<blockquote>--Climate change poses a significant threat to the
economies of U.S. cities, with metro areas like San Francisco, New
York City and Phoenix among the most at risk of sea-level rise,
extreme heat and water stress, according to a Moody’s Analytics
report.<br>
<br>
-- The report calculates its forecasts based on two different risk
categories — the long-term exposure to drought, extreme heat and
sea-level rise as well as the short-term exposure to hurricanes,
wildfires and floods.<br>
<br>
-- “Absent policy changes, large coastal states like California,
Florida and New York are especially vulnerable, while more inland
northern economies will emerge only slightly worse off,” wrote
Adam Kamins, senior director at Moody’s.<br>
</blockquote>
The report, which assesses which cities are most vulnerable or
resilient to climate change, calculates its forecasts based on two
different risk categories — the long-term exposure to drought,
extreme heat and sea-level rise, and the short-term exposure to
hurricanes, wildfires and floods.<br>
<br>
“Absent policy changes, large coastal states like California,
Florida and New York are especially vulnerable, while more inland
northern economies will emerge only slightly worse off, with a
handful of small metro areas possibly benefiting slightly,” wrote
Adam Kamins, senior director at Moody’s and author of the report.<br>
<br>
Among the metro areas that are the worst off are San Francisco,
California; Cape Coral, Florida; New York City, New York; Long
Island, New York; Oakland, California; and Phoenix, Arizona, the
report found.<br>
<blockquote>1 . San Francisco, Calif.<br>
2 . Cape Coral, Fla.<br>
3 . New York, N.Y.<br>
4 . Long Island, N.Y.<br>
5 . Oakland, Calif.<br>
6 . Phoenix, Ariz.<br>
7 . Tucson, Ariz.<br>
8 . Wilmington, Del.<br>
9 . West Palm Beach, Fla.<br>
10 . North Port, Fla.<br>
</blockquote>
San Francisco is not especially susceptible to any one hazard, but
above-average risk from each category makes it the single-most
exposed large metro area, the report said.<br>

<b>Katharine Hayhoe in Conversation with Paul Beckwith</b><br>
Climate Emergency Forum<br>
Jan 14, 2023<br>
Katharine Hayhoe, who is a Canadian atmospheric scientist, chief
scientist for the Nature Conservancy, and a distinguished professor
in the political science department of Texas Tech University, joins
Paul Beckwith in a discussion that took place at the recent United
Nations CBD-COP15 event in Montréal, Quebec, Canada.<br>
This video was recorded on December 16th, 2022 and published on
January 14th, 2022.<br>
<br>
<b>Some of the topics discussed:</b><br>
- Climate anxiety and strategies to deal with it and what gives
Katharine cause for hope.<br>
- How we hold the future in our hands and if we allow ourselves to
be overwhelmed on a regular basis such that we don't do anything
about the climate and biodiversity situation, the worst case
scenario will happen. But if we fight with everything we have for
that small chance of a better future, that fight is what will give
us that chance.<br>
- The examples from the work of the Nature Conservancy. <br>
- Developments in the measurement of biodiversity through DNA
samples collected from water and on land and its benefits in terms
of our understanding of life on our Planet.<br>
- A very helpful analogy is described of the atmospheric predicament
we face, which was created by our greenhouse gas emissions, and how
it helps to clarify what actions must be taken.<br>
- How the urgency of our situation with respect to climate change
necessitates the need to improve scientific communication in terms
of facilitating access to scientific information in poorer countries
who lack the financial means and how this sharing can provide a
catalyst for change.<br>
- The need to use information from trusted sources, but also who are
telling compelling stories that connect our heads to our hearts, to
our hands.<br>
- How all of us have stories to tell about how climate change is
affecting us if we open our eyes to it.<br>
- And much more <br>

</font><font face="Calibri"><b>The Christian case for fighting
climate change is being tested in Eastern Oregon</b><br>
</font><font face="Calibri">By Antonio Sierra (OPB)<br>
Feb. 25, 2023<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">Like many Christian stories, the origin
of Climate Vigil began with an awakening.<br>
<br>
Peter Fargo, who founded the group, traces the idea back to the
birth of his son in 2019.<br>
<br>
“There was something about that moment with our newborn son that I
needed to get my attention,” he said. “That was when I said yes to
that calling in my heart and soul.”<br>
<br>
God was calling Fargo to an uncommon type of missionary work. He
left his job to dedicate himself to fighting climate change
full-time. And from his home in Baker City, Fargo plans to spread
his message across Eastern Oregon.<br>
<br>
Science and religion are often depicted as opposing forces in the
debate over climate change, but Fargo isn’t afraid to make an
explicitly Christian argument for environmentalism that he
believes can capture hearts and minds.<br>
<br>
In conservative Eastern Oregon, which has been battered by
wildfires, floods and decades of drought, he’s counting on his
message being especially relevant. And researchers are watching
Oregon, and rural America at-large, to see if these types of
arguments will break through in communities where these issues can
sometimes carry political baggage.<br>
<br>
<b>Psalms and prayers</b><br>
When Fargo thinks about the moral justification for fighting
climate change, he turns to his faith.<br>
<br>
He thinks about the Bible’s Book of Psalms: “The earth is the
Lord’s and all that is in the world, and all who live in it.”<br>
<br>
For Fargo, there’s something inspiring about thinking of the
planet — the air people breathe, the food they eat, the shelter
they take — as belonging to God. He describes it as an inspiration
and a responsibility.<br>
<br>
“The beauty and the glory of a mountain landscape of the
communities that are nestled between mountains and valleys here in
Eastern Oregon are just part of God’s creation,” he said. “And we
have a part to play in that.”<br>
<br>
This is one of the passages Fargo was wrestling with when his son
was born. Four years prior, he and his family had moved from
Colorado to Baker City, where Fargo worked as a public affairs
officer for the U.S. Forest Service. He had already begun talking
about the issue with his pastor, but something clicked when he
looked at his son...<br>
- -<br>
A few years after his son’s birth, Fargo quit the Forest Service
to dedicate himself to Climate Vigil, a religious organization
dedicated to raising awareness and fighting climate change through
public events, media productions, and eventually, political
action. He wrote a book called “A Million Prayers to Solve our
Climate Crisis” making a Christian argument for addressing global
warming.<br>
<br>
He also tapped into a pre-existing community that recognized an
intersection between Christianity and environmentalism. Fargo
worked with a group of Christian artists to release an album
called “Climate Vigil Songs,” a collection of hymns meant to raise
awareness of the climate crisis in communities less focused on the
issue.<br>
<br>
Fargo announced the album in Glasgow, Scotland, while he was
attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference. At the
200-year-old St. George’s Tron Church, he took part in a
candlelight vigil for the climate.<br>
<br>
As much as he’s worked toward connecting with like-minded people,
Fargo is also trying to persuade fellow Christians to care about
climate change. In the deeply conservative community of Baker
City, Fargo said the conversations he’s had have been productive.<br>
<br>
It’s a conversation pastor Wes Sheley was willing to participate
in, if not exactly make his top priority<br>
<br>
Sheley has preached all around the country for the past 26 years
and is now the associate pastor at Pendleton First Assembly of
God. He said his congregation has a diverse set of political
beliefs and ways of worshiping, but explicit discussions about the
environment aren’t common.<br>
<br>
“I wouldn’t say that we have a lot of conversations about the
environment, but we do talk about creation and how God created
everything,” he said.<br>
<br>
Sheley agreed that Christians have a duty to take care of the
planet, but added that his work is also concerned with life beyond
the “sliver of time” people had on Earth. Even a long life is
temporary, Sheley said, but eternity is forever.<br>
<br>
“God will return someday and restore his creation back to its
original creation,” he said. “We are still mandated as we live
here to take care of His creation, but also take care of our
neighbors as well.”<br>
<br>
While Fargo views fighting climate change as a struggle to save
God’s creation for future generations, for Sheley, Earth’s
ultimate redemption will arrive in God’s second coming.<br>
<br>
<b>Patriot Planet</b><br>
Finding ways to make discussions around climate change more
appealing and less politically fraught in conservative parts of
Oregon isn’t limited to the church.<br>
<br>
Less than a half-mile from Interstate 84 and above a vacant
mini-mart in Pendleton, a billboard displays a picture of Earth
cradled in a pair of hands. To the left of the globe and
underneath a segment of the American flag, the billboard blares
its message in all capital letters: “FOR GOD, COUNTRY AND PLANET.”<br>
<br>
In a conservative community like Pendleton, the basic message and
presentation doesn’t look that different than the nearby billboard
rented by the anti-abortion group Pendleton Right to Life. But the
purpose becomes much clearer once readers visit the website
advertised on the billboard.<br>
<br>
The homepage for Patriot Planet introduces visitors to Western
Washington University journalism professor Derek Moscato, who is
conducting a survey on “environmental protection and green
advocacy.”<br>
<br>
“This survey is interested in hearing from you about the
relationship between environmentalism, patriotism, and faith,
particularly as they relate to bipartisanship in rural and
nonurban regions of the U.S.,” the website states.<br>
<br>
Survey takers are asked whether they agree with statements like,
“Protecting the environment is a patriotic duty — we all have a
role to play” and “I am willing to come together with Americans of
all faiths to protect the environment.” It also asks them to rate
the quality of the billboard’s slogan, a message meant to convey
“patriotism, faith and protecting the environment.”<br>
<br>
In an interview, Moscato said he’s studied previous environmental
campaigns like “Clearcut Oregon,” a series of billboards from
environmental group Oregon Wild, which spotlighted the timber
industry’s clearcutting practices. Moscato decided to put together
his own billboard messages to see if this type of campaigning
could not only attract attention in Eastern Oregon, but also
persuade.<br>
<br>
Moscato chose Pendleton to pilot the study because it met the
requirements for the type of community he wanted to study.<br>
<br>
“It’s a community that really connects to a lot of rural issues
(and) has sort of a great tradition of farming, agriculture,
natural resources. So it hits a lot of those issues that a lot of
communities in the inland Northwest or the Pacific Northwest are
contending with when it comes to that interplay of rural issues
and environmental issues.”<br>
<br>
The professor said the website hasn’t collected enough data yet to
reach any statistical conclusions, but some of the early returns
show residents are interested in issues like sustainability,
wildlife conservation and clean air. Survey respondents also said
they wanted more attention from the urban part of the state.<br>
<br>
“I think one of the ways to really get at ecological protection
across the board is to take down those partisan barriers and to
really drive these issues at the local and hyperlocal level,”
Moscato said.<br>
<br>
He said he doesn’t expect the billboard to stay up much longer,
but his long-term goal is to expand the billboards across the
rural Northwest and into the Great Plains...<br>
- -<br>
<b>The climate, Christians and rural America</b><br>
Pro-environment stances aren’t uncommon in religious and spiritual
traditions outside Christianity. When the Episcopal Diocese of
Eastern Oregon turned over stewardship of some land in Union
County to tribal members from the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, their conservation work was guided by
the tribes’ creation story, which places water at the center.<br>
<br>
Research on Christians’ relationship with environmentalism has
produced mixed results. Early studies suggested Christians
followed the idea of “dominion over nature,” meaning God created
the Earth explicitly to serve mankind. More recent studies have
shown a “greening of Christianity’' as adherents have become more
environmentally aware over time. But a 2017 study pushed back
against this trend, stating that the data showed little evidence
Christians were more concerned about the environment than in
decades past and may actually be less.<br>
<br>
Journalist Meera Subramanian found conflicting thoughts on climate
and the environment from Christians through her own work as a
freelance reporter. Subramanian went on to co-found the Religion
& Environment Story Project, a group focused on the
intersections between religion and the environment.<br>
<br>
Following the 2016 presidential election, Subramanian traveled
through the rural U.S. to gather environmental viewpoints from
conservative communities, places at the “frontlines of the climate
crisis,” as a part of a series of stories she wrote for Inside
Climate News.<br>
<br>
Her stops included Wheaton College, an Evangelical liberal arts
college in Illinois, where students openly supported action
against climate change but also found themselves as awkward fits
in the political landscape. In rural West Virginia, a deadly flood
killed eight people in a small town, but some residents more
easily understood the storm as a sign of biblical revelation than
an indicator of climate change.<br>
<br>
“There’s all these gradations,” she said. “I think that’s where we
really need to recognize that white evangelicals – who often the
conversation revolves around when talking about resistance to
climate action in this country – that there’s a whole spectrum of
responses that can happen.”<br>
<br>
<b>Turning words into action</b><br>
In a country where politics and religion were traditionally
considered taboo subjects for polite conversation, Fargo has
noticed that talks about climate change can also be considered
uncomfortable and impolite.<br>
<br>
It’s something he wants to change by making an argument that could
appeal to Eastern Oregonian’s politically conservative side: In a
region that’s seen some of its hottest years on record over the
past decade, action is needed to protect farming, fishing, hunting
and the rural way of life.<br>
<br>
“It’s one thing to acknowledge that intellectually, and to see it
on a piece of paper or projected up on a slide,” he said. “It’s
another thing to have a conversation about that and what it means
for us as a community.”<br>
<br>
Quitting full-time work to pursue a life of climate activism
hasn’t come without its life changes.<br>
<br>
Fargo said Climate Vigil is operating on a “song and a prayer,”
and is being supported by his family’s savings. The organization
is also getting help from his church, the First Presbyterian
Church, and the body that oversees it, the Presbytery of Eastern
Oregon.<br>
<br>
Fargo’s early work took on a wide focus but a grant he’s getting
from the church will help him hone in on Eastern Oregon this year.<br>
<br>
He’s planning a series of Climate Vigil events, not only close to
home in Baker City, but also in La Grande and Pendleton. Fargo
will bring his Christian perspective to the events but said he
wants them to be open to all people regardless of their faith.<br>
<br>
He will also be working with other groups to look ahead to
November 2024, when they want to put a measure on the ballot
codifying the right to a safe climate in the Oregon Constitution.
Supporters expect this ballot measure would legally compel the
state to reach “net zero” – establishing a balance between
emitting the greenhouse gasses warming the atmosphere and those
being taken out – by 2050. That target would align Oregon with the
standard set by the United Nations and would up the ambition
compared to the previous climate goals set by the state.<br>
<br>
“When we think about the Declaration of Independence, many of us
think about the unalienable rights to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness,” Fargo said. “To have life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, we’re going to need a safe, stable climate
(and) temperatures within a range that we’ve enjoyed as humans, as
communities, since we planted the first seed in the first farm.”<br>
<br>
Fargo said the exact language of the measure is still “under
construction” but he thinks it could be a model for states across
the country regardless of a person’s political or religious
beliefs, should it pass.<br>
<br>
The ambitions are large, but Fargo needed both the science and his
religion to push him forward.<br>
<br>
“We have scientific, engineering, economic, political challenges
that we’re all wrestling with,” he said. “But unless I can get out
of my head and access the power of the heart, there’s not enough
motivation for me to respond, to change, to do what I can do.”<br>

</font> <b><font face="Calibri">10 Reasons to be Optimistic
(Without Being Naive) About Climate Change</font></b><br>
<font face="Calibri">These are dark times, but hope is not lost nor
foolish, and change has already begun.<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">BY JEFF GOODELL<br>
NOV 5, 2021<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">The 26th U.N. Climate Change Conference
got underway in Glasgow this week, and it already looks like a
slow-motion train wreck. The leaders of three of the biggest
polluting nations—Russia, Brazil, and China—aren’t there. The
national pledges that have already been made to cut emissions
won’t be met—and even if they were, they aren’t enough to avoid
catastrophic warming. Rich nations of the world are woefully
behind in their commitment to pay $100 billion a year into the
Green Climate Fund to help poor nations adapt to climate impacts
and transition to clean energy. The conference runs through Nov.
12 and new deals and commitments will emerge. But right now, given
the scale of the crisis we face, signs of urgency, ambition, and
leadership are hard to find.<br>
<br>
As Rob Larter, a scientist with the British Antarctic Survey, put
it in a tweet: “I think that in the main what’s going on is a lot
of politicians from many countries are trying to work out how they
can come out of it looking good without really committing
themselves to doing much.”<br>
<br>
But the climate fight is a big and complex war that’s being
carried out on many fronts. Even for experienced climate
warriors, it’s hard to keep the whole picture in your head at
once. The apathy and self-dealing in Glasgow are obvious. What’s
less obvious are signs of real progress.<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri">Here are ten reasons for optimism:</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>1. The worst-case scenarios for climate
warming have so far been averted.</b> It’s often argued that
the nearly 30 years of climate talks since the Rio Earth Summit
in 1992 have led to nothing. But that’s not true. A decade ago,
we were heading for a world 4°C (or more) warmer by 2100, which
would have been catastrophic for life as we know it. But now,
with the policies that are already in place, we’re heading for
just under 3°C, perhaps a little lower. With the official
pledges updated last month—if successfully translated into
effective policies—we would limit warming to around 2.5°C. And
since then, another 25 countries have updated their pledges. 2.5
C of warming is still horrific, but it’s far less horrific than
4 C.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>2. The price of clean energy is falling
fast. </b>A decade ago, the virtue of coal was that it was
cheap and plentiful. No more. Utility-scale solar power declined
in cost by 90% between 2009 and 2021. The cost of onshore wind
power declined by 70% over the same period. Even in Big Coal
states like Ohio, electricity from solar power will overtake
coal by the end of the decade.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>3. The Age of Accountability for Big Oil
has begun.</b> Last week, the U.S. House Committee on
Oversight and Reform grilled Big Oil CEOs for knowingly
spreading lies about the risks of climate change. Republicans on
the committee, led by James Comer of Kentucky, trotted out
30-year-old myths about energy independence and how fossil fuels
are the elixir of working families. But Democrats were
merciless. Kati Porter of California used M&Ms and bags of
rice to make a point about how much land the oil companies have
tied up in land leases. New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was
typically sharp about the dangers of life in a rapidly warming
world: “Some of us have to actually live the future that you all
are setting on fire for us.” The CEOs squirmed, fidgeted, and
blustered. Maybe it was all theater. Or maybe it was a
foreshadowing of climate accountability to come.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>4. President Biden’s climate agenda is
big, smart, and serious</b>. It’s been downsized and cut up.
It’s been ransacked and shanghaied by West Virginia Senator Joe
Manchin. But Biden’s Build Back Better Act, which includes $500
billion for climate funding, would still be the biggest
investment in clean energy and climate adaptation the U.S. has
ever made. It includes investments for virtually every aspect of
the economy, from clean energy transmission and storage to tax
credits for electric vehicles and the production of low-carbon
steel. Can Biden get it through congress? That remains to be
seen, especially after the drubbing Democrats took in this
week’s elections. The good news is that the U.S. is pressing
forward on other fronts, including new rules to limit methane
emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. Thanks in part to a big push
from the U.S., more than 100 nations signed a Global Methane
Pledge in Glasgow, vowing to cut methane emissions by 30% by
2030.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>5. Scientists are getting their game on.</b>
Michael Mann, Katharine Hayhoe, Gavin Schmidt, Andrea Dutton and
Andrew Dessler are all top climate scientists who have a knack
for calling out bullshit when they see it. And they’re calling
it out more and more. Mann has been particularly aggressive.
“Look no further than Australia, a country that deserves better
than the feckless coalition government that currently reigns,”
he wrote in The Los Angeles Times last week. As Mann points out,
Australia’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 26% to 28%
by 2030 is half what other industrialized nations such as the
U.S. and the European Union have committed to. Mann also roasted
Saudi Arabia and Russia for making a mockery of the Glasgow
negotiations by agreeing to “a laughably delinquent” date of
2060 for reaching net zero emissions.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>6. The fossil fuel divestment movement is
snowballing. </b>As activist and writer Bill McKibben noted
in The New York Times last week, $40 trillion in endowments and
portfolios has vowed to abstain from investing in coal and gas
and oil. “That’s bigger than the GDP of China and the U.S.
combined,” McKibben wrote. There is still a lot of money
sloshing around out there for fossil fuel development, but
slowing the flow from the spigot sends a powerful signal. Here’s
one sign of how well divestment campaigns are working: the West
Virginia Coal Association called divestment “the dumbest
movement in history.”</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>7. Increased focus on the link between the
climate crisis and public health</b>. A rapidly warming world,
researchers wrote in The Lancet, a prestigious British medical
journal, is exposing humans to searing heat and extreme weather
events; increasing the transmission of infectious diseases;
exacerbating food, water and financial insecurity; endangering
sustainable development; and worsening global inequality.
“Health is the vector for climate action,” Johan Rockstrom, the
director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research,
said in Glasgow. “It is what people care about, and what
motivates them to take action.”</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>8. The war on coal is getting serious. </b>China
has vowed to stop funding new coal plants abroad. Billionaire
Michael Bloomberg just launched a new crusade to shut down coal
plants in 25 countries. Bloomberg has already waged war against
coal in the US, helping to shut down 280 plants. Coal’s demise
can’t happen fast enough, but it is happening.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>9. Climate justice takes center stage.</b>
What do the rich polluters owe the poor who are suffering the
worst climate impacts? This has always been an issue at
previous climate talks. In Glasgow, it’s the issue. And climate
justice leaders, who see their very existence at stake in these
negotiations, are in no mood to play footsie with the leaders of
rich nations. As Fiji’s Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama put
it: “We Pacific nations have not travelled to the other end of
the world to watch our future to be sacrificed at the altar of
appeasement of the world’s worst emitters.”</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>10. Writers and artists are finding their
voices. </b>“Nothing will be saved without you.” That’s the
first line of a poem by Yrsa Daley-Ward, a writer of mixed
Nigeria-Jamaican heritage, which she read in the opening
ceremony in Glasgow. If there’s a better one-sentence call to
action for the climate movement, I haven’t heard it.</font><br>
