owing to climate change, drought, and over-use of water resources,
and is now one-third the size it was in the 1980s. A new
scientific report warns that, without dramatic and immediate cuts
in water consumption, the lake could vanish in just five years.

<b>Carbon dioxide emissions reached a record high in 2022</b><br>
By CATHY BUSSEWITZ<br>
March 2, 2023<br>
NEW YORK (AP) — Communities around the world emitted more carbon
dioxide in 2022 than in any other year on records dating to 1900, a
result of air travel rebounding from the pandemic and more cities
turning to coal as a low-cost source of power.<br>
<br>
Emissions of the climate-warming gas that were caused by energy
production grew 0.9% to reach 36.8 gigatons in 2022, the
International Energy Agency reported Thursday. (The mass of one
gigaton is equivalent to about 10,000 fully loaded aircraft
carriers, according to NASA.)<br>
<br>
Carbon dioxide is released when fossil fuels such as oil, coal or
natural gas are burned to powers cars, planes, homes and factories.
When the gas enters the atmosphere, it traps heat and contributes to
the warming of the the climate.<br>
<br>
Extreme weather events intensified last year’s carbon dioxide
emissions: Droughts reduced the amount of water available for
hydropower, which increased the need to burn fossil fuels. And heat
waves drove up demand for electricity.<br>
Thursday’s report was described as disconcerting by climate
scientists, who warn that energy users around the world must cut
emissions dramatically to slow the dire consequences of global
warming.<br>
<br>
“Any emissions growth — even 1% — is a failure,” said Rob Jackson, a
professor of earth system science at Stanford University and
chairman of the Global Carbon Project, an international group. “We
can’t afford growth. We can’t afford stasis. It’s cuts or chaos for
the planet. Any year with higher coal emissions is a bad year for
our health and for the Earth.”<br>
Carbon dioxide emissions from coal grew 1.6% last year. Many
communities, primarily in Asia, switched from natural gas to coal to
avoid high natural gas prices that were worsened by Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine, the IEA said.<br>
<br>
And as global airline traffic increased, carbon dioxide emissions
from burning oil grew 2.5%, with about half the surge resulting from
the aviation sector.<br>
<br>
Global emissions have grown in most years since 1900 and have
accelerated over time, according to data from IEA. One exception was
the pandemic year of 2020, when travel all but came to a standstill.<br>
<br>
Last year’s level of emissions, though a record high, was
nevertheless lower than experts had expected. Increased deployment
of renewable energy, electric vehicles and heat pumps together
helped prevent an additional 550 megatons of carbon dioxide
emissions, the IEA said.<br>
Strict pandemic measures and weak economic growth in China also
curtailed production, helping to limit overall global emissions. And
in Europe, the IEA said, electricity generation from wind and solar
power exceeded that of gas or nuclear for the first time.<br>
<br>
“Without clean energy, the growth in CO2 emissions would have been
nearly three times as high,” Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive
director, said in a statement.<br>
<br>
“However, we still see emissions growing from fossil fuels,
hindering efforts to meet the world’s climate targets. International
and national fossil fuel companies are making record revenues and
need to take their share of responsibility, in line with their
public pledges to meet climate goals.”<br>

<br>
Though emissions continue to grow at worrisome levels, a reversal
that would help achieve the climate goals that nations have
committed to remains possible, said John Sterman, director of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan Sustainability
Initiative.<br>
<br>
Nations must subsidize renewables, improve energy efficiency,
electrify industry and transportation, set a high price for carbon
emissions, reduce deforestation, plant trees and rid the system of
coal, Sterman argued.<br>
<br>
“This is a massive, massive undertaking to do all these things, but
that’s what’s needed,” he said.<br>

<i>[ Increasing Climate Anxiety ]</i><br>
<b>As climate changes, climate anxiety rises in youth</b><br>
BY DAVID SCHECHTER, HALEY RUSH, CHANCE HORNER<br>
MARCH 2, 2023 <br>
Kids often worry about much different things than their parents do.
One of the big ones is climate change. (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.cbsnews.com/climate-change/">https://www.cbsnews.com/climate-change/</a>)
Research shows most youth are "extremely worried" about it, leading
to a phenomenon called climate anxiety. Kids and young adults who
struggle with this can perceive they have no future or that humanity
is doomed. <br>
<br>
"We see that a lot of young people are saying, I think my life will
be worse than my parents' lives," said Dr. Sarah Schwartz, a
professor of psychology at Suffolk University in Boston. <br>
<br>
A study published last year collected attitudes about climate change
from 10,000 people across the world, aged 16-25. <br>
In the survey, 59% of youth and young adults said they were very or
extremely worried about climate change and more than 45% said their
feelings about climate change negatively affected their daily life
and functioning. <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/2023/02/24/2af83b13-489d-4a94-af38-2fcd310834cf/worried-1.jpg">https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/2023/02/24/2af83b13-489d-4a94-af38-2fcd310834cf/worried-1.jpg</a><br>
"So, they know that the world is going to get to be a harder,
darker, scarier place," said Schwartz. "And imagining themselves in
that world feels really scary for them." <br>
The study also revealed how climate change makes young people feel.
In all countries surveyed, nearly 62% said they were anxious about
climate change. About 67% said they were sad and afraid. <br>
Schwartz is researching climate anxiety. She said it's not a
diagnosis, but a valid response to the current situation in the
world, (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.greenrootschelsea.org/">http://www.greenrootschelsea.org/</a>)
and her research shows that three-quarters of young people report
worrying about climate change. <br>
<br>
"I don't think it makes sense as a disorder because, again, that one
assumes that this is a psychopathology of a few rather than the
majority," said Schwartz. "And then the goal is that it is this
individual disorder, where we treat at the individual level rather
than address the societal issues and the environmental issues." <br>
"People should be talking about it more since it's their planet,"
said high school student Johanna Flores. "They should be worried
about their health." <br>
Flores lives in Chelsea, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, where
she said there is so much jet fuel, road salt and heating oil stored
on the river it's hard for some residents to even get close to the
water.<br>
"And you wouldn't see that in a white neighborhood, like you would
see a beautiful view of the water," said 15-year-old Darien
Rodriguez, who also lives in Chelsea. "You wouldn't see any
industries, any like smoke and pollution." <br>
<br>
The students are environmental activists at a non-profit called
GreenRoots. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.greenrootschelsea.org/">http://www.greenrootschelsea.org/</a>
They work alongside adults, advocating for environmental justice
in their hometown by educating and empowering others to get
involved. <br>
<br>
"We're supposed to just partake in anything we can, like if there is
some sort of thing going on of planting trees, like participate in
that," said Flores. "Or if there's some sort of event, just even a
trash pickup, people should participate in that because it helps the
community so much." ...<br>
With a group so focused on the environmental problems in their
neighborhood, it's no surprise that they also worry about climate
change. <br>
"It's scary to think about what awaits the future generations and,
like, the world itself," said 16-year-old Greandoll Oliva. <br>
<br>
"I'm very concerned because I want to be able to have kids and watch
their kids grow up and have a family," said Rodriguez. "I feel like
I won't be able to experience that just because people are careless
about what they do and how they treat the environment." <br>
<br>
<b>Getting involved helps </b><br>
Schwartz said activism may be an effective way for kids to deal with
the feelings associated with climate anxiety.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-youth-climate-strike-youth-are-changing-the-game-on-climate-change/">https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-youth-climate-strike-youth-are-changing-the-game-on-climate-change/</a><br>
<br>
"Higher climate change anxiety is correlated with higher clinical
symptoms of depression and anxiety," said Schwartz. "But what we saw
was that for young people who have high levels of climate anxiety,
if they also have high levels of activism, then we didn't see any
higher levels of depression symptoms."<br>
<br>
Schwartz said the social aspect and peer support of activism is most
likely the biggest piece to help protect against depression.<br>
<br>
"That may mean signing petitions," said Schwartz. "That may mean
supporting other people who are the ones who are going to be the
face of, you know, who are going to be going marching up to Beacon
Hill over there," said Schwartz. "So, I think the idea of working
with a group."<br>
<br>
It could also mean building a "pop-up park" together in Chelsea,
like the kids at GreenRoots have done. <br>
<br>
"If there are more people working like this for a better future,
there can be a change," said 16-year-old Greandoll Oliva. <br>
<br>
"It helps me deal with it, like I'm not the only one," said
16-year-old Troy Arnold. <br>
<br>
"There are moments where you're just like, well, nothing's ever
going to change," said Rodriguez. "But then there's also that small
feeling that there's still hope that people will change, and people
will come together to help save humanity." <br>
<br>
<b>How you can get involved</b><br>
Schwartz said when people think of activism, they often think of a
protest or rally. She said there are other ways people can get
involved and work with others, too. She recommends some of the
following tools, guides, and resources: <br>

<font face="Calibri"><b>Background</b><br>
Climate change has important implications for the health and
futures of children and young people, yet they have little power
to limit its harm, making them vulnerable to climate anxiety. This
is the first large-scale investigation of climate anxiety in
children and young people globally and its relationship with
perceived government response.<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Results</b><br>
In response to our first research question, which was how children
and young people around the world report emotional, cognitive, and
functional responses to climate change, respondents across all
countries reported a large amount of worry, with almost 60% saying
they felt “very” or “extremely” worried about climate change (mean
score of 3·7 on a scale from 1 to 5 [SD 1·7]). More than 45% of
respondents said their feelings about climate change negatively
affected their daily lives; the proportion of respondents varied
by country but was consistently high (figure 1; appendix p 4).
Countries expressing more worry and a greater impact on
functioning tended to be poorer, in the Global South, and more
directly impacted by climate change; in the Global North, Portugal
(which had dramatic increases in wildfires since 2017) showed the
highest level of worry...<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Many respondents reported negative emotions;
feeling afraid, sad, anxious, angry, powerless, helpless, and
guilty were each reported by more than 50% of respondents (table
1; appendix p 5). The emotions least often reported were optimism
and indifference. Respondents also reported a range of negative
beliefs, with 75% saying the future was frightening (table 2;
appendix p 6). Among those who said they talked with others about
climate change (81% of the sample), almost half (48%) reported
that other people had ignored or dismissed them (table 2). Results
for thoughts and feelings about climate change varied considerably
by country but negative feelings were strikingly present in all
populations...<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">- - <br>
</font><font face="Calibri">To conclude, our findings suggest that
climate change, climate anxiety, and inadequate government
response are all chronic stressors that could threaten the mental
health and wellbeing of children and young people around the
world. This survey offers a preliminary overview; further,
detailed research is required to explore the complexities and wide
variety of climate feelings. Climate anxiety is a collective
experience,27 and based on our results, children and young people
would benefit from having a social discourse in which their
thoughts and feelings are respected and validated, and their
concerns are acted upon by people in positions of power. Climate
anxiety indicates the care and empathy that young people have for
our world. As one young person said: “I don’t want to die. But I
don’t want to live in a world that doesn’t care about children and
animals.”<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">As a research team, we were disturbed by the
scale of emotional and psychological effects of climate change
upon the children of the world, and the number who reported
feeling hopeless and frightened about the future of humanity. We
wish that these results had not been quite so devastating. The
global scale of this study is sufficient to warrant a warning to
governments and adults around the world, and it underscores an
urgent need for greater responsiveness to children and young
people's concerns, more in-depth research, and immediate action on
climate change.<br>

<font face="Calibri"> </font><font face="Calibri"><b>Opinion:
Bernie Sanders is right about capitalism</b><br>
by Kirsten Powers<br>
February 24, 2023<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">In his new book, “It’s OK to Be Angry About
Capitalism,” Bernie Sanders chooses the moniker “uber-capitalist”
to describe our current economic system — one that feels perfectly
designed to enrich a tiny few while making life miserable for
nearly everyone else.<br>
<br>
Other terms work just as well, whether it’s “hyper-capitalism” or
“late-stage capitalism,” to describe capitalism untethered to
morality or decency. Whatever you call it, it’s not working,
except for the super-rich, who Sanders aptly labels oligarchs.<br>
<br>
Some people would say that capitalism is immoral, no matter what
form it takes. But that doesn’t seem to be Sanders’ argument.
Rather than making the case for a Democratic socialist government,
Sanders appears to want a reform of American capitalism and to see
the country embrace a kind of New Deal liberalism.<br>
<br>
Sanders has said over the years that he sees Scandinavia’s
generous social safety nets as a model of the kind of system he
supports. In his book, he emphasizes an inspiration closer to
home: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt — in particular, FDR’s
insight that “true individual freedom cannot exist without
economic security and independence.”<br>
<br>
Any person who is living paycheck to paycheck, working to the
point of exhaustion just to survive and stay on top of their debt
surely recognizes this statement is true. How “free” is a person
really if all they do is work?<br>
<br>
How “free” is someone who lives with a debilitating health
condition because they can’t afford the medication or health care
that could cure them? How “free” is a person who starts adulthood
weighted down with a mind-bending amount of debt incurred just to
get the education they need to get a job?<br>
<br>
Many Americans are essentially indentured servants to an overclass
that continues to amass wealth and power, while failing to pass on
their largesse to their employees. Between 1978 and 2018, CEO pay
skyrocketed by more than 900%, while worker pay grew by just under
12%, according to a report by the Economic Policy Institute.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">These chronically underpaid employees are also
often treated as objects by their employers. According to an
investigation by The New York Times, “Eight of the 10 largest
private U.S. employers track the productivity metrics of
individual workers, many in real time.” Workers complained that
“their jobs are relentless, that they don’t have control — and in
some cases, that they don’t even have enough time to use the
bathroom.”<br>
<br>
This is not freedom.<br>
<br>
Americans work so much and are so bereft of free time that The New
York Times suggested in a series on New Year’s tips that you might
increase your happiness if you scheduled eight-minute phone calls
with friends and loved ones, and mutually promised to not go over
the allotted time.<br>
<br>
The craziest part is that it doesn’t actually sound crazy, at
least to an American. Much of what we consider normal here — such
as “hustle and grind” culture or working around the clock for
employers who would fire us without a second thought — is baffling
to our peers in many industrialized countries who prioritize their
mental and physical health and don’t suffer from a late-stage
capitalist productivity fetish.<br>
<br>
Major companies in the United States don’t just mistreat their
workers; they lack even a modicum of decency when it comes to
their responsibility to consumers and the society in which they
live. Today, we are a country where pharmaceutical companies
making record profits and paying their executives obscene amounts
of money price gouge on drugs that Americans need to survive.
Sanders has rightly blasted Moderna’s plans to quadruple the price
of the Covid vaccine, which was developed in partnership with the
government. (Moderna later announced its vaccines would remain
free.)<br>
<br>
Most people can’t even afford a home mortgage while a subsection
of society is plunking down cash for their new domicile. The share
of buyers purchasing a home for the first time is at a 41-year
low, while wealthy buyers are able to pay cash.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">“Only the wealthy are essentially buying
homes,” Lawrence Yun, chief economist at National Association of
Realtors, told The Washington Post. “If this trend was to
continue, that means something fundamentally is wrong with
society.”<br>
<br>
But we don’t need this trend to continue to know our society is
off the rails. The results are in. This system is not just unjust,
it is deadly: The US has earned the unwelcome distinction of
having the lowest life expectancy and highest suicide rate among
wealthy countries.<br>
<br>
Whether one agrees with the myriad solutions Sanders lays out in
his book to stop the scourge of uber-capitalism, there is no
question that he has accurately framed the problem as being about
freedom. The Vermont senator has been nothing short of prophetic
in warning against the dire consequences of a culture that prizes
productivity above all else and coddles and venerates the
super-rich.<br>
<br>
Perhaps most of all, Sanders has powerfully articulated — both in
his campaigns and his latest book — the profound lack of decency
and utter immorality of the current American economic system. Now
it’s up to all of us to decide what to do about it.<br>
