SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILS ON THE 2012-2013 WINTER WEATHER CONTEST AND GET YOUR ENTRIES IN BEFORE THE DEADLINE TO WIN A FREE IPAD.
Think this weather is boring? Hold on tight! The pattern is just about to undergo major amplification which will lead to a very unsettled weather pattern starting next week. It's really nothing unusual, but considering last winter was so mild and the weather this fall has been fairly tranquil, this pattern change will get your attention.
As I write this, it's 74 degrees in Little Rock and the record high today is 79 set in 1990. There's a very good chance we'll have a major swing in the other direction next week.
Also, keep this in mind... the lowest temperature last winter in Little Rock was 20 degrees on the morning of February 12th. I'm NOT saying that's in the forecast right now, but it's something to watch. Remember, I don't trust the details on long range models, but I do see a pattern developing which has real potential to deliver arctic air into the country, even Arkansas.
Many want to know what the chances for winter weather will be. Right now, it's absolutely impossible to say that's even remotely possible. However, meteorological winter begins December 1st and it's not unusual for something like that to happen. Wouldn't that be a shock and extreme compared to what we're experiencing right now.
First thing, I fully expect this unseasonably mild weather to end late Thursday night into Friday morning with a strong front. This will bring temperatures back to reality Friday and into the weekend. Then there's more down the road. Here are a few of the charts I'm looking at and why I'm getting pumped up about the colder pattern.
If you're new to the weather blog, welcome. I'm a HUGE winter weather lover and you're going to want to keep checking back for in depth weather analysis all winter long. It's going to be fun!
| This is the GFS valid next Tuesday morning. It shows the low pressure area just east of Arkansas and the front already through the state with colder air oozing into the state. |
So there you have it. Right now, I think it's safe to say the front Thursday night and Friday morning brings us back to reality. Another cold front moves through in the Monday to Tuesday time frame. After that, questions remain such as: how long will the cold air stay in place, does it quickly move off to the east, are there any waves of moisture further down the road. Those questions can never be answered until we get closer to that time range.

Todd,
One of your fellow meteorologists said in his winter outlook not to expect any big snow events this year! I think that is a contradiction though because although the overall pattern may not favor conditions for much snow short term weather could create an event which could bring a lot of snow/sleet/ice. And the short term events are not forseeable this far ahead. Please advise all your meteorologists to keep a positive outlook for some winter wx. this year!
I dont see any snow events for ark or the mid-south to at least mid to late feb... By that time it will be hard to stick around for more then 1 day... My official winter outlook for Ark an the mid- south is on par with last winter... I see a winter with below average rainfall and a top 20 of all time record months for dec an jan... Feb will be slightly below average but not by much... I see the biggest snowfall occuring in the feb 17 to the feb 27 range of 4.3 inches in Carrol county... I see little Rock recieving a trace of snow for the entire winter.. I see a early spring on the way.....
Hello all! Havent had much time to get on the blog so I thought I would stop by and give my December Outlook. Ive said many times that I dont believe in ANY outlook or forecast past 7-10 days.....ANY! Just like the experts, I do it out of fun ;-). With that being said I will give my expert outlook all Winter on the blog. Here is my December-
December 1-10 Temps mostly at or above avg. Precip above avg with heavy rain/storms possible 2nd-3rd and again 9th or 10th. No frozen precip.
December 11-20 Temps above normal. Precip above normal with 2-3 rounds of rain/storms. Light frozen precip for Northern Arkansas around 12th-14th.
December 21-31 Temps at or below normal. Precip around or slightly above avg. Watch out for our first REAL cold blast and wintry storm from dates 25th-30th.
Had fun and Ill be back for my Jan outlook......Hope snow!

This content is an extract of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD[1]) aligned Report released by the company ISS ESG in relation to the positioning of Etica Sgr’s Linea Valori Responsabili Funds.
All asset classes have been analyzed accordingly to the TCFD recommendations, grouped as follows: Equity Portfolio; Corporate Bonds Portfolio and Sovereign Bonds Portfolio.
The data analysis reports climate performance achieved at the year-end 2019.
The related carbon metrics used in the Equity and Corporate Bonds analysis are the following ones (please refer to Appendix for more details):
- Relative Carbon Footprint: a normalised measure, defined as the total carbon emissions of the Portfolio per million EUR invested. Any reference to relative carbon metrics in the Analysis refers to tCO2e/EUR million Invested;
- The Weighted Average Carbon Intensity (WACI): is the metric explicitly recommended by the TCFD for asset managers. The WACI allocates Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions based on Portfolio weights and has among its positive aspects the fact that is simple to calculate and easy to communicate to investors and, most notably, it can be applied across asset classes as it does not rely on the ownership approach. Any reference to carbon intensity in the Analysis refers to tCO2e/EUR million Revenue.
The Data Analysis goes beyond the sole carbon footprint assessment by providing various metrics used to assess climate-related risks and opportunities in forward-looking perspectives. Those metrics include[2]: carbon risk rating, scenario analysis, transitional climate risk and physical risk exposure.

Linea Valori Responsabili Equity portfolio
Carbon footprint analysis – Linea Valori Responsabili Equity portfolio[3].
1. Relative Carbon Footprint
The Relative Carbon Footprint is crucial because it is based on the ownership principle, which is the key logic to the GHG protocol: one EUR million invested in the Equity Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili is associated with 287.67 tCO2e and this is based on the investor’s “ownership” of the underlying companies.
The Portfolio Scope 1 & 2 emission exposure and Relative Carbon Footprint (tCO2e / EUR million Invested) are higher than the benchmark because of a greater allocation effect to the Materials sector, in addition the stock picking effect increasing the performance gap to the benchmark. When looking at the Utilities sector, the weight of the Portfolio in this sector is higher compared to the benchmark (5.73% of the Portfolio vs 3.3% of the benchmark), but the overall carbon performance is lower. This is attributable to a positive stock selection effect, which totally offsets the higher capital allocation to the Utilities sector.
2. Weighted Average Carbon Intensity
The Equity Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili’s WACI is 297.56 tCO2e per one EUR million of revenue, higher than the benchmark.
Figure 1 provides more insights into the WACI. First, in terms of sector contribution, the generally carbon-intensive Materials sector is the largest contributor to the Portfolio’s WACI. The contribution of another GHG-intensive sector such as Utilities is much lower than the benchmark. This highlights that the choice of the stocks in the Equity Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili favours lower-carbon intensity Utilities when compared to the benchmark, also from the angle of carbon efficiency in terms of output. Moreover, the fact that the Portfolio has no asset allocation to the Energy sector contributes positively to the WACI versus the benchmark. In addition to this, the difference between the Portfolio weight and the benchmark weight for the Financials sector partially explains why the emissions exposure of the Portfolio are higher. The Financials sector is one of the least emission-intense ones, therefore a portfolio with a reduced presence of issuers in such sector is more likely to have a higher emission exposure to GHG-intensive sectors than a portfolio that has a wider presence of Financials holdings.

Carbon risk rating
The Carbon Risk Rating (CRR) assesses how an issuer is exposed to climate risks and opportunities, and whether these are managed in a way to seize opportunities, and to avoid or mitigate risks.
The metric of CRR[4] can provide critical insights into how issuers are prepared for a transition to a low carbon economy and is a central instrument for the forward-looking analysis of carbon-related risks at Portfolio and issuer level.
The weighted average CRR of the Equity Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili is 43, outperforming the benchmark (36).
Figure 3 (below) displays the CRR distribution of the Equity Portfolio of Linea Valori Responsabili versus the benchmark.

Scenario analysis
The quantitative analysis aims to analyse the emission intensity from the direct emission of an asset to assess with which climate scenario it is aligned, based on its market share and carbon budget, and aggregate the results for the Portfolio holdings at the Portfolio level. The ISS ESG scenario analysis combines the three climate scenarios provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the emission reduction methodology according to the Sectoral Decarbonization Approach (SDA) developed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which assumes that a company is responsible for its sector emission reduction pathway.
The Equity Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili in its current status is aligned with a 2 degrees scenario for the full period analysed. The dotted line represents the projected Portfolio GHG emission pathway[5].
In a 2 degrees scenario, the GHG emission levels are expected to decrease substantially starting post 2025. As opposed to the Portfolio alignment with a 2 degrees scenario for the full period analysed, the benchmark is not aligned with a 2 degrees scenario and it exceeds its budget in 2028.
Figure 4: Linea Valori Responsabili, Equity Portfolio GHG Emission Pathway vs Climate Scenarios
-
Transitional climate risk
For a decarbonized future economy, it is key to transition the energy generation mix from fossil to renewable sources. Utilities relying on fossil power production without a substitute plan might run a higher risk of getting hit by climate change regulatory measures as well as reputational damages.
With regard to transitional climate risks[6], the Equity Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili shows a stronger performance than the benchmark. The Portfolio exposure to green power generation (55.5%) is much larger than the benchmark, and it is already in line with the 2 degrees scenario compatible energy mix for 2030.
-
Physical Climate Risk Exposure
Rising temperature levels, even if limited to 2° Celsius, will result in changes of the climate system resulting in physical risks. Physical risks arising from climate change can be classified into chronic risks such as droughts, heat stress and sea level rise, and acute risks such as extreme weather events and flooding. Companies’ exposure to these two types of physical risk depends on two main factors: their sector as well as the geographical region they are active in[7].

Linea Valori Responsabili corporate bonds portfolio
Carbon footprint analysis – Linea Valori Responsabili corporate bonds portfolio[8].
1. Relative Carbon Footprint
The Relative Carbon Footprint is crucial because it is based on the ownership principle, which is the key logic to the GHG protocol: one EUR million invested in the Corporate Bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili is associated with 129.79 tCO2e and this is based on the investor’s “ownership” of the underlying companies.
The Portfolio Scope 1 & 2 emission exposure and Relative Carbon Footprint (tCO2e / EUR million Invested) are higher than the benchmark because of a greater allocation effect to the Utilities sector. The stock picking effect partially compensates the gap of performance compared to the benchmark, which is also compensated by lower allocation to the Energy and the Materials sectors (0% and 3.18% for the Portfolio and 5.17% and 4.59% for the benchmark).
2. Weighted Average Carbon Intensity
The Corporate Bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili’s WACI is 338.3 tCO2e per one EUR million of revenue, higher than the benchmark
Figure 6 (below) provides more insights into the WACI. First, in terms of sector contribution, the generally carbon-intensive Utilities sector is the largest contributor to the Portfolio’s WACI. The second largest contributor is the Real Estate Sector. On the other hand, the WACI in another GHG-intensive sector such as Materials is much lower than the benchmark. Moreover, the fact that the portfolio has no asset allocation to the Energy sector contributes positively to the WACI versus the benchmark.

Carbon Risk rating
The Carbon Risk Rating (CRR) assesses how an issuer is exposed to climate risks and opportunities, and whether these are managed in a way to seize opportunities, and to avoid or mitigate risks.
The metric of CRR[9] can provide critical insights into how issuers are prepared for a transition to a low carbon economy and is a central instrument for the forward-looking analysis of carbon-related risks at Portfolio and issuer level.
The weighted average CRR of the Corporate Bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili is 53, outperforming the benchmark (36).

Scenario analysis
The quantitative analysis aims to analyse the emission intensity from the direct emission of an asset to assess with which climate scenario it is aligned, based on its market share and carbon budget, and aggregate the results for the Portfolio holdings at the Portfolio level. The ISS ESG scenario analysis combines the three climate scenarios provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the emission reduction methodology according to the Sectoral Decarbonization Approach (SDA) developed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which assumes that a company is responsible for its sector emission reduction pathway.
The Corporate Bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili in its current status is aligned with a 2 degrees scenario until 2031. The dotted line represents the projected Portfolio GHG emission pathway[10]. In a 2 degrees scenario, the GHG emission levels are expected to have a steeper constant decrease until 2035 and then decrease more slowly. The benchmark is not aligned with a 2 degrees scenario and exceeds its budget in 2028.

Transitional climate risk analysis
For a decarbonized future economy, it is key to transition the energy generation mix from fossil to renewable sources. Utilities relying on fossil power production without a substitute plan might run a higher risk of getting hit by climate change regulatory measures as well as reputational damages.
With regard to transitional climate risks[11], the Corporate Bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili shows a stronger performance than the benchmark. The portfolio exposure to renewable power generation (67%) is much larger than the benchmark, and it is already in line with the 2 degrees scenario compatible energy mix for 2050.

Phisycal climate risk analysis
Rising temperature levels, even if limited to 2° Celsius, will result in changes of the climate system resulting in physical risks. Physical risks arising from climate change can be classified into chronic risks such as droughts, heat stress and sea level rise, and acute risks such as extreme weather events and flooding. Companies’ exposure to these two types of physical risk depends on two main factors: their sector as well as the geographical region they are active in[12].
Figure 10: Exposure to Physical Climate Risks of the Corporate Bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili (Green: Low Risk; Orange: Medium Risk; Red: High Risk)
Linea Valori Responsabili Sovereign Bonds portfolio
The “Carbon Footprint” section compares the GHG emissions and other related carbon metrics for the Sovereign bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili versus the benchmark[13], including absolute and relative values for the Portfolio’s carbon emissions[14].
Figure 11: Sovereign bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili – Carbon Footprint Overview
As shown in Figure 11, the overall Portfolio’s Scope 1 & 2 emission exposure is 80,813 tCO2e, which is 11.5% lower than the benchmark. This ranking is reflected in the Relative Carbon Footprint based on investor’s “ownership” of the underlying countries’ debts.
The WACI metric highlights the Portfolio’s exposure to carbon intensive countries. The WACI of the Portfolio amounts to 32.3 tCO2e per one EUR million of GDP. Instead, the benchmark WACI is 33.6 tCO2e per one EUR million of GDP.
As displayed in Figure 12 (below), 38% of the Portfolio’s Scope 1 & 2 emission exposure arises from the German bonds with a 15% investment allocation, whereas the contribution of the Italian bonds is 22%, although the capital allocation is 33%. Other main contributors to the emissions exposure are Spain and France, while the other countries contribute to the remaining 7% of the Portfolio’s emission exposure.
Figure 12: Sovereign bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili – Largest Contributors
The different carbon intensities of the analysed countries are the main factors that explain the results of the carbon footprint analysis. For this reason, the sovereign report presents a dedicated column chart, in Figure 13 below, showing both the emissions per EUR million of debt and the emissions per EUR million of GDP of the main contributors.
For the Sovereign bonds Portfolio of the Linea Valori Responsabili the emission intensity per unit debt of Germany is three times higher than the one for Italy. This explains why Germany is the top contributor in terms of emissions, although it is the fourth in terms of capital allocation.

[1] Launched after the 2015 Paris Agreement by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD – https://www.fsb-tcfd.org/) considers climate transparency as a crucial factor for the stability of financial markets. The objective of the TCFD is therefore to improve climate transparency in financial markets through recommendations on disclosure. These recommendations provide a “consistent framework that improves the ease of both producing and using climate-related financial disclosures”. The TCFD aims to create a unique standard for both corporate and investment disclosure, understanding that local regulatory frameworks may require different compliance levels.
[2] The metrics mentioned in the list refer to equity and corporate bonds portfolios. For sovereign bonds portfolios the risk-related metrics are limited to physical risk exposure of countries.
[3] The benchmark used in the Data Analysis is ISHARES MSCI ACWI ETF as a proxy of the MSCI World Net Total Return (in Euro).
[4] CRR is based on a scale of 0 (very poor performance) to 100 (excellent performance) and allows to categorise companies according to their carbon-related performance into four groups: Climate Laggards, Climate Underperformers, Climate Performers, and Climate Leaders. For more details, please refer to Appendix.
[5] The GHG emission pathway and carbon budget of the Portfolio are the result of the aggregation of company-level data. The GHG emission trajectories at the company-level include both historical (i) and forward-looking indicators (ii) to project the emission intensity profile of a company from now until year 2050:
- The scenario analysis utilises 5 years of the ISS ESG historical, high-quality emission intensity data to create a trend for each company included in the analysis.
- The historical trend is then combined with forward looking emission reduction commitments and targets to estimate future emissions.
For a specific company to be in line with either the 2°C, 4°C and 6°C climate scenario, the allocated carbon budget per year need to be higher than the estimated direct emissions for the same company. The emissions and carbon budget at the company-level are then aggregated to get a Portfolio 2°C, 4°C and 6°C scenario alignment.

[13] For the Sovereign bonds portfolios two benchmarks are used: AMUNDI INDEX JPM EMU GOVIES ETF as a proxy of the benchmark JP Morgan EMU and the index Invesco Euro Government Bonds 1 – 3 Year UCITS ETF EUR Inav as a proxy of the benchmark ICE BofAML Euro Treasury Bill Index.
[14] In the Sovereign Bonds section of this report, Figure 11 displays the “Sovereign Emissions Exposure” of the Portfolio taking Scope 1 & 2 emissions into account. The “Relative Carbon Footprint” is a normalised measure, defined as the total carbon emissions of the Portfolio per million EUR invested. “The Weighted Average Carbon Intensity” differs from the one calculated for non-sovereign portfolios because the GDP of the country is used instead of the revenue of the company.
[15] Adjusted Enterprise Value is calculated as Total Market Cap + Total Debt. For non-listed entities where MCap is not available, total debt only is used.
[16] For sovereign bonds the revenue is replaced by the GDP of the country.
[17] The PCAF is a coalition of twelve Dutch financial institutions launched via the Dutch Carbon Pledge at the COP-21 Summit in Paris and is led by ASN Bank. The objective of this coalition is to develop a standard that enables financial institutions to set targets for carbon emissions and measure the extent to which these targets are achieved, which was presented in a December 2017 report (http://carbonaccountingfinancials.com/).
[18] Data availability limits the implementation of the exact methodology in practice. Data scarcity consists of (i) lack of data based on the same sector classifications for emissions and for expenditure, resulting in inaccuracies when matching the two data sets; and (ii) lack of sector-based expenditure data for many countries, particularly developing countries. |

Anyone who thinks that human activity and industry have little or no impact on global warming needs to see the astounding 2012 documentary Chasing Ice. (This movie was screened last week at The Heritage Theatre in Gibsons, BC as part of the Sunshine Coast’s excellent Green Films series.)
National Geographic nature photographer James Balog, a former geologist who was himself a skeptic about climate change, uses truly disturbing Arctic footage to prove how quickly the world’s glaciers are indeed receding. With the help of young male assistants, some of whom have never even worn crampons, he sets up Nikon time-lapse cameras in Arctic glacial fields in places such as Iceland and Greenland and checks them after a six-month interval.
What he discovers surprises even him. When he initially holds up a photo taken a half-year earlier of a glacial landscape that stretches in front of him, he thinks that he must be looking at a different location. He can’t believe how much ice has disappeared in such a short time. But when he rechecks the contours, he confirms that yes, it is the same spot.
As part of his self-created Extreme Ice Survey, Balog crawls onto high, fragile ice shelves to shoot straight into a crevasse. He ropes himself to the shoreline while taking stills of glacier-fed waves smashing onto ice floes. He scales and belays down steep walls of ice, all the while in pain from a much-operated-on knee which doctors say he shouldn’t even be walking on. His eldest daughter says she’s never seen her father so passionate about any project.
The most visceral scenes, besides Balog’s own stunning imagery of glaciers and Arctic ice, are the outlines on a topographical diagram that carve out how much polar ice has disappeared in the last 10 years, compared to the previous century. After managing to film one ice peninsula, the length of five football fields, breaking off, Balog is inspired to capture the same activity at one of the world’s largest glaciers in the Arctic.
He assigns two young assistants, stranded amidst frozen oblivion for two weeks, to keep a camera trained on this glacier. Sadly for us and the planet, and yet fortuitously for the filmmakers, the monumental wall of ice, higher and far bigger than the entire Manhattan skyline, rises up 600 feet, turns on its side, and “calves” (breaks) off. The process takes an hour.
I think that this remarkable, 75-minute documentary should be required viewing in all schools and workplaces.
With multi-festival awards from Sundance and Telluride to Hot Docs, it offers beautiful cinematography by director/co-producer Jeff Orlowski. Editor Davis Coombe does an excellent job of weaving together Balog’s stills with his indoor public appearances and footage from helicopters, dogsled and canoe. Both writer Mark Monroe and co-producer Paula Du Pre Pesmen, repeat their respective roles from the Academy-award-winning documentary The Cove about the slaughter of dolphins.
Some critics charge that Chasing Ice is more emotion than science, but researchers interviewed in the film confirm Balog’s findings. The documentary doesn’t give a platform to the political naysayers who dismiss global warming, yet its website provides a list of top 10 questions that people ask about climate change. The site also provides the resource skepticalscience.com.
Meanwhile, veteran Arctic researcher David Barber, director of the Centre for Earth Observation Science at the University of Manitoba, warns that North Pole ice, which used to be considered impenetrable, is now more like Swiss cheese. When he first visited the Arctic in the 1980s, the ice there usually receded only about a few kilometres offshore by the end of the summer. Today, he must travel more than 1,000 kilometres north into the Beaufort Sea to even find the ice.
James Hansen, a climate scientist with NASA, says: “The scientific community realizes that we have a planetary emergency.” Peter Wadhams, one of the world’s top ice experts from Cambridge University, told The Guardian this month that Arctic sea ice will collapse within four years (in the summer months), calling this “a global disaster.”
Here in British Columbia, the Sierra Club recently announced that the province’s 2010 carbon emissions are four times higher than those reported by the provincial government last June. The B.C. Liberals stated then that 2010 emissions had dropped by 4.5 percent to 62 million tonnes. But the Sierra Club report “Emissions Impossible?” reveals that these emissions total more than 250 million tonnes, when emissions from fossil fuel exports and forests are included.

A Mild Winter
In recent winters we heard phrases such as “polar vortex”, “thunder sleet”, and “cobblestone ice”. But not this winter.
According to the Weather Underground website, we had 17 days at or below freezing (at DFW airport). As a reminder, our average number of freezes is 33. Last winter we had 40 freezes and in the winter of 2013-2014 we had 55 freezes.
In addition, the low temperature this winter was only 27 degrees (January 18 & 23). Looking back on the annual records (which began in 1898) on the National Weather Service website, I could not find a low temperature that was anywhere near that high. The closest that I could find was 24 degrees in 1992-1993. Last winter our low was 16 degrees and in the winter of 2013-2014 our low was 15 degrees.
Backed up with that data and with no freezing weather forecast, I believe that it is now safe to say that it was a mild winter in the DFW area.
It is also one of the first times that I can remember when the local school districts did not use any of their allotted “snow days”.

Imagining Our Climate Future: A Policy Perspective
April 12, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Event Navigation
All of Belfast Climate Dialogues will host this presentation by the Belfast chapter of Citizens Climate Lobby.
The talk will be divided into two parts: first, Peter Garrett, PhD will encourage attendees to participate in the En-ROADS interactive Climate Solutions Simulator. En-ROADS allows users to explore the impact of a wide range of climate-related policies, such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, and/or improving agricultural practices. You can see how each would impact energy prices, temperature and sea level rise. Don’t worry, it’s easy. You can choose which policy you think would make the most difference, and we’ll evaluate it together. Developed by Climate Interactive, the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, and Ventana Systems, En-ROADS uses the best available science, calibrated against a wide-range of existing climate models. It is intuitive and very user-friendly.
In the second part, members from the chapter will share an overview of CCL’s keystone policy initiative, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307), and some of the reasons that it is the most aggressive solution to a transition away from fossil fuels, as well as the most compassionate for average Americans.

It’s only April, but in parts of the U.S. Southwest, it already feels like summer. With temperatures in the upper-90s last week and virtually the entire western half of the U.S. in drought, it seems we can prepare for yet another year of record-breaking weather.
Parts of Texas have yet to recover from the deadly winter storm two months ago while now facing an onslaught of hot, dry days punctuated by the upcoming hurricane season. It’s not unprecedented: Texas last saw such a severe winter storm in 2011, followed that summer by the worst year of the state’s multiyear drought which included 90 days of 100 degrees-plus temperatures and catastrophic wildfires.
But although most of Texas is in drought, the biggest area of concern is the Southwest, where some scientists say that states are in the throes of a megadrought, meaning an intense drought that lasts for decades or longer. In recent years, it has felt like a continuous drought, occasionally punctuated by rainfall relief. It brings to mind the saying attributed to a meteorologist in the 1930s, who said Texas is “a land of eternal drought, interrupted occasionally by biblical floods.”
The problem is, those eternal droughts and biblical floods have gained intensity in the last century. Climate change projections for the region from Texas to California present a stark water picture.
Climate change, drought and economics
The western U.S. is also home to rapid economic growth. According to the Census Bureau, 11 of the 15 fastest growing cities are in western states, in particular across Texas and Arizona. Unfortunately, climate change also threatens the economic wellbeing of those states.
Recently, the Institute for Public Policy Integrity at the New York University School of Law conducted a survey of 738 economists, Gauging Economic Consensus on Climate Change, which found that the benefits of taking action on climate change far outweigh the costs. This aligns with recent findings that the U.S. could save $8 trillion if Paris Climate Agreement targets were met compared to business-as-usual, and that figure is considered conservative. This is not wholly unexpected when we look at the number of multi-billion dollar natural disasters over the past few years, from the $16.6 billion in damage attributed to California wildfires in the fall of 2020 to the $133.8 billion cost of Hurricane Harvey in 2017 - and everything in between.
Further, according to the same study, more economists are on board with taking urgent action as climate models are consistently proven right in terms of increased intensity and duration of extreme weather events. Drought, in particular, has devastating cascading effects. Drought directly has an impact on agriculture, which could lead to depressed economies in farming communities as well as increased food costs for society overall.
Droughts also pose problems for the power generation sector: in hydroelectric power as well as fossil- and nuclear-powered electricity, which all rely on considerable amounts of water for generating electricity. Less critical, but no less important for local economies, are the effects on water recreation and the businesses that support it, from boat rentals and sales to restaurants and shops that cater to the participants.
Cities, especially in the drought-riddled west, will increasingly compete with these sectors for water. More straws in smaller pools could lead to conflict, as already witnessed in the long-standing tri-state water wars in the southeastern U.S. Further, economic booms will be limited if companies can’t rely on water being available for their operations. Luckily, cost-effective solutions already exist to address these problems.
Cost-effective water technologies for taking on drought
The energy-water nexus offers cost-effective carbon emission reductions. At the utility level, wastewater and drinking water utilities often comprise 30 to 40 percent of a city’s electricity demand. Because the majority of our electricity is generated using water- and carbon-intensive fossil fuels, deploying energy efficiency in those utilities’ operations is a win-win: It reduces energy demand (and lowers bills), which lowers carbon emissions, and it also reduces both operating costs at the water utility level and loss of non-revenue water.
Further, water efficiency projects could potentially deliver the same carbon and energy demand savings as traditional electric utility energy efficiency programs, but at considerably lower costs. Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, most electric utilities still pursue the age-old energy solutions in a silo, rather than partnering with water utilities for deeper emissions reductions.
Other opportunities abound for the energy-water nexus at water utilities. Floating solar - sometimes called “floatovoltaics” - reduces evaporation rates of retention ponds and keeps the solar panels cool and thus increases their efficiency. Biogas collection at wastewater treatment plants reduces methane emissions and can power systems with net-zero energy. Smart grid technologies can reduce leakage rates, which are as high as 40 percent in some areas, decreasing both the lost revenue and the energy and water that are literally flushed away by treated water not making it to its intended target. All of these are proven technologies, and with appropriate policy direction and investment opportunities, will only become more cost-effective the more they’re deployed.
If the majority of over 700 economists who study climate impacts on the economy feel the need to take action is urgent, even more so than five years ago. They reiterate that governments and businesses should deploy every weapon in their arsenal to prevent economic disaster from unmitigated climate change.
We are past the point of simply looking at inside-the-fence energy efficiency solutions at electric utilities. We need an economy-wide approach, and the water sector has vast potential and nearly unlimited opportunities to contribute. A more holistic approach to the energy-water nexus from both sides of the coin simply makes cost-effective sense. And for drought-stricken areas, conserving every last drop has never been more important.

Cyprus dust clouds a sign of climate change
Prof Jos Lelieveld, Head of the Environmental Predictions Department at CARE-C, the Cyprus Institute and Director of the Atmospheric Chemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, spoke with the Financial Mirror about recent dust episodes in Cyprus, their connection to extreme weather events and the impact of climate change on the island and the neighbouring region.
When it comes to climate change, “most people fail to realise their own wellbeing is at stake” notes the article, followed by a discussion on how sandstorms and extreme weather events are an ever-increasing threat to the health and prosperity of the people of Cyprus and the region.

Howdy,
How much more proof do some need that climate change is real, that it’s being caused by humans, and that if we don’t take serious measures now, we’re in trouble?
Facts from 350.org:
1. If the oceans rise 4 more inches, half of Florida and all of Manhattan will be under water.
2. According to 350.org, 350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide—measured in “Parts Per Million” in our atmosphere. 350 PPM—it’s the number humanity needs to get back to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change. Today, we’re at 391.
3. To grasp the seriousness of the climate crisis, you just need to do a little math. Fossil fuel corporations have 5 times more oil and coal and gas in known reserves than climate scientists think is safe to burn. We have to keep 80% of their fossil fuels underground to keep the earth in livable shape.Here are the three numbers you shouldn’t forget:2 degrees — Almost every government in the world has agreed that any warming above a 2°C (3.6°F) rise would be unsafe. We have already raised the temperature .8°C, and that has caused far more damage than most scientists expected. A third of summer sea ice in the Arctic is gone, the oceans are 30 percent more acidic, and since warm air holds more water vapor than cold, the climate dice are loaded for both devastating floods and drought.
565 gigatons — Scientists estimate that humans can pour roughly 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and still have some reasonable hope of staying below two degrees. Computer models calculate that even if we stopped increasing CO2 levels now, the temperature would still rise another 0.8 degrees above the 0.8 we’ve already warmed, which means that we’re already 3/4s of the way to the 2 degree target.
2,795 gigatons — The Carbon Tracker Initiative, a team of London financial analysts and environmentalists, estimates that proven coal, oil, and gas reserves of the fossil-fuel companies, and the countries (think Venezuela or Kuwait) that act like fossil-fuel companies, equals about 2,795 gigatons of CO2, or five times the amount we can release to maintain 2 degrees of warming.
Please watch this movie.
Then take action. Here’s some tips to what you can do on your own to reduce your carbon footprint.

I saw this movie when it was in Denver. It is, the most powerful movie I’ve seen on climate change.
See this movie, please. If you missed it, buy the DVD when it comes out. Then invite some friends over to watch it.
Thanks in advance for doing so. |

Sustainability
Our solutions: Products for climate protection
BASF products are involved in a large number of climate protection technologies. They enable energy efficiency and climate protection in a variety of sectors, such as building and living, mobility, energy and agriculture.
Our goal is to continually increase the contribution of our current products for climate protection, as well as of new products and solutions. We invest about half of our annual expenditures for research and development (R&D) on product and process innovations where the R&D target is related to energy/resource efficiency and climate protection.
Examples of our products for climate protection:
Building and Living
By 2050, nine billion people will live on our planet, three-quarters of them in cities. Growing urbanization will require new concepts in housing and construction. Sustainability is an essential factor for our future. What does our path look like? How can we tackle the new challenges together?
Mobility
Reducing CO2 emissions, meeting recycling targets and improving air quality are industry challenges we all are facing. Limited availability of fossil fuels and climate change call for more efficient cars and lower emissions. “We create chemistry for a sustainable future” – according to this purpose we develop chemistry that drives us from A to B with a cleaner footprint.
Agriculture
With our connected offer of products, technologies and services, we want to transform agriculture for the better by making a positive impact on the agricultural food system and ultimately on society. We believe that digitalization is at the core of this transformation and has the power to impact billions of people.
Energy
BASF supports the deployment of wind power as a climate-friendly source of energy. BASF’s innovative solutions are a contributory factor in the more efficient manufacturing and maintenance of rotor blades, bases, towers and gears for wind turbine systems. |

Investing in nature, our most precious asset - an interview with Marc Palahì, our Chief Nature Officer
Article published in Le Temps, 4 September 2023
In recent years, organisations have increasingly tried to understand the dependence of our economy on nature. PwC reported this year that more than half (55%) of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) – the equivalent of an estimated USD $58 trillion – is moderately or highly dependent on nature, rising from USD $44 trillion in 2020. The report highlighted that nature’s decline poses significant risks to the global economy and society-at-large if organisations do not reform their practices now.
Rethinking our economy
The ECB’s recent research estimated that approximately 72% of companies in the euro area are highly dependent on nature, while almost 75% of bank loans to companies in the euro area are granted to those with a high dependency on ecosystem services provided by nature.
The above analysis highlights just how much our economy relies on nature. However, as more than just an economic good, its true value is often underestimated. Can you imagine a world without nature? It is impossible; nature is the reason we exist. It is undoubtedly our most important capital and the basis for human life. However, our economy has grown at its expense, and our sophisticated financial system has not historically invested in our most valuable asset.
It is time to rethink our economy. The climate and biodiversity crisis, as well as growing socio-economic inequalities, are different consequences of the same fundamental problem: our economic system. It is time for a new paradigm that positions nature at the heart of our economy and makes the environmental transition possible. To protect nature, and by extension our home, it must be understood and valued, but also made investable.
Connecting nature with finance
A key step companies can take in accelerating this transition is to hire a Chief Nature Officer, serving to connect nature with finance. Banks and investment managers hold enormous power when it comes to valorising the circular bioeconomy, and therefore have an important role to play in protecting it. They can effect change on a grand scale through the channelling of capital, but it is important to fully understand how to do so effectively.
This is where a dedicated role, grounded in science and research, is crucial. Over the past few years, we have seen an exponential rise in the hiring of Chief Sustainability Officers (CSO), a position responsible for a company’s overall environmental strategy. According to PwC research, the number of CSOs tripled in 2021, a positive sign that the role is increasingly valued and supported at the highest level of organisations.
The future of the Chief Nature Officer
We hope that Chief Nature Officers will follow a similar trajectory. They must work closely with the CEO’s senior leadership team, CSOs and investment professionals, building strategies with nature at their heart, which are implemented throughout the business. They must make the case for nature as our most precious asset, providing an understanding of our economic dependence on it, as well as the opportunities that nature-based solutions and the circular bioeconomy offer for the transition to a climate- and nature-positive world. Our research shows that the environmental transition is already well underway; using analysis to identify opportunities for investment holds huge potential to unlock superior returns in the years to come.
Our most important carbon sink
To protect our future, both ecologically and economically, we must afford as much importance to the biodiversity crisis as to the climate crisis: nature is our most important carbon sink. However, it will only perform this function if our natural ecosystems are healthy, resilient and sufficiently biodiverse. Investing in biodiversity is a prerequisite to guaranteeing nature’s key role in mitigating climate change. We should see carbon sequestration by nature not as a target, but as the consequence of investing in nature.
Many of the solutions required to transition to a more circular, lean, inclusive and clean (CLIC®) economy already exist. The challenge is to scale up finance to unlock their transformational potential. Counting on the expertise of a Chief Nature Officer represents a major step towards this goal.

You know what they say about our weather here on the Northshore and Metro New Orleans – one day you’re walking around in shorts and short-sleeved shirts, and then just like that, you’re bundled up and cranking up your heater.
And it just happened to us last month as our temperatures took a deep dive when an Arctic blast of cold air made its way over the Northshore and Metro New Orleans. And we technically weren’t even out of hurricane season, yet!
At Benfatti Heating and Air, we’ve been helping Southeastern Louisiana families stay warm and toasty during our winter cold snaps since 1989. That’s 30 years of service to our community, making sure that you and yours have a properly functioning heater when our temperatures plunge!
Now is the Time to Schedule Maintenance for Your Home’s Heater
While we do offer same day service for repairs and maintenance, the best way to keep your family warm and comfortable this time of year is to pre-schedule maintenance before you need to turn your heater on again – or schedule it right now if you’re already running your heater 24/7.
That’s because when the cold snaps hit – and you know there’ll be more here before we know it – our phone starts ringing off the hook from homeowners around Slidell, Mandeville, Covington, and Metro New Orleans whose heaters either aren’t functioning properly or have stopped working altogether. Trust us, you don’t want your family left out in the cold when the temperatures drop, and the best way to keep them comfortable is by scheduling an appointment for maintenance today.
What Does Maintenance Include?
You might be wondering why you need your heater inspected and maintained seasonally. Here’s a list of what our technicians are looking for when they come to your home to inspect and maintain your heater once cooler weather hits:
- We check to make sure all vents are working properly, and that there are no blockages that will stop your heated air from being delivered into your home
- We make sure your thermostat is properly operating, calibrated, and leveling, and we even inspect WiFi thermostats, too
- We check for any leaks in your system
- We clean your heater so it’ll function at its best capacity
Additionally, if we find any issues that will likely need to be repaired this season, we’re able to schedule those repairs ASAP – before we hit freezing temperatures again.
Maintenance Keeps You Warmer While Keeping Your Natural Gas Usage Down
If you’re like most families on the Northshore and Metro New Orleans, you probably don’t have high natural gas bills every month, even if you cook on a gas stove. But once those cold snaps hit and your heater’s blasting, that bill certainly does spike!
However, when you get maintenance on your heater, we make sure it’s running as efficiently as possible. This means you don’t pay extra to get your warm air delivered to your interior rooms, which helps reduce natural gas usage.
Sign Up for Our Maintenance Plan and We’ll Remind You When It’s Time to Inspect Your Heater and AC
To help keep you comfortable all year long, Benfatti offers homeowners in Slidell, Mandeville, Covington, and Metro New Orleans heating and air maintenance plans for both Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer inspections and cleanings. By checking your heater in the cooler months and your AC in the warmer months, we’re better able to ensure you and your family will be happy and comfortable all year long. We even offer special pricing programs, so that you can spread out the cost of this bi-annual service throughout the entire year if that option fits best in your family’s budget.
Call Us to Schedule Your Maintenance Today!
To sign up for a maintenance plan, or to schedule maintenance for this month, call us at (985) 646-0540 on the Northshore or (504) 241-3135 in Metro New Orleans. Our Comfort Specialists are ready to help you! |

www_sfmoma_org_read_cold-storage-explained_ | climate | SIMILARITY: 0.4207
Situated in SFMOMA’s basement is a cold storage unit housing over 11,000 photographs at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, many of modest dimensions stacked in drawers and others well over life-sized hanging on retractable screens.
One example is Ka-Man Tse’s Untitled, from the series Narrow Distances (2017), a color inkjet print. Another example, Meghann Riepenhoff’s cyanotype Littoral Drift Near Shore #209, consists of 63 sheets of paper blasted by ocean waves and touched by sand and sunlight.
Why the chilly environment? Placing photographs in cold storage preserves them at their best possible condition by controlling or slowing down deterioration, especially for color photographs, chromogenic prints, early inkjet prints, and prints made with light-sensitive materials and substances. Various factors determine whether to send a photograph to cold storage, including medium, year, chemistry, process, and length of time it will be stored.
“It is an opportunity to care for the photographs when they first enter the museum’s collection in pristine condition, something we were unable to do before the cold vault.”
The Tse and Riepenhoff photographs certainly merit this anti-aging treatment. With her unconventional method, Riepenhoff’s work presents a unique challenge for conservation. In the case of Tse’s work, “the new inkjet prints made with pigments are quite stable compared to chromogenic prints from the 1970s made with dyes,” says Associate Photography Conservator Michelle Kloehn. “We prioritize them for cold storage because they are new acquisitions and fall into the museum’s DEI policy of diversifying the collection. It is an opportunity to care for the photographs when they first enter the museum’s collection in pristine condition, something we were unable to do before the cold vault.”
The storage unit features two rooms with controlled temperature and relative humidity levels. Sensors carefully monitor each parameter, and door openings are minimized to prevent temperature fluctuations, conserve energy, and preserve the art. Photographs first acclimate in the “cool” room for 24 hours at 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The second, “cold” room is set at 40 degrees Fahrenheit and houses photographs permanently. To ease the transition between the museum environment, the cool room, and the cold vault, the Collections Management team wraps the photographs in “coats” (protective films and barriers) that are reused when the works return to storage.
In operation since SFMOMA’s 2016 expansion, the cold storage unit adheres to rigorous sustainability standards. Conservators, curators, engineers, architects, and sustainability consultants collaborated on a design that would maximize the unit’s energy efficiency. Strategies such as setting consistent values for the building’s relative humidity and temperature enables the museum to achieve its dual objectives of preserving photography and complying with San Francisco’s rigorous Green Building Code to become LEED Gold-Certified.
“Of course, we want to preserve these objects for future generations, but what about present generations? Something that guides my practice is finding ways to safely display photographs for the enjoyment of people today.”
Does this mean you should keep your photos in the refrigerator? No. It’s important to note that although household fridges maintain a similar temperature as the cold storage unit, they lack the humidity control crucial for preservation. Putting a treasured family photograph or fragile print in a home refrigerator would just give you a cold, damp photo.
A more practical at-home conservation strategy is to minimize light exposure because “photographs are made with light, and of light, and they are light-sensitive,” explains photography conservator Roberta Piantavigna. “Of course, we want to preserve these objects for future generations, but what about present generations? Something that guides my practice is finding ways to safely display photographs for the enjoyment of people today.” |

Michigan’s soggy summer evidence of a global climate reckoning
DEARBORN—Mohammad Al Hajmoussa thought he was done with natural disasters when he fled Louisiana after Hurricane Rita to resettle on Dearborn’s south end.
“But I ran away from the hurricanes and ended up here,” he said, standing in a gutted basement that smelled faintly of mildew.
Al Hajmoussa’s home was among tens of thousands damaged when a series of severe storms hit southeast Michigan this summer. The worst of them — a “thousand year” rainstorm that lasted several hours on the night of June 25 — dropped as much as seven inches into a sewer system built to drain no more than three inches in 24 hours.

- Yes, mosquitoes are worse in Michigan this summer. And it ain’t over
“We believe our systems operated as designed, but were overwhelmed,” Dearborn city spokesperson Mary Laundroche told Bridge Michigan.
Welcome to Michigan’s new climate reality.
The Dearborn flooding joins a long list of natural disasters that happened in quick succession this summer: As flash floods in Germany killed more than 180 people, an early-season wildfire was consuming hundreds of thousands of acres in Oregon following the hottest weather the Pacific Northwest has ever seen, and the massive water reservoirs that quench the desert Southwest were hitting record lows.
Though it’s hard to tease out the role of climate change in any single weather event, long-term monitoring has shown that intense rainstorms like the ones that bore down on Southeast Michigan this year (and mid-Michigan last year, and the Upper Peninsula in 2018, and mid-Michigan in 2017, and metro Detroit in 2014) are growing more common. And are expected to worsen.
And yet our infrastructure and the policy that guides it — from the pipes that whisk water away, to the standards that dictate where and how we build homes — are calibrated to patterns of the past.
“Whether it's a house, a sewage system, a dam, your farm: They're all designed for a climate that doesn't exist anymore,” said Jonathan Overpeck, a climate scientist at the University of Michigan.
When the water finally drained from his home in Dearborn, Al Hajmoussa peeled away sodden drywall to discover another crisis: Fissures in the foundation of his 19-year-old house, the result, he believes, of hydraulic pressure from the waterlogged soil.
“Now, every time it rains,” he said, “water comes through the cracks.”
Al Hajmoussa’s experience represents a broader reality: The cost of climate change — and society’s failure to prepare for it — is raising the price tag for meaningful solutions in Michigan.
Consider: The flood that triggered last year’s Edenville Dam failure inflicted $200 million in private property damage. Flooding in 2018 in Houghton County caused $100 million in damage to public infrastructure alone. In 2014, the bill for catastrophic flooding in Detroit was $1.8 billion. And local officials in eight states and two Canadian provinces anticipate spending $2 billion to recover from the recent record-high water levels that damaged coastal areas across the Great Lakes.
As of mid-July, the Federal Emergency Management Agency had already approved $51.3 million in assistance to victims of this year’s southeast Michigan floods.
Climate experts have warned for decades that the only way to avoid ever-more-dire consequences is to rapidly cease burning fossil fuels. But political and business leaders have been slow to heed those warnings.
Now, said Beth Gibbons, executive director of the American Society of Adaptation Professionals in Ypsilanti, which helps professionals prepare for climate change, “we're getting a really painful look at the reality that we've been moving toward for a long time.”
According to a landmark global assessment released Monday, extreme weather will get worse over the next three decades even if humanity becomes carbon neutral by 2050 (a best-case scenario that the globe’s largest emitters are not on track to meet).
Floods are just the beginning.
The smoke from Western wildfires is polluting Michigan’s air. Left unchecked, Overpeck said, climate change will amplify wildfire risks here, too. Our summers will become increasingly hot and humid. Our winters, warmer and stormier. Then there are the secondary effects: worsening disease outbreaks, harsher allergy seasons and collapsing fish and wildlife populations.
A study published last month by a researcher at Columbia University's Earth Institute put the worldwide mortality cost of carbon from heat alone at 83 million people this century if greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated. And there’s growing scientific consensus that areas from Miami to the Middle East will become uninhabitable due to sea level rise and worsening heat.
Overpeck said Michigan and the world still have time to avoid that fate. If we rapidly decarbonize our economy and recalibrate our infrastructure for a changing climate, the Great Lakes region is positioned to withstand climate change better than the world’s arid and coastal regions.
Overpeck said swift climate action can also produce secondary benefits, such as improved air quality as fossil fuel-powered automobiles and power plants are replaced by electric vehicles and solar and wind energy.
But if we don’t act?
“We're going to continue to get hammered, over and over and over.”
‘Not a problem until it’s in my backyard’
Keith Cooley was a member of then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s cabinet in 2007 and 2008, when climate change was emerging as a state policy priority.
Scientists had by then been warning about the impacts of climate change for decades, but Consumers Energy was still planning to build new coal plants in Michigan (now, the company plans to stop burning coal by 2025). The gas-guzzling Hummer SUV was wildly popular. And then-President George W. Bush had vowed not to implement the Kyoto Protocol, a global agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
As the Granholm administration negotiated legislation requiring electric providers to start transitioning to renewable energy, Cooley said they aimed for 15 percent by 2015. By the time the bill reached public view, he said, the goal had been “beat down to 10 percent” because a higher standard would not have passed in the Legislature.
Lack of political support also tempered the ambition of Michigan’s 2009 Climate Action Plan, and led voters to reject a 2012 ballot measure that would have required Michigan to get 25 percent of its electricity from renewables by 2025.
At the time, said Frank Ettawageshik, executive director of the United Tribes of Michigan and a longtime climate activist who helped craft Michigan’s first climate plan, “just getting as far as we did was a huge leap for a lot of people.”
But in the past few years, global warming has begun to play out in wildfires, flooding and record temperatures that people could see and feel, and the public dialogue has shifted dramatically. Even without a government mandate, some automakers set their own timelines to stop selling gas-powered cars. And Michigan’s biggest utilities (Consumers Energy and DTE) have vowed to become carbon neutral by midcentury.
Cooley, who now runs a consulting business focused on labor and the energy transition, said he has watched colleagues across the political spectrum increasingly embrace the need for an energy transition — even if they may still avoid using the term “climate change” to describe what’s happening.
One example: In late July, Congress announced plans to pass a bipartisan $550 billion infrastructure deal that includes money to prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Among a host of priorities it would fund: Electric vehicle adoption and upgrades to U.S. roads, bridges and water and power infrastructure.
But the plan is less than a quarter of Biden’s original $2.6 trillion proposal, and climate activists say it’s far too lean to meet America’s climate challenge. They’re now pressing Democrats to pass an additional $3.5 trillion proposal to fund priorities that were left out of the still-to-be-passed bipartisan package.
Meanwhile, the few Republicans who support the bipartisan infrastructure package describe it as an overdue investment in America’s decrepit roads and bridges — not an act of climate preparation.
"Republicans and Democrats have radically different visions these days. But both those visions include physical infrastructure that works for our citizens," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, in remarks Saturday on the Senate floor.
In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and many Democratic legislators have been vocal about the link between recent flooding disasters and the global climate crisis.
During a press conference in the wake of the flooding, Whitmer said Michigan must protect itself from future disasters by “doing everything we can to address climate change and build resilient infrastructure.”
Rep. Abdullah Hammoud, D-Dearborn, said he and fellow Democratic lawmakers plan to introduce policy and spending proposals in the coming weeks to address Michigan’s infrastructure needs.
“We might not be able to prevent the levels of rain that we're seeing,” he said, “but we can prevent the flooding if we make smart investments.”
Republican leaders, while more hesitant to link recent floods to human-caused climate change, have advocated spending billions of federal COVID relief dollars to address weaknesses in Michigan’s roads, bridges, dams and water systems.
Sen. Wayne Schmidt, a Republican from Traverse City who introduced a bill to spend $1.63 billion of Michigan’s stimulus money on bridges, rail and other needs, told Bridge Michigan Monday that climate change is putting additional strain on the state’s infrastructure.
“There is an impact, and it's going to continue, we need to address that,” Schmidt said.
Abby Walls, spokesperson for state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, acknowledged in an email to Bridge that Michigan’s infrastructure “needs to be able to withstand 200-, 500-, 1000- year weather events.”
And GOP Sen. Tom Barrett, who chairs the Senate Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said Michigan’s infrastructure should be “as resilient as possible.”
A spokesperson for Speaker of the House Jason Wentworth declined to comment.
Environmentalists say those state and federal developments represent welcome, if insufficient and belated, progress.
Climate inaction meets infrastructure neglect
Because earlier climate efforts came up short, experts say society now faces tandem challenges: Stopping emissions as quickly as possible, while responding to climate disasters that will grow increasingly severe until emissions plummet.
In Michigan, the challenge is compounded by longstanding state disinvestment in roads, bridges, water systems and other infrastructure. Already crumbling from neglect, these aging public assets now face strain from storms they weren’t designed to withstand in the first place.
Those who have contributed least to the climate crisis — the poor, who have far smaller carbon footprints — will suffer first and worst because they can least afford expensive reinforcements or relocation out of harm’s way.
Gibbons, the climate adaptation expert, put it this way: “We have a risk that is exacerbated because of our failure to take care of the public good for the last 40 years, 50 years — or for some people, ever.”
Take, for instance, the metro Detroit section of I-94 that becomes a car-swallowing lake during extreme floods. The Michigan Department of Transportation is planning to modernize the freeway, including new drainage systems to better prevent flooding.
But where should the water go instead?
“That (I-94) storm sewer connects into an overall stormwater and sanitary sewage management system that ... is 100 years old,” said Hal Zweng, who manages MDOT’s environmental compliance section.
Heavy rainfall frequently overwhelms those sewers, sending water spewing into streets and homes. Fixing the flooded freeway may exacerbate flooding elsewhere.
Zweng said MDOT officials meet weekly with the Great Lakes Water Authority and other water managers in hopes of finding a solution.
The authority plans to spend $1.7 billion over the next five years to improve its water system. But in a metro area built on top of drained wetlands, it’s unclear whether any engineered solution, from bigger pipes and pumping systems to more stormwater catchment ponds, can eliminate flooding as climate change makes the region stormier.
Such conundrums are becoming more common across the state. MDOT has spent millions of dollars shoring up state coastal roads against encroaching waves. Among them: The section of M-25 near Port Austin, which recently underwent major reconstruction.
“It’s stable for now,” Zweng said. “But at some point, we can’t keep reinforcing it.” When that day comes, the road will need to be moved further inland.
If continued flooding is inevitable, state and federal policy changes may be needed to help residents adapt, said Gibbons, of the climate change adaptation group.
One example: Changing the way federal agencies dole out disaster relief money.
FEMA typically pays homeowners just enough to make their home livable again. A bandage, in other words, not a solution. It typically doesn’t pay to install sump pumps or weather stripping, the kind of costly but necessary improvements that could prevent damage during the next rainstorm.
Gibbons called it an “archaic approach” that fails to recognize today’s storms for what they are: Not freak disasters, but a new normal.
It’s also an inefficient use of money: The federal government estimates that every dollar spent to prepare for disasters saves $6 by avoiding future disaster recovery costs.
Until and unless such policy changes arrive, experts said Michiganders should take steps to prepare themselves. For Gibbons, that meant buying a house without a basement when her family recently moved.
Michigan Farm Bureau officials said farmers are beginning to plant earlier in the spring, and install irrigation systems to withstand droughts and drain tiles to prevent floods. Tribes, doubting that some of Michigan’s native fish will survive climate change, have become less species-specific when negotiating their treaty-protected fishing rights, Ettawageshik said.
In Dearborn, Al Hajmoussa and his neighbors are considering how they’ll adapt, too.
Laymoon Yahya, who lives next door, said she will make only basic repairs. She’ll also invest in flood insurance and a generator.
And “I’ll never, ever, put anything expensive down there,” Yahya said of her basement.
Al Hajmoussa has other ideas. He has talked with a real estate agent about putting his house up for sale. If he gets a good offer, he said, he’ll use the money to finance a move.
“Please get me out of Dearborn,” he said. “Anywhere dry.”

No , I don’t trust this little bubble, I feel it will burst at any moment. We are heading into autumn and soon the trees will be a fantastic orange and I will suffer from SAD which I successfully deal with through light-therapy.

Align: Winter with Kelsey Carrasquel
Align: Winter
with Kelsey Carrasquel
February 3rd, 2024
2:00PM -5:00PM
The Align workshop series is a combination of conversation & practicum, in which a small yet diverse group of students are given the opportunity to develop their own practices that are in alignment with the season of life they are in, and to engage in intimate and expansive conversations with one another about how they each uniquely resonate with those seasons. This particular workshop focuses on the season of Winter, both as a season of the earth that influences us and our wellbeing, and also as a reflection of a season of rest & reflection one might be experiencing in their personal life.
Winter is a season of rest and reflection. Winter’s medicine is the time and space we have to put to rest anything that we are still holding onto from the past cycle, not necessarily forever, but for the time being. Winter invites us to be in incubation. Just like when we go to bed at night, when we rest, we do not cease to be, but we are able to enter into a deeper state of consciousness, without the distractions of the waking world. When we rest, we can explore the realm of dreams, which are the beginnings of our intentions for the next growing season. There is no pressure to implement our dreams and ideas during this season; this is a time to dream big and not be concerned with the outcome. As well as dreaming and visioning for the future, we can be in reflection on the seasons past, in which we honor what was in alignment with our highest good, and what was not. This also will carry us into the next growing season more aligned with our highest good. This workshop focuses on practices that keep the soul warm as the body resets.
This workshop is limited to 7 students to maintain a comfortable container for students to engage in conversation with one another, and their own practices within this season. Sign up promptly to reserve your spot!
IN THIS WORKSHOP, STUDENTS WILL…
- Learn about the seasonal resonances of Winter from the perspective of Eastern philosophy & medicine systems.
- Explore how Winter uniquely resonates with you.
- Learn about rituals and practices that support and balance the energy of Winter.
- Work in a seasonal workbook (provided) that prompts putting these concepts into practice.
- Be in a brave space together for discussion on these topics.

It has been cold in the mornings for quite a few days but warms up a little in the afternoon. Winter has not officially arrived and I am sick of it already. This gal was not meant to live in cold climates.
The other day I was watching Telemundo and when the weather guy mentioned that the Western Region of their audience including San Antonio (where they broadcast from) was going to experience a severe freeze overnight on Thursday this young news anchor who can not be older than 27 years and from Bogota, Colombia said: "It is time to bring out the San Marcos"...I almost died laughing 😂😂😂
You are probably saying "Sorry Belinda, but I don't get it"...and you would be correct, you would have to be Hispanic or have been around Hispanic friends to understand its meaning even some Hispanics have probably never heard about it. This is mostly a Mexican thing that is why I was so surprised that a young man from Colombia would have heard about it.
These are very warm Mexican blankets that were very popular but due to Korean knockoffs were put out of business and ceased production back in 2004. They are now sold on Amazon and called Koreanas but will never compare to the original San Marcos blankets from Mexico.
When my dad was in the nursing home my mother asked my uncle to purchase one because she was concerned that the air conditioner was too cold for him. In this blog, I usually refer to it as "my daddy's blanket" and it always makes its way with me to the Terlingua Chili Cook-off...except for the first year I took my car and could not fit it or my sleeping bag and almost froze to death that first night. It gives me comfort and peace of mind to know that my dad was never cold with his San Marcos.
I do not think I have drunk so much hot chocolate in all my life as I have these past two weeks. I will blame Hallmark movies for that. Have you ever noticed how they all have a cup of hot chocolate complete with whipped cream but they barely drink it?
Per El Zócalo newspaper (from Ciudad Acuña) Del Rio had 65 new Covid-19 cases and is awaiting the result of 88 more. http://www.zocalo.com.mx/new_site/articulo/reportan-65-nuevos-casos-de-covid-19
We have also had several wildfires due to the strong winds the area has been experiencing including one in the infamous Moody Ranch. Though the fires at that ranch usually start out as controlled burns but end up otherwise.
For those not familiar with Moody Ranch this is where the TV miniseries Lonesome Dove was filmed.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

As the night gathers dust, the temperatures fall into the low 50's and the air is chilly when I awaken. I turn the heat on while I shower and dress myself in a pin striped pantsuit for work. My husband places a shawl around me before I step out of the door. When I step out of my offce door at ten o'clock to indulge in my first cigarette of the day, I find the sun shining brightly and the warmth of the Florida sun has caused the temperatures to rise to nearly 70. At lunch, I write a poem:
GODDESS OF THE SUN
February cool fronts blow in
and out of a Florida island,
The women wear sweaters
Over their bikinis
All except Diana
She wears a leather jacket
Black as a hurricaine sky
Smooth as Santana,
Discards it in the sand
Discards her blanket and lover too
As the temperature rises just past noon,
All to run after a boy with a lighter
"Smokers are a dying breed,"
I hear the echo of her tropical giggle
She follows the boy into a beach bar
While another cool front drifts into town,
I scoop up her discarded jacket
Ease my way onto her blanket and light up
The cigarette of Diana's bronzed man
With my jaded green lighter
We contemplate the forest green ocean
For a long sultry second,
Sufficient time for him
To fall for my siren's song:
We drive to Miami for dinner.

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the evaluation of adaptive capacities of community-level human systems related to agriculture and food security. It highlights findings regarding approaches and domains to monitor and evaluate behavioral changes from CGIAR’s research program on climate change, agriculture and food security (CCAFS). This program, implemented in five West African countries, is intended to enhance adaptive capacities in agriculture management of natural resources and food systems. In support of participatory action research on climate-smart agriculture, a monitoring and evaluation plan was designed with the participation of all stakeholders to track changes in behavior of the participating community members. Individuals’ and groups’ stories of changes were collected using most significant change tools. The collected stories of changes were substantiated through field visits and triangulation techniques. Frequencies of the occurrence of characteristics of behavioral changes in the stories were estimated. The results show that smallholder farmers in the intervention areas adopted various characteristics of behavior change grouped into five domains: knowledge, practices, access to assets, partnership and organization. These characteristics can help efforts to construct quantitative indicators of climate change adaptation at local level. Further, the results suggest that application of behavioral change theories can facilitate the development of climate change adaptation indicators that are complementary to indicators of development outcomes. We conclude that collecting stories on behavioral changes can contribute to biophysical adaptation monitoring and evaluation.

Because of differences in geography and climate, the amount, location, and natural variability of sea ice in the Arctic and the Antarctic are different. Global warming and natural climate patterns may affect each hemisphere’s sea ice in different ways or at different rates. Within each hemisphere, sea ice can change substantially from day to day, month to month, and even over the course of a few years.
Comparing conditions at only two points in time or examining trends over a short period is not sufficient to understand the impact of long-term climate change on sea ice. Scientists can only understand how sea ice is changing by comparing current conditions to long-term averages.
Since 1979, satellites have provided a consistent continuous record of sea ice. Through 2015, the average monthly September extent of Arctic sea ice has declined by 13.4 percent per decade relative to the average from 1981 to 2010. Declines are occurring in every geographic area, in every month, and every season. Natural variability and rising temperatures linked to global warming appear to have played a role in this decline. The Arctic may be ice-free in summer before the end of this century.
Antarctic sea ice trends are smaller and more complex. Relative to the average from 1981 to 2010, the Antarctic sea ice extent increased about 1 percent per decade, but the trends were not consistent for all areas or all seasons. The variability in Antarctic sea ice patterns makes it harder for scientists to explain Antarctic sea ice trends and to predict how Southern Hemisphere sea ice may change as greenhouse gases continue to warm the Earth. Climate models do predict that Antarctic sea ice will respond more slowly than Arctic sea ice to warming, but as temperatures continue to rise, a long-term decline is expected. |

Does climate change influence people’s migration decisions in Maldives?
Within our international team of colleagues from University College London (UCL), UK; Univesity of Agder, Norway; Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Germany; Virginia Commonwealth University, USA; and Masaryk University in Brno we published the paper based on data from three independent field researches from various parts of the Maldives island state. This state is located in the Indian Ocean and is one of four small and low-lying island countries (the other three are in the Pacific), where the highest natural point above sea level is 2.4 meters! And according to some scenarios published in the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), most populated areas should be flooded by sea level rise the end of this century. However, before that, the Maldives will lose their drinking water resources. In our field surveys, we focused on obtaining information about the perception of environmental changes in the local population and their impact in deciding whether or not to migrate.
The influence of climate change and perceptions of it on people’s migration decisions has received significant prominence, especially for people living on low-lying islands. To contribute to this literature, this paper uses Maldives as a case study for exploring the research question: How does climate change influence or not influence people’s migration decisions in Maldives? Previous work tends to start from a disciplinary climate change perspective, while this study combines migration, mobility, and island studies perspectives, within which climate change sits.
As well, rather than focusing on the area around the capital, Malé, as with many previous studies, the 113 interviews here were conducted in eight islands across three atolls. The method was qualitative, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews using purposive sampling of ordinary people. Contrary to a view of islanders preparing to flee their islands as “climate change refugees”, the interviewees provided nuanced and varied responses. They rarely identified the potential of future impacts due to climate change as influencing their migration-related decisions. When migration was considered, it was chiefly internal movement seeking a better standard of living via improved services, better living conditions, and more job opportunities. If migration related to potential climate change impacts might happen, then it was assumed to be in the future for decisions then. This lack of influence of climate change-related perceptions on Maldivians’ migration decisions fits well within island mobilities studies, from which climate change perspectives could adopt wider contexts. |

Climate scientists generally group future outlooks of the earth’s climate into two, and now possibly three, time-scales. First, there’s short term, or seasonal forecasting, which covers the next month to a year into the future. The International Research Institute for Climate and Society and other centers in the U.S. and around the world issue new seasonal forecasts every month. They tell us the likelihood a given place will see above- or below-average temperatures and rainfall. These forecasts are incredibly useful for projecting crop yields in an upcoming growing season, for example, or for managing water reservoirs. They can even help humanitarian organizations prepare better for the possibility of extended droughts or extreme weather events, which can wreak havoc on vulnerable communities.
At the other end of the time scale, we have long-term climate projections, such as those summarized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They model climate scenarios far into the future, 50-100 years, to give us an indication of average temperature and other climate characteristics on regional and planetary scales. But the associated uncertainties of long-term projections are greater than those of seasonal forecasts.
In between these two time scales is the “new kid on the block”: decadal, or near-term climate change prediction. It covers 1-10 years, and in some cases up to 20 years, into the future.
“Climate change projections are important for planning and adaptation, but in order to make it through the next 50 years, you first have to get through the next ten,” says IRI’s Lisa Goddard, the lead author of a new essay on decadal prediction in this month’s issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. “The intersection of climate variability and change is crucial at this time scale.”
Research on decadal prediction has created a buzz in the climate science community because it is still relatively new and experimental, and because it’s in high demand for the planning and decision making needed on longer term development projects. For example, a country that wants to construct a dam to meet future water and energy demands, or that is planning how it will expand agricultural production, needs to understand what climate conditions might be like in 10, 20 or 30 years. Seasonal forecasts and long term climate projections are useful, but inadequate in these cases.
Goddard, who leads IRI’s Climate Program, writes that while decadal prediction is the “fascinating baby that all wish to talk about” in the research community, it shouldn’t be viewed as competing for research dollars and attention with its “older sibling”, seasonal forecasting.
“The main point we want to get across is that research dollars invested in decadal prediction efforts benefit seasonal forecasting as well, and vice versa,” she says.
For example, both fields depend on the same type of ‘general circulation models’ used for climate projections, and they make use of the same global observing systems, which gather massive amounts of data on land, ocean and atmosphere conditions around the world that can be used to better understand and simulate physical processes. Improvements in either of these efforts will improve short-term and near-term prediction ability.
The excitement over decadal prediction is good for seasonal forecasting too, the authors write, because it draws attention to the need for climate information and its use. This can bring in funding and new research to strengthen the whole climate prediction family.
“As we research decadal variability and the potential for prediction, we also gain a better understanding of the role that this kind of variability has on year-to-year impacts, such as droughts and floods,” they write.

Let’s accept it. Climate change is a reality and current and future generations are up against the greatest challenge that humanity has ever faced.
Yet some people believe that there is a trade-off between combating climate change and delivering development for the people. Around this year’s Earth Day, it is time to explode this harmful myth. It’s time to accept that the key to dealing with both poverty and climate change is energy security. And that energy security can be achieved without fossil fuels.
On a global level renewable energy is winning the race against fossil fuels as more clean-power capacity is being installed than coal, oil and gas together. Solar power is growing faster than even we at Greenpeace predicted, and renewables are now the cheapest way to provide more electricity in an ever-growing number of countries.
Dharnai, a solar-powered village in India, shows how we can make the renewables boom deliver for all — including the rural poor. Dharnai is located in Bihar, one of the poorest provinces in India. It did not have access to electricity for 30 years before a solar mini-grid was installed with the support of Greenpeace India in July last year.
The village faces extreme poverty, deep caste divisions and very high illiteracy rates. But life in Dharnai has been transformed in the last 10 months since an affordable solar-energy grid arrived. Dharnai is the first village in India where all aspects of life are powered by solar. The 100-kilowatt (kW) system powers the 450 homes of the 2,400 residents, 50 commercial operations, two schools, a training center and a health-care facility. A battery backup ensures power is available around the clock.
Solar-powered lighting means children can now go out and play after school and finish their homework after sunset. Women feel safer venturing out after dark and families at home do not have to spend time in darkness. The arrival of solar-powered water pumps has brought new hope to many farmers in improving access to fresh-water resources. With solar energy, more villagers have been able to recharge their mobile phones regularly, and so the solar grid has also opened up Dharnai to the world of the Internet.
This is just the beginning. Improvements in the quality of life of Dharnai’s residents have become the talk of neighboring villages that are eager to understand and replicate the Dharnai model. India has 80,000 other villages that also need solar micro-grids.
That is why it is so important that Greenpeace India continues to work for a better life for India’s citizens and to help deliver clean, reliable electricity for all. Dharnai shows what real development — development that doesn’t cost the Earth — looks like. It is this kind ofsustainable development that Greenpeace India stands for. And it shows the absurdity of recent suggestions that Greenpeace in India is acting against India’s national interest.
Ironically, Greenpeace India’s work to bring energy to Dharnai has been rewarded with brickbats rather than bouquets by India’s recently elected government. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has suspended Greenpeace India’s ability to receive foreign donations and has also frozen the organization’s domestic accounts.
Even as my Indian colleagues prepare to answer the MHA’s allegations, in court if necessary, the Indian government’s actions beg the question — how does delivering electricity to a village that had none, or advocating for clean air, safe food, protecting forests and legally sanctioned rights equate to undermining economic interests?
But the story of Dharnai goes well beyond India. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide live without electricity. For them, the Dharnai solar-powered micro-grid could be a game-changer, a model for bringing clean, reliable energy to all.
Communities without electricity, and their governments, can make a leap forward by setting up their own renewable-power systems. They can avoid the pollution from coal-burning power plants and build a clean-energy system that local communities own and control.
If all of us put our efforts into achieving a renewably powered world, we can conquer climate change and vastly improve the livelihoods of people in even the poorest regions. That is the message of Earth Day in 2015. That is the message of Dharnai.

With a background in electronic manufacturing – and with environmental considerations in mind – Nigel Burtt had been thinking for a while about a solar PV system. Following the introduction of the Government Feed-In Tariff scheme, and further detailed research, he set about obtaining a number of quotations from installers and from these Gregor Heating was chosen to carry out the work.
With a south facing aspect the 2003 house is ideally situated for a solar array, however, gables at either side of the roof interfered to a small degree with the sun’s reception. To offset the shading effect, Richard Blackmore, Gregor Heating’s renewable energy specialist, recommended an eight-panel array capable of producing 1.44 kwp (killowatt peak) energy, to be placed between the two gable roofs.
To Mr and Mrs Burtt’s delight, installation of the Grant Monocrystalline panels and connection to the existing household electrical systemwas completed in just one day. Further, they found the Gregor engineers friendly, carrying out their work in a clean and tidy manner.
Commenting, Nigel Burtt acknowledges that a PV installation is a long-term investment and that one needs to want to do it for more than just financial reasons. However, he felt that the uncertainty of future energy prices and the Government’s FIT initiative, together with the added value to the property, made solar PV a viable consideration.
And, he added, he is happy to recommend Gregor to anyone. |

The Impact of Renewable Energy on Climate Change
The rising levels of greenhouse gases, caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels for energy, pose one of the biggest threats to our planet in the form of climate change. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is one of the most effective solutions to this problem. But how exactly does renewable energy impact climate change? Let's delve deeper into this topic.
Understanding Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is derived from resources that naturally replenish themselves over short periods of time, such as the sun, wind, and water. The primary types of renewable energy include solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal power. The crucial advantage of these sources is that they release far fewer greenhouse gases than fossil fuels.
1. Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Renewable energy impacts climate change primarily by significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional energy sources, like coal, oil, and natural gas, release substantial amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases when burned for electricity generation. These gases trap heat in the earth's atmosphere, leading to a rise in global temperatures, also known as global warming.
In contrast, renewable energy sources emit little to no greenhouse gases during operation. For instance, wind turbines and solar panels produce electricity without associated CO2 emissions. Thus, transitioning to renewable energy sources can help mitigate the severity of climate change by drastically reducing our global carbon footprint.
2. Conserving Water Resources
Traditional power plants require substantial amounts of water for cooling purposes, leading to significant water withdrawals from our rivers and lakes. Moreover, the potential for water pollution from coal mining and gas extraction processes poses an additional environmental concern.
Renewable energy sources, on the other hand, use significantly less water. In particular, wind and solar photovoltaic systems require no water to generate electricity. By reducing our reliance on water-intensive energy sources, we can conserve valuable water resources, which are projected to become increasingly scarce due to climate change.
3. Promoting Energy Independence and Security
Fueled by traditional energy practices, climate change threatens both environmental and economic stability. Extreme weather events and rising sea levels can disrupt energy production and distribution.
Renewable energy sources, widely distributed over the Earth, provide a secure and robust electricity supply. They offer countries the potential to reduce their dependence on imported fuels, thereby increasing their energy security and resilience against potential disruptions caused by climate-related events or geopolitical issues.
4. Job Creation and Economic Benefits
The shift towards renewable energy also presents economic benefits. The renewable energy sector is more labor-intensive than the fossil fuel industry, creating more jobs per unit of energy produced. This can stimulate economic growth and provide some social benefits as we grapple with the impacts of climate change.
Conclusion
Renewable energy presents a powerful tool in our fight against climate change. By transitioning away from fossil fuel-based energy, we can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve water resources, enhance energy security, and stimulate economic growth. While the journey towards a fully renewable energy future may be complex and challenging, its benefits for our climate and future generations make it a path worth pursuing.

During the last two decades, the UNFCCC focus has shifted from ‘mitigation’ to ‘mitigation and adaptation.’ And it now finally included ‘Loss and Damage’ in its current agenda. The emergence of ‘Loss and Damage’ as a focus area of the international climate policy arena is caused by the realization that existing mitigation commitments and actions won’t prevent dangerous climate change-related impacts.
Moreover, not all climate change impacts can be successfully adapted to, be it due to financial, technical or physical constraints. Hence, climate change will lead to unavoidable losses induced by extreme weather events as well as slow-onset changes.Vulnerable countries, like Small Island Developing States, already experience loss and damage and the scope will increase over the next years.
The COP23, the first “Island COP” with Fiji as a presidency, provides a unique opportunity for Small Island Developing States and other vulnerable developing countries to raise awareness for their climate change-related challenges, and to bring their concerns into the center of the negotiations.
Within UNFCCC, the establishment of the Warsaw International Mechanism for ‘Loss and Damage’ in 2013, got embedded institutionally within the international climate regime – providing a platform to explore and identify effective responses to climate change induced Loss and Damage, to expand the understanding of climate consequences and to find an appropriate mix of tools to address ‘Loss and Damage’.
However, ‘Loss and Damage’ is an ambiguous and multifaceted concept for the vulnerable countries, especially those disproportionally affected by climate change, have highlighted the need for compensatory measures. In contrast, developed countries have sought to limit discussion of liability and compensation, framing loss and damage as a matter of adaptation. The trade-off was that developed countries would “enable action and provide support to developing countries” to deal with the ‘Loss and Damage.’
“Developed countries can’t keep putting off the issue. It must feature in the global stock take of steps being taken by governments around the world to combat climate change.” Sandeep Chamling Rai, senior adviser for global adaptation policy, WWF International.
But, according to Harjeet Singh, global lead on climate change for ActionAid International, “Loss and Damage is at the core of the COP23 agenda. It is now the third pillar to combat climate change, becoming more important as the first two pillars mitigation and adaptation were not strengthened when they were supposed to be.”
At the COP23, another major global initiative launched to provide insurance to 400 million poor and vulnerable people around the world by 2020. The project, called the InsuResilience Global Partnership, aims to provide insurance against the damage increasingly being caused by global warming.
This scheme for both Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance Solutions at COP23, the first Partnership Forum brought together signatories and aspiring members in a joint effort to lay the foundation for effective collaboration in the field of financial protection against climate change.
The InsuResilience scheme started in 2015 by the G7 earlier. Patricia Espinosa, the UN’s climate chief, said: “People devastated by recent weather events and communities vulnerable to climatic impacts are looking to the nations meeting in Bonn for an answer. This new, higher ambition initiative represents one shining example of what can be delivered.”
It represents a joint effort of G20 and V20 countries to protect vulnerable populations from the adverse effects of climate change. More than 30 partners from governments, civil society, international organizations, academia and the industry have already expressed their support and commitment.
The forum provided an inclusive platform for participants from all sectors to discuss the role of the partnership for the broader resilience agenda and to develop concrete priorities and measures that will help build greater resilience for disproportionately affected countries. The Global Partnership Forum will take place annually to facilitate communication and exchange of information and knowledge among its members.
“The global partnership is a practical response to the needs of those who suffer loss because of climate change,” said Frank Bainimarama, prime minister of Fiji. The small island’s chairing of the climate talks has highlighted climate impacts, and climate insurance has been one of the major themes of discussion.
The UNFCCC Executive Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage also launched a clearinghouse for risk transfer – a repository of information on insurance and related subjects.
The partnership forum might create the new door of negotiation where climate insurance is being one of the key strategies to better prepare countries for climate change. In Bonn, a growing number of member states planned to include insurance strategies in their efforts to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, international NGO ActionAid said that insurance is not a safety net for all.
“Insurance might turn out to be a piece of the puzzle, but we can’t pretend that it’s a safety net for everyone,” said Harjeet Singh. “Insurance does sometimes help people who are impacted by floods or cyclones, but it won’t be an option for those facing certain losses. Private companies are unlikely to sell insurance to those facing rising sea levels.”
Still, it is an important question, who will bear the costs of insurance premiums for the various global initiatives. Should the poor people in vulnerable countries, need to pay for climate insurance? On the one hand, developed countries aren’t allowing UN climate talks to make any progress on the issue of climate finance. In conclusion, it is hard to say that the insurance initiatives for vulnerable to climate change impacts are on the right pathway. It is yet to pinpoint the requirements to do to account for the loss and damage suffered by communities.
However, the Warsaw International Mechanism has developed three areas of work: knowledge generation, coordination, and enabling action and providing support to developing countries.
The main dilemma is that there has been no progress on finance in this area. There is no estimate of how much money is and will be needed by countries suffering climate change-induced loss and damage now and in the future.
Within UNFCCC, Warsaw International Mechanism is preparing a report on this, but it is not scheduled for completion until June 2019. Meanwhile, such a report is being prepared by COP23 delegates, mainly from the United States and Australia to block all discussions on finances around loss and damage.
Many governments have emphasized the role of insurance firms in dealing with Loss and Damage; firms which have already reported record payouts this year following a series of storms in North America and the Caribbean, and floods in South Asia.
Nevertheless, it has pointed out that, the insurance policies did not take care of climate impacts that are relatively slow, such as drought, sea level rise and ocean acidification, which are the severe climate change impact faced by the Pacific region.
Now, it is a challenge for the vulnerable countries to develop their working mechanisms to satisfy Warsaw International Mechanism to step forward the progress on finance.
The fact, ‘Loss and Damage’ clearly reflect the divide between developed countries and those most vulnerable countries. About 44% of the Small Island Developing States and 34% of the Least Developed Countries refer to ‘Loss and Damage’ in the ‘Intended Nationally Determined Contributions’ made under the Paris Agreement, none of the industrialized countries do.
In such dilemma of financial solutions, many governments in the vulnerable countries have started developing their mechanisms for ‘Loss and Damage.’ For example, Bangladesh has already set aside contingency funds for climate-related disasters, now is being considered as the development of a dedicated ‘Loss and Damage’ mechanism. Other countries have developed regional risk pooling solutions – such as the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) – or national insurance mechanisms. Most importantly, these mechanisms need to be able to reach those most in need of financial support: poor households with a high dependency on natural resources for their livelihoods.

The Town of Taber lost a good man last month.
That fact was made apparent at the packed funeral mass at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church for Paul Marcel Giroux.
I’m not going to pretend I knew Paul to any great extent, bumping into him the odd time at the golf course as he hung out with his ‘coffee crew.’ But, I felt like I did as I listened at the two-hour funeral service as the priest, his ‘coffee crew’ and family gave their testaments to the man’s life.
Maybe that’s the draw of small-town life, even acquaintances can feel like friends at times with how close our community is connected. Giroux had a life filled with many health struggles, including being the longest living heart transplant recipient in the province along with a donated kidney from his daughter 10 years ago.
After his heart transplant, courtesy of an 18-year-old donor, Giroux was quoted in the Edmonton Journal in 1987…“I was saved by a young man, I promise I will make my life good for him.”
But despite all the challenges, Paul kept his sense of humour and importance of family in place. As some of the zingers were recounted at the funeral mass I thought to myself, ‘this man has my kind of sense of humour.’
It was that same sense of humour that belongs to his daughter Steph, the one I am most connected to through the newspaper. As I sat down to take in the Gold Medal World Junior game with friends at Boston Pizza, Steph stopped by to say hi.
She did your regular pleasantries anyone does in which she inquired if I had a girl in my life. Given any steady relationship I have had in my life with members of the fairer sex occur with as much frequency as U.S. presidential campaigns, she was perhaps a tad shocked when I said ‘yes.’ “She’s not one of those girls you have to inflate is it?” she inquired.
I answered no, going even so far as to say she doesn’t even charge more for the hugging and kissing. As I said, Steph and her father Paul have my type of humour.
I’ve really only known Steph recently through her determined charity work that I have helped publish in the newspaper like the Bernice Giroux ‘We Have Not Forgotten’ Memorial Golf Tournament, the Girls Just Want to Have Fun 80s Theme Charity Golf Tournament, or the 12 Days of Christmas campaign.
Through Steph’s efforts, $34,950 was raised for Linden View Alzheimer’s and Dementia Cottages for blood pressure monitoring kits and a bladder scanner to go with $1,700 worth of recreational equipment and games that are specially designed for people with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Organization like TCAPS (Taber Community Action Prevention Society), the Taber and District Handibus Association, Safe Haven Women’s Shelter, Taber Food Bank, animal shelter, and the importance of organ donation have all got greater awareness with ventures Steph has helped spear head.
With a ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ attitude and her determination, I wonder if those were some similar traits she inherited from her father as both traits would have served them both well in the newspaper business.
Steph’s connections would serve the newspaper business as well. I was amazed when I played in the Bernice Gioux ‘We Have Not Forgotten’ Memorial Golf Tournament, the prizes she was able to secure for the fundraiser. I do not think there was a single golfer that left the tournament without a prize as I saw Paul MC part of the banquet afterwards, once again using his humour to bring smiles to people’s faces. People say I am connected in this community, but I do not hold a candle with how Steph is in the ground roots level of this community.
As I have got to know Steph more this past year-and-a half, and listened to the testimonials at Paul Giroux’s funeral, I can see how his traits have been passed on and how his legacy continues through his friends and his family.
It may sound cliché, but clichés continue to exist because of their truth. While we pass on with our mortality, our immortality comes form the impression we leave behind with our loved ones.
Judging by the outpour of emotion and testimonials at Paul Giroux’s funeral, I would be both honoured and humbled if when I leave this earth, I had a mere fraction of the impact Paul had on so many lives.

New research campaign within the context of the Edu4Climate project
Research scientists of CARE-C at the Cyprus Institute, in collaboration with representatives of RAYMETRICS, partners of the Edu4Climate Horizon project (coordinated by CARE-C), have completed a new research campaign, as part of the Edu4Climate’s objective to co-develop innovative environmental products and services with surrounding ecosystems, in order to address climate-relevant challenges across the EMME region. The campaign took place on 8-31 May, 2024.
A CARE-C team, led by Associate Research Scientist, Dr Maria Kezoudi, and members of the Cyprus Atmospheric Observatory (CAO) and the Unmanned Systems Research Laboratory (USRL) facilities of the Centre, collected data using sensors on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which were flown at air pollution hotspots in Cyprus. This data will be used to validate new, advanced PMeye lidar technology, which will then be utilised to enhance the accurate measurement of emissions in real-world environmental monitoring scenarios, such as ship plumes and emissions from power plants.
The campaign was organised within the context of the Edu4Climate Horizon programme.

CLIMATE CHANGE DOCUMENTARIES
Top ten nature documentaries to raise your climate change awareness
Documentaries have become one of our greatest allies in the battle against climate change. Actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio, politicians like Al Gore, artists such as Vik Muniz, musicians like Philip Glass and photographers such as James Balog have all engaged in this kind of projects to help raise awareness about a problem that is threatening the future of the coming generations.
CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE CINEMA
The documentary genre has become one of the most effective tools to raise people's awareness about the value of nature and the devastating effect that climate change can have — and indeed will have unless we stop it —. With such a complex phenomenon, it is possible and necessary to address it from different points of view. Fortunately, there are plenty of films out there that focus on illustrating the causes and consequences of climate change, as well as showing how precious our natural heritage is.
THE BEST DOCUMENTARIES ON NATURE AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Here is a look at some of the best documentaries dedicated to environmental topics, according to viewers and critics:
An Inconvenient Truth (2006), Davis Guggenheim
The first documentary to show the devastating effects of climate change. This film marked a turning point, as well as winning the Oscar for Best Documentary. Narrated by former US Vice President Al Gore, the film paints an unsettling picture of our planet under the threat of vast amounts of CO2 emissions due to human activity. The claim promised it to be "By far the most terrifying film you will ever see", and it still has an impact on people to this day.
On YouTube and Google Play.
Tomorrow (2015), Cyril Dion, Mélanie Laurent
Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent, the lead actress in Inglorious Basterds (2009), set off with a small team of four to visit ten countries and investigate the causes of climate change and, more importantly, how to prevent it. On their travels, they meet pioneers who are reinventing agriculture, energy, the economy, democracy and education. By the end, they can see a glimmer of hope for a new world.
Waste Land (2010), Lucy Walker
As Brazilian artist Vik Muniz works on an installation in Jardim Gramacho (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), one of the world's biggest landfills, documentary director Lucy Walker films his work to show viewers what daily life is like for the people living there. The finished product combines ugliness and beauty in an unusual approach to raising awareness about excessive waste and how it affects global warming.
Before the Flood (2016), Fisher Stevens
A glimpse at the effects of climate change on our surroundings, from saving endangered species to find ways for society to prevent these effects by changing certain habits. Filmed over a three-year period, this documentary, produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, features interviews with global celebrities like Barack Obama, Ban Ki-moon and Pope Francis.
On Disney +.
Baraka (1992), Ron Fricke
Baraka is a Sufi word meaning 'breath of life', and this documentary is just that. Shot in 24 different countries, Fricke and his team manage to capture the essence of nature and how humans interrelate with the environment. Without needing to use words, this celebrated production succeeds in showing the destruction people can cause, while appealing to their spirituality as the crucial element in preserving our planet.
Home (2009), Yann Arthus-Bertrand
The documentary shows the harmful effects of mankind on Earth — in just 200,000 years of existence, humans have upset the balance of almost 4 billion years —, but it also warns us that it is too late to be pessimistic. Yann Arthus-Bertrand brings us never-before-seen images of over 50 countries seen from the sky in order to share his amazement at so much beauty and his concern for the future, calling on us all to take action and realise just how much our home is worth.
On YouTube.
Chasing Ice (2012), Jeff Orlowski
Acclaimed photographer James Balog, directed by Jeff Orlowski, ventures into the farthest depths of the Arctic to reveal the true extent of climate change. Over years they visited the most remote areas in Iceland, Greenland and Alaska in order to capture the phenomenon of melting glaciers and its staggering impact on nature. Watching huge chunks of ice come crashing down is enough to make even the most sceptical of viewers change their tune.
On Netflix.
Earth (2007), Alastair Fothergill, Mark Linfield
A fascinating journey across the Earth, from north to south through all four seasons, to portray the striking contrast that lies in all corners of the globe and its natural transformations. Conceived as a series, it was filmed for five years at over 200 locations in 26 different countries, and also released an abridged 96-minute version that selects the best footage. This documentary manages to show the beauty of the animal kingdom in all its glory, as well as warning that it is gradually deteriorating due to climate change.
Oceans (2009), Jacques Perrin, Jacques Cluzaud
The Earth is also known as the blue planet, since after all more than 70% of the surface is under water. After dazzling the audience with Winged Migration, Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud now take to the seas and oceans with the latest in filming techniques — they had a budget of over €50 million — to discover underwater creatures and campaign against the destabilising effect of human activity under the waves.
On YouTube and Google Play.
Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Godfrey Reggio
The unusual title of this 1983 documentary means 'life out of balance' in the language spoken by the ancient American Hopi tribe. It became the first production to warn of the impact of humankind on nature. Its powerfully moving images are enhanced by the music composed by Philip Glass. In 2000, the film was classed as 'culturally, historically and aesthetically significant' by the United States Library of Congress and was selected to be kept in the National Film Registry. |

It's definitely felt wintry the past few days. After some rain last week, this week has found us dipping into the teens at night, and the past couple days not getting much above 30F for our high. Today, especially, has been dark and cold. Although Avery and I didn't get out for a walk on the in the windy cold yesterday, we did brave the upper 20s today, armored with coats and hats and gloves (only a coat in Avery's case). It actually felt good to get moving in the chill air, but equally good to come back in near the wood stove. And...thankfully...I got another full cord of wood delivered Wednesday morning!
I got out a few nights ago, to take pictures of my Christmas lights. They're nothing special, really, and exist wherever I can reach using nothing more than a stepladder. Still, I like them.
It's been a strange year (did I say that in my last post??) and my days have felt a little odd and foggy recently. Clearly, I'm just moving through how I move through (although I admit I sometimes worry about myself). In just a few days I'll be winging my way to the home of my heart (not to diss my physical home and I'm working on anchoring my heart here), the Bay Area. I look forward to feeling all the feels, being with family and seeing my sweet Pacific ocean again...

What word comes to mind when I think back to my first five training camps with the Carolina Panthers and look forward to my sixth one?
Hot.
The forecast for the first few days at training camp in Spartanburg, S.C., and the forecast back in Charlotte is virtually identical, but all heat is not created equal. It will top out around 90 both places this weekend (a veritable cold snap by recent summer standards), but somehow Spartanburg seems to sizzle a little more.
The sizzle at training camp, however, won't be limited to the at-times-oppressive temperatures. Here are some reasons Panthers training camp should be a hot topic around the water cooler over the next few weeks.
TURNING UP THE HEAT: For those counting down the days until the NFL regular season kicks off, the start of training camp marks a momentous occasion. When the players report to Wofford College on Thursday morning, football will be on the front burner (pun intended) for the next six months. The Panthers' preseason opener will be 15 days away; their regular season opener 45 days away. But the wait for wall-to-wall Panthers coverage is over.
HOT ON THE HEELS: Training camp is about identifying the group of players best equipped to help the Panthers win games come the regular season, and that naturally leads to heated competition. Starting jobs and key reserve roles hang in the balance at almost every position, and the fight for the final few of the 53 roster spots will rage on among the 90 players in camp. Whether you pick out a position group to pay special attention to or pick an underdog player to root for in his quest for a roster spot, training camp battles always add intrigue and intensity to the dog days of summer.
IN HOT PURSUIT: Training camp is a major piece of the puzzle when it comes to the still-to-be-written story of the 2014 Carolina Panthers, one that fans hope will have a storybook ending. Coming off consecutive division titles and their first playoff victory in nine years, the Panthers are in hot pursuit of the ultimate trophy – a pursuit whose roots can be traced back to sultry Spartanburg. |

Description
|
The global climate, a shared resource, needs collaborative efforts worldwide. A behavioral science perspective can help to better understand the human factor, which is crucial in addressing climate change. To improve our knowledge about the global willingness to cooperate and act against climate change, a team of researchers comprising Armin Falk, Peter Andre, Teodora Boneva, and Felix Chopra designed and conducted a globally representative survey. The study aimed to assess the potential for successful global climate action by exploring individuals' willingness to contribute to the common good and their perceptions of others' willingness.
Drawing from multidisciplinary literature on cooperation, the study focused on four critical behavioral facets: the willingness to incur personal costs, the emergence of social norms, the demand for political action, and the belief that others will act as well (conditional cooperation). Close to 130,000 individual interviews were conducted in 125 countries, with nationally representative samples collectively representing 92% of the global population, 96% of greenhouse gas emissions, and 96% of the world’s GDP.
Main Findings The study reveals three main findings. Firstly, global support for climate action is widespread and substantial, with about two-thirds of the global population expressing willingness to contribute 1% of their income. Social norms favoring climate action were nearly universal (86%), and a majority (89%) called for increased political action. Secondly, individuals in more vulnerable countries demonstrated significantly higher willingness to contribute, while richer countries exhibited relatively lower willingness. Thirdly, a perception gap exists globally, with people underestimating the widespread support for climate action in their countries by an average of 26 percentage points.
Conclusion The findings have implications for successful global climate action. While the world demonstrates readiness to combat climate change, a significant obstacle lies in the "pluralistic ignorance" that hampers accurate perception of others' attitudes. Effective communication is crucial to correct this perception gap and mobilize collective action, emphasizing that the majority supports climate action and expects governmental commitment.

At California Survival School we believe that weather is neither good nor bad, it just is!
As such, we operate rain or shine and do not cancel classes for rainy, windy or hot, etc. days. We just ask that students dress appropriately for the weather (and come prepared for potential changes in weather!). We also ask that students remember to bring things such as water and a lunch to our day classes in order to help their body properly regulate core temperature.
Furthermore, while we do not cancel classes for weather, we may decide to cancel classes or events if we deem that conditions are unsafe (i.e – flash flooding danger, tornadoes, forest fires, etc.). If classes are cancelled, we will do our best to contact students as quickly as possible via email and phone.
All participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for all single day adventures. The minimum age for all overnight trips is 18 years or older unless the trip details specifically specify otherwise. Exceptions to our standard age restrictions will be considered on a case-by-case basis for all private/custom programs.
California Survival School incurs most program expenses while preparing for our courses and trips. As such, any cancellation request for a single-day public course must be received in writing via email at least 14 days prior to the course date. For all multi-day classes, overnight trips, and private events, any cancellation request must be received in writing via email at least 60 days prior to the start date of the event, course, or trip. Any cancellation request made before the applicable cancellation date is eligible to receive a full refund (minus a $15 per-person processing transaction fee for single-day public courses, a $50 processing fee for multi-day courses, trips and private events under $1500, and a 3% processing fee for all program registrations exceeding $1500). Reschedules/transfers will also be charged the applicable processing fee outside of the applicable 14 / 60 day periods as well. Once within the cancellation period (14 days or 60 days respectively), there will be no transfers, reschedules, or refunds allowed. Full refunds or reschedules free of charge will be made if California Survival School is forced to cancel a program. These standard cancellation terms are applicable unless other cancellation/refund policies are specifically written in the payment product details by California Survival School. |

To those looking from outside at Australia’s response to climate change, we Aussies must seem to be a nation of idiots. Catastrophic weather events are destroying homes, livelihoods and biodiversity at unprecedented rates, yet Australia has the least ambitious climate plans of any developed nation.
With an election coming on Saturday (21 May) Scott Morrison, the prime minister, spruiks “the Australian Way”, which relies on technology to solve the problem “over time”. This absolves the government from doing anything and “back ends” our efforts so that most of them will be happening close to 2050. The Australian Way is in fact an Australian Crawl (as a rather comical swimming style is known). For a country recently devastated by the worst fires on record, and then by unprecedented floods, the Australian Way smacks of too little, far too late. The truth is that most Australians are acutely aware of the dangers of climate change and want swift action to combat it. Yet at the last election the conservative Liberal-National coalition government, which is committed to the Australian Way, was returned to power.
A lot has happened since that election. The nation has been seared by bushfires that were ten times as extensive as any before, and the pace of reconstruction has been so slow that about 90 per cent of the thousands who lost their homes remain homeless. Then came the floods, which have repeatedly devastated thousands more homes and lives. Even those living in the cities have not escaped — first enduring months of toxic smoke, then floods and inescapable mildew, and months without the sun. The beaches have been unusable, marred by ash then sewerage and other sources of polluted water.
For many, the Australia of 2022 bears no resemblance to the sunny, carefree country they grew up in. And things are set to rapidly get worse. Home ownership is the ultimate dream of many Australians, yet climate change looks set to make one in 25 homes uninsurable by 2030. Surely, you might think, it’s time for a change? Yet it’s by no means clear that a landslide of climate awareness will sweep the present government from power.
The conservative government won the 2019 election with a scare campaign. Addressing climate change, they said, would destroy the economy of entire regions as mines and power plants were closed down. And the uptake of electric vehicles would destroy the tradition of the “Australian weekend”. Any action to address climate change, in fact, was labelled as economy wrecking, a message that the polluting industries amplified. All of this was reinforced with a dog-whistled message to the “coal electorates” that if you don’t have coal, you’ve got nothing. This campaign has been running for decades, and because the Labor Party has proved unwilling to counter it with a policy platform offering a just transition to green energy, it has flourished. I happen to live in a coal electorate, so I know first-hand how effective the campaign has been.
Australia is the largest exporter of coal (by calorific value) and the largest exporter of natural gas. Huge investments have been made on the premise that these exports will continue for decades. The fact that customers might stop buying sooner because of concerns about climate change represents an existential threat to the companies involved. And with prices for fossil fuels at record levels, they have the money to spend on shaping public opinion.
As a climate activist, I’m enraged that climate change is the elephant in the room for the major parties. Among independents and minor parties, however, the issue is getting plenty of air-time. Some of the most interesting candidates are the-so-called “teal” independents (conservative blue, with a tinge of green). Across the country around a dozen are standing for election, most of them challenging conservatives in hitherto safe seats. These independents are mostly professionals, and all are concerned about climate change, corruption in government and social inequality. At the last election the first teal independent, Zali Steggall, beat the former prime minister Tony Abbott in one of the safest seats in the country. She proved indefatigable in parliament, introducing a much-needed climate change bill, and she looks certain to win again at this election.
Many of the teals come from impeccable conservative backgrounds. Kate Chaney is challenging the conservative incumbent in the seat of Curtin, Western Australia. Her grandfather, father and uncle were all prominent in the Liberal Party, but her family now proudly supports her as an independent. If Chaney and half a dozen other teals win, come Saturday they may well hold the balance of power. If that occurs, Australia looks set to embark on an aggressive, if belated, programme of action on climate change.

Wherefore Art Thou Summer?
Much of the country is dealing with unusually high temperatures, but Central California gardeners are being kept out of the garden by unusual weather of a different sort. Rain. In June. Lots of it. It has been interesting to say the least. But today was a mostly sunny and bit warmer day...it may have even gotten into the 80s and I can see some of the soil drying out. I might even get to mow the bit of grass that passes for a lawn here before the BBQ this Sunday celebrating my last child's graduation from college!
In the meantime I've been keeping an eye on the berries and they are slowly but surely ripening, which is better than all at once I suppose, or getting dehydrated before they can be picked. This handful was a perfect dessert.
Tomatoes are also ripening, but in the interest of full disclosure I must admit these are Early Girls, bought in a moment of despair brought on by rain, that came with little tomatoes already on the plant. In any case, I'm keeping an eye on them too.
And lastly, the agapanthus is just about to unfold its flowers into the pseudo-umbel that rises a couple of feet above its strappy leaves. Some white and some blue of varying shades, the agapanthus will bloom over the next month or so.
Just in time to welcome summer...I hope.

I think we have your summer here, with high temps at least, and I'd be glad for you to take it back. "Wherefore Art Thou Late Spring" is my plea!
The berries look yummy!
I had agapanthus in my wedding bouquet- can't wait to see them bloom!
It's about time you got some sun! Good deal on the berries and tomatoes, no matter how you came to have them. And a huge congrat on the youngest finishing college, too! Well done!

Your fruits are beautiful. I love Agapanthus, it is the most perfect blue.
Leslie, I know the rain is starting to get you down, but it's looking really good there. Wish I could send you just a few degrees of heat.~~Dee
Thanks everyone! It is warmer today...I'm hoping for a few spring days. The best blue I have right now is Storm Cloud...it isn't budding yet but I will let you see it when it does...it's wonderful!
I am not sure those berries would make it into the house to add to a bowl of cereal. They sure look delicious. Happiest of graduation celebrations~ gail
I would say that you were getting our rain, and we were getting your warm temperatures... except that we still have the rains, too! :( It sure has been a weird year so far, hasn't it? I bet those berries are sweetening it a little bit for you, though. :)
Your berries look delicious!
I'm wondering if this summer is going to be a cool summer like last year. My tomatoes stayed green for the longest time.

Luxuriating in my Greenhouse
How Cool is That (Greenhouse)?
Having a greenhouse is a much-appreciated luxury. To avoid being profligate, I eke all that I can from its every square inch in every season.
For starters, it’s a cool greenhouse — temperature-wise “cool,” not “ain’t this a cool greenhouse” cool. Winter temperatures are permitted inside drop to 35°F. before the propane heater kicks on. And in summer, roll-up sidewalls let in plenty of cooler, outside air to save energy (and noise) in running the cooling fan. Demands on the cooling fan are also minimized by letting summer temperatures reach almost 100°F. before the fan awakens.
I have to choose my plants carefully for them to tolerate such conditions.
Right now, lettuce, arugula, mâche, celery, parsley, kale, and Swiss chard seedlings and small transplants trace green lines up and down ground beds in the greenhouse. I sowed seed of most of these cold-loving vegetables about a month ago. They’re too small to harvest now. No matter: The outdoor vegetable garden is still replete with greenery available for harvest through November and, probably, on into December. By then, greenhouse greenery will have grown to harvest size, then continue to do so very slowly through the dark, cold days.
And the 100° summers in the greenhouse? Above the beds spread the branches of three large fig trees, planted right into the ground (rather than pots). From those branches dangle ripe and ripening figs, as they have since July. Figs originated in the searing heat of summers in Western Asia; they can take the 100° heat of my greenhouse. Soon, cooler temperatures and lowering sun will drive the trees to stop ripening fruits, and lose their leaves and enter dormancy. (Figs are subtropical, rather than tropical, trees, so enjoy a cool — but not frigid — winter rest.) The few, leafless branches, most of them pruned back, will cast little shade to let the cool weather greenery in the ground beds below bask in what little sunlight fall and winter have to offer.
Starting in February, my greenhouse does triple duty, becoming also a home for transplants for the upcoming season’s vegetable and flower gardens. I plant the first seeds — onions, lettuce, celery, and leek — in early February, sowing them in seed flats on the narrow bench along the greenhouse’s north wall.
(Hot) Beds in Summer
As each spring morphs into summer in the greenhouse, fig growth begins anew and winter’s cool weather vegetables wane and are cleared away.
How about putting the ground beds beneath the awakening fig trees to some good use? In the past, I’ve tried growing melons and cucumbers, all of which originated in hot regions of Africa and Asia, in those beds. Neither the melons nor the cucumbers did particularly well — yet.
Ginger Loved the Heat
Which brings us to this week’s ginger harvest. Greenhouse beds this summer provide a warm, moist home in which to grow ginger, a plant indigenous to the hot, muggy climate of south China. Ginger would be hardly worth growing if all I wanted was the khaki-skinned rhizomes that I could pick off a supermarket shelf. Those tough-hided roots are mature ginger, which has a fibrous flesh.
What I was shooting for was baby ginger, whose pink-tinged, white skin, encloses flesh that is tender, lily-white, and free of fibre. The flavor is a little different than mature ginger, cleaner. This tropical plant I figured could — and it did — thrive in my hot greenhouse all summer.
To get started, way back in March, I purchased a single root of mature ginger at the supermarket, broke it into four sections, and potted each section into a 4 inch pot. As I said, the plant needs heat, so I set the pots on my seed-starting mat to maintain a temperature of about 70°F. Still, it took awhile for green sprouts to show.
The potted ginger plants were ready to plant out in a greenhouse bed just as the last of winter’s vegetables were being cleared away there. After planting, I refurbished the soil with a mulch of compost. Cool soil got the plants off to a slow start but once summer heat kicked in outdoors, and then really kicked in within the greenhouse, the ginger thrived.
The goal was to let ginger linger to eke maximum yield but not so long that the rhizome would begin to mature. I also needed space for this winter’s plantings. As it turns out, the first objective, maximum yield, was moot. Yields were prodigious, four plants yielding much more than we could possibly eat.
Pickle It
The first order of business with the harvested baby ginger was to pickle it. All that was needed was to slice it thinly with a carrot peeler then pour boiling vinegar sweetened with a bit of maple syrup over it. |

Although town council’s May 9 resolution to release funds and allow the Baseball-Softball Enhancement Society to move construction forward on a fourth ball diamond at Ken McDonald Memorial Sports Park was rescinded last week, discussion at the special meeting had touched on the scope of the project and its original intent.
In 2018, the project was reviewed by the Taber Recreation Board and later presented to council, and following deliberations for the 2019 capital budget, council had approved $250,000 for the construction of a fourth ball diamond at KMMSP.
In April 2019, the rec board had signed off on a plan to allow M.D. of Taber volunteers to begin the preliminary dirt work at the site, but asked for further information to be presented with regard to the society’s budget and actual costs before taking more action. In May, the society had presented a budget to the rec board while requesting council “meet at their earliest convenience” or hold a special meeting to approve funds for the project.
At the same meeting, administration was seeking direction from council with regard to how to “move this project forward given the past intent and the current context of the project.” Concerns had also arisen among council and administration that the society’s intent in completing the fourth ball diamond had drifted into the consideration of multiple projects not specifically associated with the diamond itself.
“We’ve had Ken Mac sports field for over 20 years as an uncompleted place for all of our user groups to use,” said society president Suzanne Peters on May 9. “We have to haul out porta-potties every year, there’s no shade. It’s just not a desired location in town for user groups to use. Baseball and softball is one of the user groups that’s actually using it at all ages… it’s not just to complete the one diamond in our vision. And this is why we formed the society. If we just want to do the one diamond, that’s I guess your guy’s decision, but we’re looking at the bigger picture to finish this facility that’s been sitting there unfinished for over 20 years.”
According to a Stantec Engineering report from May 2015 included as part of the May 9 meeting’s agenda package, construction of a fourth diamond was expected to cost $382,311.75, consisting of $14,500 for overall site preparation, $254,145 for field construction, $38,800 for the stadium area, and $25,000 in consulting fees.
Information in a May 2019 phase one project budget from the society indicates that various donations and discounted quotes have significantly reduced costs from previous estimates. According to the society’s numbers, for spring work currently underway the Municipal District of Taber has contributed $48,000 in ground work, while other quotes for hydro seed have come in at $7,000 (previous quote $63,480 for sod), $28,471 for fencing (previous quote $68,000), and sprinklers $6,500 (previous quote $50,000). This totals $41,971 (previous combined quotes $120,280).
Planned summer work includes shale (estimated at $63,000), drainage tile and geo-textile $4,700 (previous quote $20,640), dugouts (estimated at $12,000), bleachers and gravel pads (estimated at $18,000), jock box (estimated at $1,200), and bases and home plate (estimated at $5,000). This would result in $145,817 spent from the town’s previously allocated.
“You made a comment about doing more than just the fourth diamond,” said Coun. Joe Strojwas. “It’s my understanding we allocated $250,000 specifically to complete that diamond. Now it’s my understanding you want to change the goalposts on that?”
Society treasurer Rick Popadynetz responded that the group’s intention was to push forward with multiple projects as part of a phase two development.
“What we want to do — and we brought it to your attention last year at the March 26 meeting, and you guys agreed to move forward with this project. We’re moving forward, and we’re going to save money, but we want to roll that money into the next phase where we can maybe connect a sewer line through into our concession into bathrooms out there, and showers for the park. The football association is interested in helping out and working with us to put water to their facilities to make their concession a little bit better. The other thing would be to connect sewer to the air cadet hall to offset the cost of a sump program, to have guys coming in to suck out the sewage and septic tanks.”
“So we want to roll that money that we’ve saved from that $250,000 into our phase two, and then if we have however much funding from our sponsorship, we’d like to keep rolling that money so we can get more done, a bigger bang for your buck.”
Strojwas immediately questioned if the public funds that had been approved by the town were being applied to the project for which they had been allocated by council.
“I appreciate your foresight in wanting to move, but the funds — the way I understand it — were specifically committed to the completion of that fourth diamond. If it’s going to go further than that, and we’re going to start putting other infrastructure in there, I think council needs to re-evaluate the commitment that they made for that $250,000, because I don’t think you can just take money and allocate it to a different project, because that project was project-specific for that fourth diamond.”
Coun. Louie Tams agreed.
“I understood it exactly the same way that Councillor Strojwas does, the $250,000 was earmarked for the completion of a fourth diamond. I think we need to concentrate on that first before we move ahead with anything further, because now we’re taking on a different project.”
Peters had reiterated her position that the society’s goals include finishing much more than the fourth ball diamond.
“I agree with you completely,” said Strojwas. “I suggest that you go back to your society and draw up plans — your vision for the future — and make a presentation to the rec board and come back for a different kind of funding. I don’t think we can cross-reference on this, I really don’t. I understand fully that it needs to be completed out there, but we need to do it in a progressive manner, we just can’t allocate funds for infrastructure and different things. I would suggest very heartily to you folks that you finish this fourth diamond with the funds that you’ve got — and you’ve done an excellent job, because I’ve seen the projections from back in 2015 — but I think you should proceed, finish this project and then come back with a separate proposal.”
Popadynetz replied that had always been the intention of the group.
“That’s exactly what we had planned. So we’re on the same page with that. But if we come in under budget, rather than taking those funds and moving it to a different project, we’d like to — as a sign of good faith — hold on to that funding, whatever is left, and use it on phase two.”
Referencing Popadynetz’s past history as a town councillor, Strojwas pointed out that council needs to review the funds before any further action is taken.
“I fully understand what you’re doing, and you’re doing a great thing here. But you’ve sat on this side of the table and you know the funds have to come back to council, and council will have to re-evaluate those funds as to where they’re going. But I would support a rollover of that money in the future.”
Intervening on the side of the group, Coun. Carly Firth viewed the rollover request as reasonable considering the cost savings involved with the project from the town’s perspective.
“I think because we’ve already budgeted that $250,000, it only makes sense to keep that money in — you’ve been responsible enough to be able to do it for significantly less than what was budgeted before.”
Coun. Garth Bekkering agreed with Strojwas on the issue.
“Regarding phase two, or the balance of the funds that might be left over, I agree… that money can’t just be thrown around the way you wish, it has to come back to council and we have to proceed from there. Because it is different infrastructure.”
Coun. Mark Garner was also hesitant to make any commitments about rolling over unused funds until council has a chance to review those figures.
“We’re talking two different breeds of cat here. One is with infrastructure, when you start dealing with pipelines and sewage and that kind of thing, I don’t think we have the expertise, or your group has the expertise to do that. I am definitely in favour of giving a full green light to finish off what you wanted to finish, but I think we have to review that before we proceed to the next step. They’re all baby steps, we just have to get to step one before we get to step two, and step three.”
Betraying a degree of frustration with this line of discussion, Peters again outlined that the organization intends to complete more than just the fourth diamond at the park.
“I feel like as a society, trying to help get this diamond built at decreased cost to the town, is that we’re doing all this extra work so that we were hoping to complete the whole park, not just the diamond. For us to continue on as volunteers to save the town money to get this done, it kind of loses the purpose of what our organization is doing this for.”
Coun. Louie Tams attempted to explain the situation from the perspective of council and the taxpayers they represent.
“I hear what you’re saying, and council is not saying no. Council is saying is what we have in front of us is the cost factors for stage one to build a fourth diamond quad, and your estimates are there. But the estimates for the rest of it aren’t there. I can speak only for myself, it’s not that we’re opposed, but there’s proper steps that we have to take. It’s not even our money, it’s the taxpayer’s money, and we’re entrusted to spend that money properly. We don’t have the ability as a town council — as much as we might like to say here’s a blank cheque, go get it done because we know you do a great job — but we’re entrusted with that money on behalf of the citizens of the town, so for us to just say here’s phase one, and we’re going to guarantee you phase two, I think we need to have phase two in front of us.”
Administration’s recommended motion, to accept the information provided by the Baseball-Softball Enhancement Society and request administration provide supplementary information and deliberation in closed session at council’s May 13 meeting, was declined by council, while the actual resolution passed on May 9 releasing funds for the project would be rescinded following in camera discussion on May 13.
Administration would also highlight the “increase in service level with the addition of a fourth diamond” as well as the development of the diamond requiring “additional staff resources for the coordination of the project.”

Is There Weather In The Ocean And How Is It Connected to Earths Weather?
Jennifer Gaeng
YesterdayWe always tend to connect the term weather with changes that take place in the skies above: cloud, rain, sunshine - all constitute a weather type. Yet the enormous mantle of the ocean at over 70 percent of the Earth's surface has a weather world all to its own, full of processes similar to those taking place above it (2).
It might be a bit surprising to realize, but the ocean can go through all forms of dynamic conditions -which can be classified as “ocean weather.” So, although the ocean lacks internal weather as we know it, it behaves very similarly to the atmosphere. As a three-dimensional fluid volume, with vertical motions, water currents in place of air currents, and more, the ocean has weathers systems all its own (5).
Temperature: The Driving Force
The most crucial factor of ocean weather is temperature. Similar to atmospheric conditions, the ocean undergoes changes in temperature. Waters are warmer around the equator and colder in areas of the poles. The difference in temperatures provides the driving force that generates currents, otherwise known as rivers, in water. These drive heat and nutrient exchange around the world. The most prominent of these currents, the Gulf Stream, moves warm Caribbean water northward into the North Atlantic Ocean, where it contributes to the moderation of the climate of Europe and North America (1). |

We invested a lot of work to make the analyses from the paper reproducible and we are very curious how the documentation could be improved and if people run into any problems.
This article used an open-source python repository for its analysis. It is well-suited for reproduction as more literature evolves on the intersection of urban planning and climate change. The adapted code is published alongside the article.
This article was meant to be entirely reproducible, with the data and code published alongside the article. It is however not embedded within a container (e.g. Docker). Will it past the reproducibility test tomorrow? next year? I'm curious.
This paper presents a fine example of high-throughput computational materials screening studies, mainly focusing on the carbon nanoclusters of different sizes. In the paper, a set of diverse empirical and machine-learned interatomic potentials, which are commonly used to simulate carbonaceous materials, is benchmarked against the higher-level density functional theory (DFT) data, using a range of diverse structural features as the comparison criteria. Trying to reproduce the data presented here (even if you only consider a subset of the interaction potentials) will help you devise an understanding as to how you could approach a high-throughput structure prediction problem. Even though we concentrate here on isolated/finite nanoclusters, AIRSS (and other similar approaches like USPEX, CALYPSO, GMIN, etc.,) can also be used to predict crystal structures of different class of materials with applications in energy storage, catalysis, hydrogen storage, and so on.
The negative surface enthalpies in figure 5 are surprising. At least one group has attempted to reproduce these using a different code and obtained positive enthalpies. This was attributed to the inability of that code to independently relax the three simulation cell vectors resulting in an unphysical water density. This demonstrates how sensitive these results can be to the particular implementation of simulation algorithms in different codes. Similarly the force field used is now very popular. Its functional form and full set of parameters can be found in the literature. However differences in how different simulation codes implement truncation, electrostatics etc can lead to significant difference in results such as these. It would be a valuable exercise to establish if exactly the same force field as that used here can be reproduced from only its specification in the literature. The interfacial energies of interest should be reproducible with simulations on modest numbers of processors (a few dozen) with run times for each being 1-2 days. Each surface is an independent calculation and so these can be run concurrently during the ReproHack.
In theory, reproducing this paper should only require a clone of a public Git repository, and the execution of a Makefile (detailed in the README of the paper repository at https://github.com/psychoinformatics-de/paper-remodnav). We've set up our paper to be dynamically generated, retrieving and installing the relevant data and software automatically, and we've even created a tutorial about it, so that others can reuse the same setup for their work. Nevertheless, we've for example never tried it out across different operating systems - who knows whether it works on Windows? We'd love to share the tips and tricks we found to work, and even more love feedback on how to improve this further. |

The regime’s main stream media purposefully ignores the latest renewable energy news and events while bombarding us non-stop with gay issues, Christian bashing, manufactured “white privilege” stretching to the nude color of bras and Band-Aids, and “black lives matter” idiotic disruptions of restaurant patrons around the country, patrons that have nothing to do with the black on black crime in areas such as Chicago.
Mark Duchamp, Chairman of World Council for Nature, reported on the dangerous effects wind turbines in Australia have on animal farms located in the vicinity of wind farms. “Life near turbines is hell, according to a panel of south-west property owners who have battled against wind farms for the best part of a decade.” http://wcfn.org/2015/04/02/wind-farms-deformities/
According to The Standard in Australia, farmers complained to a Portland panel that there is a need to shut down wind turbines at night across Australia, referring to their personal health and health impacts on their livestock. “The number of deformed lambs increased over the period of the wind farm operating near our property. The lambing rate in our merino stock decreased to a rate of 37 percent from 85 percent prior to the wind farms being established.” http://standards.net.au/story/2983411/turbine-neighbours-tell-of-their-hell/
I have written before about disruptions in ovulation, miscarriages, birth defects in mink farms and sleep issues with workers and ranchers who tended these mink farms in Denmark. http://ileanajohnson.com/2014/06/wind-turbines-and-negative-effects-on-animals/
The much praised and promoted smart meters that were supposed to form a “self-healing” and “resilient” smart grid turned out to be a nightmare for many, particularly for 5,800 residents of Stockton, California whose smart meters exploded simultaneously when a truck ran into a utility pole, causing a power surge. http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2015/03/30/stockton-smart-meters-explode-after-truck-causes-power-surge/
Josh Del Sol reported that the “catastrophic failure of these PG&E ‘smart’ meters – which are not approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) – not only damaged meter bases and other homeowner property, but left those 5,800 customers without power.” http://takebackyourpower.net/news/2015/04/01/hundreds-of-smart-meters-simultaneouly-explode
According to Take Back Your Power, following fires in Portland, Oregon, Lakeland, Florida, Arizona, and Ontario, the province of Saskatchewan ordered in July 2014 the removal of all 105,000 smart meters.
Josh Del Sol wrote that, following another power surge in Palo Alto, California which ignited 80 smart meters, The Utility Reform Network (TURN) stated through its representative: “In the collective memory of TURN, we have not seen similar incidents with analog meters.”
I dedicated four chapters to smart meters in my bestselling book, U.N. Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy. The smart meter program is a massive data collection without the customer’s authorization or a judge’s warrant. Smart meters are expensive, have a short life-span when exposed to sunlight and heat, but the government gives generous subsidies for their installation. http://www.amazon.com/U-N-Agenda-21-Environmental-Piracy-ebook/dp/B009WC6JXO/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2_kin?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1427990151&sr=1-1&keywords=UN+Agenda+21%3A+Environmental+Piracy
The smart grid is part of “the internet of things,” a way to control your smart appliances, your energy consumption, shutting down your electricity at will by the utility company, it does not save electricity, on the contrary rates and bills have gone up despite of consumption remaining the same, monitoring your every activity in the home, hacking vulnerability, and health issues associated with involuntary exposure to round the clock pulsed microwave radiation.
On March 27, 2015, the United Kingdom issued its IoD Policy Report written by Dan Lewis and Jamie Kerr on smart meters deployment, “the largest UK government-run IT project in history and the most expensive and complex programme in the world,” with the title, “Not too clever: Will Smart Meters be the next Government IT disaster?” www.takebackyourpower.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Smart-meters-Not-too-clever-1-IoD.pdf
This smart grid plan is sold to the entire electrified planet under the guise of climate change, protecting the environment through green environmentalist action, and the wireless “convenience” and “modernization.” The reality is that collecting data in real time, non-stop, and selling it to third parties is more lucrative financially than the entire utility industry.
Michael Thompson, wrote that a new study, released by the Thomas Jefferson Institute and researched by economists at the Beacon Hill Institute in Boston, revealed that under the new stringent EPA regulations, Virginia will have to reduce CO2 levels 38 percent by 2030 at a cost of $1.7 billion, resulting in a loss of 38,000 jobs and electricity rate increases by 25 percent. “And the impact on our environment – the reduction of CO2 – will be almost negligible.” www.thomasjeffersoninst.org/files/3/EPAStudy_March 2015.pdf
A Max Planck Institute for Meteorology study by Bjorn Stevens found “that aerosol radiative forcing is less negative and more certain than is commonly believed.” http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-14-00656.1
Bjorn Stevens found that “the magnitude of the cooling effect from anthropogenic (man-made) aerosol emission during the late 19th and 20th century was less than currently believed, which eliminates the support for the high-end negative estimates (such as those included in the latest assessment of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).” http://www.cato.org/blog/you-ought-have-look-climate-sensitivity-environmental-worries-are-trending-downward
The implications are that carbon dioxide must be causing less global warming than climate models predict. “Going forward we should expect less warming from future greenhouse gas emissions than climate models are projecting,” according to Cato Institute climate scientists Pat Michaels and Chip Knappenberger, a potential “death blow to the global warming hysteria.”
Tom DeWeese, President of the American Policy Center (APC), one of the main driving forces behind the battle to stop Agenda 21, is reporting that anti-Agenda 21 legislation has been introduced in several state legislatures, including Missouri, Montana, Maine, and potentially Louisiana. Concerned citizens and legislators will meet with Tom DeWeese in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Louisiana, and Arizona.
The main stream media ignores, ridicules, or attacks the thorough research and tireless work of the American Policy Center (APC). Few citizens are even aware that there are direct ties between Agenda 21 and Common Core; Obamacare in our health care; gun control; illegal immigration; the manufactured global warming that is fleecing taxpayers worldwide; and “all the local ‘planning’ that is transforming our neighborhoods into ‘stack and pack’ high rise monsters; no cars, limited energy, no suburban housing, higher costs and shortages are all included in the future of Agenda 21 policy.”
In the progressive propaganda quest to push its gay agenda, the “black lives matter” race-baiting campaign, the cultural wars against Christian values and businesses, the fake “war on women,” the manufactured racial bigotry, and its welfare agenda of “social justice,” amnesty for illegal immigrants intent on changing the face of our “evil” capitalist society, the importance of our lives and freedoms as a society is marginalized and ignored.
Progressives do not realize in their monumental ignorance that they are supporting dark forces that will imprison them and eventually kill them for the very liberties they are falsely claiming that are under attack. |

Saludos por Fin del Mundo, (end of the world )
We departed Canada in early spring (according to the calendar) for Santiago, Chile. We left a harsh, 75 year record breaking winter behind us with the city of Calgary completely covered in a thick white blanket of snow - more typical of a day in mid December.
We arrived in Santiago Chile with sore wings from flying -11.5 hours by air from Toronto.
Chile's geographic shape is unusual — 4,300 km long and on average 175 km wide gives it a hugely varied climate, ranging from the northern Atacama (world's driest desert) with copper mineral wealth, through a Mediterranean climate in the centre, to a snow & alpine climate in the south and a labyrinth of fjords, inlets, canals, twisting peninsulas, islands, glaciers, and lakes. It is the youngest of the South American countries.
Santiago is both the capital and largest city of Chile. About 20 years of uninterrupted economic growth has transformed Santiago into one of Latin America's most modern metropolitan areas, with extensive suburban development, dozens of shopping malls, and impressive high-rise architecture. There is little sign of economic slowdown here as the activity and noise of large high rise construction and cranes tower overhead everywhere. A major example is the Costanera Centre, a mega project in Santiago's Financial District. A 280,000 square-metre mall, with a 300-metre tower, twin office towers of 170 metres each, and a hotel. When completed in 2010 it will be the tallest building in South America.
However, the developer has prudently indicated that scale will be reduced until financial uncertainty has passed. This strong growth, and economic stability, has many large multinational companies relocating to region: Coca Cola, Procter & Gamble, Nestle, Microsoft, HP and Rueters.
Santiago is probably the most " North American like" city that we have seen so far in our travels of South America. It's citizen's are striving towards a materialistic North American lifestyle seeking brand names & style and influenced by mass marketing. The huge divergence in societal class and income level, common in South America, has been homogenized here into a large middle class. There is a marked proliferation of automobiles with single occupants, and a drastic reduction in the number of buses and taxis. Large retail malls & North American outlets including Starbucks have a successful presence here. The costs of living, and prices of most items, are comparable to Canada (except liquor - a bottle of fine Chilean wine @ $ 3.00.
Given the high volumes of commuter automobile traffic they have impressively managed to preserve many tree lined boulevards and pedestrian friendly sidewalks squares, fountains, and parks, and operate public transit very successfully with extensive subway lines, and modern slinky buses.
We stopped for lunch in an outdoor shopping plaza with peaceful water fountains. It consisted of Pisco Sours (national drink of Chile) and a popular dish called crudo. When it arrived it looked like a large fresh hamburger patty destined to be bar-b-qued. Condiments of diced onions, mined parsley, hot peppers, lemon, olive oil, and mustard were added and to our surprise the raw meat was enjoyable. An afternoon stroll through a park where there was ponds, grassy fields, children's playgrounds and an acre of dog friendly area with toys and activities for the dogs similar to a giant " Super Dog " show in Vancouver. This was without question the nicest park designed for dogs we have ever seen! Subsequently we have seen " dog walkers" are a common commercial activity in the large metropolises.
We traveled the Trans-Andean highway (350 kms) part of the an-American Highway between Santiago de Chile and Mendoza, Argentina by CATA International ejecutivo bus. A double decker coach with large leather reclining seats and several sleeping berths. This route is reported to be one of the world's great drives. We can attest that the scenery is spectacular, and the variety of rock formations and vivid coloration is a geologist's dream. The snow capped, rugged mountains are in view much of the time.
A narrow gauge Trans Andean railway line (abandoned in the early 80's) parallels much of the highway. Cliffs rising from dry river bottoms similar to the Walachin area in British Columbia reflect a patchwork quilt of brick and stone support work for the road and railway, undertaken over many years. One of the highlights of the trip is the view of Cerro Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the southern hemisphere reaching 22,841 feet, and the highest mountain outside the Himalayas that separate India, Nepal and Pakistan from China. We saw our first wild Alpaca
The Chilean – Argentine border is crossed by the Cristo Redentor tunnel, at an elevation of 9,800 feet. Completed in the early 80's, the tunnel is nearly two miles long. To reach the tunnel there are a total of 29 switchback curves (there goes San Francisco's Lombard street's claim to fame) with an elevation rise of 8,000 feet. Our entry into Argentina required an hours wait at the combined Chilean-Argentine customs station on the east side of Cristo Redentor Tunnel. Following the wait was a magnificent alpine lake reminding us of Lake Louise in Alberta's Canadian Rockies.
We saw Mendoza, an area world famous for its vineyards and wineries. The total bus trip from Santiago to Buenos Aires was just over 24 hours with considerable time consumed with slow commercial truck traffic, border crossings, and numerous inspection stations.
Buenos Aires is the 12th largest city in the world with a cosmopolitan population of over 13 million. It ranks # 4 for being the noisiest city in the world, and is famous for football, beef, soy, wine, and the tango! Amongst the miles of asphalt are giant gomero, palo borracho, and jacaranda trees.
Avenida de neuva de Julio is reputed to be the widest street in the world (South America's Champs Elyse) boasting 16 traffic lanes in each direction with ample pedestrian and park boulevards, and marked with an oblisk. (note the high-rise buildings flank either edge of this street) Avenida Corrientes and Florida are two pedestrian friendly streets famous for restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
Plaza de Mayo the original main square of Buenos Aires features European architecture Casa Rosada (government equivalent to the White House) Cathedral, City Hall, & National Bank.
Diego Maradona, a porteno widely hailed as one of the greatest football players of all time, coached the Argentine team last night in a World Cup qualifying game with Venezuela to a 4 – 0 win. Football is in the lifeblood of these South American nations.
We stayed at Yira Yira , a quaint guesthouse centrally located and owned by Paz a lovely " porteno" lady (a native of Buenos Aires). Our second floor room had a large balcony, which was over a busy metropolitan street that never sleeps - conversation, music, buses, cars, sirens, and large city bustle droned us to sleep in the warm evenings. Buenos Aires means " good air " and each evening there is a cleansing ocean breeze that removes the smog and pollution to start each day anew.
The world famous cementerio de la Recoleta designed in 1822 is the final resting place for hundreds of famous Argentine's in a maze of granite, marble, and bronze mausoleums. One of those bodies is world famous, Evita Peron, Argentina's first lady led a controversial life loved and hated. From illegitimacy and poor origins she rose to become a famous actor, government minister, and incredible aid supporting families in need. In 1952, being in her early thirties, she died of cancer. Her life was so controversial that it took over 20 years for Argentina as a country to even accept the burial of her body – she toured as much after death as she did during her life.
Plaza San Martin was hosting the world tour of the United Buddy Bears – all 140 countries represented in the United Nations have a bear present except Canada! For more information visit www.buddy-bear.com. Apparently, our bear was broken two years ago and our government has chosen not to replace. Dismayed, and ashamed, with this international travesty we have written the Canadian Government to see if this situation cannot be rectified. Tango music was born in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, notably in the brothels of the poorer suburbs. Its sensual dance moves were not seen as respectable until adopted by the Parisian high society in the 1920s. Tango dancing consists of a variety of styles developed in different regions and eras in response to many cultural elements, venue crowding and clothing fashion.
On to Montevideo, Uruguay (population - 3.5 million.) reported to be South America's most attractive capital city with a high standard of living and strong European influences is noted for leather and beef. It is built an a peninsula extending into the Atlantic Ocean.
On a bleak and a dreary day we visited Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands. The people and their culture, homes, and monuments clearly exhibit British heritage. The Islands hold a strategic naval location in the Atlantic Ocean with a very controversial past. It once was an important deep-water port - a major repair stop for ships traveling the Straights of Magellan before the opening of the Panama Canal. The businesses there were so notorious for price-gouging that damaged ships were sometimes abandoned at Port Stanley. Then a coaling station for the Royal British Navy with ships being based here in both world wars. In 1982 Argentina occupied the islands for about 10 weeks during the Falklands War. Now primarily a growing base for whaling, fishing and tourism in the South Atlantic and Antarctic Oceans. The beaches and land around it were heavily mined and caution needs to be exercised, as many beaches remain active with dangerous minefields. The many penguins that inhabit the coastline are not of sufficient weight to trigger the mines.
As we traveled south air temperatures have now dropped into the mid forties with plenty of snow on the surrounding mountains. Autumn and winter are approaching here in the southern hemisphere. Cape Horn is the southern most part of land associated with South America, at the southern end of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. It marks the north edge of the Drake Passage, the strait between South America & the Antarctica and the confluence of the Atlantic, Antarctic and Pacific Oceans. Several factors combine to make sailing around Cape Horn one of the most hazardous routes in the world (they say) prevailing winds in latitudes below 40 degrees south blow from west to east around the world almost uninterrupted by land and funneled south by the Andes: icebergs and the narrow Drake Passage; and the area west of the Horn is notorious for rogue waves which can attain heights of up to 100 ft! The Chilean Navy maintains a station on Horn Island, consisting of a residence, utility building, chapel and lighthouse. A short distance from the main station is an albatross sculpture memorial. Antartica a large desolate land mass covered in ice continues to entice travelors exploraton and discovery.
Our southern cruise around the harsh treeless terrain of Cape Horn in South America with visits to the penguin rookeries and Patagonian ports of Puerto Madryn - small non-descript Welsh village growing quickly and located in large wildlife sanctuary; Ushuaia – world's southern most city is a pretty port set against a backdrop of snow where remoteness promoted civilization centered around a prison for serious criminals.
Puerto Arenas has a population of 130,000 of mixed nationalities, blended with history and public squares filled with Latin music. Many of the settlements here retain heritage roots from Europe as groups of settlers were enticed to settle the isolated areas by being given large tracks of free land. Chacabuco is a small isolated rural fishing village where the delicate sweet yet acrid smell of the smoke of an unknown wood used to heat their homes filled the crisp air. The cruise ship visitors easily outnumbered the permanent inhabitants of many of these smaller ports.
Beagle Channel, named after the ship which carried Charles Darwin through this region many years ago, is a narrow channel flanked by receding glaciers due to global warming.
Puerto Montt a fast growing city of German heritage, whose economy is now based upon agriculture, forestry, fishing, and salmon aquaculture in the surrounding islands and fjords. And several kilometres west is the scenic fishing port of Angelmo lined with sidewalk cafes featuring freshly caught seafood, and local vegetable and craft markets. These communities settings are backdropped by snowcapped Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes.
For most of us, born without the immense talents of a Da Vinci, Pablo Neruda, Millard Fuller or Beethoven, the true measure of our lives is not what we achieve – and certainly not what we accumulate – but rather who we are, the number of people we touch, and what we are remembered for, or what is grieved in our absence. Millard Fuller, the founder of Habitat for Humanity, recently passed away with a legacy of having provided more than 300,000 families with housing. Treasure each day as a new adventure in your precious life, avoiding mindlessly moving with the hustling crowd. |

Homes are under the weather in the unwelcome winter
With the weather being labelled as the number one homewrecker, homeowners should take extra precautions during the winter season.
Everything from high winds and what seem like 40 days and 40 nights of strong rains on the West Coast, to wild pipe-popping swings in temperatures across snow-bound Canada, can lead to calamity at home.
Weather-related damage is responsible for most home insurance claims. The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) says the frequency, severity and cost of weather in Canada are increasing. Annual payouts from flooding, hail and windstorms increased from $100 million about 10 years ago to $1 billion between 2009 and 2012, according to IBC.
Don’t take the weather and your home insurance coverage for granted. Talk to your insurance broker to ensure that you have appropriate coverage. For example, sudden and accidental bursting of plumbing pipes and appliances is covered by all residential policies however, damage caused by frozen pipes may not be.
Winter storms can strike without warning and bring with them low temperatures, high winds, significant snowfall and, on occasion, freezing rain. Being prepared is your best defense.
One recommendation that applies whether you live in Victoria, B.C. or Swift Current, Saskatchewan: Remove weak branches and trees that could fall on your house or on power lines from wind and rainstorms or heavy snowfall.
Burst pipes from big bounces in temperature changes are a common culprit for claims. Pipes in attics, crawl spaces and outside walls are particularly vulnerable to freezing in extremely cold weather because the entry holes for television aerial leads, cable, and telephone lines can allow cold air to reach them.
Here are some additional tips:
- Insulate exposed pipes.
- Seal cracks and holes in outside walls and foundations near water pipes with caulking.
- Keep cabinet doors open during cold spells to allow warm air to circulate around pipes (particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms).
Keep a slow trickle of water flowing through faucets connected to pipes that run through an unheated or unprotected space. Or, if you plan to go away on vacation, make sure windows are not left open, drain the water system, and arrange for a friend or family member to check on your home regularly. Many homeowner policies have strict guidelines around how frequently your home has to be checked while you are away. If you’re unsure, confirm with your insurance broker. |

AccuWeather has details on Tropical Storm Don which is likely to move into Texas Friday evening. Don is likely to cause heavy rain, which is desperately needed, in south Texas. Wind speeds will probably not be high enough to cause major damage. Speaking of the heat and drought, have you noticed that when NYC and D.C. were above 100° last week it led the national news? Now, while much of the central and southern U.S. continue to broil, it is off the front pages. But, the effects of the drought and heat in the central U.S. will likely be more significant than the heat in the East. Wichita Eagle photo of Harper Co., Kansas cornfield. Photo by Fernando Salazar I have driven, extensively, in Kansas, southeast Nebraska, and along the I-35 corridor in Oklahoma south to Dallas. I've never seen the crops in worse shape to the south of I-70. It is likely the drought will bring higher food prices.
