warming in the next decade, study using AI finds</b><br>
Researchers found that exceeding the 2C increase has a 50% chance
of happening by mid-century</font><br>

</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The world is on the brink of breaching a
critical climate threshold, according to a new study published on
Monday, signifying time is running exceedingly short to spare the
world the most catastrophic effects of global heating.<br>
<br>
Using artificial intelligence to predict warming timelines,
researchers at Stanford University and Colorado State University
found that 1.5C of warming over industrial levels will probably be
crossed in the next decade. The study also shows the Earth is on
track to exceed 2C warming,which international scientists
identified as a tipping point, with a 50% chance the grave
benchmark would be met by mid-century.<br>
<br>
“We have very clear evidence of the impact on different ecosystems
from the 1C of global warming that’s already happened,” said
Stanford University climate scientist Noah Diffenbaugh, who
co-authored the study with atmospheric scientist Elizabeth Barnes.
“This new study, using a new method, adds to the evidence that we
certainly will face continuing changes in climate that intensify
the impacts we are already feeling.”<br>
<br>
Utilizing a neural network, or a type of AI that recognizes
relationships in vast sets of data, the scientists trained the
system to analyze a wide array of global climate model simulations
and then asked it to determine timelines for given temperature
thresholds.<br>
<br>
The model found a nearly 70% chance that the two-degree threshold
would be crossed between 2044 and 2065, even if emissions rapidly
decline. To check the AI’s prediction prowess, they also entered
historical measurements and asked the system to evaluate current
levels of heating already noted. Using data from 1980 to 2021, the
AI passed the test, correctly homing in on both the 1.1C warming
reached by 2022 and the patterns and pace observed in recent
decades.<br>
<br>
The two temperature benchmarks, outlined as crisis points by the
United Nations Paris agreement, produce vastly different outcomes
across the world. The landmark pact, signed by nearly 200
countries, pledged to keep heating well below two degrees and
recognized that aiming for 1.5C “would significantly reduce the
risks and impacts of climate change”.<br>
<br>
Half a degree of heating may not seem like a lot, but the
increased impacts are exponential, intensifying a broad scale of
consequences for ecosystems around the world, and the people,
plants and animals that depend on them. Just a fraction of a
degree of warming would increase the number of summers the Arctic
would be ice-free tenfold, according to the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change, a global consortium of scientists founded
to assess climate change science for the UN. The difference
between 1.5C and 2C also results in twice the amount of lost
habitat for plants and three times the amount for insects.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The change will also fuel a dangerous rise in
disasters. A warmer world will deliver droughts and deluges and
produce more firestorms and floods. Scorching heatwaves will
become more severe and more common, occurring 5.6 times more often
at the 2C benchmark, according to the IPCC, with roughly 1bn
people facing a greater potential of fatal fusions of humidity and
heat. Communities around the world will have to come to grips with
more weather whiplash that flips furiously between extremes.<br>
<br>
For many developing countries – including small island nations on
the frontlines of the climate crisis – the difference between the
two is existential. Some regions warm faster than others and the
effects from global heating won’t unfold equally. The highest toll
is already being felt by those who are more vulnerable and less
affluent and the devastating divisions are only expected to
sharpen.<br>
<br>
Climate scientists have long been warning of the
near-inevitability of crossing 1.5C, but by offering a new way of
predicting key windows, this study has made an even more urgent
case for curbing emissions and adapting to the effects that are
already beginning to unfold.<br>
<br>
“Our AI model is quite convinced that there has already been
enough warming that 2C is likely to be exceeded if reaching
net-zero emissions takes another half-century,” said Diffenbaugh.
“Net-zero pledges are often framed around achieving the Paris
Agreement 1.5C goal,” he added. “Our results suggest that those
ambitious pledges might be needed to avoid 2C.”<br>
<br>
The findings shouldn’t be seen as an indication that the world has
failed to meet the moment, Diffenbaugh emphasized. Instead, he
hopes the work serves to motivate rather than dismay. There’s
still time to stave off an even higher escalation in the effects
and prepare for the ones already brewing – but not much.<br>
<br>
“Managing these risks effectively will require both greenhouse gas
mitigation and adaptation,” he said. “We are not adapted to the
global warming that’s already happened and we certainly are not
adapted to what is certain to be more global warming in the
future.”<br>
<br>
And, while progress is being made on shifting toward a more
sustainable future, there’s a long way to go. “Stabilizing the
climate system will require reaching net zero, he said. “There are
a lot of emissions globally – and it’s a big ship to turn around.”<br>

than fiction? Call it non-fiction story telling? ]</i></font><br>
<b>‘The Deluge’ is a climate nightmare — and it’s based on reality</b><br>
Stephen Markley explains how he wrote a dystopia that feels a little
too real.<br>
It was the year 2028, and I was hiding with eco-terrorists in a
cabin deep in the woods. We were trying to avoid detection by the
surveillance state, which was tracking activists after attacks on
oil and gas infrastructure. Birds were dropping dead from the sky,
and a dust storm raged around us, turning the sun crimson.<br>
<br>
I was relieved to wake up from this dream and shake my paranoia that
the FBI was after me. That’s how immersive The Deluge is, an
ambitious new novel by Stephen Markley. My subconscious had picked
up the storyline around page 200, and after I got out of bed, I
couldn’t remember exactly where the book stopped and my dream began.
Was getting followed by a police cruiser while driving a van full of
explosives part of the plot? What about that night walk through the
forest with the conspirators?<br>
<br>
Bridging the recent past with a climate-wrecked future, the
hyper-realistic novel follows a sprawling cast of characters from
2013 until the 2040s. The Deluge stars both the people trying to
save the world and the ones wrecking it: a scientist, an advertising
strategist, a math genius, a drug addict, politicians, activists,
and right-wing authoritarians. Over the course of nearly 900 pages,
climate disasters get personal, with roaring fires and ferocious
floods coming for the characters’ loved ones. And the brutal weather
brings a violent reaction with it. By extrapolating from present
trends, Markley conjures a future filled with even more extreme
far-right zealots, savvy fossil fuel PR campaigns, and laws cracking
down on protesters as terrorists.<br>
<br>
Markley’s dark debut novel, Ohio, also took on a big social subject
— the opioid crisis — but focused on one single night in a
working-class town. The Deluge, by contrast, spans continents and
careens through decades’ worth of nightmarish scenes that feel like
they were made for Hollywood. (Markley has also written storylines
for the Hulu comedy Only Murders in the Building.) Stephen King, who
read an advance copy of The Deluge, called it “the best novel” he
read last year. That a horror novelist loved it tells you something.<br>
It’s rare to find a book that captures the complexity of the climate
crisis, from the real-life scientific projections to the social and
political trends, especially one that’s compellingly readable. I
called Markley to learn more about how he accomplished it. This
interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.<br>
<b>Q Let’s talk about the challenges of turning climate change into
really good art. It often feels like a book or movie is trying too
hard to inspire people to change their behavior, and that attempt
is almost distracting from the story. How did you deal with that?</b><br>
<br>
A.I identified a bunch of traps with writing about any big social
subject matter. Unfortunately, telling the reader what they should
believe is always a pretty surefire way to make a bad piece of art.
So even though I have, especially after all this time, very, very
strong opinions about the climate crisis, I was never using a
character as my mouthpiece, but rather looking at a variety of
opinions and ideas and trying to decide, “What would the human being
I’m creating actually think about this?”<br>
<br>
And in doing that, you have main characters who all want to do
something about the climate crisis, but are really annoyed with each
other, or actively despise each other. Because, much like in the
real world, everybody thinks they’re right about everything. It’s
getting at that real feeling when you’re in the midst of a crisis,
how human beings can splinter and decide, “No, I am right, this
faction is correct. We have to do it this way” — that sort of
polarizing atmosphere.<br>
<b>Q. Do you think that the polarization around climate change could
be fixed?</b><br>
<br>
A.Well, right now, no, absolutely not. There are people who are so
ideologically committed to not doing something about this, there’s
barely any point in trying to change their minds. Having said that,
I do think that as we change the industries, the politics will begin
to change. You know, I think that was one of the smartest elements
of the Inflation Reduction Act — scatter your investments in every
single congressional district and basically make it politically
impossible to dislodge.<br>
<br>
One of books that I really admired was Leah Stokes’ Short Circuiting
Policy, and the way in which clean energy laws in different states
have produced really different effects on Republican legislatures in
those states. In Iowa, where wind has become an enormous political
force, people have a different set of ideas about clean energy than
in Ohio, my home state, where it’s just been so much more difficult.
Part of the challenge that lies ahead is changing the industries
quickly enough to change the politics on the ground. I do think once
people’s livelihoods are invested in decarbonization, we will see a
shift.<br>
<br>
<b>Q.I’m from Indiana, so it was cool to see that so much of the
book was set in the Midwest.</b><br>
<br>
A.Yeah, it’s obviously partly because I’m from the Midwest. To me,
it was important to have characters who don’t believe in the climate
crisis or don’t care about it, and to see them on the ground living
lives that I think a lot of people can recognize.<br>
<br>
<b>Q.I liked how your book portrayed the PR messaging coming from
fossil fuel companies — one of the characters helps the oil
industry create a giant greenwashing campaign. Where did you get
that idea?</b><br>
<br>
A.It seems so cartoonishly evil, right? But people go to work every
day in these jobs, and they decide how to deny, delay, and stall
action on climate. You know, I’ve talked to a lot of those people. I
asked them for interviews on background and promised not to reveal
their names. I thought it was one of the most fascinating elements
of my work on the book, because you sit down, or you have a phone
conversation, and it’s just like, everybody’s a human being.
Everybody’s talking about their kids and their job and what they do
on the weekends. And I took that and put it into characters in the
book. <br>
<p>You know, I find that a fascinating piece of the puzzle, because
people like us who work on climate are filled with dread about it
more or less all the time. It’s like, “How can we not be moving
faster on this?” It is really mystifying. And so demystifying it
was something that was important to me personally. But it also
lent the book a very realistic vantage point.</p>
<p><b>Q Speaking of realism, we’ve been seeing disasters that keep
outpacing what climate models thought was possible, like the
heatwave in the Pacific Northwest a couple of years ago. How did
you decide what kinds of events were scientifically plausible?</b><br>
</p>
A.My thinking was, let’s go to the absolute outer edge of what’s
possible, first of all, to create a good Hollywood scene, but second
of all, because just in case one of them happens … I know that
sounds nuts. But let’s take the Pacific Northwest heat wave. When
that happened, I was editing the book, and suddenly I’m looking at
all my temperature numbers — like, “Oh, this was a record
temperature in London at this date, and this is a record temperature
in D.C. at this date” — and the numbers in the book all looked so
silly because of this insane heat that engulfed several provinces
and a few states. It was just totally jaw-dropping. <br>
<br>
I wanted to have the meteorological events in the novel be outside
of anything we’ve experienced yet so they couldn’t be usurped. And
there are a couple of big ones that are definitely on the outside
fringes of what is possible. I was living in L.A., and I woke up at
night, and everybody in the county got a text like, “Just in case
this wildfire destroys the city, prepare to evacuate.” Well, that
was terrifying. And that text message became a major chapter in the
novel.<br>
<br>
<b>Q.A few years ago, it felt like climate fiction was a pretty
niche subject. Do you think that’s changing?</b><br>
<br>
A.One of the things that bothers me about climate fiction — I don’t
want to disparage any author, because it’s really hard to write a
novel — but none of it laid out the real choices we have to make or
talked about the carbon lobby as an actual force in our society. I’m
painting with a really broad brush — I’m sure there are stories that
do this. But let’s look at the actual problem, and every single
issue that stems from it, and what to do about it. And when you get
into the nitty-gritty, that was a novel I wanted to write. So
nothing allegorical, just straight to the eye — what is the
situation we’re in and what do we do about it?<br>

Change Is Forcing Therapists to Mend Their Field</b><br>
BY MÉLISSA GODIN<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">1.30.2023</font><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font><font face="Calibri">The Frontline talks with the Climate
Psychology Alliance about the challenges of addressing
eco-distress in our current mental health paradigm.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Typhoons were normal in climate justice
activist Tori Tsui’s childhood. Growing up in a fishing town in
Hong Kong, Tsui was no stranger to tropical storms that would rip
through her city and community. Climate change consumed her
thoughts from a young age. <br>
<br>
“I remember so many sleepless nights,” said Tsui, author of an
upcoming book on eco-anxiety titled It’s Not Just You. “It was a
very visceral, very physical feeling that led to a lot of
turbulence in my early years.”<br>
<br>
Tsui struggled to find help. When she finally did, mental health
professionals failed to grasp what was making her unwell. “So much
of what I was labeled was stripped of any political
understanding,” she said. <br>
<br>
As Tsui grew older, she realized her feelings had a name:
eco-distress. <br>
<br>
Eco-distress is a term mental health professionals use to describe
the wide range of emotions people feel about the climate
crisis—from grief to anxiety to rage. It can be brought on after
living through a traumatic climate disaster but can also emerge
when an individual becomes overwhelmed by the existential threat
of climate change. Nowadays, that threat has become undeniable.
Just look at the recent floods in California or the warm winter in
New York. How can a person not feel overwhelmed?<br>
<br>
Last year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
acknowledged for the first time that climate change is impacting
people’s mental health. The IPCC validated what more than
two-thirds of American adults had already reported in 2020.
Research published earlier this month also found that survivors of
California’s deadliest wildfire—the Camp Fire of 2018—were left
with severe trauma that caused their brains to suffer cognitive
deficits and altered activity—impacts that inhibit a person’s
memory and information processing. Yet mental health services
across the world are struggling to keep up. <br>
<br>
This is the gap the Climate Psychology Alliance (CPA) is trying to
fill. Founded in the U.K., the CPA provides training to
therapists, psychiatrists, and social workers to help them
identify and address the emotional impacts of climate change on
their patients. It aims to equip mental health professionals with
climate-aware practices so that fewer people’s eco-distress goes
undiagnosed and unaddressed. <br>
<br>
In fact, the CPA is trying to rethink the discipline of psychology
entirely. Historically, the field has insisted that politics
should be left out of the consulting room. The CPA calls on
practitioners to do the opposite. The group asserts that social,
economic, political, and environmental events inevitably shape our
psychology. That the onslaught of extreme weather events and
depressing climate forecasts affects how we feel when we get out
of bed in the morning. That eco-distress is often a natural
response to unnatural circumstances. <br>
<br>
At its core, the alliance believes that the personal is political.
And that healing individual eco-distress requires inviting
politics into the consulting room.<br>
<br>
<b>‘A Different Model of Thinking’</b><br>
<br>
In 2011, a dozen mental health professionals working in the U.K.
convened in London for the first open meeting of the CPA.<br>
<br>
At the time, early research had established that nature could
provide psychological benefits. But the CPA members gathered to
flip the question: how does the destruction of nature impact our
mental health? <br>
<br>
The CPA has spent the better half of the past decade trying to
answer this question. The alliance has since grown—from 12 members
to 500. It expanded into the U.S. in 2017 with many members
starting smaller chapters in other countries, such as Portugal,
Japan, and Denmark. <br>
<br>
The CPA has been busy educating therapists in climate-aware
practices by providing training and workshops on how climate
change triggers emotions, how it intersects with other systemic
issues like racism or sexism, as well as what coping mechanisms
exist for dealing with eco-distress. The training highlights how
feelings of powerlessness and loss that emerge can be particularly
triggering for people with past trauma.<br>
<br>
But as the CPA develops its eco-distress training, its members are
struggling with the limits of mainstream psychology, which they
feel is ill-equipped to handle the problem. The CPA is asking
those in the field to reframe their understanding of mental health
entirely.<br>
<br>
Historically, psychology has been hesitant to link individual
wellness to structural societal issues. For decades, feminist
scholars and critical race theorists have criticized this, arguing
that in failing to acknowledge systemic issues, psychoanalysis
reproduces many of the inequities within our society. <br>
<br>
Studies have found that marginalized people often get diagnosed
at higher rates with mental health issues, like schizophrenia or
PTSD. Scholars argue this is because marginalized peoples’
struggles with systemic issues get pathologized: patients are told
they are the ones who are sick, not the system. This form of
therapy not only fails to tackle the root cause of people’s
distress; it also encourages patients to believe it is their
emotional disposition that needs changing, not the world around
them.<br>
<br>
“We’re trying to train therapists in a different model of
thinking, one that is much more culturally and historically
informed.” BARBARA EASTERLIN -- CPA FOR NORTH AMERICA</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">This vision of mental health is precisely what
the CPA wants to dismantle. The CPA is building on the work of
feminist and critical race theorists by saying that culture,
politics, economics, and the environment are embedded into the way
an individual feels. <br>
<br>
Much like issues of race or gender have been historically ignored
by psychotherapy, so too has the environment. Since at least 1955,
scholars have warned that neglecting the environmental dimension
of people’s lives would be the major downfall of cognitive
psychology. Today’s mental health professionals have inherited a
field that lacks sufficient research and training on how the
environment affects people. Luckily for them, the CPA now exists.<br>
<br>
“We’re trying to train therapists in a different model of
thinking,” said Barbara Easterlin, a steering committee member of
the CPA for North America, “one that is much more culturally and
historically informed.”<br>
<br>
The CPA does recognize that eco-distress can become a mental
health problem when people become stuck in grief, anxiety, or
rage. “If it’s causing us to quit our jobs, not communicate with
other people, not take care of our bodies, lose our housing,
that’s problematic from a functional standpoint,” said Andrew
Bryant, a Seattle-based counselor and therapist specialized in
eco-distress who manages Climate & Mind, a resource hub on the
topic.<br>
<br>
But the alliance cautions against over-diagnosing and
pathologizing eco-distress. The CPA is mindful that the climate
crisis inflicts greater emotional consequences on marginalized
people. Research has found that people of color in the U.S. are
more likely to be concerned about climate change than white
Americans because they are often more exposed and vulnerable to
extreme weather events. The CPA does not want to reproduce the
historic errors of the field by over-pathologizing frontline
communities instead of focusing on how broken our environmental
and political paradigms remain.<br>
<br>
“Eco-anxiety may just be the surface-level analysis of what is
ultimately a fractured relationship between people and planet,”
Tsui said. “I appreciate that CPA frames eco-distress as a natural
response to this issue and that we need systematic changes to deal
with mental health.” <br>
<br>
‘A Problem Shared Is a Problem Halved’<br>
<br>
When Tsui joined the climate movement, she not only discovered the
concept of eco-distress—she also found ways to cope with it. She’s
managed her feelings by participating in the youth climate
movement and writing about eco-anxiety.<br>
<br>
“My emotional resilience has developed over time,” she said. <br>
<br>
Research has found that working toward solutions alleviates
anxiety. That’s why many CPA members encourage their patients to
take climate action. “My personal goal is to move people into
activism,” Easterlin said. While she is not prescriptive about
what her patients should do, even the smallest actions, such as
volunteering or using less plastic, can alleviate symptoms. “It’s
helpful for mental health.”<br>
<br>
But individuals can’t find solutions in a vacuum. They need
community. <br>
<br>
This is the central tension CPA faces: it is encouraging people to
think about larger systemic issues within an individualistic
psychoanalytic structure.<br>
<br>
“I don’t think anyone in our organization is under the belief that
the individual therapy model is sufficient to the issues we face,”
said Rebecca Weston, the co-president of the CPA for North
America. “We are limited by the mental health infrastructure we
live in.”<br>
<br>
Bryant, a therapist, agreed. “[Individual therapy] is a gateway
entry point for people who are alone, but it’s not the
destination,” he said. “If they can find a climate-aware
therapist, they can move to the next step, which is connecting
with community.”<br>
<br>
“We are limited by the mental health infrastructure we live in.”
</font><font face="Calibri">REBECCA WESTON -- CPA FOR NORTH
AMERICA</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Research has found that belonging to a group of
like-minded people may be effective at tackling eco-distress. The
CPA has already begun experimenting with other models. The
organization has trained 200 people in the United Kingdom to run
what they call Climate Cafes, where people struggling with
eco-distress can participate in group therapy free of charge. The
alliance also hosts separate circles focused on young people and
parents who are looking to help their kids manage their distress.
Journalists and activists may also receive free counseling through
the alliance.<br>
<br>
“A problem shared is a problem halved,” Tsui said. <br>
<br>
Around the world, people are finding new ways to share these
feelings. In 2019, Iceland held a funeral for the first glacier it
lost to climate change. The Good Grief Network, a U.S. nonprofit
that organizes online peer-to-peer support sessions, has been
bringing people together to metabolize collective climate grief
since 2016. The organization Climate Awakening organizes thousands
of virtual small-group conversations about the emotional toll of
climate change. <br>
<br>
The CPA argues this is what we need more of—opportunities to
connect, to mourn, to imagine alternatives, collectively. <br>
<br>
“It’s not just about people living in isolation coming together
occasionally for therapy,” said Judith Anderson, the chair of the
CPA in the U.K. “It’s about people coming together, building
community so that they together are involved in change.” <br>
<br>
The field of psychology is quickly evolving, changing as quickly
as our planet. Ahead lies more questions than answers. We do not
yet know how eco-distress might look across cultures and
identities. How environmental trauma might inscribe itself in the
body. We will need to learn how to help a wildfire survivor who
has a panic attack each time they smell smoke. How to comfort a
child unable to sleep at night for fear of what their future
holds. <br>
<br>
These challenges are as difficult as they are numerous—but
perhaps the real challenge lies in our crisis of disconnection. A
crisis that has kept us separate from each other and from the land
that sustains us. Only by rebuilding these ties, might we find
healing. <br>

The climate crisis is affecting certain communities
disproportionately.<br>
<br>
And it’s Not Just the climate crisis… <br>
<br>
It's Not Just You is Tori Tsui's debut book exploring the
intersections between climate change and mental health from a
climate justice-oriented perspective.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">The term ‘eco-anxiety’ has been popularised
as a way to talk about the negative impact of the climate
emergency on our wellbeing.<br>
In It’s Not Just You, activist Tori Tsui reframes eco-anxiety as
the urgent mental health crisis it clearly is.<br>
<br>
Drawing on the wisdom of environmental advocates from around the
globe, Tori looks to those on the frontlines of eco-activism to
demonstrate that the current climate-related mental health
struggle goes beyond the climate itself. Instead, it is a
struggle that encompasses many injustices and is deeply
entrenched in systems such as racism, sexism, ableism and, above
all, capitalism.<br>
<br>
Because of this, climate injustice disproportionately affects
most marginalised communities, who are often excluded from
narratives on mental health. Tori argues that we can only begin
to tackle both the climate and mental health crisis by
diversifying our perspectives and prioritising community-led
practices. In essence, reminding us that It’s Not Just You. <br>
<br>
Tackling this increasingly urgent crisis requires looking both
inwards and outwards, embracing individuality over individualism
and championing climate justice. Only then can we start to build
better futures for both people and the planet.<br>
