Three Surprising Solutions To Climate Change: Forbes

Educating girls and empowering women has multiple positive impacts on climate

'When the analysts at Project Drawdown quantified the impact of 100 solutions to climate change, they were surprised by some of their results, the organization's executive director said in a recent appearance at Carnegie-Mellon University.

"Some solutions were a total surprise," said Jonathan Foley, an atmospheric scientist who took the helm of Project Drawdown late last year, after the list was made. "Some surprised me, and I've been working at this for a long time." .........

'"Women who have more access to education and more opportunity tend to have fewer children, and a little bit later in life," Foley said. It's the only effective way, short of coercion, to reduce human population growth, which lies at the foundation of all of the earth's environmental woes."'

Climate Cuts, Cover-ups and Censorship \\ Climate Council: Video

Since 2013, the Australian Federal Government has covered up poor performance with misleading claims, dubious accounting and censorship - and the Climate Council has held them to account at every turn, busting myths, call out misinformation, and sorting fact from fiction. 

Subscribe here: http://goo.gl/JUPEL3 -- 

After thousands of Australians chipped in to Australia's biggest crowd-funding campaign, the abolished Climate Commission has relaunched as the new, independent Climate Council. We exist to provide independent, authoritative climate change information to the Australian public. Why? Because our response to climate change should be based on the best science available. 

We're a fast growing group of people made up of expert Councillors, staff, volunteers and supporters. 

Together we are doing everything we can to spread independent and accurate information on climate change.

Experts say climate change contributed to record-breaking temperatures across Europe

Last month was the hottest June ever recorded, the EU‘s satellite agency has announced.

Data provided by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts on behalf of the EU, showed that the global average temperature for June 2019 was the highest on record for the month.

The data showed European average ​temperatures were more than 2C above normal and temperatures were 6-10C above normal over most of France, Germany and northern Spain during the final days of the month, according to C3S.

The global average temperature was about 0.1C higher than during the previous warmest June in 2016.

Experts have said climate change made last week’s record-breaking European heatwave at least five times as likely to happen, according to recent analysis.

Article Comments (5) NJ could need 2,700 miles of sea walls to defend against rising waters: NJ Spotlight

"New study says building defenses along Jersey Shore would cost billions and suggests the fossil-fuel industry should pay

New Jersey would have to pay almost $25 billion to build almost 2,700 miles of seawalls to protect its coastal communities from anticipated sea-level rise by 2040, according to the latest study on the state’s vulnerability to rising ocean levels. 

The Center for Climate Integrity, a Washington, DC-based advocacy group, said New Jersey faces the sixth-biggest bill for sea-wall construction of any state, while low-lying Cumberland County would have to pay the most — $5.8 billion for 532 miles of seawalls — among New Jersey’s counties."
