Avoiding Catastrophic Costs of Climate Change Requires
Fast-Action Strategies
Washington D.C., November 23, 2009 – A new report by Dr. Tim Lenton and colleagues published today by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and Allianz, a global financial service provider, puts a dollar value on the damages the world faces from passing fast-approaching tipping points for abrupt climate changes.
The amounts are staggering:
* A hurricane in the New York region: “Potentially the cost could be 1 trillion dollars at present, rising to over 5 trillion dollars by mid-century”;
* Die-back of the Amazon: “Beyond ~2 °C the costs of committed die-back rise very rapidly and more than double to around $US 7,800 billion and $US 9,400 billion NPV [net present value] for 3 °C and 4 °C respectively (with forest area losses of circa 3.9 and 4.3 million km2)”;
* Changes in Asian monsoon patterns: “future costs (in today’s prices) might be expected to double from around $US 21 billion to $US 42 billion per decade in the first half of the century. However, a range of other factors are likely to act to increase these costs and consequences in the same period.”
“Putting a dollar value on the damages we’ll suffer provides strong motivation for fast-action mitigation to reduce the risk of passing these devastating tipping points,” said Durwood Zaelke, President of the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development. “Fast-action mitigation may still save us from the worst of the abrupt climate impacts, but we’ve got to start immediately. This includes action in Copenhagen to phase down HFCs, which can provide a decade of delay in CO2 forcing by avoiding up to 200 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent.”
Action on black carbon (soot) is another priority. This aerosol is responsible for up to 25% of total climate warming, and can provide cooling in days to weeks. Reducing other short-lived climate contributors such as methane and tropospheric, or ground-level, ozone is also important. Storing carbon in soil through biochar production is another key strategy and one of the only safe carbon-negative technologies available.
Zaelke added, “Cutting CO2 is essential to the long-term battle against climate change, but it won’t save us from the immediate threats of passing the tipping points for abrupt climate change – for that, we need the fast-action strategies for the 50% of warming that is not from CO2.”

Semi-permanent Interesting Finds
Found on the Internet today:
After years of following the climate debate it all boils down to one simple test. And this is well reflected in the CRU Climategate emails.
If the medieval warming period (MWP) was warmer than today even though CO2 level were much, much lower than today, then the AGW hypothesis explains nothing.
Turns out that Vikings had dairy farms and were exporting cheese to Europe along well-documented trade routes FROM GREENLAND. Get it, Greenland? Today the very valleys where the Vikings raised DAIRY CATTLE are solid permafrost backed by glaciers. Greenland has no export dairy industry and hasn’t since the Earth’s climate began to cool about 900 years ago and forced the Vikings to abandon their farm settlements.
At the same time elephants seal were forced to abandon their southern breeding sites on the main body of Antarctica as the fossil record shows. So the MWP and subsequent cooling was global. Most importantly, the MWP was warmer than today with our much higher level of atmospheric CO2 concentration.
According to standard scientific method, a hypothesis is only as good as its implications and predictions. The AGW hypothesis states that CO2 is the dominant forcing factor in climate evolution. The more CO2, the warmer the climate regime. Therefore, the climate 1,000 years ago before high modern levels of atmospheric CO2 must be cooler than today for the AGW hypothesis to usefully predict observed data. Yet it was demonstrably warmer in the past.
Logically the AGW hypothesis has been slamdunk falsified, because it can be shown that the past 2,000 years of the Earth’s temperature record in no way correlates to the rise (or fall) in CO2 concentration. Note that this is not to say that a “greenhouse gas effect” doesn’t exist, it obviously does, just that it is in no way among the dominant phenomena forcing climate evolution.
An objective searcher for an empirically-based hypothesis of what really drives climate must now return to direct observation to construct a new hypothesis which makes predictions that anticipate known observations, such as features like the MWP, the LIA and why modern warming stalled mid-20th century and early 21 st century. (In retrospect, it now seems obvious that this task is probably far too great for any one “just-so” hypothesis and will require a syncretic, holistically unified theory that is probably well beyond both the state of our info and observational technologies and our grasp of complex system analysis.)
What is so damning about Climategate is that it shows Mann, Jones, Briffa, et al deeply understood the MWP was utterly devastating to the credibility of the AGW hypothesis and so conspired to create and cherry pick a data/code based “narrative” where the MWP was nothing more than a “minor blip” as Al Gore called it. They also attempted to smooth the latter Little Ice Age, so that modern warming would appear to be coming off a thousand plus years of climate stasis. Once placed in that fantasy context the AGW hypothesis appeared to function as a useful explanation.
One can well be forgiven for being fooled by the CRU conspiracy and the media’s one-sided reporting. I certain was. Yet now that the facts are exposed, to continue to believe the Earth is going to suffer an apocalypse due to carbon induced warming is more than just irrational, it’s the denialism of our post-AGW world.

It will be a very cold winter of discontent for the warm-mongers. The climate show-and-tell in Copenhagen next month will be nothing more than a meaningless carbon-emitting jaunt, unable to decide just whom to blame or how to divvy up the profitable spoils of climate change hysteria.
The collapse of the talks coupled with the decision by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to put off the Kerry-Boxer cap-and-trade bill, the Senate's version of Waxman-Markey, until the spring thaw has led Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the leading Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, to declare victory over Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and the triumph of observable fact over junk science.
"I proudly declare 2009 as the 'Year of the Skeptic,' the year in which scientists who question the so-called global warming consensus are being heard," Inhofe said to Boxer in a Senate speech. "Until this year, any scientist, reporter or politician who dared raise even the slightest suspicion about the science behind global warming was dismissed and repeatedly mocked."
Inhofe added: "Today I have been vindicated."
The Ada (Oklahoma) Evening News quotes Inhofe: "So when Barbara Boxer, John Kerry and all the left get up there and say, 'Yes. We're going to pass a global warming bill,' I will be able to stand up and say, 'No, it's over. Get a life. You lost. I won,'" Inhofe said.
Now we have the German publication Der Spiegel, which is rapidly becoming the house organ for climate hysteria, weighing in again with the sad news that the earth does not have a fever so we really don't have to throw out the baby with the rising bath water.
In an article titled, "Climatologists Baffled By Global Warming Time-Out," author Gerald Traufetter leads off with the observation: "Climatologists are baffled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years." They better figure it out, Der Spiegel warns, because "billions of euros are at stake in the negotiations."
We are told in sad tones that "not much is happening with global warming at the moment" and that "it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year." But how can it be that the earth isn't following all those computer models? Is the earth goddess Gaia herself a climate change "denier"?
The article gloomily notes that a few weeks ago Britain's Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research pointed out that the earth had in fact only warmed 0.07 degree Celsius from 1999 to 2008 and not by the 0.2 degree Celsius predicted by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
An even more inconvenient truth, according to the British experts, is that when their figures are adjusted for two naturally occurring climate phenomena, El Nino and La Nina, the resulting temperature trend is reduced to 0.0 degree Celsius. No, that's not a typo.
As if that weren't enough, it seems hackers broke into the computer network run by the Hadley Climate Research Unit, removing 61 megabytes of e-mails and data.
While we don't condone theft, the hacked data and e-mails have spilled onto the Web and reveal something startling: The scientists at Hadley, one of the world's leading climate change study centers, aren't scientifically objective at all.
Indeed, in e-mails, they boast of twisting scientific data to suit their views and to "hide" the truth. At one point, a scientist actually gloats over the death of global warming skeptic John L. Daly, saying, "In an odd way, this is cheering news."
If true, this is massive scientific fraud.
To add to the warm-mongers' woes, patron saint Al Gore, the man who claimed to have invented the Internet, might also have claimed the discovery of Photoshop. Dr. Roy Spencer, of the University of Alabama at Huntsville, formerly with NASA, has taken a look at the pictures used to illustrate Gore's new book, "Our Choice: A Plan To Solve the Climate Crisis."
Gore Photoshopped NASA imagery of the earth for the fold-out cover photo, adding four hurricanes at once, including one spinning in the wrong direction next to Florida and, in a physical impossibility, one on the equator next to Peru. Somewhere in the process, the island of Cuba was deleted.
It is the warm-mongers who are spinning in the wrong direction. We win. You lose. Get a life.

41 Nations Join Island Effort for Fast
Phase-down of Super Greenhouse Gases Under Ozone Treaty
11 November 2009, Port Ghalib, Egypt. On Sunday, 8 November, two small islands fighting rising seas and growing storm surges driven by climate change were joined by a growing army of nations in their battle to phase down super greenhouse gases. The weapon of choice for the Federated States of Micronesia and Mauritius is the Montreal Protocol ozone treaty. Their target is a group of super greenhouse gases known as hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs.
The support from the coalition came in the form of an official declaration on phasing down HFCs issued by 41 countries at the conclusion of the High-Level segment of the annual meeting of the ozone treaty Sunday night. This is expected to lead to an amendment to the treaty next year.
“If we don’t control HFCs, they could warm the world almost half as much as CO2 emissions by 2050,” said Durwood Zaelke, President of the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development. This assumes that CO2 emissions are stabilized at 450 parts per million in this time frame. “We could win the battle against CO2 and still lose the war against climate change if we let HFCs continue to grow,” he added.
“The declaration sends a clear signal to the world that the super greenhouse gases we are targeting will soon be gone,” said Antonio Oposa Jr., delegate from Micronesia. “We would have preferred even faster action to amend the treaty this year, but many of our fellow parties wanted more time to study climate-friendly alternatives and we respect that. A bit more time on the front end will help us at the back end when we’re implementing the HFC phase out, and keep the treaty’s record of perfect compliance with our commitments.”
Yahyah Patel, head of the Mauritius delegation, formally presented the declaration on behalf of the 41 sponsors. Pathel stressed that:
· Climate change is “occurring faster than previously predicted” and “will threaten present and future generations unless more stringent measures are adopted and implemented urgently”;
· HFCs are “powerful greenhouse gases” that the “Montreal Protocol is well-suited to phase-down…, having already phased-out similar chemicals in the same sectors”;
· All Parties should “urgently consider phasing-down the production and consumption of high-GWP alternatives” including HFCs, and “take appropriate measures … as soon as practicable.”
The Parties directed their Technology and Economics Assessment Panel to study and report on environmentally friendly alternatives to HFCs as quickly as possible next year.
The 27 members of the European Union offered their support to Micronesia and Mauritius in a statement from the floor at the close of the meeting. Japan, Australia, and New Zealand also supported the islands from the floor.
“Fast HFC cuts can prevent a decade of warming and reduce the equivalent of up to 100 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide,” said Zaelke. “The question now is whether the rest of the world will move fast enough. Time is of the essence for the islands.” Zaelke attended the treaty negotiations in Port Ghalib to present evidence on the harm HFCs are causing. He spoke at an official event on the role of the military in the Montreal Protocol organized by the United Nations Environment Programme.
“The Montreal Protocol is the best climate treaty to date, and has already delayed climate change by up to 12 years by reducing climate emissions by a net of 135 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent,” Zaelke explained to the group of generals and other senior military officials.
Micronesia and Mauritius launched their initiative against HFCs in April when they called on the ozone treaty to phase down these greenhouse gases. The United States, Mexico, and Canada followed with a similar proposal.
“Phasing out these super greenhouse gases would have immediate benefits for climate and entirely eliminate one of the six greenhouse gases responsible for global warming,” said Mark W. Roberts of the Environmental Investigation Agenct (EIA).
The Montreal Protocol Parties also took a formal decision to expand programs for destroying chemical stockpiles of ozone-depleting substances that damage the ozone layer and cause climate change. “This decision could lead to climate mitigation significantly bigger than the emissions targeted under the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol climate treaty,” said Sam LaBudde of EIA. Kyoto’s first commitment runs from 2008 to 2012 and is seeking five billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent below 1990 levels.
HFCs are used primarily in refrigeration and air conditioning, and are known as ‘super’ greenhouse gases because the combined effect of their soaring use and high-global warming potential (GWP) threatens to cancel the benefits expected from reduction of other greenhouse gases.
“Despite the fact that it is already regarded as the most effective environmental accord in history, this week’s efforts illuminate the possibility that the Montreal Protocol’s best work lies in its future rather than in the past,” added Roberts.
The Montreal Protocol’s historic success in controlling and eliminating ozone-depleting substances means that it already has the infrastructure and experience necessary to phase down HFCs quickly and effectively.
Other Parties to the Montreal Protocol said they are looking to the climate negotiations in Copenhagen next month for further support for a fast HFC phase-down. The two treaties would address different aspects of HFCs. The Kyoto Protocol addresses downstream emissions of HFCs. The Montreal Protocol would phase down the upstream production and consumption of HFCs.
“The Montreal Protocol has already phased out nearly 100 other gases that harm the ozone layer and warm the climate,” Zaelke added. “The treaty’s compliance record is hard to top. The past phase-outs have cut production and consumption of targeted chemicals by 97%.” Zaelke heads the International Network for Environmental Compliance & Enforcement, a coalition of over 4,000 government officials fighting for stronger compliance.

Military Experts Call for Action on Climate Change to Avoid Security Threats
Washington, D.C., October 30, 2009 – Yesterday, a group of serving and retired military officers from around the globe called on governments to “work for an ambitious and equitable international agreement” at the Copenhagen climate negotiations in December. Participants at the conference on “Climate Change and Security at Copenhagen” emphasized the critical importance of addressing climate change now in order to avoid exacerbating current security threats and creating new ones. .
“To avoid conflicts from climate change-related impacts, we need to employ every tool and strategy available, and the military is a critical ally in this fight,” said Durwood Zaelke, President of the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development and speaker at the conference.
The officers, representing Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the US, are part of an international initiative on Climate Change and the Military led by the Institute for Environmental Security (IES) in The Hague and 10 other think tanks from Asia, Europe and North America.
A key focus of the climate-security effort is the Himalayan-Tibetan Plateau, which was discussed at length in Brussels earlier this month at the officers’ first meeting. This 500,000 km2 of snow and ice supplies the dry season irrigation for more than a billion people. It is predicted to shrink to 100,000 km2 in 20 years, threatening climate chaos and conflict among dependent countries, including three with nuclear weapons.
Quoting from the military climate statement released at the conference, Air Marshal (ret) AK Singh of India, Chairman of the project’s Military Advisory Council, warned that “failure to recognise the conflict and instability implications of climate change, and to invest in a range of preventative and adaptive actions will be very costly in terms of destabilising nations, causing human suffering, retarding development and providing the required military response.” AK Singh also serves as Project Director, Climate Change & Security, Centre for Air Power Studies, New Delhi.
Food and water shortages due to climate change threaten to increase conflicts between nations. Inhospitable living conditions from sea level rise and other impacts will contribute to a growing problem of environmental refugees. With the world nearing the tipping points for abrupt climate changes, little time remains before military organizations will be faced with increased challenges.
“We need meaningful action in Copenhagen to address CO2, but CO2 is only half the climate problem,” added Zaelke. “We also need to take fast and aggressive action to reduce the other, non-CO2 half of warming. Reducing black carbon soot, tropospheric ozone, methane, and HFCs, as well as expanding biosequestration through biochar production, are strategies that can help delay abrupt climate change while we wait for reductions in CO2 to kick in.” Because these non-CO2 climate change agents are short-lived in the atmosphere compared with CO2, which can persist for up to 1,000 years, reducing them will produce significant benefits quickly.
A new paper published by Nobel Laureate Mario Molina in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences promotes these fast-action strategies as essential complements to CO2 reductions. HFCs are one of the major targets. These powerful greenhouse gases, widely using as coolants in air conditioning systems, can be up to 12,000 times more potent than CO2 and their emissions are growing rapidly. Molina and his co-authors recommend using the Montreal Protocol ozone treaty to phase down the HFCs, and report that this could produce mitigation of up to 100 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent or more by 2050 and up to a decade of delay in climate forcing. Every country of the world is Party to the Montreal Protocol and has the opportunity to express its support for an HFC phase-down next week at the treaty’s annual meeting in Egypt.
