Fossil fuel divestment campaign's victory in Australia will be a moral one | Alexander White
|
22.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Global climate divestment campaigns led by 350.org and Bill McKibben will have a larger moral impact than financial one
Journalist and climate activist Bill McKibben is in Australia in June on his epic Do The Math tour , which aims to highlight the danger of fossil fuel company oil and coal reserves and encourage divestment.
The tour was kick started by McKibben's Rolling Stone article, Global Warming's Terrifying New Math , which argued that in order to stay below the 2C warming limit, the global economy has a budget of less than 565 gigatons of carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, fossil fuel companies have reserves of carbon from oil, coal and gas of almost 3000 gigatons — far exceeding the climate's safe limit if it were to all be burned.
This "math" has been known for some years before McKibben's article. The Potsdam Institute wrote about humanity's carbon budget back in 2009 , noting that even if we stayed within budget, we still had a 25% chance of going over 2 degrees warming. ... |

Oklahoma tornado: is climate change to blame? | Harry Enten
|
21.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| The Oklahoma twister was a 'classic look', but the data shows we are experiencing more volatility in the US tornado season
• Follow all the latest in our Oklahoma live blog
Global climate change and politics are linked to each other – for better or worse. No clearer was that the case than when Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island gave an impassioned speech on global warming in the aftermath of Monday's deadly Oklahoma tornado, and the conservative media ripped him . Whitehouse implied that at least part of the blame for the deadly tornado should be laid at the feet of climate change.
Is Whitehouse correct? It's difficult to assign any one storm's outcome to the possible effects of global climate change, and the science of tornadoes in particular makes it pretty much impossible to know whether Whitehouse is right.
Let's start with the basics of what causes a tornado. A piece from my friend (and sometimes co-chatter ) Andrew Freedman two years ago sets out the basics ... |
