<font face="Calibri">2024 ELECTIONS<br>
“More people are dying of bad climate change policies than they
are of actual climate change,” he said.<br>

<br>
GOP candidates during the first Republican debate argued over
climate change, with Vivek Ramaswamy calling the agenda over the
issue a hoax.<br>
<br>
“I’m the only candidate on stage who isn’t bought and paid for, so
I can say this — the climate change agenda is a hoax,” he said.<br>
<br>
“And so the reality is more people are dying of bad climate change
policies than they are of actual climate change,” he added.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Ramaswamy’s remarks were booed by the crowd,
and slammed by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who compared
to the entrepreneur to ChatGPT and former President Barack Obama.<br>
<br>
The question stared when Fox moderator Martha MacCallum asked: “Do
you believe in human behavior causing climate change? Raise your
hand if you do.”<br>
<br>
Before anyone could make a move, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took
the floor.<br>
<br>
“We are not schoolchildren. Let’s have the debate,” DeSantis said,
before launching into a response bashing Biden and the media.<br>
<br>
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, meanwhile, called for
China and India to cut emissions.<br>
<br>
“First of all, we do care about clean air, clean water. We want to
see that taken care of, but there is a right way to do it. The
right way is first of all, yes, is climate change real? Yes, it
is. But if you want to go and really change the environment, we
need to start telling China and India that they have to lower
their emissions.”<br>

<blockquote><font face="Calibri">Abstract</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Understanding how 1.5 °C pathways could
adjust in light of new adverse information, such as a reduced
1.5 °C carbon budget, or slower-than-expected low-carbon
technology deployment, is critical for planning resilient
pathways. We use an integrated assessment model to explore
potential pathway adjustments starting in 2025 and 2030,
following the arrival of new information. The 1.5 °C target
remains achievable in the model, in light of some adverse
information, provided a broad portfolio of technologies and
measures is still available. If multiple pieces of adverse
information arrive simultaneously, average annual emissions
reductions near 3 GtCO2/yr for the first five years following
the pathway adjustment, compared to 2 GtCO2/yr in 2020 when the
Covid-19 pandemic began. Moreover, in these scenarios of
multiple simultaneous adverse information, by 2050 mitigation
costs are 4-5 times as high as a no adverse information
scenario, highlighting the criticality of developing a wide
range of mitigation options, including energy demand reduction
options.</font><br>

</font><font face="Calibri">Paul Beckwith<br>
Aug 18, 2023<br>
A recent report on climate tipping points was published by the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
This group of folks is not known for hyperbole or exaggeration, so
when they publish a report on climate change tipping point risks
you better believe that the risks are extremely concerning.<br>
<br>
I chat about the extreme danger that humanity faces of crossing a
cascading number of tipping points as temperatures continue to
notch up, especially as discussed in my last video on James
Hansen’s latest findings. <br>
<br>
Humanity has its back to the wall on abrupt climate system change
whether it recognizes it or not, and clearly it does not.<br>

<font face="Calibri">The challenges we face are significant; but
they are not insurmountable. We still have the ability to change
the future, starting now. And the more we do, the better off we
will all be. This is literally what the science says: every bit of
warming matters, and every action and every choice matters, too.<br>
<br>
That’s why I am not giving up, and neither are millions of others.
I am not accepting our current circumstances as the new normal.
Throughout the world, there are companies transitioning to green
energy, voters speaking up, governments making progress, and
people fighting for climate action. Yes, there are harrowing
headlines; but there is also good climate news all around us...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">As I share in my talks, we find hope in action.
So here are some concrete steps everyone can take. First, stop
doom-scrolling. Seek out and share positive news, along with
information about how climate change is putting the people and
places we love at risk. Do something, anything, even if you think
it's small – but don’t stop there; tell people about it! Encourage
your place of work or school to make changes. We can’t do this
alone, but we can if we work together; so join a like-minded
community (I have a big list of them in my last newsletter). No
matter who you are right now, you’re the perfect person to act.<br>
<br>
What happens when we understand what we can do to make a
difference? As you can see from the word cloud below, from after
one of my talks, people feel motivated, empowered, determined, and
ready to go!...<br>

<blockquote><b>U.S. Report, in Shift, Turns Focus to Greenhouse
Gases</b><br>
<br>
By Andrew C. Revkin<br>
Aug. 26, 2004<br>
In a striking shift in the way the Bush administration has
portrayed the science of climate change, a new report to Congress
focuses on federal research indicating that emissions of carbon
dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are the only likely
explanation for global warming over the last three decades.<br>
<br>
In delivering the report to Congress yesterday, an administration
official, Dr. James R Mahoney, said it reflected ''the best
possible scientific information'' on climate change. Previously,
President Bush and other officials had emphasized uncertainties in
understanding the causes and consequences of warming as a reason
for rejecting binding restrictions on heat-trapping gases.<br>
<br>
The report is among those submitted regularly to Congress as a
summary of recent and planned federal research on shifting global
conditions of all sorts. It also says the accumulating emissions
pose newly identified risks to farmers, citing studies showing
that carbon dioxide promotes the growth of invasive weeds far more
than it stimulates crops and that it reduces the nutritional value
of some rangeland grasses.<br>
<br>
American and international panels of experts concluded as early as
2001 that smokestack and tailpipe discharges of heat-trapping
gases were the most likely cause of recent global warming. But the
White House had disputed those conclusions.<br>
The last time the administration issued a document suggesting that
global warming had a human cause and posed big risks was in June
2002, in a submission to the United Nations under a climate
treaty. President Bush distanced himself from it, saying it was
something ''put out by the bureaucracy.''<br>
<br>
That may be harder to do this time. The new report, online at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.climatescience.gov">www.climatescience.gov</a>, is accompanied by a letter signed by Mr.
Bush's secretaries of energy and commerce and his science adviser.<br>
<br>
The White House declined yesterday to explain the change in
emphasis, referring reporters to Dr. Mahoney, assistant secretary
of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and the director of
government climate research...<br>
- -<br>
''The Bush administration on the one hand isn't doing anything
about the problem, but on the other hand can't deny the growing
science behind global warming,'' said Jeremy Symons of the
National Wildlife Federation...<br>
- -<br>
The studies in the report that point to a human cause for recent
warming all involved supercomputer simulations of climate, which
have increased in power over the last several years.<br>
<br>
The latest analysis, done at the National Center for Atmospheric
Research in Boulder, Colo., found that natural shifts in the
output of the sun and other factors were responsible for the
warming from 1900 to 1950, but could not explain the sharp and
continuing rise since 1970...</blockquote>
