<b>Climate change is making the weather more severe. Why don't most
forecasts mention it?</b><br>
November 23, 2022<br>
Rebecca Hersher at NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C...<br>
- -<br>
The day before the storm made landfall in Florida, the acting
director of the hurricane center, Jamie Rhome, appeared on CNN and
was asked how climate change might be affecting the storm's
intensification. He responded, "We can come back and talk about
climate change at a later time. I want to focus on the here and
now."<br>
<br>
Pressed by CNN's Don Lemon, Rhome responded, "I don't think you can
link climate change to any one event. On the whole, on the
cumulative, climate change may be making storms worse. But to link
it to any one event, I would caution against that."<br>
"That statement was wrong," says Wehner. "It is entirely appropriate
for me to say climate change made this event more intense."<br>
<br>
Indeed, a preliminary analysis by Wehner and other climate
scientists in the days after Ian made landfall estimated that
climate change caused the storm to drop at least 10% more rain than
it would have without global warming.<br>
<br>
Asked about Rhome's comments, Rick Spinrad, administrator of NOAA ,
which oversees the National Hurricane Center, said it is clear that
climate change is affecting hurricanes and tropical storms.<br>
<br>
"You look at what happened with Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Ian," he
said in a recent interview with NPR, about two months after
Hurricane Ian. "These storms are dumping feet of rain. We've not
tended to see that before. So when you talk about attribution, I
think it's unequivocal that we can attribute to climate change the
changes in the dynamics of these storms."<br>
But, Spinrad says, the research "isn't robust enough yet" for
weather forecasters to say exactly how much worse a given weather
disaster will be, in real-time. Nor should that necessarily be the
primary goal. Instead, he says his agency is focused on giving
people information about what to expect in the future. For example,
as heat waves get more intense, NOAA hopes to use extreme-event
attribution science to beef up its ability to warn people.<br>

<b>Nomad Century: How Climate Migration Will Reshape Our World </b><br>
by Gaia Vince (Author)<br>
“The MOST IMPORTANT BOOK I imagine I'll ever read.”―Mary Roach<br>
<br>
FROM AN AWARD-WINNING SCIENCE JOURNALIST comes an urgent
investigation of environmental migration―the most underreported,
seismic consequence of our climate crisis that will force us to
change where―and how―we live.<br>
<br>
“An IMPORTANT and PROVOCATIVE start to a crucial conversation.”
―Bill McKibben<br>
<br>
“We are facing a species emergency. We can survive, but to do so
will require a planned and deliberate migration of a kind humanity
has never before undertaken. This is the biggest human crisis you’ve
never heard of.”<br>
<br>
Drought-hit regions bleeding those for whom a rural life has become
untenable. Coastlines diminishing year on year. Wildfires and
hurricanes leaving widening swaths of destruction. The culprit, most
of us accept, is climate change, but not enough of us are
confronting one of its biggest, and most present, consequences: a
total reshaping of the earth’s human geography. As Gaia Vince points
out early in Nomad Century, global migration has doubled in the past
decade, on track to see literal billions displaced in the coming
decades. What exactly is happening, Vince asks? And how will this
new great migration reshape us all?<br>
<br>
In this deeply-reported clarion call, Vince draws on a career of
environmental reporting and over two years of travel to the front
lines of climate migration across the globe, to tell us how the
changes already in play will transform our food, our cities, our
politics, and much more. Her findings are answers we all need, now
more than ever.<br>

<b>The World Could Be Entering a New Era of Climate War</b><br>
Runaway climate change once seemed like it could spur violence. Now
a different risk has emerged.<br>
By Robinson Meyer<br>
NOVEMBER 23, 2022<br>
Back in 2015, when I started covering climate change, climate war
meant one thing. At the time, if someone said that climate change
posed a threat to the world order, you would assume they were
talking about the direct impacts of warming, or its second-order
consequences. Analysts and scholars worried over scenarios in which
unprecedented droughts or city-destroying floods would prompt mass
migrations, destabilizing the rich world or giving rise to far-right
nationalism. Or they worried that a global famine could send food
prices surging, triggering old-fashioned resource wars. Or they
fretted over social science showing that weather fluctuations could
lead to revolutions and civil wars.<br>
<br>
The world of 2015 is not the world of 2022. Countries have made
remarkable progress averting worst-case climate scenarios since
then: Canada taxes carbon pollution, Europe has its Green Deal, and
the United States somehow passed the Inflation Reduction Act. What’s
more, elected leaders have run on these policies and won. Thanks to
a global turn away from coal power, the world will likely not warm 9
degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, as had once seemed
possible...<br>

Abstract<br>
Research findings on the relationship between climate and conflict
are diverse and contested. Here we assess the current understanding
of the relationship between climate and conflict, based on the
structured judgments of experts from diverse disciplines. These
experts agree that climate has affected organized armed conflict
within countries. However, other drivers, such as low socioeconomic
development and low capabilities of the state, are judged to be
substantially more influential, and the mechanisms of
climate–conflict linkages remain a key uncertainty. Intensifying
climate change is estimated to increase future risks of conflict. <br>

<b>Fires, Inflation and Climate Change: Global Trends to Watch in
Marine Insurance</b><br>
Mike Schuler<br>
November 22, 2022<br>
- -<br>
According to AGCS, climate change will increasingly impact marine
insurance claims, with more extreme weather events and new exposures
linked to the transition to net-zero.<br>
- -<br>
Meanwhile, efforts to decarbonize the shipping industry will also
impact marine claims going forward. AGCS notes that a key risk
factor in the transition will be the adoption of alternative fuels,
which could include liquefied natural gas, green hydrogen and
methanol, as well as electric- and wind-powered assisted vessels.
The introduction of new technology and working practices can,
however, result in new risks or unexpected consequences...<br>
Fire and explosion is now the most expensive driver of claims
activity, overtaking sinking and collision. Mis-declared or
non-declaration of dangerous cargos is a common issue.<br>
<br>
Of AGCS’ analysis of more than 240,000 industry claims over the past
five years with an approximate value of 9.2 billion euros, fires
accounted for 18% of the value of marine claims analyzed. The number
of fires on board large vessels has increased significantly in
recent years, with a string of incidents involving cargo fires and
explosions, which are difficult to extinguish and can easily lead to
the total loss of a vessel, tragic loss of life and environmental
damage. AGCS also noted a recent trend of threat posed by
Lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles or cargo that is not
stored, handled or transported correctly. Li-ion battery and
electric vehicle fires burn more ferociously, can be difficult to
extinguish, and are capable of spontaneously reigniting hours or
even days after they have been put out,<br>
<br>
“Shipping losses may have more than halved over the past decade (54?
total losses at the end of 2021 ?compared to? 127? at ?the ?end of
2012, according to the AGCS Safety & Shipping Review 2022), but
fires on board vessels remain among the biggest safety issues for
the industry,” said Captain Rahul Khanna, Global Head of Marine Risk
Consulting at AGCS. “The potential dangers that the transportation
of lithium-ion batteries pose if they are not stored or handled
correctly only add to these concerns, and we have already seen a
number of incidents.”..<br>
