South Korea is pressing on with the World Scout Jamboree amid a
punishing heat wave, rejecting a call from the world scouting body
to cut the event short.<br>
<br>
Hundreds of participants attending the annual event have been
treated for heat-related issues as South Korea grapples with one
of its hottest summers in years. South Korea, however, is
determined to keep the event going as the prime minister promises
additional safety measures.<br>
<br>
About 40,000 scouts from across the globe — including countries
like Canada — have come to the Jamboree campsite, which drew
criticism for lacking protection from the heat even before the
event began.<br>
<br>
Jamie Mauracher explains why South Korean officials have decided
not to cancel the event. <br>

<br>
David Wallace-Wells is back on the podcast to talk about the extreme
heat waves, off-the-charts ocean temperatures, massive wildfires,
and other climate-worsened disasters that have plagued the first
seven months of 2023. The New York Times columnist and author of the
2019 book "The Uninhabitable Earth" returns to The Climate Pod to
discuss what has happened since he was on the show back in 2021 and
what we should expect in the near future from a rapidly warming
planet. We also discuss how climate alarmism has been treated in
2023 and how best to convey uncertainty in climate risks.<br>

to Protest the Super Rich Fueling the Climate Crisis</b><br>
From the airport to a golf course, museum gala and private
mansions, activists confronted the extreme wealth driving global
warming, and the challenges facing grassroots organizations that
stand up to billionaires.<br>
By Keerti Gopal<br>
August 5, 2023<br>
</font><br>
The Hamptons placed second in a recent ranking of the world’s top
seasonal hotspots for multi-millionaires: the area has 25 year-round
residents with investable assets of $100 million or more, and hosts
more than 700 during the peak summer season.<br>
<br>
This year’s Hamptons’ actions were a continuation of an NYCC
tradition that began in 2020, when some NYCC members—mostly
low-income Black and brown New Yorkers—were unable to buy groceries
or pay rent during the pandemic, and saw the city’s wealthiest
inhabitants flee to their second and third homes in places like the
Hamptons. They organized a car caravan and brought more than 200
protesters to the Hamptons to draw attention to the wealth
disparity.<br>
<br>
Alicé Nascimento, NYCC’s campaigns director, said the Hamptons made
this divide particularly clear.<br>
<br>
“It’s this very dystopian, weird place,” she said. “It’s a kind of
version of what exists everywhere else, [but] magnified.”...<br>
- -<br>
The airport blockade was only the first of eight actions that
weekend organized by New York Communities for Change (NYCC), Planet
over Profit and Sunrise Movement NYC. In addition to shutting down
the airport—for which Shepherd and 13 other protesters were
arrested—the activists marched for a wealth tax with leaders from
the Shinnecock Indigenous nation, crashed an exclusive golf course,
stormed a museum gala, demonstrated outside the private homes of a
Citibank chairman and a private equity billionaire and stirred up
climate conversations at two high-end restaurants.<br>
<br>
The racially and socioeconomically diverse coalition of activists
sought to draw attention to the disproportionate role the
ultra-wealthy play in filling the atmosphere with greenhouse gasses,
advocate for a wealth tax to fund climate justice initiatives and
pressure top fossil fuel beneficiaries to stop funding
climate-warming activities. During their weekend together, the
activists also grappled with what it takes to win lasting change in
a stubborn world.<br>

Day 9<br>
Talk by William E. Rees: The Enigma of Climate Inaction – On the
Human Nature of Policy Failure<br>
MC: Alexia Ostrolenk, Ph.D Candidate in Psychiatric Science (UdeM);
Science Communicator (ComScicon-QC, BrainReach)<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
H. sapiens is a self-described intelligent species, yet seems
committed to destroying its own habitat. Human-induced climate
change, driven by carbon-dioxide and other GHG emissions, is one of
several well-known threats to global civilization. Nevertheless, 34
climate conferences and half a dozen major international agreements
in the past 50 years have failed to produce even a ripple in the
curve of exponentially increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
Climate change is accelerating. This presentation: 1) examines some
of the evolutionary, behavioural and cognitive impediments to
effective corrective action by governments and international
agencies and; 2) advances some ideological, political and
organizational changes that must be implemented at all levels of
society to avoid global climate catastrophe.<br>

Bio:<br>
William E. Rees is a human ecologist, ecological economist, former
Director and Professor Emeritus of the University of British
Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning. His research
focuses on the biophysical requirements for sustainable development
and on the cognitive, behavioural and socio-cultural barriers to
change. Best known as originator and co-developer (with his Ph.D.
students) of ‘ecological footprint analysis’, Prof Rees work is
widely recognized internationally. His awards include a Blue Planet
Prize (jointly with former student Dr Mathis Wackernagel), the
Boulding Prize in Ecological Economics, the Herman Daly Award (US
Society for Ecological Economics) and an Honorary Doctorate from
Laval University. From 2014 to 2019, Dr Rees served as a full member
of the Club of Rome.<br>

'Diabolical, Bond movie villain stuff. Where’s our James Bond? ]</i><br>
</font><font face="Calibri"><b>A Republican 2024 Climate Strategy:
More Drilling, Less Clean Energy</b><br>
Project 2025, a conservative “battle plan” for the next Republican
president, would stop attempts to cut the pollution that is
heating the planet and encourage more emissions.<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The blueprint throws open the door to drilling
inside the pristine Arctic wilderness, promises legal protections
for energy companies that kill birds while extracting oil and gas
and declares the federal government has an “obligation to develop
vast oil and gas and coal resources” on America’s public lands.<br>
<br>
Notably, it also would restart a quest for something climate
denialists have long considered their holy grail: reversal of a
2009 scientific finding at the Environmental Protection Agency
that says carbon dioxide emissions are a danger to public health.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Erasing that finding, conservatives have long
believed, would essentially strip the federal government of the
right to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from most sources.<br>
<br>
In interviews, Mr. Dans and three of the top authors of the report
agreed that the climate is changing. But they insisted that
scientists are debating the extent to which human activity is
responsible.<br>
<br>
On the contrary, the overwhelming majority of climate scientists
around the world agree that the burning of oil, gas and coal since
the Industrial Age has led to an increase of the average global
temperature of 1.2 degrees Celsius, or 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit.<br>
<br>
The plan calls on the government to stop trying to make
automobiles more fuel efficient and to block states from adopting
California’s stringent automobile pollution standards.<br>
<br>
Ms. Furchtgott-Roth said any measures the United States would take
to cut carbon would be undermined by rising emissions in countries
like China, currently the planet’s biggest polluter. It would be
impossible to convince China, to cut its emissions, she said.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Mandy Gunasekara was chief of staff at the
E.P.A. during the Trump administration and considers herself the
force behind Mr. Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States
from the 2015 Paris climate accord. She led the section outlining
plans for that agency, and said that regarding whether carbon
emissions pose a danger to human health “there’s a misconception
that any of the science is a settled issue.”</font><br>
