<b>How You Can Fight Climate Anxiety</b><br>
Oct 21, 2022 <br>
In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at
how you can fight climate anxiety. Specifically, I look at the root
causes of eco-anxiety and climate anxiety, why climate anxiety might
only become more prevalent, and then offer up some ideas on how to
cope and move through eco and climate anxiety. <br>

<b>Making Sense of the Meaning Crisis | John Vervaeke</b><br>
454 views Oct 20, 2022 John Vervaeke is a cognitive scientist at
the University of Toronto and world renowned thinker, bridging
science and spirituality in order to understand the experience of
meaningfulness: how to cultivate it and why it’s crucial for human
beings.<br>
<br>
@John Vervaeke joins me to discuss “the meaning crisis”—the global
phenomenon of modern humans having access to so much, and yet so
little profundity. Referencing neurobiology, faith and behavioural
science, John explains the impact the meaning crisis is having on
individuals all around the world, and what to do about it.<br>
<br>
We then explore its intersection with the metacrisis, and the
historical traditions which are the root of our global energy,
economic and climate crisis. Critically, John says we cannot solve
the climate crisis without addressing the cultural forces driving
the meaning crisis<br>

<b>Can Focusing On Climate Change Help Win Elections?</b><br>
By Maggie Koerth<br>
OCT. 17, 2022,<br>
“Our generation grew up watching as the climate crisis got worse and
worse and politicians did nothing.” That might sound like a quote
from teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, but it’s actually the
opening line for a new series of political ads appearing in multiple
states in the lead-up to the 2022 midterms — ads that the advocacy
groups Climate Power Action and the League of Conservation Voters
are hoping will tip the scales towards climate-focused Democrats...<br>
- -<br>
Historically, however, climate change has not been much of a
political kingmaker. Even when candidates trusted that their
constituents did care deeply about the environment, it hasn’t been
something that reliably changed votes. In the 2020 presidential
election, for example, two-thirds of voters told exit pollster
Edison Research that climate change was a “serious problem” — but 29
percent of that same group voted for then-President Donald Trump, a
candidate whose position on climate change was … inconsistent … at
best. <br>
- -<br>
Young people have the strongest beliefs about the reality of climate
change and the need to take action on it, said Charlotte Hill, a
professor of political science at the University of California,
Berkeley. That trend is so strong that it even crosses party lines:
Forty-seven percent of voting-age Republicans under 30 told Pew in
May that the government was doing too little to combat climate
change, compared to just 18 percent of Republicans 65 and older. But
young (and particularly young, left-leaning) voters are such good
targets for these ads because they are also the age group least
likely to turn out for a midterm election. And “it’s also pretty
consistent that the top reason that young people cite for not voting
is not liking the candidates or the issues,” Hill said.<br>
<br>
Targeting the people who care the most about climate change, and are
the least likely to just go out and vote on their own, with ads that
tell them politicians are actually acting on their desires can
produce the kind of small differences that tip the scales in some
elections, Hill and Vavreck said. <br>
<br>
But the LCV campaign took this one step further, by targeting ads at
2 million specific voters who live in the districts where that tiny
margin of change will matter the most, including seven states where
the statewide Senate race is a tight one — Arizona, Colorado,
Georgia, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The
model is based off of similar microtargeting work from the 2020
presidential election, when the goal was to persuade undecided
voters who cared a lot about climate issues to cast their ballot in
favor of Biden, said Pete Maysmith, senior vice president of
campaigns at LCV. Those voters approved of Trump more than Biden,
but the targeted ads seem to have convinced at least a portion of
them to vote Democrat. Based on post-election surveys and a
controlled experiment, LCV believes they increased Biden’s vote
margin by 5.6 percentage points, relative to the control population.
<br>
<br>
Nobody knows yet how big a difference the group will be able to make
with this latest round of micro-targeted ads. But evidence suggests
that small can be big, and that fact changes the stakes on climate
change advertising. <br>

<b>Crop Production and Climate Impacts</b><br>
Climate Change Will Slow Midwest Yield Increases for Corn, Soybeans,
Wheat<br>
10/20/2022 <br>
Chris Clayton, DTN Ag Policy Editor<br>
DES MOINES (DTN) -- Midwest farmers will struggle more in the coming
years to hit the yield increases they have come to expect over the
past generation.<br>
<br>
A new report released Wednesday by Environmental Defense Fund at the
World Food Prize Borlaug Dialogue looked at corn, soybean and wheat
yields. The analysis used 20 different computer models to analyze
how climate change will alter yields in Iowa, Minnesota and Kansas
by 2030 and 2050.<br>
By 2030, nearly all counties in Iowa will see corn yields that are
more than 5% lower than they would have been without climate change.
More than half will see declines of 10% or greater.<br>
<br>
More than half of Minnesota counties will see soybean yields drop by
more than 5% from what they would have been without climate change.
As many as 12 counties in the state will see soybean yields decline
more than 10% by 2030.<br>
<br>
In Kansas, counties will see winter wheat yields drop by more than
5% from what they would otherwise be without climate change. Some
counties in the state will see yield declines of as much as 16%.
Still, the models show some counties in Kansas also will see wheat
yields increase as much as 25%.<br>
<br>
The models show yields would continue to grow, but see more
year-to-year variability and yield fluctuations. Some parts of each
state are affected more negatively than others as well. The modeled
yields include assumptions about innovations, technology and
factored in expected emission reductions to aid the climate...<br>

<b>Eerie, quiet and so much smoke: Darrington mayor reflects on

"It's like a light fog throughout the community," Rankin said. "Some
of the street lights are on and definitely have that pungent
wildland fire smell about us. Visibility [is] maybe four of our
really short town blocks, and then it kind of vanishes into gray."<br>
<br>
Rankin says that, in the 61 years he's lived in Darrington, he's
never seen so much smoke in his community. People are trying to cope
the best they can by staying inside.<br>
<br>
"It's a real quiet and almost eerie atmosphere throughout the
community," Rankin said...<br>

that global cooling was on the horizon--a story that went against
the scientific evidence of the era pointing to global warming.<br>
