A damning new database reveals thousands of lobbyists are working
for fossil fuel companies at the same time they represent hundreds
of cities, universities, tech companies and even environmental
groups that claim to be taking steps to address the climate crisis.
We speak with _The Guardian_'s environmental reporter Oliver Milman.
"It's clear that the wielding of political power and influence is
far more important to them than staying true to any kind of ideals
of distancing themselves fully from the fossil fuel industry," says
Milman.<br>

<b>Dust storms are on the rise in the Southwest. That could harm
health.</b><br>
Exposure to dust storms can cause eye irritation and in some cases,
severe respiratory distress.<br>
by YCC TEAM<br>
JULY 5, 2023<br>
As the climate warms, parts of the American Southwest are
experiencing more frequent dust storms.<br>
<br>
“What happens is there is a mixture of drought or dry conditions,
higher temperatures, and reduced soil moisture, as well as wind,
that come together and create these giant walls of sand and dust,”
says Dr. Caitlin Rublee, an assistant professor of emergency
medicine at the University of Colorado.<br>
<br>
She says these events are harmful to human health. The airborne
particles can hurt people’s eyes, airways, and lungs.<br>
<br>
“In severe circumstances, they’ll have such difficulty breathing
that they’ll get something like air hunger whereby they have to come
to the emergency department and see me because they are just gasping
for air,” Rublee says.<br>
<br>
She was part of a team that analyzed data on intensive care unit
admissions and dust storms over a 15-year period. They found that
admissions for respiratory problems increased by an average of about
9% on the day of a dust storm.<br>
<br>
So as the Southwest gets hotter and drier, there’s a growing need
for doctors to educate vulnerable patients about the risks and for
early warning systems to alert people about possible dust storms.<br>

<b>Bill McKibben: Climate Crisis Needs Urgent Action as Earth
Records Hottest Temps Ever</b><br>
Democracy Now!<br>
Jul 7, 2023 Latest Shows<br>
This week unprecedented temperatures driven by climate change
shattered heat records around the world. More records could be
broken soon, as scientists say 2023 is set to be one of the warmest
years in the history of planet Earth. "We can't stop global warming
at this point," says Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org. "All we
can do is try to stop it short of the place where it cuts
civilizations off at the knees." McKibben says these temperatures
are the "inevitable result" of fossil fuel use, criticizes
politicians for their simultaneous embrace of renewable energy and
fossil fuels, and calls on activists to disrupt the status quo:
"This is the last of these moments we're going to have when the
world is summoned to action by events and when there's still time to
make at least some difference in the question of how hot it
ultimately gets." <br>

</font><font face="Calibri"><b>Guest post: Climate models
underestimate food security risk from ‘compound’ extreme weather</b><br>
</font><font face="Calibri">5 July 2023 </font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Climate change poses a risk to global food
security.<br>
<br>
Weather and climate extremes, such as prolonged drought, heavy
rainfall and heatwaves, can lead to harvest failures. These are
occurring with increased magnitude and frequency on a warming
planet.<br>
<br>
In addition, such events can disrupt supply chains, decreasing
food supply and leading to price spikes. <br>
<br>
Our previous work shows that when extreme weather events happen
simultaneously – such as a heatwave and drought at the same time –
this can negatively affect crop yields in major crop-producing
regions, known as “breadbaskets”. <br>
<br>
This co-occurrence constitutes a growing food security risk.<br>
<br>
In our latest paper, published in Nature Communications, we
highlight factors that can lead to low crop yields in several
breadbasket regions simultaneously. We also examine how well
state-of-the-art climate and crop models are able to reproduce
observed relationships. <br>
<br>
We find that climate models tend to underestimate the risks of
concurrent extreme weather events, potentially leading to “blind
spots” in our understanding of future implications.<br>
<br>
Complex climate risks<br>
Ensuring global food security under changing climate conditions is
a global challenge. <br>
<br>
Meeting this challenge relies on reliable projections of future
climate conditions, in order to establish reasonable and
preventive adaptation measures. <br>
<br>
Such assessments are not trivial. They rely on “coupled”
experiments that combine both climate models and crop models. The
projections must also be done for a range of emissions scenarios
in order to fully understand the risk. <br>
<br>
Climate extremes are rare, but impactful, events. The accuracy
with which we can determine future climate risks for agriculture
depends on the skill of climate models in accurately reproducing
their frequency and magnitude, as well as the crop models’
accuracy in simulating crop responses. <br>
<br>
Research shows that increasingly complex climate risks, in which
several extremes interact, are a direct consequence of rising
extreme weather trends. <br>
<br>
More and longer-lasting extremes translate to higher likelihoods
of consecutive climate disasters. <br>
<br>
For example, two hurricanes in a row hitting the same region;
several different disasters occurring at the same place at the
same time, such as concurrent heatwaves and drought; or multiple
disasters occurring at the same time globally, such as heatwaves
in multiple regions. <br>
<br>
Such “compound” events are usually associated with greater
impacts, often beyond the sum of the effects had each disaster
occurred in isolation. Interacting effects put extra stress on
existing vulnerability, disaster preparedness and disaster
response measures. <br>
<br>
For instance, heatwaves are particularly disastrous for local crop
production if they occur in unison with intense drought
conditions. Consecutive heatwaves in a region can cause crops to
fail that might have survived a solo event. <br>
<br>
‘Breadbaskets’<br>
From a global food security perspective, simultaneous extremes are
particularly problematic as they could lead to harvest failures in
several crop-producing regions – known as “breadbaskets” – at
the same time. <br>
<br>
As a result, countries that rely heavily on crop imports could
experience heightened food insecurity, as global scarcity could
lead to price spikes and even result in national export bans.<br>

We've always said that environmentalism needs to understand class
if it wants to protect the world from climate catastrophe.
Degrowth has been accused by some on the Left as green austerity
or just a terrible political message.<br>
<br>
To debunk degrowth myths and to discuss why class is at the heart
of any just transition and a degrowth economy we are join by Jason
Hickel. Jason is the author of"Less is More: How Degrowth Will
Save the World" and a world-leading scientist and scholar on
Degrowth.<br>
<br>
We discuss how class politics and environmentalism should work in
tandem, why capitalism can't stop the climate crisis, why
Universal Basic Services (UBS) is at the heart of a Degrowth
economy, how trade unions need to remember their radical past and
how the EU conference on beyond growth is opening the doors for
more radical policy in Europe.<br>

</font><b>Degrowth and Ecosocialism | Jason Hickel</b><br>
Planet: Critical<br>
Mar 17, 2022 #education #politics #democracy<br>
Economic anthropologist, Jason Hickel, is one of the leading
degrowth researchers leading the charge for ecosocialism. He says if
we limit the energy demands of the elite and hungry multinational
corporations, reimagining economics to support and nurture human
dignity, we could stay within our planetary boundaries—and lift the
entire world out of poverty.<br>
<br>
Degrowth proves putting people over profit would be good for the
planet. Some of the most exciting policies include shortening the
work week, providing universal basic services, and redistributing
income. As we discuss, it’s a form of environmentalism that could
join forces with the labour movement to dictate massive, sweeping
global changes that could provide a better quality of life for every
living being on earth.<br>
