<b>U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s appearance on Monday’s episode of “The View”
was interrupted multiple time by protesters in the audience.</b><br>
<br>
While Cruz was speaking about inflation on the ABC daytime show, a
group of women began repeatedly shouting what sounded like “Cover
climate now!”<br>
<br>
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg responded by saying, ““Ladies, excuse us.
Let us do our job! We hear what you all have to say but you gotta
go. You gotta let us do our job.” Fellow co-host Sunny Hostin then
explained “They’re accusing us of not covering climate change.”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin joked with Cruz after the interruption,
“They weren’t even protesting you.”...<br>

<b>IG: Climate change to add to Treasury Department’s workload as

Of the five management challenges the Treasury Department faces,
only the threat of climate change is new for 2023. Treasury’s
inspector general said it added climate change to the list of four
others from previous years. The IG said climate change is a new
management challenge because of the role Treasury will play working
with other agencies, foreign governments and international financial
institutions on global action to address climate change-created
economic and financial crises. The other management and performance
challenges include cybersecurity, IT acquisition and program
management, pandemic relief, and anti-money laundering and terrorist
financing.<br>

The CSI is a categorical scale, with the categories defined by the
ratio of how common (or likely) a temperature is in today's altered
climate vs. how common it would be in a climate without human-caused
climate change. For the positive CSI conditions (which occur much
more often than the negative), we assigned a simple descriptor to
these events (see table).<br>

<i>[ Oops, not all activism events work as planned ]</i><br>
<b>Climate protesters glue themselves to Porsche museum but needed
to go potty</b><br>
Staff simply left, turning off heat and lights rather than calling
the police<br>
JONATHON RAMSEY<br>
Oct 21st 2022<br>
Climate change activists protesting industries and governments had a
busy summer in Europe. A relentless outfit called Just Stop Oil in
the UK has created disruptions everywhere from major highways to the
British Formula 1 Grand Prix, and more recently, they threw tomato
soup on a Van Gogh painting at the National Gallery in London.
Across the Channel, the Tour de France cycling race was forced to
pause during several stages by climate activists who'd glued
themselves to the road. Over France's eastern border, a group called
Scientist Rebellion took the sticky route when nine members glued
their hands to the floor of the Porsche pavilion at Volkswagen's
Autostadt museum in Wolfsburg on Thursday.<br>
<br>
The protesters have several requests for VW Group CEO Oliver Blume
as listed in a Twitter thread about the event, among them: support
for capping the maximum speed on German highways to 100 kilometers
per hour (62 mph); hastening VW's moves to lower its carbon
emissions; canceling the debt and interest payments "owed to VW by
the Global South"; and "pressure the [government] to comply with our
demands."<br>
<br>
Such protests are happening so often that there's now a standard
back-and-forth. A group disrupts traffic or makes a scene.
Authorities are called in almost immediately. The media follow,
capturing the ruckus as protesters are unglued or unchained or
coaxed down. The Autostadt is a VW gem among the Wolfsburg factory
complex, with the immense glass storage tower shuffling completed
vehicles awaiting delivery and pavilions for Audi, Seat,
Lamborghini, and Porsche. This should have made it the perfect place
for the back-and-forth, a magnet for police intervention and
media. <br>
<br>
Instead, staff at the VW museum ignored the playbook. Instead of
calling Wolfsburg police immediately, staff "recognized the right to
protest," then closed the pavilion for the evening and left —
turning off the light and heat as they walked out...<br>

<i>[The news archive - looking back at the time when the verb "to
trump" was very useful ]</i><br>

<blockquote><b>Pragmatism on Climate Change Trumps Politics at Local
Level Across U.S.</b><br>
By John Schwartz<br>
Oct. 24, 2014<br>
MIAMI BEACH — As she planned her run for the Florida House of
Representatives this year, Kristin Jacobs told her team that she
wanted her campaign to address the effects of climate change. Her
advisers were initially skeptical, noting that voters typically
said they cared about the environment, but considered the issue
less urgent than the economy and health care.<br>
<br>
Ms. Jacobs, a commissioner for Broward County, pressed her case,
arguing that few issues were more critical to residents of
southeast Florida than street flooding at high tide — sometimes
even on sunny days — and ocean water seeping into their drinking
water. “It’s how you ask the question,” she said. “Is clean water
important to you?”<br>
<br>
Voters have answered yes so far, handing Ms. Jacobs a victory in
the Democratic primary in August with more than 76 percent of the
vote. Opinion polls suggest she will cruise to victory in
November.<br>
<br>
The results were “shocking,” said Steven J. Vancore, a pollster
and political consultant advising Ms. Jacobs.<br>
While politicians are increasingly willing to include
environmental messages in their campaigns, many at the national
level still steer clear of the politically charged topic of
climate change. But in communities across the country where the
effects are lapping at the doorsteps of residents, pragmatism
often trumps politics, and candidates as well as elected officials
across the political spectrum are embracing the issue.<br>
<br>
Some local Republican officials in Florida and elsewhere say they
can no longer follow the lead of state and national party leaders
like Senator Marco Rubio and Gov. Rick Scott, who have publicly
questioned whether human activity has had an effect on climate
change. (Though both have recently taken a more vague “I’m not a
scientist” stance.) The Center for American Progress Action Fund,
a left-leaning advocacy group in Washington, tracks the statements
of American political figures on climate change and reports that
more than 58 percent of Republicans in Congress have denied a link
between human activity and global warming.<br>
<br>
But in the Florida Keys, George Neugent, a Republican county
commissioner, said that while people might disagree about what to
do about climate change, the effects of flooding and hurricanes
were less ambiguous. “Clearly rising tides are going to affect
us,” he said.<br>
<br>
That is leading to discussions about a broad range of possible
responses, including elevating roads and switching the Bermuda
grass at the local golf course to paspalum, which tolerates salty
water.<br>
<br>
“I have to be very careful when I say some things, especially to
the skeptics,” Mr. Neugent said, adding that he avoided arguments
about the science of climate change. “It’s not worth the effort or
the time to prove what clearly is a factual situation. We’re
living with it.”<br>
<br>
James Brainard, the Republican mayor of Carmel, Ind., has sought
to be active on climate change issues. The city has reduced its
energy use with fuel-efficient city cars and small trucks, LED
lighting and so-called green buildings. It also pipes the methane
gas from the treatment of wastewater into boilers that help
produce so-called biosolids that can be used as fertilizer.<br>
<br>
“I don’t think we want to be the party that believes in dirty air
and dirty water,” Mr. Brainard said, noting that the Environmental
Protection Agency was founded under President Richard M. Nixon, a
Republican. Despite the broad agreement among scientists on
climate change, he added, “the problem in D.C. is that a lot of
people are making a lot of money keeping people mad at each
other.”<br>
<br>
Bob Inglis, a former Republican congressman from South Carolina
who is working to get members of his party to accept climate
change and identify solutions, said his argument was not a hard
sell for local officials “who are in the business of fixing
things, not just talking about them.” His hope, he added, is that
the viewpoint “eventually percolates up to the people making grand
pronouncements.”<br>
<br>
Across the United States, a growing number of state and local
governments are pulling together plans to deal with the effects of
climate change, as a new tracking tool from the Georgetown Climate
Center at Georgetown University Law Center shows.<br>
<br>
The Obama administration, hoping to build on momentum at the local
level, has created a task force of state and local officials who
are active on the issues. Ms. Jacobs and Mr. Brainard are members.
The group is preparing a report for the federal government this
fall, with hundreds of recommendations for local action and a
national role.<br>
<br>
Commissioner Paula Brooks of Franklin County, Ohio, which includes
Columbus, the state capital, said there had been a 37 percent
increase in flooding in the area since 1958, as heavy rains have
overwhelmed aging drainage systems.<br>
<br>
The runoff from such rains has carried fertilizer into Lake Erie,
contributing to an algae crisis that forced Toledo, Ohio, to ban
the use of tap water for several days in August.<br>
<br>
“I really see this as a very bipartisan issue that people are
interested in talking about,” said Ms. Brooks, a Democrat who also
serves on Mr. Obama’s climate task force. “These weather impacts
are coming home to roost.”<br>
<br>
Patsy Parker, the mayor of Perdido Beach, Ala., said ruinous
flooding in April washed away roads and left a gully 12 feet deep.
As much as 30 inches of rain fell. That the town is by the Gulf of
Mexico makes it especially vulnerable to hurricanes.<br>
<br>
Ms. Parker is also a member of the president’s climate change task
force, but she said that being on the panel had not bolstered her
popularity in the predominantly Republican region of southern
Alabama.<br>
<br>
She claims no party affiliation, and says that she does not talk
about climate change with her constituents, nor about whether the
weather crises might get worse. Discussing climate change in a
community like hers, she said, just stirs people up.<br>
<br>
“I leave that conversation up to the experts,” she added, “the
scientists who have much more knowledge and training than I do.”<br>
<br>
Ms. Parker does welcome interest in protecting Perdido Beach from
the ravages of severe weather. “Even if it gets no worse, it’s bad
enough that we need to do what we can,” she said.<br>
<br>
But climate change has drawn significant interest in South
Florida. This month, more than 600 people attended the Southeast
Florida Climate Leadership Summit in Miami Beach, where Ms. Jacobs
of Broward County and other officials from the region described
their work on more than 100 environmental initiatives. The
projects are intended to make that part of the state more
resilient and energy efficient, and to protect groundwater from
creeping salinization.<br>
<br>
John P. Holdren, Mr. Obama’s science adviser, and Mike Boots, who
leads the Council on Environmental Quality at the White House,
attended the event in a show of support.<br>
<br>
“You simply don’t have time to endure the incredibly frustrating
political debate that is consuming a lot of the oxygen in the city
where we work,” Mr. Boots, referring to Washington, told the
attendees in Miami Beach. “You’re acting."<br>
