<i>[ VP speaks in Colorado ]</i><br>
<b>Vice President Kamala Harris spoke about climate change to Arvada
crowd</b><br>
Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen and world-class climber Sasha
DiGiulian discussed the issue in Arvada Monday.<br>
By NICK COLTRAIN | <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ncoltrain@denverpost.com">ncoltrain@denverpost.com</a> | The Denver Post<br>
PUBLISHED: March 6, 2023 .<br>
ARVADA — Vice President Kamala Harris highlighted the complexities
and interconnected challenges posed by climate change during a visit
to the Denver metro area Monday.<br>
<br>
Harris, a Democrat, spoke to an at-capacity, 500-person auditorium,
and overflow rooms at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities.
Dozens of state and local elected officials were in attendance. She
was joined by newly elected Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen, of
Lakewood, and world-class rock climber Sasha DiGiulian, of Boulder.<br>
<br>
The three Westerners — Harris is from California — noted the extreme
threat climate change and the drought it drives pose to the region.
Harris, who landed at Denver International Airport from Los Angeles,
recalled the much-needed snow covering the California mountains as
she left. But also the danger the snowpack posed if it melted into a
flood. She called it a weather whiplash.<br>
<br>
“We’re looking at everything from drought to extreme rain and snow,”
Harris said. “Here in Colorado, I don’t need to tell you what that
has meant.”<br>
She did not tout any specific new proposals from the federal
government but highlighted new technologies and ways of thinking
about the challenges. Building off the flood example, Harris noted
efforts to pivot from treating floods as pure disasters in need of
mitigation as also opportunities to capture water before it rushes
into the ocean. She also noted new satellite technology that helps
track water sources from space and how it can help steer policy.<br>
<br>
While acknowledging that water issues are interconnected — and
highlighting the Colorado River as a specific example of that — she
did not wade into the controversy and brewing fights over the rights
to the West’s aquatic artery.<br>
<br>
Pettersen, who has a young son, noted how much climate change has
already changed daily life in the state. She recalled playing
outdoors regularly as she grew up in Jefferson County. Now, air
quality days cancel sporting events and lead to warnings to keep
kids indoors, she said.<br>
<br>
“We have to stop just talking about our obligation for the next
generation — and believe me that motives me more than anything now,
having a young son — but we need to talk about what is happening
right now,” Pettersen said.<br>
<br>
Two of the introductory speakers, Shere Walker-Ravenell of the Black
Parents United Foundation and Olga Gonzalez of Cultivando, each
talked about how climate change and pollution disproportionately
affect communities of color and poorer communities. Gonzalez
specifically cited pollution from the Suncor oil refinery...<br>
“We ask you to join us in pushing for regulations that actually
protect human health so that our children do not continue to be
sacrificed for the sake of cheaper gasoline,” Gonzalez said...<br>

<font face="Calibri"><b>A strong Blocking system is forming over
Greenland, changing the Weather patterns across Northern
Hemisphere as we head into Spring</b><br>
By AuthorAndrej Flis<br>
Published: 05/03/2023<br>
Weather pattern changes have begun over the Northern Hemisphere,
with a blocking high-pressure system building over Greenland. This
is a result of the Stratospheric warming event and the collapse of
the Polar Vortex circulation. The main effects will be felt across
North America and over northern Europe.<br>
<br>
The Sudden Stratospheric Warming event (SSW) has left a strong
mark on the Polar weather circulation and the atmosphere.<br>
<br>
As a result, a significant high-pressure blocking system is
building over Greenland and will impact the entire North American
region and Europe in the coming weeks.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION AND WEATHER</b><br>
The processes that have initiated the upcoming pattern change are
underway in different parts of the atmosphere. This is because
there are many layers to the atmosphere, and our weather unfolds
in the lowest layer of the atmosphere, called the Troposphere.<br>
<br>
But above that, we have the Stratosphere, also the home of the
ozone layer. Both layers have their own circulation and are
connected in many different ways. The main overall circulation is
what we call the Polar Vortex.<br>
<br>
For this reason, we tend to separate the entire Polar Vortex into
an upper (stratospheric) and a lower (tropospheric) part. They
both play their role differently, so we monitor them separately.
But how they are connected is also very important—image by
NOAA-Climate...<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">We monitor any Polar Vortex activity because it
can affect weather across the entire Northern Hemisphere. And it
can impact the weather differently, depending if it is weak or
strong.<br>
<br>
A strong Polar Vortex usually means strong polar circulation. This
locks the colder air into the Arctic circle, creating milder
conditions for most of the United States and Europe.<br>
<br>
In contrast, a weak Polar Vortex creates a weak jet stream
pattern. As a result, it has a harder time containing the cold
air, which can now escape from the polar regions into the United
States and Europe—Image by NOAA.<br>

<blockquote><font face="Calibri">-- Risky feedback loops that are
accelerating global climate change may not be fully accounted
for in current climate models, according to a recent study
published in the scientific journal One Earth.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">-- A group of international scientists
reviewed climate literature to identify 41 climate feedback
loops, 27 of which are accelerating global warming.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">-- One instance of a positive feedback
loop is that warming in the Arctic has led to melting sea ice,
which has prompted even more warming because water has a darker
surface than ice and therefore absorbs more heat...</font><br>
</blockquote>
<font face="Calibri">A group of international scientists from
institutions like Oregon State University, Exeter University and
the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany,
identified 41 climate feedback loops in what they called “the most
extensive list available of climate feedback loops.” Of these,
they discovered 27 amplifying feedback loops that are accelerating
global warming and only seven that are slowing it.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">A feedback loop is a cyclical chain reaction
that either speeds up or slows down warming. An amplifying, or
positive, feedback loop is the process in which an initial change
that prompts temperature rise triggers another change that causes
even more temperature rise.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<p><font face="Calibri">“Consequently, the effects of greenhouse gas
emissions could be underestimated and strong climate mitigation
policies are needed,” Wolf added.</font></p>
<font face="Calibri">Other dangerous feedback loops include the
thawing of permafrost, or the frozen ground that underlies much of
the Arctic and contains plant and animal remains. As temperature
rise accelerates the thaw of permafrost, the organic matter in the
frozen layer breaks down and releases carbon dioxide and methane
gas into the atmosphere.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Tim Lenton, an Earth systems scientist at the
University of Exeter and one of the study co-authors, said the
results suggest that the amplification of climate change could be
greater than expected.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“That is yet another reason to accelerate
action to limit global warming – because that also limits how much
it is going to get amplified by the feedbacks in the climate
system,” Lenton said.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Some feedback loops may also be associated with
key climate tipping points that could significantly disrupt the
global climate system, researchers said. For example, feedback
loops that are driving ice melt in the Arctic could ultimately
trigger the collapse of the Greenland ice sheet.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“In the worst case, if positive feedbacks are
sufficiently strong, this could result in tragic climate change
outside the control of humans,” researchers wrote.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“It is too late to fully prevent the pain of
climate change as severe impacts are already being felt, but if we
can have a much better understanding of feedback loops and make
the needed transformative changes soon while prioritizing basic
human needs, there might still be time to limit the harm,” they
wrote.</font><br>

<font face="Calibri">Many feedback loops significantly increase
warming due to greenhouse gas emissions. However, not all of these
feedbacks are fully accounted for in climate models. Thus,
associated mitigation pathways could fail to sufficiently limit
temperatures. A targeted expansion of research and an accelerated
reduction of emissions are needed to minimize risks.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Summary</b><br>
The first step in curbing the near-term climate impacts and
minimizing the risk of an eventual catastrophic outcome is for us
to expand our awareness of the severity of our predicament.18
Thus, we have described an extensive set of potentially harmful
feedback loops to increase our understanding, justify a more
serious response, and motivate work into less probable but
dangerously underexplored scenarios.18<br>
It is too late to fully prevent the pain of climate change as
severe impacts are already being felt, but if we can have a much
better understanding of feedback loops and make the needed
transformative changes soon while prioritizing basic human needs,
there might still be time to limit the harm. Even if it turns out
that feedbacks are already sufficiently characterized, these
changes will provide enormous benefits to human well-being and the
entire biosphere. Conversely, if the worst-case risks posed by
feedback loops and tipping points have been underestimated, the
future of a hospitable planet Earth may be at stake.<br>

<b>US got a record-breaking 40% of its energy from carbon-free
sources in 2022, report reveals</b><br>
By Angela Symons • Updated: 3/5/2023 <br>
Carbon-free sources supplied over 40 per cent of the US’s total
energy output in 2022, a new report reveals. This is an all-time
high.<br>
<br>
The figure combines renewable generation - such as solar, wind and
hydro - and nuclear power. Nuclear and hydropower remained at
similar levels to previous years, so the majority of this increase
comes from wind and solar.<br>
<br>
The data comes from the Sustainable Energy in America 2023 Factbook,
which pulls from various sources on US energy. It is produced by the
Business Council for Sustainable Energy...<br>
The report also shows that electric vehicle (EV) sales surged by 50
per cent in 2022 with nearly 982,000 new cars sold.<br>
<br>
What is the outlook for sustainable energy in the US?<br>
In 2022, construction of renewables facilities in the US slowed
slightly compared to previous years due to supply chain issues and
inflation...<br>

<i><font face="Calibri">[ an interview from the Web site WORTH ]</font></i><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>The Connection Between Global Health &
Global Warming</b><br>
Dr. Larry Brilliant discusses his time in an ashram, eradicating
small pox, and how humans are the most invasive species on the
planet.<br>
</font><br>
<b>You have done enormous research and communication around the
pandemic. What’s the connection between global health and global
warming, particularly concerning pandemics?</b><br>
The primary connection is that the antecedent causes of climate
change and global warming are many of the exact antecedent causes of
pandemics. As the Earth gets warmer, animals from the south migrate
to the north. Over a billion more people are at risk of malaria
right now because the Anopheles mosquito can now breed at higher
altitudes and greater latitudes. Animals meeting other animals
carrying the same viruses leads to variants. We’re having a
tremendous amount of spillover because the forests and rainforests
are being clear-cut. <br>
<br>
I was the science advisor on the film Contagion. We tried to make a
movie that would be a fictional representation of what we thought
would happen. We didn’t expect to get it so close. But the whole
premise was a bat with a virus enters the human environment, which
is what happened with COVID—and with SARS, and probably with MERS
and Ebola. <br>
<br>
Fossil fuels create greenhouse gases, leading to global warming. And
with that, you wind up changing the way water works, the way salt
works, and the entire ecosystem of the planet. The same things that
cause climate change cause spillover, where animals and humans live
in each other’s territory. Spillover is occurring now at five times
the rate that it did 50 years ago. Every year one, two, or three new
novel diseases that have never been seen in human beings are
spilling over from animals, and we’re exposed to them...<br>
- -<br>
<b>The theme of our conference is innovation must save the world. Do
you think innovation is going to help us save the world?</b><br>
A lot of innovations are pretty terrible. Nuclear weapons are an
innovation that hasn’t really worked out. But I hope innovation is
going to make a big difference. In the fight against COVID, for
example, DARPA worked on mRNA technology for years, and as a result,
we had it ready to convert into vaccines. That quickly saved
millions and millions of lives. <br>
<br>
But the innovation we need is a total change in human consciousness
about compassion, altruism, and stopping to think of others as
others. When I think of innovation, I think of the infrastructure of
how we allocate resources and the decisions we make. To have
innovations that are going to have enduring value, we have to help
bridge the gap between the rich and the poor, and do equitable
redistribution of the resources that we need to make the world a
better place. We’ve got to focus on vision and values. ...<br>

ABC, whose climate coverage dropped by 59 percent; the only

that increase largely consisted of criticism of efforts to address
climate change. When the networks did discuss climate change, they
rarely addressed its impacts on national security, the economy, or
public health, yet most still found time to provide a forum for
climate science denial. On a more positive note, CBS and NBC --
