<b>Stunning Satellite Images of Our Changing Planet in 2022</b><br>
E360 DIGEST<br>
DECEMBER 30, 2022<br>
Humans are reshaping the Earth in unprecedented ways, both by
turning vast tracts of wilderness into farms and cities and by
altering the global climate, fueling more intense fires, floods,
heat, and drought. Scientists at NASA have captured the astounding
breadth of humanity’s impact in stunning satellite images. The
photos below, all published in the past year by NASA’s Earth
Observatory, reveal the profound changes now underway. Click photos

<b>Republicans plan more attacks on ESG. Investors still plan to
focus on climate risk</b><br>
December 29, 2022<br>
MICHAEL COPLEY<br>
Republicans are planning to use their control of the House of
Representatives in 2023 to intensify attacks on companies that
account for climate-related risks when they're making investment
decisions.<br>
<br>
GOP officials in Washington and more than a dozen states say they're
focusing on firms that are using their financial power to push a
so-called woke political agenda, rather than trying to maximize
profits. As part of the campaign, Florida, Louisiana and Missouri
have collectively pulled more than $3 billion from BlackRock over
the investment firm's consideration of environmental, social and
governance (ESG) issues. Faced with the political backlash,
Vanguard, another large asset manager, said it decided to withdraw
from a group of investors that's working to zero out greenhouse gas
emissions by midcentury.<br>
<br>
Republicans say they're fighting a coordinated effort by big
investors to impose progressive policies that threaten capitalism
itself.<br>
<br>
Rep. Andy Barr, a Republican from Kentucky and a senior member of
the House Financial Services Committee, says ESG investing is aimed
at "politicizing capital allocation and actively discriminating
against fossil energy."<br>
<br>
ESG is "a cancer in our capital markets that must be eradicated,"
Barr said in a statement to NPR.<br>
<br>
The Republican offensive might dissuade some investors from
publicizing what they're doing to address climate threats, like
rising sea levels and worsening drought. But financial experts say
it isn't shaking a belief that's spreading among many investors that
global warming is creating risks to the bottom line that have to be
reckoned with.<br>
<br>
"ESG isn't particularly controversial within the investment field or
among public companies," says Jon Hale, head of sustainability
research at Morningstar, a financial services company. "To the asset
managers who run [investment funds] and to the public companies in
which they invest, things like climate change are real and pose a
real threat to many businesses."<br>
<b>ESG goes mainstream, inviting attacks</b><br>
A lot of investors had a bad year in 2022. Through November,
investors had pulled more than $250 billion out of U.S. investment
funds as stock prices fell, inflation rose and the threat of
recession grew, according to Morningstar. However, funds that have
made ESG a central focus of their investing strategy fared better,
taking in around $3 billion during the same period and "painting a
much brighter picture than the overall U.S. fund market," the firm
says.<br>
<br>
Sustainable investors "tend to be more connected with their
investments," Hale says. "They're more long-term oriented. And so
when things go South, I think we see sustainable investors staying
the course more so than investors overall."<br>
<br>
Now, the sorts of considerations that are at the heart of ESG
investing are showing up across the world of business and finance,
he says. Most big companies and investment fund managers have set
their own ESG initiatives or consider those kinds of issues when
they're making investment decisions, Hale says, even if
sustainability isn't their core focus.<br>
<br>
The fact that ESG has become a more common concern embedded across
businesses helps explain why it's being attacked, says Mindy Lubber,
CEO of Ceres, a nonprofit focused on sustainability.<br>
<br>
A December hearing that Texas lawmakers held on ESG investing could
be a preview of things to come in Congress. Texas lawmakers said the
practice of analyzing climate risks to make investment decisions is
threatening fossil fuel companies in the state and the entire
American economy.<br>
<br>
Under questioning in Texas, Dalia Blass, BlackRock's head of
external affairs, said the firm considers ESG issues that pose
financial risks and opportunities for clients in order to deliver
"the best risk-adjusted returns we can for them."<br>
<br>
Blass said only a small fraction of the investment funds that
BlackRock manages in the U.S. are labeled as ESG. She also said the
firm found that ESG index funds usually performed better than their
non-ESG counterparts over a three-year period.<br>
<br>
"Going forward, Republicans control the House, they seem bent on
investigations, so, perhaps after Hunter Biden, we may see some
effort to try to haul in ESG proponents," says Hale of Morningstar.
"But I think when they do that, they'll find that this is not a
group of leftist ideologues that they seem to expect, but rational
business people and investors."<br>
<br>
Rep. Patrick McHenry, a Republican from North Carolina and the
incoming chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said in
a statement to NPR that GOP lawmakers will "conduct appropriate
oversight of activist regulators and market participants who have an
outsized impact."<br>
<b>Blowback could make investors more conservative in dealing with
climate change</b><br>
Voters seem to think that investors should be free to act on
concerns about climate risk. In a September poll by ROKK Solutions
and Penn State University's Center for the Business of
Sustainability, 63% of registered voters said the government
shouldn't limit ESG investing.<br>
<br>
"They're essentially saying that businesses should have the autonomy
to do [what] they see fit and act in the best interest of their
stakeholders," says Tessa Recendes, an assistant professor of
business at Penn State.<br>
<br>
But congressional hearings could still be damaging — or at least
embarrassing — for some investors.<br>
<br>
"I think both sides have probably overstated their case: the ones
attacking ESG and the ones who, perhaps, oversold ESG for selfish,
opportunistic reasons," says Shivaram Rajgopal, a professor at
Columbia Business School.<br>
<br>
Financial experts say ESG isn't a substitute for government action
to deal with climate change. And there have been complaints that
some companies misrepresent their environmental actions, a practice
known as greenwashing.<br>
<br>
As the political backlash grows, some ESG critics are focusing on
investment firms that worked together to apply new standards for
sustainability, saying that sort of collaboration could violate
antitrust laws.<br>
<br>
"I'm sure lawyers are spending a lot of time going over minutes,
statements, conversations to make sure that lines weren't crossed,
and where lines were crossed, they have defense strategies," says
Witold Henisz of corporations that could be the focus of Republican
scrutiny. Henisz is faculty director of the ESG Initiative at The
Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. "I
don't think they anticipate huge liabilities, huge penalties. But
could some firms be embarrassed? Could there be some conversations
that crossed a line that lead to some fines? I mean, I wouldn't be
surprised."<br>
<br>
Henisz says one of the biggest risks from the GOP attacks is that
investors will be less willing to take aggressive action to deal
with climate change. But he says there's no sign that investors are
wavering in their belief that ESG issues like global warming pose a
serious financial threat.<br>
<br>
Vanguard says that while it's no longer part of the Net Zero Asset
Managers initiative, it will continue focusing on climate risk and
offering investors information and investment products to help them
meet goals of zeroing out greenhouse gas emissions.<br>

<i>[ This means tidal flooding is amplified by weather ]</i><br>
<b>Sea level on steroids: Record tides flood Washington coastlines</b><br>
JAN 09, 2022 <br>
BY Johnryan John Ryan<br>
Some of the highest tides ever recorded hit Seattle and much of the
Washington coast during the first week of January 2022...<br>
- -<br>
Extreme high tides, along with extreme low tides, were expected this
week, though not this high.<br>
<br>
The swollen waters known as "king tides" come to Washington every
winter, driven by the relative positions of the earth, moon, and
sun.<br>
<br>
This week, those extraterrestrial forces combined with low
atmospheric pressure and strong winds to push Puget Sound much
higher than forecast.<br>
<br>
The powerful influence of air pressure on the sea is sometimes
called the “inverse barometer effect.”<br>
<br>
Atmospheric or barometric pressure is the weight of all the air
above you.<br>
<br>
When the barometer drops, the ocean can expand beyond what tide
tables forecast, much like your pillow rising when you lift your
head off it.<br>
<br>
Mariners a century ago had a saying: “fog nips the tide,” a slight
misstating of the fact that high-pressure weather systems that often
bring coastal fog also push down the tides.<br>
<br>
Washington Sea Grant oceanographer Ian Miller says low-pressure
storms can boost tides in Puget Sound as much as 3 feet.<br>

<b>Sanity 101: Living Fully in an Age of Decline (Basic Training)
Essential Wisdom for Hard Times</b><br>
thegreatstory<br>
Dec 27, 2022<br>
This 90-min program (four 20-25 minute sections), "Sanity 101:
Living Fully in an Age of Decline (BASIC TRAINING) Essential
Wisdom for Hard Times" gives voice to a decade of research into
(1) the unstoppable nature of denial regarding biospheric and
civilizational collapse, and (2) how we can live fully and
contribute meaningfully even in the worst circumstances. <br>
DESCRIPTION: No one needs convincing that we are living in hard
times and in an age of chaos and breakdowns. Even those with no
understanding of the runaway nature of biospheric and
civilizational decline feel the stress. Just to read or watch
today’s propaganda, formerly known as “the news”, is a sobering
(or un-sobering!) experience. So... How do we cope? How can we
stay positive? And, perhaps most importantly, how can we be of
support to others who are confused, angry, depressed, or filled
with fear, blame, or guilt? That's what this "basic training" in
living life fully and loving the life you live even in the worst
of times is all about. <br>
THESIS: The stability of the biosphere has been in decline for
centuries and in runaway (unstoppable) collapse for decades. This
“Great Acceleration” of technology- and market-driven ecocide is
an easily verifiable fact. The scientific evidence is
overwhelming. Evidence is also compelling that the vast majority
of people will deny this, especially those still benefitting from
the existing order, those legitimately concerned about the
consequences of collapse, those who fear that accepting reality
means “giving up”. The history of 80+ previous boom and bust
societies clearly reveals how and why Homo colossus (industrial
civilization) is in terminal decline and destined for near-term
extinction. Paradoxically, acceptance of collapse and its
inevitable consequences may be the single most important thing any
of us can do to live fully, fearlessly, and inspiringly in this
Age of Decline: at TEOTWAWKI (The-End-Of-The-World-As-We-Know-It).<br>

December 31, 2012: The 11 Dumbest Things Conservative Media Said
About Climate Change in 2014<br>
BY KEVIN KALHOEFER - PUBLISHED 12/30/14<br>
<b>11. Bill O'Reilly: “It's Easier To Believe In A Benevolent God,
The Baby Jesus” </b>Than Manmade Climate Change. On the December
16 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly led a
discussion on whether or not it is easier to believe in the birth
story of Jesus than in manmade climate change, positing that it is
“easier to believe in a benevolent God, the baby Jesus, than it is
in some kind of theory about global warming.” When his guest pointed
out that 97 percent of climate scientists agree that human
activities are driving global warming, O'Reilly baselessly
countered, “I wouldn't put it that high. I've read a lot about it.”
He concluded: "[I]t's a choice -- people choose to believe."<br>
<br>
<b>10. Forbes on Fox Panelists: Global Warming Is A “Massive Human
Delusion” </b>Because The Free Market Disproves It. In a panel
discussion dismissing the science behind climate change on the
January 4 edition of Fox News' Forbes on Fox, panelist John Tamny
derided global warming as “a massive human delusion” and “left-wing
hubris at its worst.” Tamny concluded: “If global warming were real,
Solyndra would be booming today and ExxonMobil would be going out of
business ... market signals say [addressing global warming] is a
big, economy-sapping waste of time.” Disregarding that market
economics do not prove or disprove scientific literature, companies
like Solyndra are the exception rather than the rule, with 98
percent of the businesses in the the Department of Energy's loan
guarantee program -- from which Solyndra received its loan-- being
successful ventures. In addition, a study released by the Risky
Business Project this year on the economic impacts of climate change
showed that failing to address climate change could results in costs
of tens of billions of dollars in coastal property and
infrastructure.<br>
<br>
<b>9. Fox's Bolling Denies Existence Of Decades Of Science. On the
February 28 edition of Fox News' </b>The Five, co-host Eric
Bolling proclaimed: “There's no science to global warming.” But the
scientific basis for manmade climate change stretches back decades,
with the first scientific evidence of the greenhouse effect traced
back to the 1800s. A search in Google scholar for “manmade climate
change” produces over 50,000 results. And the overwhelming majority
of scientific literature taking a stance on climate change agrees
with the consensus: of nearly 11 thousand scientific papers
published in 2013 alone, only two rejected the notion of manmade
global warming. Unfortunately for Bolling, simply saying something
doesn't exist doesn't make it go away.<br>
<br>
<b>8. Fox's Kilmeade Likens Addressing Climate Change To Committing
Treason.</b> On the June 26 edition of Fox News Radio's Kilmeade
& Friends, host Brian Kilmeade made a stretched analogy between
the present and the “record warm” temperatures that colonists
encountered at Jamestown, noting that warm temperatures did not
prevent the colonists from settling the town. Kilmeade then derided
President Obama for discussing climate change, suggesting he should
“wait till [he] get[s] out of office” to address climate change so
he can “attend to” other “crises.” Kilmeade concluded: “It's almost
treason for [Obama] to be focusing” on climate change.<br>
<br>
<b>7. CNBC's Joe Kernen Compares Climate Science To “Witchcraft” And
“Orwellian Groupthink.” C</b>NBC co-host Joe Kernenmade his
contempt for climate science very clear this year. On the February
27 edition of Squawk Box,he likened climate change to “witchcraft,”
saying, “In the Middle Ages, you would attribute adverse weather
events to witchcraft. Now we just have CO2.” In a subsequent edition
of Squawk Box, Kerner also called belief in climate change
“Orwellian Groupthink,” adding, “You know what's going to happen?
Pitchforks, and people are going to be outside of CNBC, I'm not
going to argue on what's faith-based... but I don't want them
protesting out in front... because any dissent at this point is
totally not tolerated.”<br>
<br>
<b>6. Fox Guest Predicts We Are Heading Into An “Ice Age.” </b>On
April 14, Fox host Eric Bolling interviewed David Archibald, who has
no scientific credentials other than a bachelor's degree in geology
yet claims to be a “climate scientist,” to advance his claim of “an
impending ice age.” In the segment, Bolling warned that harsh, cold
winters “could be the new norm,” and Archibald claimed that the
globe will enter a “20- to 30-year cooling period” because the sun
is “going to sleep.” Yet Archibald blaming the solar cycles for
global warming has been debunked as solar cycles and global
temperatures have been moving in opposite directions, and much of
the research Archibald conducted to make these assertions has been
criticized as “too erroneous to meet the standards in standard
peer-reviewed journals.”<br>
<br>
<b>5. Sean Hannity Announces That “Nothing” Will Convince Him Global
Warming Is Not A Hoax.</b> On the January 29 edition of Premiere
Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show, Sean Hannity claimed that
“climate change hysteria has been politically motivated” and that
scientists have altered data “so they could make a political point.”
His guest brought up a recent report showing that only one out of of
9,136 scientists that authored scientific papers published from
November 12, 2012, to December 31, 2013, rejected manmade global
warming, but Hannity dismissed it immediately. He asserted: “I don't
care what your liberal friends say... It means nothing to me. I
think global warming is a hoax, there's nothing you're going to say
here today that's going to convince me otherwise.”<br>
<b><br>
</b><b>4. Fox News Host Ignores Decades Of Arctic Sea Ice Decline To
Cast Doubt On Climate Change. </b>On his show Cashin' In, host
Eric Bolling attempted to cast doubt on global warming by displaying
a graphic showing an increase in Arctic sea ice from 2012 to 2013,
claiming that the Arctic has seen a “full icecap recovery.” It was
an egregious case of cherry-picking; while Arctic sea ice reached
record lows in 2012 which it recovered from slightly in 2013, the
ice cap has been in decline for decades, and is nowhere near
recovery. One year's increase does not negate the long-term trend.<br>

<b>3. Fox News Cites Birther To Claim NASA “Faked” Global Warming. </b>On
June 24, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy claimed that 1934 was
the hottest year on record contrary to NASA's current data, “at
least until NASA scientists fudged the numbers to make 1998 the
hottest year to overstate the extent of global warming.” The Fox
hosts based their comments on a blog post -- published under
pseudonym Steven Goddard -- by Tony Heller, even though experts and
even climate skeptic Anthony Watts identified fundamental flaws in
his analysis. Heller touting conspiracy theories is nothing new: he
previously promoted the myth that President Obama was born in Kenya.<br>

<b>2. Eric Bolling: Climate Change Is A Scam To Fund “Vacations Up
In The Antarctic” </b>And Researchers' “Lifestyles.” In a segment
on climate change on the January 3 edition of Fox News' The Five,
host Eric Bolling said that he did not believe in climate change
because if scientists did not say there was global warming, there
would be “no reason for them to get billions upon billions of
dollars to fund their research projects” and “vacations in the
Antarctic.”<br>

<b>1. CNBC's Climate “Expert”: “Demonization Of Carbon Dioxide Is
Just Like” Demonization Of “Jews Under Hitler.” </b>CNBC's Squawk
Box invited Princeton professor William Happer to discuss climate
change on the July 14 edition of the show, even though he has never
written a peer-reviewed paper on the issue. When co-anchor Andrew
Ross Sorkin brought up Happer's past comments comparing climate
science to Nazi propaganda, Happer defended his analogy, saying,
“the demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of
the poor Jews under Hitler; carbon dioxide is actually a benefit to
the world.” Happer is the chairman of the Marshall Institute, which
has received more than $800K from ExxonMobil.<br>
