Trump pulls out of UN climate agreement, 66 bodies deemed 'contrary' to US interests: SBS NEWS

United
States President Donald Trump is withdrawing the US from a foundational
climate treaty and the world's leading global warming assessment body,
as part of a sweeping exit from the United Nations system, the White
House announced on Wednesday.
A total
of 66 international organisations — comprised of "35 non-United Nations
(UN) organizations and 31 UN entities" — were named in a White House
memorandum as being "contrary to US national interests, security,
economic prosperity, or sovereignty".
Most
notable among them is the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC), the parent treaty underpinning all major
international climate agreements.
Trump,
who has thrown the full weight of his domestic policy behind fossil
fuels, has openly scorned the scientific consensus that human activity
is warming the planet, deriding climate science as a "hoax" at the UN's
high-level summit last September.
The
UNFCCC was adopted at the Rio Earth Summit in June 1992 and approved
later that year by the US Senate during George HW Bush's presidency.
The
US Constitution allows presidents to enter treaties "provided
two-thirds of Senators present concur", but it is silent on the process
for withdrawing from them — a legal ambiguity that could invite
challenges.
Trump has already withdrawn from the landmark Paris climate accord since returning to office, just as he did during his first term, a move that former Democratic president Joe Biden later reversed.
Exiting the underlying treaty could introduce additional legal uncertainty around any future US effort to rejoin.
Speaking before the General Assembly in September,
Trump delivered a scathing broadside against the world body founded in
1945 to promote global peace and cooperation in the wake of the Second
World War.
"What
is the purpose of the United Nations?" asked Trump in a wide-ranging
speech, whose litany of complaints extended even to a broken escalator
and teleprompter at the UN's New York headquarters.
The United States skipped the annual UN international climate summit last year for the first time in three decades.
UNFCCC exit 'a whole order of magnitude different'"President Trump's withdrawal of the United States from the bedrock global treaty to tackle climate change is a new low and yet another sign that this authoritarian, anti-science administration is determined to sacrifice people's wellbeing and destabilise global cooperation," Rachel Cleetus of the Union of Concerned Scientists told AFP.
Jean Su, a senior attorney for the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity, told AFP: "Pulling out of the UNFCCC is a whole order of magnitude different from pulling out of the Paris Agreement."
"It's
our contention that it's illegal for the President to unilaterally pull
out of a treaty that required two-thirds of the Senate vote," she
continued. "We are looking at legal options to pursue that line of
argument."
"The United States would be
the first country to walk away from the UNFCCC," said Manish Bapna,
president and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council. SBS NEWS
AI ‘Slop’ Websites Are Publishing Climate Science Denial (excerpt from DeSmog article)
AI ‘Slop’ Websites Are Publishing Climate Science Denial
MSN hosted AI-generated content that cited non-existent climate experts and institutions.
At the start of June, MSN, the world’s fourth-largest news aggregator, posted an article from a new climate-focused publication, Climate Cosmos, entitled: “Why Top Experts Are Rethinking Climate Alarmism”.
The article – by “Kathleen Westbrook M.Sc Climate Science” – cited a finding from the “Global Climate Research Institute” that “65 percent of surveyed climate professionals advocate for pragmatic, solution-focused messaging over fear-driven warnings.”
But there were a couple of major problems: the Global Climate Research Institute doesn’t exist, and nor does Kathleen Westbrook, whose profile on Climate Cosmos has now been renamed to ‘Henrieke Otte’.
The article accused those who advocate for climate action of overstating the harms caused by burning fossil fuels. It also promoted the work of Bjorn Lomborg, who has repeatedly called on governments to halt spending on climate action.
This piece was seemingly a breach of MSN’s “prohibited content” rules for posting false information, which MSN partners must abide by to access the aggregator’s huge reach of around 200 million monthly visitors. It was also posted on another U.S. news aggregator, Newsbreak.
Climate Cosmos only has a small pool of contributors, according to its website, yet pumps out multiple stories a day. To do this, it appears to be relying on the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
The first line of another piece, “What the Climate Movement Isn’t Telling You”, appeared to include the response to a prompt – an instruction given to an AI platform.
It read: “I’ll help you write an article about ‘What the Climate Movement Isn’t Telling You’ with current facts and data. Let me search for the latest information first.”
“As technology advances, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into our operations offers exciting opportunities to enhance the journalism at Climate Cosmos,” reads the AI disclaimer on site’s “about us” page. It also states: “we clearly disclose when AI-generated content is used”. However, Isacson’s piece included no such disclosure.
The article falsely claimed that humanity is on course to stay within the temperature goals set by the 2015 Paris Agreement, using this as a launchpad to attack the climate movement for allegedly failing to “reflect these new realities”.
Recent predictions suggest that the global average surface temperature is likely to increase to by anywhere between 1.9C and 2.9C by the end of the century, well above 1.5C limit set by the Paris Agreement.
This appears to confirm the concerns of technology experts who have warned that AI “has the potential to turbocharge climate disinformation”.
Climate Cosmos is “clearly the lowest possible level spam – they’re just trying to put out content out for some easy clicks, hence the clickbait-y titles,” said Philip Newell, communications co-chair of the Climate Action Against Disinformation (CAAD) coalition. “AI has brought the cost of disinformation down to nothing. It has automated bullshit.”
“It appears to be mostly AI slop, rather than a concerted disinformation operation,” he said – adding that AI has “no concern for accuracy”.
Climate Cosmos posted a host of articles on MSN every day and has more than 45,000 subscribers on the aggregator. However, in July, all of its MSN content disappeared, as did all the content produced by other publications belonging to its parent company.
A spokesperson for Microsoft, which owns MSN, told DeSmog: “when we
become aware of instances that violate our policies, we take action to
remove them as soon as possible.”
Newsbreak did not respond to DeSmog’s request for comment.
Even despite – or perhaps because – of this historical lack of editorial rigour, Climate Cosmos has been used by multiple anti-climate campaign groups and publications.
The website’s content has been cited by the Heartland Institute, Wattsupwiththat, the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE), and the American Spectator. The climate denial project CFACT also reprinted an article from Climate Cosmos on its own site.
Climate Cosmos “appears to be climate denier propaganda posing as a science blog,” said Michael E. Mann, a leading climate scientist and Presidential Distinguished Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania." Excerpt from DeSmog

Amid Brutal Heat Wave, Officials Stress Health Risks of Hot Nights
Excerpt : "Much of the United States is baking amid an unusually severe June heat wave, with more than 150 million people under some sort of heat advisory. The unrelenting heat wave started in the Mountain West over the weekend and has since descended upon the Midwestern and Eastern U.S., where high humidity is making temperatures topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit feel even hotter.
Even at night, people can’t escape the unforgiving heat, which poses a particularly high health risk.
The level and duration of the heat is rare for this time of year “with little to no overnight relief, and affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration,” the National Weather Service said in an advisory Monday morning.
During a heat wave, it is crucial for people to cool down at night to reduce their core body temperature and reduce the physiological burden put on them during long, sizzling days. But a growing body of research shows that hot nights are becoming more common with climate change—and not just during a heat wave. " By Kiley Price, From Inside Climate News

BBC News: Global warming set to break key 1.5C limit for first time
"Our overheating world is likely to break a key temperature limit for the first time over the next few years, scientists predict.
Researchers say there's now a 66% chance we will pass the 1.5C global warming threshold between now and 2027.
The chances are rising due to emissions from human activities and a likely El Niño weather pattern later this year.
If the world passes the limit, scientists stress the breach, while worrying, will likely be temporary.
Hitting the threshold would mean the world is 1.5C warmer than it was during the second half of the 19th Century, before fossil fuel emissions from industrialisation really began to ramp up.
And breaking the limit even for just one year is a worrying sign that warming is accelerating and not slowing down.
The 1.5C figure has become a symbol of global climate change negotiations. Countries agreed to "pursue efforts" to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C under the 2015 Paris agreement.
Going over 1.5C every year for a decade or two would see far greater impacts of warming, such as longer heatwaves, more intense storms and wildfires.
But passing the level in one of the next few years would not mean that the Paris limit had been broken. Scientists say there is still time to restrict global warming by cutting emissions sharply.
Since 2020 the World Meteorological Organisation has been giving an estimate of the chances of the world breaking the 1.5C threshold in any one year.
Back then they predicted there was less than a 20% chance of breaking 1.5C in the five years ahead.
By last year this had increased to 50%, and now it's jumped to 66%, which the scientists say means it's "more likely than not.""

Opinion: No gas-led recovery thanks, we need clean energy : Excerpt from BCS
A recovery should, if the science is respected as it is with COVID, transition Australia to 100 per cent clean energy, create thousands of clean jobs, boost the economy, and bring Australia's emissions down. A recovery that would make Australia a renewable energy superpower.
Despite the scientific, economic and health evidence that we must decarbonise rapidly, the government is planning a vast increase in fossil fuels. They have no plan to transition away from coal, and no plan to close down coal-fired power stations, although they will anyway because they are getting old.
There are a staggering 22 new gas projects, starting with three vast areas - the Beetaloo Basin in the Territory, and the North Bowen and Galilee Basins in Queensland. In NSW, there are plans for enormous volumes of gas to be extracted just off the coastline between Newcastle and Sydney."

Photo & Video: Climate Justice Activists Conclude 24-Hour Occupation at Dnc, Demand President-Elect Biden Be Brave (excerpt): Common Dreams
The occupation was led by youth, movement leaders, frontline activists, and artists collectively representing a range of identities and communities confronting the interlocking crises in front of us. For 24 hours, the group marched, created art, and called on Biden to live up to his mandate to invest in Black, Indigenous, Brown, and working-class communities.
Photos and videos from the event, including speeches from frontline leaders and progressive allies in Congress, are available at: https://media.greenpeace.org/collection/27MDHUS546A
As Jennifer K. Falcon of the Indigenous Environmental Network put it:
“We are beyond the tipping point with climate chaos. We must act
quickly to mitigate the climate chaos we are experiencing for the sky,
land and water. The people demand President-elect Biden move to a just
transition centered in Indigenous knowledge so that Mother Earth can
heal. We can't afford to continue to fight climate change with false
solutions and carbon mechanisms that allow big polluters to pollute.
It's time to divest from fossil fuels and invest in a regenerative
economy that allows us to thrive.” ..."

Politicians Try to Rally Support for Coal Despite Economics and Biden Presidential Win (excerpt): DeSmog

| Sen. Mitt Romney |
"The election results are a stark reminder of just how divided the country remains on many issues. However, in the days since the results were announced November 7, two senators from both parties are finding common ground in a familiar space: opposition to the Green New Deal and support for a dying coal industry.
Both Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) immediately took to CNN and Fox News in the days after the election was called to try and rally support for the fossil fuel industry in the wake of Joe Biden's election as president — a success which brings with it the promise of strong climate action.
But their comments also come on the heels of yet another coal plant closure in the U.S. and as the world's largest coal producer, Peabody Energy, warns of going bankrupt for the second time in five years.
Romney told CNN on November 8 that “I want to make sure that we conservatives keep on fighting to make sure we don't have a Green New Deal, we don't get rid of gas and coal.”

Meanwhile, Manchin went on
Fox News on November 9 to alsocriticize the Green New Deal, saying,
“That’s not who we are as a Democratic Party.”
“We’re going to use fossil in its cleanest fashion,” he added. Manchin's unwavering support for the coal industry is well documented and unsurprising as he ran a coal company prior to being elected to the Senate.
Manchin in his comments also echoed Romney’s call to not get rid of gas and coal, telling Fox News, “You have to have energy independence in this country. You can’t eliminate certain things.”
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) says who he voted for is “in the rearview mirror.”

What is the Climate 21 Project?
The Climate 21 Project taps the expertise of more than 150 experts with high-level government experience, including nine former cabinet appointees, to deliver actionable advice for a rapid-start, whole-of-government climate response coordinated by the White House and accountable to the President.
The memos below contain the Climate 21 Project’s recommendations for 11 White House offices, federal departments, and federal agencies, as well as cross-cutting recommendations on personnel and hiring.
Importantly, the Climate 21 Project is not offering a policy agenda. Rather, the memos below
contain
recommendations that can help the President hit the ground running
and build the capacity of his administration to tackle the climate crisis quickly with the existing tools at hand.
The recommendations are focused in scope on areas where the contributors have the most expertise. An all-of-government mobilization on climate change will require important work by additional federal departments and agencies that were not examined by the Climate 21 Project.

Dubbed the Climate 21 Project, it took a year and a half to develop and was delivered recently to Biden’s transition team. The document outlines how the incoming administration could restructure aspects of the government to move faster on global warming." Washington Post

Climate Change: How Do We Know? (excerpt): NASA

| "This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samples contained in ice cores and more recent direct measurements, provides evidence that atmospheric CO2 has increased since the Industrial Revolution.

"Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.
Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.
The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95% probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia.1
Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.
The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century.2 Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many instruments flown by NASA. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause Earth to warm in response.
Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that Earth’s climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. This ancient, or paleoclimate, evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming. Carbon dioxide from human activity is increasing more than 250 times faster than it did from natural sources after the last Ice Age.3
The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling: ....."

The Arctic is in a death spiral. How much longer will it exist? (excerpt): The Guardian
"The region is unravelling faster than anyone could once have predicted. But there may still be time to act."
"At the end of July, 40% of the 4,000-year-old Milne Ice Shelf, located on the north-western edge of Ellesmere Island, calved into the sea. Canada’s last fully intact ice shelf was no more.
On the other side of the island, the most northerly in Canada, the St Patrick’s Bay ice caps completely disappeared.
Two weeks later, scientists concluded that the Greenland Ice Sheet may have already passed the point of no return. Annual snowfall is no longer enough to replenish the snow and ice loss during summer melting of the territory’s 234 glaciers. Last year, the ice sheet lost a record amount of ice, equivalent to 1 million metric tons every minute.
The Arctic is unravelling. And it’s happening faster than anyone could have imagined just a few decades ago. Northern Siberia and the Canadian Arctic are now warming three times faster than the rest of the world. In the past decade, Arctic temperatures have increased by nearly 1C. If greenhouse gas emissions stay on the same trajectory, we can expect the north to have warmed by 4C year-round by the middle of the century."

How the world’s biggest emitter could be carbon neutral by 2050 (excerpts): Vox
"China’s road to net-zero emissions
The new study contains many significant recommendations; key among them is the timeline for China’s decarbonization.
When Xi Jinping announced the goal of carbon neutrality by 2060, it was broadly interpreted to refer to carbon dioxide, the main gas driving global warming, and not other greenhouse gases, like methane or nitrous oxide. But the researchers suggest otherwise, saying China should reach net-zero for all greenhouse gases by 2060, and net-zero for carbon dioxide by 2050.
In his presentation of the results on Monday, He Jiankun,
a Tsinghua professor and climate expert who co-led the study, said his
understanding is that Xi’s goal of “carbon neutrality” by 2060 was
referring to all greenhouse gases. An expert source told China Dialogue
that this interpretation shouldn’t be understood as the official
government stance until it is further clarified. But if official, it
would mean China would have to cut emissions more rapidly over the
coming decades.
The research also shows what net-zero emissions might
look like for the world’s top emitter. Under their net-zero emissions
scenario, the researchers propose almost entirely replacing fossil fuels
with clean energy in the electricity sector, leaving coal power at less
than 5 percent of power generation — a massive drop from the almost 70 percent coal supplied in 2019." .....
.................
.... "What to watch for in the coming year
Although this new study has strong backing from people with connections to the highest levels of government, its place in China’s official plans will be clearer when China submits its “mid-century strategy,” a document that all signatories of the Paris Agreement are requested to complete by the end of 2020 to chart out long-term decarbonization. (China is expected to release this document sometime in the next few months.)
As for more immediate decision-making, the study authors
also recommend that China upgrade its climate and energy targets under
the Paris Agreement and in its five-year plan. China’s carbon emissions
are still growing — last year saw a 2 percent
increase — so the authors advise that the next five-year plan set a
hard cap on carbon emissions at 10.5 billion tons. As for setting new
Paris Agreement targets this year, one key recommendation is to up the
2030 target from 20 percent non-fossil fuel energy generation to 25
percent to speed China’s renewable energy build-out.
Whether China adopts these upgraded targets in the coming months will be a first real indication of how and when the country plans to get to net zero."

Narrabri gas project: former judge questions independence of NSW planning commission (excerpt): The Guardian

| Adam Bandt Facebook post |
(Pics not from The Guardian)
"A former New South Wales judge has called for “independent” to be dropped from the name of the state’s planning commission after it approved the controversial Narrabri coal seam gas development, arguing the body is effectively controlled by the government.
The commission on Wednesday gave what it described as “phased approval” of the $3.6bn project in the state’s north. The decision, which included 134 conditions, was welcomed by the proponent, oil and gas company Santos, and the federal and state governments, but criticised by local farmers, conservationists and Indigenous traditional owners.
Paul Stein QC, a retired court of appeal judge now speaking as a committee member of the Centre for Public Integrity, said he was “deeply concerned” that the NSW Independent Planning Commission had been diminished by changes introduced by the government in March following complaints by mining and resources interests.

They included allowing the planning minister, Rob Stokes, to impose a tight timeframe in which a decision had to be reached and appointing new members to the commission.
“We believe the IPC shouldn’t have the word independent in the title anymore because they’re essentially under the control and direction of the minister,” Stein told Guardian Australia.

“This was a massive inquiry, highly technical, and it was ordered to be finished in 90 days, and that was only extended to 120 days because [Santos] put in further submissions. It is very hard for a tribunal or commission to withstand such intense political pressure.”.... "

Meet the Money Behind The Climate Denial Movement (excerpt): Smithsonian Mag
Nearly a billion dollars a year is flowing into the organized climate change counter-movement
billionaires,” says the Guardian,
“often working through secretive funding networks. They have displaced
corporations as the prime supporters of 91 think tanks, advocacy groups
and industry associations which have worked to block action on climate
change.”
The overwhelming majority of climate scientists, international governmental bodies, relevant research institutes and scientific societies are in unison in saying that climate change is real, that it's a problem, and that we should probably do something about it now, not later. And yet, for some reason, the idea persists in some peoples' minds that climate change is up for debate, or that climate change is no big deal.

| Click to enlarge |
Actually, it's not “for some reason” that people are confused. There's a very obvious reason. There is a very well-funded, well-orchestrated climate change-denial movement, one funded by powerful people with very deep pockets. In a new and incredibly thorough study, Drexel University sociologist Robert Brulle took a deep dive into the financial structure of the climate deniers, to see who is holding the purse strings.
According to Brulle's research, the 91 think tanks and advocacy organizations and trade associations that make up the American climate denial industry pull down just shy of a billion dollars each year, money used to lobby or sway public opinion on climate change and other issues. (The grand total also includes funds used to support initiatives unrelated to climate change denial, as explained in a quote Brulle gave to The Guardian: “Since the majority of the organizations are multiple focus organizations, not all of this income was devoted to climate change activities.”)
“The anti-climate effort has been largely underwritten by conservative
“This is how wealthy individuals or corporations translate their economic power into political and cultural power,” he said. “They have their profits and they hire people to write books that say climate change is not real. They hire people to go on TV and say climate change is not real. It ends up that people without economic power don't have the same size voice as the people who have economic power, and so it ends up distorting democracy.
