Heaven's punishment hit Saudi Arabia! The worst flood and storms in
Mecca..<br>
- -<br>
Mecca, one of Islam's holiest cities, is facing nature's wrath as
severe storms descend upon the region.<br>
Thunderstorms have unleashed their fury, with thunder and lightning
lighting up the sky, causing alarm among the city's inhabitants.<br>
Local authorities are working tirelessly to respond to the
emergency, with emergency services on high alert.<br>
The rainfall has been incessant, leading to flash floods that have
inundated streets and caused widespread disruption.<br>
Many historic sites in Mecca, including the Grand Mosque, are now at
risk of damage due to the flooding.<br>
Pilgrims who had come to Mecca for religious reasons are being
affected by the inclement weather, causing further concern for the
city.<br>
Roads and transportation have been severely impacted, with many
streets impassable and public transportation services suspended.<br>
The heavy rainfall is causing rivers to swell, exacerbating the
flooding situation and posing additional challenges for rescue and
relief efforts.<br>
Local residents have been advised to stay indoors, and authorities
have opened emergency shelters to accommodate those displaced by the
floods.<br>
Power outages are also reported in several areas, causing additional
difficulties in communication and response.<br>
Saudi Arabia's meteorological agency has issued warnings for further
rainfall and storms in the coming days, compounding the urgency of
the situation.<br>
Aerial surveys are being conducted to assess the extent of the
damage and to identify areas in most urgent need of assistance.<br>
Local volunteers and civil defense teams are working around the
clock to rescue those trapped in their homes or vehicles due to the
flooding.<br>
The international community is closely monitoring the situation and
offering assistance as needed.<br>
Mecca's residents are showing remarkable resilience and solidarity
in the face of this natural disaster.<br>
The challenges are immense, but the spirit of Mecca remains
unbroken, as the city strives to recover from this unprecedented
onslaught of storms and flooding.<br>

<b>Who supports climate justice in the U.S.?</b><br>

CLIMATE NOTE · Nov 7, 2023<br>
Climate change is harming people in the United States and around the
world. While climate change harms people from all walks of life,
those who have done the least to cause climate change often suffer
the most, while those who have emitted the most carbon pollution
often suffer the least. Climate change also exacerbates existing
vulnerabilities, including those based on personal factors (such as
age or existing health issues) and social factors (such as systemic
racism and poverty). Moreover, investments in climate change
solutions, such as flood protection or renewable energy, often tend
to benefit people and communities who are already advantaged.<br>
<br>
Climate justice focuses on considering the needs of everyone and
addressing these inequities head-on. The goals of climate justice
include reducing the unequal harms of climate change, providing
equitable benefits from climate solutions, and involving affected
communities in decision-making. Organizers in the broader
environmental justice field have advanced climate justice for
decades, including during the first Climate Justice Summit in 2000
at the 6th United Nations Conference of Parties climate negotiations
(COP6). As a result, climate justice has become a core part of the
climate movement, including both federal and local government action
to address climate change in the United States.<br>
<br>
While climate justice is an important issue, many Americans are not
yet familiar with it. According to our recent report, only about one
in three Americans (34%) say they have heard or read at least “a
little” about climate justice, while most (65%) say they have not
heard of it. However, after reading a brief description of climate
justice, about half of Americans (53%) say they support it, while
large majorities of registered voters support climate
justice-related policies.<br>
<br>
Here, we use data from our latest Climate Change in the American
Mind survey (April, 2023; n = 1,011) to identify the demographic
groups who are least familiar with climate justice but most
supportive of, and willing to vote for, climate justice after
learning about it. Results by political party and ideology are
included in the original report. (Note: Due to sample size
limitations among racial/ethnic groups, we can only compare the
three largest racial/ethnic groups in the U.S.: White
(non-Hispanic/Latino), Black (non-Hispanic/Latino), and
Hispanic/Latino adults.)<br>
<br>
<b>Results</b><br>
Climate Justice Awareness and Support<br>
<br>
In the survey, respondents were first asked how much they have heard
or read about climate justice. After responding to that initial
question, respondents were given a brief description of the goals of
climate justice then asked how much they support or oppose them. The
description read, “Climate justice refers to the idea that global
warming affects everyone, but certain communities are harmed more
than others, especially low-income communities and communities of
color. The goals of climate justice are to reduce these unequal
harms, include these communities in decision-making, and ensure they
receive a fair share of the benefits of climate action (such as good
jobs, cleaner air and water, better health, etc.).”<br>
<br>
The groups who are least likely to know about climate justice
include adults in the United States who have a high school education
or less (only 10% know “some” or “a lot”), have some college
education (13%), earn less than $50,000 per year (12%), are Black
(12%), or live in rural areas (13%). Black adults, however, were the
group with the highest level of support for climate justice (70%)
after reading a description of it. Other demographic groups with
high levels of support for climate justice after reading about it
included adults in the U.S. who: are Hispanic/Latino(66%), have a
Bachelor’s degree or higher (61%), or live in urban areas (61%).
Overall, the groups with the largest gaps between having heard about
climate justice (prior to reading a description) and supporting
climate justice (after reading a description) were Black adults (12%
said they know “a lot” or “some” about climate justice while 70%
said they support its goals – a difference of 58 percentage points),
followed by Hispanic/Latino adults, women, and those earning less
than $50,000 per year (each with a difference of 45 percentage
points).<br>
- -<br>
Voting for Candidates Who Support Climate Justice<br>
<br>
About four in ten U.S. adults (43%) said they would be more likely
to vote for a candidate who supports climate justice (while 21% said
they would be less likely and 34% said it makes no difference either
way). The groups who were most likely to say they would vote for a
candidate who supports climate justice include adults in the U.S.
who are Black (62%), live in urban areas (53%), or are
Hispanic/Latino (51%). While only about one-third of adults who live
in rural areas (31%) or are White (34%) say they would be more
likely to vote for a candidate who supports climate justice, many in
both groups say that a candidate’s climate justice stance “makes no
difference either way” (38% of people in rural areas and 35% of
White adults).<br>
<br>
The results indicate important opportunities for climate and
environmental justice organizations in the United States. Many
adults in the U.S. who are Black, Hispanic/Latino, women, or who
have lower incomes, know little to nothing about climate justice –
but most people in these groups support it when they learn about it.
Notably, these groups also face greater harm from climate change
impacts. Climate and environmental justice organizations have
already made significant efforts to raise public awareness of, and
promote political action on, these issues in many local communities.
Nonetheless, our data underscores the need for greater investment in
education, communication, and organizing, particularly among Black
and Hispanic/Latino audiences, to expand the base of support
nationally.<br>
<br>
Solid majorities of respondents across racial and ethnic groups
support climate justice policies in the United States, so talking
about the specific benefits of actions to promote climate justice in
communities may build more support than only talking about climate
justice as a general concept.<br>
<br>

On November 8th 1989, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher gave
an inspiring speech to the UN General Assembly about the environment
and climate change. Over the course of her half hour speech, she set
out the problems we face and how we could resolve them. It was one
of a number of inspiring climate change speeches by the then Prime
Minister.<br>

<i> [ clip of text of her fairly interesting speech ]</i><br>
1989 Nov 8<br>
Margaret Thatcher<br>
<b>Speech to United Nations General Assembly (Global Environment)</b><br>
<blockquote> <font face="Calibri"><b>VAST INCREASE IN CARBON
DIOXIDE</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">We are seeing a vast increase in the amount
of carbon dioxide reaching the atmosphere. The annual increase
is three billion tonnes: and half the carbon emitted since the
Industrial Revolution still remains in the atmosphere.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">At the same time as this is happening, we are
seeing the destruction on a vast scale of tropical forests which
are uniquely able to remove carbon dioxide from the air.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Every year an area of forest equal to the
whole surface of the United Kingdom is destroyed. At present
rates of clearance we shall, by the year 2000, have removed 65
per cent of forests in the humid tropical zones. [end p3]</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The consequences of this become clearer when
one remembers that tropical forests fix more than ten times as
much carbon as do forests in the temperate zones.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">We now know, too, that great damage is being
done to the Ozone Layer by the production of halons and
chlorofluorocarbons. But at least we have recognised that
reducing and eventually stopping the emission of CFCs is one
positive thing we can do about the menacing accumulation of
greenhouse gases.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">It is of course true that none of us would be
here but for the greenhouse effect. It gives us the moist
atmosphere which sustains life on earth. We need the greenhouse
effect—but only in the right proportions.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">More than anything, our environment is
threatened by the sheer numbers of people and the plants and
animals which go with them. When I was born the world's
population was some 2 billion people. My Michael
Thatchergrandson will grow up in a world of more than 6 billion
people.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Put in its bluntest form: the main threat to
our environment is more and more people, and their activities:
The land they cultivate ever more intensively; The forests
they cut down and burn; The mountain sides they lay bare;
The fossil fuels they burn; The rivers and the seas they
pollute.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The result is that change in future is likely
to be more fundamental and more widespread than anything we have
known hitherto. Change to the sea around us, change to the
atmosphere above, leading in turn to change in the world's
climate, which could alter the way we live in the most
fundamental way of all.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">That prospect is a new factor in human
affairs. It is comparable in its implications to the discovery
of how to split the atom. Indeed, its results could be even more
far-reaching.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">We are constantly learning more about these
changes affecting our environment, and scientists from the Polar
Institute in Cambridge and The British Antarctic Survey have
been at the leading edge of research in both the Arctic and the
Antarctic, warning us of the greater dangers that lie ahead.
[end p4]</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Let me quote from a letter I received only
two weeks ago, from a British scientist on board a ship in the
Antarctic Ocean: he wrote, “In the Polar Regions today, we are
seeing what may be early signs of man-induced climatic change.
Data coming in from Halley Bay and from instruments aboard the
ship on which I am sailing show that we are entering a Spring
Ozone depletion which is as deep as, if not deeper, than the
depletion in the worst year to date. It completely reverses the
recovery observed in 1988. The lowest recording aboard this ship
is only 150 Dobson units for Ozone total content during
September, compared with 300 for the same season in a normal
year.” That of course is a very severe depletion.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">He also reports on a significant thinning of
the sea ice, and he writes that, in the Antarctic, “Our data
confirm that the first-year ice, which forms the bulk of sea ice
cover, is remarkably thin and so is probably unable to sustain
significant atmospheric warming without melting. Sea ice,
separates the ocean from the atmosphere over an area of more
than 30 million square kilometres. It reflects most of the solar
radiation falling on it, helping to cool the earth's surface. If
this area were reduced, the warming of earth would be
accelerated due to the extra absorption of radiation by the
ocean.”</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“The lesson of these Polar processes,” he
goes on, “is that an environmental or climatic change produced
by man may take on a self-sustaining or ‘runaway’ quality … and
may be irreversible.” That is from the scientists who are doing
work on the ship that is presently considering these matters.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">These are sobering indications of what may
happen and they led my correspondent to put forward the
interesting idea of a World Polar Watch, amongst other
initiatives, which will observe the world's climate system and
allow us to understand how it works.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">We also have new scientific evidence from an
entirely different area, the Tropical Forests. Through their
capacity to evaporate vast volumes of water vapour, and of gases
and particles which assist the formation of clouds, the forests
serve to keep their regions cool and moist by weaving a sunshade
of white reflecting clouds and by bringing the rain that
sustains them.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">A recent study by our British Meteorological
Office on the Amazon rainforest shows that large-scale
deforestation may reduce rainfall and thus affect the climate
directly. Past experience shows us that without trees there is
no rain, and without rain there are no trees. [end p5]...</font><br>
