Experts: US exiting climate pact may doom some small islands
|
22.6.2017 |
Salt Lake Tribune |
| Washington ⢠To small island nations where the land juts just above the rising seas, the U.S. pulling out of the Paris global warming pact makes the future seem as fragile and built on hope as a sand castle.
Top scientists say it was already likely that Earthâs temperatures and the worldâs seas will keep rising to a point where some island states may not survive through the next 100 years. That likelihood increases, they say, if the United States doesnât follow through on promised cuts in heat-t... |

Schultz & Summers: This is the one climate solution thatâs best for the environment â and for business

22.6.2017 |
Salt Lake Tribune |
| President Donald Trumpâs decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord has induced a fateful pessimism about what can be expected of the country on this critical issue. Yet our long experience in Washington has taught us that the transition from the inconceivable to the inevitable can sometimes be very rapid.
The pressure on the administration to find an alternative to Paris will only mount, and its foundations have already been laid in the reasons the president cited for ...

Dissidents Ramp Up Direct Action Against Climate Destroyers. Who Will the Courts Defend?
|
22.6.2017 |
Truthout - All Articles |
| The seven climate activists convicted in district courts this month were not allowed to present a "climate necessity" defense for their acts of civil disobedience. But the growing movement of climate activism against the fossil fuel industry and its political enablers is determined to keep the fight going in the courts until "climate necessity" becomes an acceptable defense.
In times of great injustice, independent media is crucial to fighting back against misinformation. Support grassroots journalism: Make a donation to Truthout by clicking here.
This month a group of climate activists were convicted in district courts in Mount Vernon, Washington , and Wawayanda, New York , for committing acts of civil disobedience against fossil fuel infrastructure. Each defendant (one in Washington and six in New York) had attempted to present a " climate necessity defense ," arguing that their nominally illegal actions were justified by the threat of climate catastrophe -- in other words, that the real crime is ... |
