Jeff Berardelli)</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The Climate Pod</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Jun 21, 2023 </font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The record-shattering ocean surface
temperatures across the Atlantic over the last two weeks have
shocked anyone paying attention to the climate crisis. Ocean
surface temperatures are more than a degree Fahrenheit above
previous records, and climate scientists hadn't expected this
level of warming for decades, even in the worst case scenario
models. But is there more to the story than human-caused climate
change? Are there other factors contributing to this spike in
ocean temperatures? How likely is it that the ocean has surpassed
a tipping point that could spell disaster for marine life and all
of the lifeforms that depend on a healthy marine ecosystem,
including humans.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Jeff Berardelli, WFLA's Chief Meteorologist and
Climate Specialist joins The Climate Pod to answer these questions
and explain global warming's impact on the warming oceans and the
other causes of the extreme temperatures we're seeing. We also
discuss El Nino's potential impact on 2023's extreme weather, the
Texas heatwave, the early season hurricane forming in the Atlantic
Ocean, and a little history behind Dr. Ed Hawkins' Climate Stripes
as we celebrate International #ShowYourStripes Day.</font><br>

wildfires have been subdued. </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is
that they have worsened, and are producing even more smoke then
before. The only difference now is that the smoke is not being
transported your way since the wind patterns are different. Not to
worry, when winds become similar to that a few weeks ago (lot
pressure off coast, generating ccw winds blowing smoke from Quebec
and Ontario south and southeast to give hundreds of millions of
Americans that Mars experience (orange skies, minimal visibility,
darkness during the day, air you can’t breathe without a
respirator). If you happen to be unlucky, this smoke may even
coincide with a crushing heat wave, but you can always get a chill

reliability - Dave Roberts interview audio ]</font></i><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Steps toward a unified electricity market in
the western US</b><br>
A conversation with scholar Michael Wara.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">JUN 23, 2023<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">In about half the country, power
utilities have turned over administration of their electrical
transmission systems to regional transmission organizations
(RTOs), or what amounts to the same thing, independent system
operators (ISOs). RTOs and ISOs oversee wholesale electricity
markets and do regional transmission planning, which increases
system efficiency and reduces costs for ratepayers.<br>
<br>
The power utilities in the 11 western US states are not joined
together in an RTO. California has its own ISO, but it only covers
that one state. In the rest of the region, utilities are islands —
they each maintain their own reserves and do their own
transmission planning within their own territories. It leads to
enormous duplicated efforts and inefficiencies.<br>
<br>
For years, there has been discussion of creating a western RTO, to
bring the western states together to share resources and
coordinate transmission planning. Analysts have found that an RTO
could save the region’s ratepayers billions of dollars a year.<br>
<br>
Recently the discussion has begun to heat up again. A
regionalization bill in California was tabled this year but
promises to return next session. Governor Gavin Newsom expressed
his support for the idea. Nonetheless, numerous sticky technical
and political issues remain to be hashed out.<br>
<br>
To explore the promise and risks of a western RTO, I contacted
Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at
the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. We discussed the
political forces pushing for and against an RTO, the way the
west's electrical system has changed since the last time this
discussion came up, and incremental steps that can be taken in the
direction of greater regional cooperation.<br>

• Cripping Climate ... <br>
<br>
People with disabilities are the world's largest minority group and
are disproportionately affected by climate change. As disability
justice and climate issues collide, Cripping Climate Adaptation lays
bare the often disastrous consequences of overlooking people with
disabilities and illustrates the need to consider the unique needs
of people with disabilities and include them in climate adaptation.
<br>
<br>
Set to a lively visual backdrop of dance, music, and activism, this
documentary defines the incredible toolkit on adaptation from the
disability community, one that adds depth, texture and creativity to
get beyond traditional ways of how the environment is used. Let's
not miss out on this tool kit of ways of seeing."<br>

explanation ]</i></font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> </font> <font face="Calibri"><b>Using the
Concept of the Human Climate Niche to Quantify the Human Cost of
Global Warming</b><b><br>
</b>Paul Beckwith<br>
Jun 23, 2023<br>
A new peer-reviewed scientific paper recently published (first
author Tim Lenton) tries to determine the human costs from global
warming.<br>
<br>
Most studies look at monetary losses, but since huge inequalities
exist in how money is distributed among countries and regions and
individuals these dollar methods are highly inequitable.<br>
<br>
According to this paper, a better way to analyze costs is using
the concept of the human climate niche. Basically, when you graph
human population density as a function of Mean Annual Temperature
(MAT) you get a distribution with two peaks. The main peak is at
MAT = 13 C which is where most of the global north lives, and the
second, smaller peak is at MAT = 27 C where most of the Asian
monsoonal climates are. Most humans on our planet live in regions
that follow this MAT distribution since we have common physiology
and comfort levels with respect to temperature. <br>
<br>
Unprecedented climate is essentially occurring in regions where
MAT exceeds 29 C. Essentially, this paper determines what fraction
of the global population lives in regions with unprecedented
climate today, and what we can expect in the future. The human
climate niche curves of population density versus MAT will
obviously shift as our planet warms, and as our population and
demographics (population distribution versus age) changes. <br>
<br>
Results are that the 1.2 C global temperature increase we already
experience today (relative to the “pre-industrial” 1880-1910
baseline) has pushed 9% of the global population out of the human
climate niche already.<br>
<br>
When we reach global warming of 2.7 C, then between 22% and 39% of
the global population will have been pushed out of the human
climate niche, with huge fractions of the global population
exposed to unprecedented climate (MAT exceeds 29 C). Since MAT is
highly correlated to MMT (Mean Maximum Temperature) and WBT (Wet
Bulb Temperature) we know that over time humanity will be driven
by adverse climate into smaller and smaller regions of our planet
as the human climate niche shrinks our options of survivable
places to live.</font><br>

<blockquote><font face="Calibri">"The Supreme Court handed a major
political victory to the Bush administration today, ruling 7 to
2 that Vice President Dick Cheney is not obligated, at least for
now, to release secret details of his energy task force.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">"The majority of the justices agreed with the
administration's arguments that private deliberations among a
president, vice president and their close advisers are indeed
entitled to special treatment — arising from the constitutional
principle known as executive privilege — although they said the
administration must still prove the specifics of its case in the
lower courts.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">"'A president's communications and activities
encompass a vastly wider range of sensitive material than would
be true of any ordinary individual,' the court said in a summary
of the majority opinion written by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">"By sending the case back to the lower
federal courts, the majority removed a significant political
headache for President Bush and Vice President Cheney. As a
practical matter, the outcome today means that the final
resolution will not come until well after the November
elections."</font><br>
