people — is another factor that makes
the jobs unappealing, the Deloitte report said.<br>
<br>
“Half of oil and gas professionals, I believe, would gladly leave
the oil and gas industry tomorrow if they could get a renewable
energy job,” said Dar-Lon Chang, who worked as an engineer at
ExxonMobil for 16 years before resigning in 2019 over concerns about
climate change. A recent global survey by AirSwift found that 82
percent of current oil and gas workers would consider switching to
another energy sector in the next three years, up from 79 percent
last year and 73 percent in 2020. Fifty-four percent of those
thinking about leaving picked the renewable industry as a preferred
destination.<br>
<br>
“Retention is a massive, massive problem,” Dennett said. “They’re
losing their most expert, skilled, and experienced technicians,
engineers, designers, operators, mechanics … I think they will be
starved of new talent.”<br>
<br>
When Big Oil comes up in the news, it’s usually something bad — oil
spills, climate lawsuits, or other dirty business. The industry has
drawn comparisons to Big Tobacco, and this image has started to
affect workers. “We don’t want to be the bad guys,” said one
anonymous participant in a study surveying oil workers’ opinions
about climate change as part of a recent paper in the journal Energy
Research and Social Science. <br>
<br>
Krista Haltunnen, the author of that study and an energy researcher
at Imperial College London, said that many workers believe they can
drive change within their company. “A lot of them think that they’re
doing the best they can for climate change or for a better society,
whether they’re right or not,” Haltunnen said. Dennett, for example,
worked with Shell to make oil operations safer; Chang joined
ExxonMobil after assurances from recruiters that the company was
“seriously considering transitioning away from oil” and researching
cleaner alternatives, and that he’d be working with natural gas —
sold as the “bridge fuel” to a renewable future.<br>
<br>
Bernard Looney, the CEO of BP, has acknowledged that Big Oil’s
reputation is causing problems for companies like his. In an
interview with the Times of London in 2020, Looney said that oil was
becoming increasingly “socially challenged.” Employees at BP were
having doubts about their line of work, he said, and some job
candidates were reluctant to join the company. “There’s a view that
this is a bad industry, and I understand that,” Looney said at the
time.<br>
<br>
A ‘permanent black mark’<br>
The generation that’s been striking from school to protest
government inaction on climate change isn’t exactly itching to join
the oil workforce. A poll by the consulting firm EY in 2017 found
that 62 percent of 16- to 19-year-olds in the United States found a
career in oil and gas unappealing. More than two out of every three
teenagers surveyed said that the industry causes problems instead of
solving them. Young people tend to view oil careers as “unstable,
blue-collar, difficult, dangerous and harmful to society,” the
report said, perceptions that posed a “significant obstacle” toward
attracting and retaining a highly skilled workforce.<br>
<br>
And they’re making their qualms known. Last week, dozens of students
at Harvard, MIT, and Brown disrupted on-campus recruiting events for
ExxonMobil, protesting that the company was undermining their
future.<br>
<br>
College students are also steering clear of petroleum engineering
programs, creating a gap as oil companies look to replace retiring
Baby Boomers. Over the last five years, the number of people
graduating from petroleum engineering programs has dropped from
2,300 to around 400, an 83 percent plunge, according to statistics
from Lloyd Heinze, a Texas Tech University professor. Schools in
America’s oil patch, such as Louisiana State University and the
University of Houston, are seeing drastic declines in enrollment in
petroleum engineering, and others are beginning to shut down their
programs: The University of Calgary in Canada and Imperial College
London both pressed pause on their oil and gas engineering majors
last year.<br>
<br>
The trend extends from fieldwork to the front office. From 2006
until 2020, the number of business school graduates who went into a
career in the oil and gas industry fell by 40 percent, according to
a survey of 3.5 million MBA students conducted by LinkedIn, while
the number of students recruited into renewables rose.<br>

“The dilemma is happening in every company, because if you’re
involved in projects that you know are detrimental for the
environment,” what you do every single day may “test your moral
values,” said Manuel Salazar, an activist in Ireland who is working
to help employees push their companies to protect the environment.<br>
<br>
Oil companies require other services to stay running — and
advertisers and lawyers may get harder to come by as they turn their
backs on the industry. About 400 advertising and PR agencies have
signed a pledge by the group Clean Creatives to cut ties with fossil
fuel clients. And as oil companies face a mounting pile of
climate-related lawsuits, some young lawyers may be reluctant to
defend them. Two years ago, 600 lawyers in training signed a letter
to the firm Paul Weiss pledging that they would not work at the
company unless it dropped ExxonMobil as a client. (It has not.) An
anonymous law student graduating with student debt recently wrote in
to the New York Times’ ethics column to ask whether it was OK to
defend polluting companies they were “ethically opposed to” in order
to pay off their loans, worrying it could create a “permanent black
mark” on their record. <br>
<br>
Chang thinks that his decade-plus as an engineer at ExxonMobil has
gotten in the way of working in clean energy. He has applied for
hundreds of clean energy positions since 2015 but has only gotten a
few interviews. Eventually, he ended up creating his own job, a
startup that’s trying to get funding to renovate people’s homes to
get to net-zero emissions. <br>
<br>
“I think that people who go into renewable energy, they tend to be
suspicious of people who are trying to leave the oil and gas
industry,” Chang said. While there may be some “bad apples,” he
thinks the majority of oil and gas employees “are legitimately
trying to do the right thing” — and would leave if they could.<br>

<b>Amount of ocean heat found to be accelerating and fueling extreme
weather events</b><br>
The rate of warming in the top 2km has doubled from levels in the
1960s, review finds<br>
Graham Readfearn<br>
Tue 18 Oct 2022<br>
The amount of heat accumulating in the ocean is accelerating and
penetrating ever deeper, with widespread effects on extreme weather
events and marine life, according to a new scientific review.<br>
<br>
One of the report’s authors said the devastating floods in eastern
Australia had likely been made worse by warming oceans. The risks
would continue to rise as the ocean took up more heat, the report
said.<br>
<br>
More than 90% of the heat caused by adding greenhouse gases to the
atmosphere through burning fossil fuels is taken up by the ocean.<br>
<br>
The rate of warming in the top 2km has doubled from levels in the
1960s, the article in the journal Nature Reviews: Earth and
Environment said.<br>
According to the review the extra heat is accelerating sea level
rise, intensifying extreme rain events, melting ice, adding energy
to cyclones and changing where they form, and causing more intense
marine heatwaves.<br>
<br>
Marine habitats including coral reefs were being threatened and the
heating meant oceans were less able to take carbon out of the
atmosphere.<br>
Even under the most ambitious scenarios for action on greenhouse gas
emissions, the review said the ocean’s heating will at least double
from current levels by the end of the century.<br>
<br>
“Ocean warming is already causing flooding rains, melting ice and
rising sea levels, as well as damaging coral reefs and ecosystems,”
said Prof Matt England, a review co-author and oceanographer at the
University of New South Wales. “Without emissions reductions, this
is only going to get much worse.”...<br>
<br>
All ocean basins were getting hotter, but heating was most
pronounced in the southern ocean and the Atlantic, the review found.
From the 1990s, heating was also detected deeper than two
kilometres.<br>
<br>
Dr Kevin Trenberth, a co-author and distinguished scholar at the US
National Center for Atmospheric Research, said: “The best indicator
of the planet’s warming is the global ocean heat content...<br>
- -<br>
At current rates, Trenberth said, the amount of energy being added
to the ocean each year in the form of heat was equal to about 80
times the total global electricity generation.<br>
<br>
“Even if we get to net zero in 2050 the ocean heat content continues
to go up, and sea levels go up for a couple of centuries beyond
that,” he said.<br>
<br>
Prof David Schoeman, of the University of the Sunshine Coast, was
not involved in the review but was a co-ordinating lead author of
the oceans chapter in the most recent UN climate report.<br>
<br>
He said the review was broadly in line with previous UN assessments
but had reduced the uncertainties and likely ruled out the highest
and lowest predictions of changes in ocean heat.<br>
<br>
Schoeman said marine heatwaves, made worse from global heating, had
caused mass mortalities of marine plants and animals.<br>
<br>
“The estimates in this paper suggest on average we have released
energy equivalent to around 3.5 Hiroshima atomic bombs into the
ocean every second over the period 1971-2018,” he said.<br>
<br>
“The global ocean contributes in a very real way to almost every
aspect of our lives, but this is often overlooked in favour of the
things that we see in front of us.”<br>

demands a phaseout of certain chemical substances and mixtures which
are greenhouse gas emissions including legacy greenhouse gas
emissions. The petitioners note these emissions are presenting an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment and are
therefore in conflict with section 6 of the Toxic Substance Control
Act.<br>
- How the petition was filed with EPA on June 16, with petitioners

<b>Amol Rajan Interviews Greta Thunberg review – she is doomed to
the pure hell of arguing with people</b><br>
Faced with questions both remarkable and daft, the climate crisis
campaigner calmly sees each one off. But then there’s the one that
makes her giggle uncontrollably …<br>
<br>
A master in knocking back questions we should stop asking … Greta
Thunberg with Amol Rajan.<br>
Jack Seale - 18 Oct 2022<br>
What must it be like to be Greta Thunberg? To be, at 19 years of
age, the most recognised climate crisis campaigner in the world,
shouldering the burden of averting – or at this late stage, merely
softening – the biggest calamity humanity has ever faced? What can
that possibly feel like?<br>
<br>
At the end of Amol Rajan Interviews Greta Thunberg (BBC Two), the
conversation becomes more personal and we get a few answers: how
Thunberg doesn’t enjoy being stopped in the street and certainly
doesn’t appreciate threats to her family; how she despairs at being
told her presence reassures people about the future of the planet,
because it implies they are outsourcing their individual
responsibility to her.<br>
But a fundamental insight into Thunberg’s existence has already been
provided by the previous half-hour of questions about her advocacy
of “annual, drastic, immediate emissions cuts, on a scale unlike
anything the world has ever seen”. Thunberg has sacrificed her youth
to tackle the climate emergency, having realised that it demands a
radical reimagining of our whole way of life. Now she is doomed to
the pure hell of arguing with people who cannot conceive of that way
of life changing.<br>
<br>
Rajan, who asserts in his introduction that Thunberg’s influence
must be acknowledged “whether you admire her or despair of her”,
spends large parts of the interview reflecting mainstream discourse
on climate – which is to say, he risks sounding ignorant in order to
give commonplace gotchas and canards an airing. The sport is in how
efficiently Thunberg can knock down questions we should, by now,
have moved beyond asking...<br>
Early on, she is pressed for an opinion on nuclear power and shale
gas. Aren’t they important components of a strategy to hit net zero
by 2050, as per the Paris Agreement? Thunberg does say that the
former is too slow and the latter is, er, a fossil fuel and thus not
a cracking idea, but stresses that her concern is driving awareness
of the extent of the problem, not getting bogged down in hot-button
issues: arguments about which bucket of water to use will dissipate
once people agree that the house is on fire. Unskewing our
priorities is also the rejoinder to Rajan’s question, steeped in
conservative attitudes towards which expenditures are inevitable and
which must be interrogated, about how we would “pay for” free public
transport, a key Thunberg objective, during a “cost of living
crisis”.<br>
<br>
Thunberg is presented with several versions of the same argument: we
can’t do that, because it would cost money or be inconvenient in the
short term. At a time when both main UK political parties have
recently used the slogan “growth, growth, growth”, Thunberg’s
contention that the endless pursuit of economic expansion might just
be, you know, suicidal feels like listening to an intelligent alien
who is beamed down to sort us out. Rajan’s question on the topic is
remarkable: “Economic growth creates leisure time, it creates
opportunities for new experiences – some of which will have a
negative impact on the environment, but a lot of which people really
enjoy. Flying is one of those … do you think flying should be
illegal?”<br>
<br>
More credibly, Rajan asks how Thunberg can call capitalism a failed
ideology, when life expectancy and infant survival rates in China
and India have risen as those countries have commercialised.
Delicately, Thunberg observes that the collapse of life-support
systems, wars for resources and other likely effects of
out-of-control global warming might soon cause those graphs to slope
back down.<br>
It’s not all such a struggle. Thunberg often has a refreshingly
unguarded response to daft statements: her reaction to Rajan
sincerely intoning that “There is one individual looming over this
debate – and that’s Elon Musk” is untrammelled giggling. And, in
this extended format, Rajan has time to include more profound
questions. An inquiry about whether the gap between what we’re doing
and what we need to do is widening (yes) is valuable, as is a
discussion about whether Thunberg ought not to encourage blanket
cynicism towards politicians, and should consider going into
politics herself.<br>
<br>
She counters that although politicians will ultimately implement the
required action, public opinion will be what compels them to act,
and protest is an effective way of amplifying that consensus. The
politicians themselves then become irrelevant, and we can
“reconsider what is politically possible” – the payment of
reparations to poorer countries deeply affected by a changing
climate they have done little to cause, to take the example Rajan
puts forward of a demand that is absurdly unrealistic, might well
become feasible.<br>
<br>
Her main point is that this needs to happen soon. We are desperately
short of time, and Thunberg has given herself the task of
communicating that urgency. As this programme shows, it is a
terribly difficult job.<br>
