Those who deny climate change will be death of us all
You don’t have to be a physicist or geologist to know that the Earth’s climate is changing in ways that are destined to make the landscape less hospitable for humans. Just look around. The dangers are evident.

In the final weeks of May, tornadoes ripped through the center of the United States day after day, destroying homes and schools, hurling trees as if they were mere matchsticks, inflicting countless injuries across communities and leaving some families to mourn their dead. This virulent tornado season is just one example of extreme weather: The past few months have also seen record cold, record heat and record flooding.

If human beings were rational, our top scientists and political leaders would be huddled together, hashing out plans and policies to try to mitigate the damage from greenhouse gases — with the goal of salvaging human life. Faced with an existential threat, a fierce peril that will alter the planet in significant ways, presidents and premiers and prime ministers would overcome their traditional enmities, as they do in the movies, and come together to save humanity.

Alas, that has not happened. Human beings, it turns out, are deeply irrational, tribal, ignorant, greedy and selfish. Sometimes, we are just plain crazy. President Donald Trump has reversed a series of steps taken by his predecessors to ameliorate climate change and has commenced initiatives that will further damage the environment. Moreover, the president has launched a war on the science of climate change and the experts who practice it, trying to create widespread doubts about their expertise. ...

... Meanwhile, extreme weather events have become the norm. Climate scientists are not sure that increased tornado activity is caused by global warming — contrary to the nonsense spewed by the doubters, the experts are very cautious — but some are beginning to suspect a link.Penn State climate researcher Michael Mann said recently there is growing evidence that “a warming atmosphere, with more moisture and turbulent energy, favors increasingly large outbreaks of tornadoes, like the outbreak we’ve witnessed in the last few days,” according to InsideClimateNews.The tornadoes add to the destruction from more floods, more wildfires, hotter days, more droughts and, counterintuitively, more rain (because warmer air holds more moisture). The continental United States has just experienced the wettest year on record, according to the National Weather Service.

So, despite the blithe denials of the climate skeptics, the planet is undergoing fundamental shifts that will prove hostile to humankind. All the know-nothings have accomplished is to ensure that humanity won’t change its habits quickly enough to survive.

Ihnen ist schon bewusst, dass Sie mich angriffen, als ich einforderte, sich auf die Folgen eines Klimawandels einzustellen, auch jenseits der CO2-Emission?

Ich finde nahal und Hans sollten sich den Urheberschutz teilen: Nahal dafür, dass er das im Deutschen doch weniger gebräuchliche "Kretins" in die Diskussion eingebracht hat, Hans dafür, dass er es mit Greta verbunden hat.

Das war da, wo ich aufzeigte, dass ich davon ausgehe, dass ein Grossteil der fossilen Energieträger, die der "Westen" möglicherweise einspart, halt anderswo verfeuert wird, dass man sich deshalb auch mit Baurecht, Raumplanung, Wasserrückhaltung und sonstige Infrastruktur befassen sollte.

Deforestation of Brazilian Amazon surges to record high
Environmentalists fear 2019 will be one of worst years for deforestation in recent memory

The world’s greatest rainforest – which is a vital provider of oxygen and carbon sequestration – lost 739sq km during the 31 days, equivalent to two football pitches every minute, according to data from the government’s satellite monitoring agency.

Donald Trump tells Prince Charles US has 'clean climate'
President blames other countries for environmental crisis, in long talk with prince

But Trump said he pushed back at the suggestion the US should do more.
He said: “I did say, ‘Well, the United States right now has among the cleanest climates there are based on all statistics.’ And it’s even getting better because I agree with that we want the best water, the cleanest water. It’s crystal clean, has to be crystal clean clear.” ...

Asked by Piers Morgan if he accepted the science on climate change, Trump said: “I believe there’s a change in weather, and I think it changes both ways. Don’t forget, it used to be called global warming, that wasn’t working, then it was called climate change. Now it’s actually called extreme weather, because with extreme weather you can’t miss.” ...

Morgan did not ask Trump about his decision to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement. And Trump swerved a question about whether the Prince of Wales had persuaded him to move his stance on the climate crisis. ...

The Trump administration escalates its war on reality
The reality about climate change isn't convenient, or comfortable. So the administration is pretending it isn't there.

The Trump administration is intensifying its effort to discredit climate science by recruiting a select group to try to cast doubt on the facts it doesn’t like — all under the guise of an official review.

President Donald Trump, who dismissed climate change as a “hoax” on the campaign trail, has filled his administration with people who would go to great lengths to stifle, obscure, and mock any evidence to the contrary. Even though the actual science regarding the effects of climate change has only grown more robust and stark during Trump’s time in office, the administration seems to be digging deeper into its proverbial hole in the sand — burying its head to shield itself from the reality of the world.

Trump’s Orwellian plan to ruin our children’s health and erase their future
Trump appointee directs USGS to stop looking at any climate change impacts after the year 2040.

President Donald Trump’s administration is systematically launching one of the most insidious efforts in American history aimed at not merely ruining our children’s health, but at literally erasing their future entirely.

Over the past week, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made several moves to discount or undermine the threat its policy decisions will incur on the country’s youngest generations.

This includes the announcement that the agency will start taking the position that air pollution does not harm children the way science says it does. At the same time, it is cutting 13 research centers aimed at reducing environmental threats to our children.

Meanwhile, on Monday, the New York Times reported that the White House appointee running the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) — James Reilly, a former petroleum geologist — is mandating that the agency’s scientific assessments of climate change will only examine climate impacts that may occur between now and 2040. The agency’s standard practice is to look as far ahead as the year 2100.

Arkansas governor wonders why his state is flooding as he celebrates weakened environmental laws
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) accidentally demonstrated why short-term thinking may not even be great in the short term.

Arkansas, like much of the country, is currently experiencing massive damaging floods. Its governor, Republican Asa Hutchinson, joined Fox News on Tuesday to lament the huge damage the deluge has caused — moments after praising the Trump administration’s environmental deregulation.

Hutchinson — who has a long record of opposing almost all climate and environmental protections — was first asked whether President Donald Trump deserves credit for his state’s improving economy. He responded that it was Trump’s environmental deregulation that has helped fuel Arkansas’ growth.
“There has been a totally different approach to the economy under President Trump: the regulations have been reduced,” Hutchinson explained approvingly. “He’s given more authority back to the states, in terms of environmental regulations. We can protect our environment. It doesn’t have to all come from Washington.”

Hutchinson ran for office in 2014 vowing to fight against the Obama administration’s clean power plant requirements, which aimed to cut carbon dioxide emissions 30% by 2030.

Moments later, Hutchinson accidentally pointed out the short-term and long-term ramifications of the administration’s let-the-polluters-pollute approach. His state, he noted, is suffering from “very serious” flooding crisis.
“We’re having the record floodwaters coming down the Arkansas river, much from rain in happening in Oklahoma. They expect more,” Hutchinson observed. He then explained that it was harming Arkansas already.

Last year’s National Climate Assessment released by Trump’s own government warned that climate change will cause more flooding in certain areas, including the southeast region of the United States where Arkansas is located. Increased rainfall events are already causing increased inland flooding the assessment stated.
“Extreme rainfall events have increased in frequency and intensity in the Southeast, and there is high confidence they will continue to increase in the future,” it read.

Nahe Stadtmitte an der Pegnitz sind die Flutpegel der letzten Jahrhunderte in Stein geritzt. Zu jener Zeit möchte ich nicht gerade ohne Schwimmflügel in Nürnberg gelebt haben.
Offenbar ist seit damals durch die Erderwärmung soviel an Wasser verdampft, dass es seither keine der ganz großen Überschwemmungen mehr gab.
Das sollte auch Hoffnung für Arkansas machen...

Warum es früher weit schlimmere Überschwemmungen gab, weiß ich auch nicht. Dass man sich aber bessere Beispiele für die Klimaerwärmung suchen sollte, als Überschwemmungen in Arkansas, da bin ich mir recht sicher.
