<b>20 per cent of species in Canada at risk of extinction: Report</b><br>
Global News<br>
693 views Nov 29, 2022<br>
More than 2,200 plants, animals, fish, and other wildlife in Canada
are at some level of risk of extinction, according to a troubling
new report released by the federal and provincial governments.<br>
The study comes as Montreal prepares to host next week’s COP15
summit on biodiversity.<br>

<b>The climate vulnerable are starting to roar</b><br>
Published on 28/11/2022, 3:15pm<br>
The Cop27 summit won a breakthrough for those on the frontlines of
the climate emergency. Cop28 must herald the end of oil and gas<br>
- -<br>
Countries at Cop27 agreed to create a special fund for “loss and
damage” which will effectively compensate people who have suffered
the most severe climate impacts, ones so bad they cannot be adapted
to.<br>
<br>
It’s a remarkable achievement considering that vulnerable countries
had to fight to even get the issue on the agenda in the first few
days of the meeting. Many of us weren’t convinced we would get this
positive outcome halfway through the two-week summit in Sharm.<br>
<br>
But in the negotiating rooms and conference halls, the developing
countries, with civil society support, fought as if their lives
depended on it because they do. The cause of climate justice
prevailed. How is it fair that those suffering loss and damage
caused by others, not themselves, should have to pay for it?<br>
<br>
Creating the fund is one thing, but it’s currently an empty vessel.
The next task is to get money flowing through it to the frontline
communities that need it...<br>
- -<br>
Already, there are signs that the reign of the fossil fuel industry
is beginning to crack. For the first time a Cop decision document
included language around the expansion of renewables.<br>
<br>
World leaders who attended the summit, such as Kenya’s president
William Ruto, championed the benefits of clean power and outlined
why they were leaving their fossil fuel reserves in the ground.<br>
<br>
Witnessing African leadership on African soil was a proud moment for
this African. There’s no reason we can’t see our entire continent
becoming pioneers for such forward-thinking energy policy. After
all, Africa contains 39% of the world’s renewable energy potential.<br>
<br>
Another sign the fossil fuel industry is getting nervous is just how
many lobbyists they are now sending to these annual climate talks to
try and disrupt them in favour of flogging their product of
pollution.<br>
<br>
This year saw a record number of fossil fuel industry delegates,
more than 600. A few years ago, they wouldn’t have bothered but they
know the growing demand for action on climate change by the public
and that the transformative potential of clean energy is a threat to
their century-long monopoly of the global energy market. So much so
they have distorted the world’s carefully balanced climate during
that time.<br>
<br>
We still have a long way to go, and the indifference of the fossil
fuel companies at the climate suffering they cause knows no bounds.
But the victory of the vulnerables in Sharm shows what can be
achieved when enough people get behind a good idea and gives us
confidence that we can, and must, end the world’s addiction to
fossil fuels.<br>

<b>The Atmospheric Physics Behind Net Zero</b><br>
Gresham College<br>

Before net zero, climate policy was all about contraction and
convergence of emissions between rich and poor to achieve, in the
words of the Rio Convention, “stabilization of greenhouse gas
concentrations in the atmosphere” at a safe level. But scientists
struggled to establish what that “safe” level was, making little
progress in over a quarter of a century. And it was not because we
were incompetent: for fundamental reasons in physics and probability
theory, we were asking the wrong question.<br>

Born 100 years ago, MIT professors Jule Charney and Ed Lorenz
profoundly shaped the field of meteorology during their lifetimes.
Charney laid the groundwork for numerical weather prediction and saw
it transform nearly every aspect of the field, while Lorenz changed
our conception of weather from deterministic phenomena to chaos.
Their stories are intertwined with the evolution of meteorological
research at MIT, which is continued today in the Program for Oceans,
Atmospheres, and Climate within the Department of Earth,
Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences.<br>

<b>Evidence grows of forced labour and slavery in production of

A ‘certificate of origin’ scheme could counter concerns about
renewables supply chains, says Clean Energy Council<br>
Adam Morton Climate and environment editor<br>

- -<br>
The Australian clean energy industry has warned of growing evidence
linking renewable energy supply chains to modern slavery, and urged
companies and governments to act to eliminate it.<br>
<br>
A report by the Clean Energy Council, representing renewable energy
companies and solar installers, has called for more local renewable
energy production and manufacturing and a “certificate of origin”
scheme to counter concerns about slave labour in mineral extraction
and manufacturing in China, Africa and South America...<br>

“’Moshari’ is a unique horror short in that it’s profoundly visual
and emotionally striking from the first frame,” said Rosenfeld and
Gills. “Nuhash drew us into his dynamic post-apocalyptic world and
never let go. It’s a film about survival, love and family, but it’s
also a terrifying and novel take on what a monster movie can be.
Monkeypaw is so grateful to be part of the team.”<br>
<br>
Ahmed and Moore added: “We were floored by Nuhash’s riveting film
that evokes our subconscious fears, from the childhood monster under
the bed to an apocalyptic future. He weaves together jump scares and
an emotional survival story of two young sisters, confronting
colonialism and climate change in the process. We’re thrilled to
join Nuhash’s team and help share this story.”...<br>

<b>Climate change: Wasted methane gas 'a scandal'</b><br>

- -<br>
Green Alliance says oil and gas companies are wasting enough methane
to power more than 700,000 UK homes.<br>
<br>
It says high energy prices mean more of the gas should be captured
and used.<br>
<br>
A spokesperson for UK oil and gas companies rejected that, saying it
was not profitable to capture all of it.<br>
<br>
Scientists say that methane is, alongside carbon dioxide, one of the
main contributors to global warming...<br>
- -<br>
"The technology exists to capture the gas that's being vented and
emitted from the various equipment that we see on this site," Clean
Air Task Force campaign manager James Turrito said outside the gate
to the oil well. "This is absolutely avoidable."<br>

<font size="+2"><i><b>November 30, 2010</b></i></font> <br>
November 30, 2010: Katie Couric, in her CBSNews.com "Notebook"
segment, observes:<br>
<blockquote> "The debate over global warming is once again heating
up in Washington. Roughly half of the newly elected Republican
congressmembers are climate change skeptics, according to one
survey, and some want to roll back environmental regulations.<br>
<br>
"Their position was bolstered by the Climategate scandal, in which
a handful of scientists were accused of manipulating data to
support climate change. The scientists were later cleared, but the
damage was done. Less than 60 percent of Americans now believe in
global warming, down from 80 percent in 2006.<br>
<br>
"Still, the vast majority of scientists -- 97 percent -- say
man-made climate change is real. 700 climate experts have joined a
media project to educate the public, and UN talks are underway in
Cancun on a treaty to curb greenhouse gases.<br>
<br>
"Time is ticking. Global warming may have become a political
football, but scientists say it's one we can't afford to punt."<br>
