Experts: US exiting climate pact may doom some small islands


Yesterday

WASHINGTON (AP) — To small island nations where the land juts just above the rising seas, the U.S. pulling out of the Paris global warming pact makes the future seem as fragile and built on hope as a sand castle.

Top scientists say it was already likely that sea level rise and global warming would ensure some island states wouldn't survive the next century, but if the U.S. doesn't follow through on its carbon emission reductions, that likelihood increases.

EPA
Pruitt will launch program to 'critique' climate science
This is crazy. The Environmental Protection Agency is going to lead an "exercise" where they try to disprove Climate Change:

U.S. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is leading a formal initiative to challenge mainstream climate science using a "back-and-forth critique" by government-recruited experts, according to a senior administration official.

The program will use "red team, blue team" exercises to conduct an "at-length evaluation of U.S. climate science," the official said, referring to a concept developed by the military to identify vulnerabilities in field operations.

"The administrator believes that we will be able to recruit the best in the fields which study climate and will organize a specific process in which these individuals ... provide back-and-forth critique of specific new reports on climate science," the source said.

"We are in fact very excited about this initiative," the official added. "Climate science, like other fields of science, is constantly changing. A new, fresh and transparent evaluation is something everyone should support doing."

The disclosure follows the administration's suggestions over several days that it supports reviewing climate science outside the normal peer-review process used by scientists. This is the first time agency officials acknowledged that Pruitt has begun that process. The source said Energy Secretary Rick Perry also favors the review.

That includes ice near where the crack began, which is moving at an unprecedented speed of 33 feet per day. In the world of glacial-paced ice, that’s the equivalent of an all-out sprint.

Germany ‘massively weakened’ draft G20 climate plan to appease Trump1

Published on 29/06/2017, 5:41pm
Latest draft of German plan for next week’s Hamburg meeting contains major concessions to US and opens door for coal projects to be defined as “clean”

Early drafts of the climate action plan to be discussed at next week's G20 meeting show the language was weakened dramatically this spring, Climate Home reports based on leaked documents. The draft was written before Trump announced he was pulling out of the Paris climate agreement. How Europe reacts now remains to be seen.

STAND UP and help us take action ~ www.frackmanthemovie.com

"If you care about our country, see it!” ~ Alan Jones
"No Australian voter should miss this film" ~ Bob Brown

Frackman is like no other Australian film. It aims to spark a broad national conversation about the risks of our headlong rush into massive coal seam gas development. Five years in the making, it not only entertains and engages, it also gives audiences the tools to get involved in what is becoming the largest social movement our nation has seen in decades. It’s a deeply political film, but not the old style that is so badly failing us. This the New Politics, bringing together old and young, city and country, conservative and progressive in a shared effort to prevent an environmental catastrophe. Can we imagine any other issue that would bring together the likes of Alan Jones and Bob Brown?
See it and find out why.

More than 30,000 people are covered by the CDP, most of whom are Aboriginal.

"We do believe that it's racially discriminatory," said Kara Keys from the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU).

"It is hard to mount the argument [that CDP is not racist] when … above 80 per cent of workers in this scheme are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander."

Ms Keys said it was outrageous the Government had "created a pool of free labour for employers to access".
