Description: "Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as "global warming"..."

Description: "Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth?s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century, Earth?s mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. These findings are recognized by the national science academies of all major industrialized nations. Climate model projections are summarized in the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). They indicate that during the 21st century the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 2.9 °C (2 to 5.2 °F) for their lowest emissions scenario and 2.4 to 6.4 °C (4.3 to 11.5 °F) for their highest. The ranges of these estimates arise from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations..."

Description: Editor?s Note: "This narrative by Nathaniel Rich is a work of history, addressing the 10-year period from 1979 to 1989: the decisive decade when humankind first came to a broad understanding of the causes and dangers of climate change. Complementing the text is a series of aerial photographs and videos, all shot over the past year by George Steinmetz. With support from the Pulitzer Center, this two-part article is based on 18 months of reporting and well over a hundred interviews. It tracks the efforts of a small group of American scientists, activists and politicians to raise the alarm and stave off catastrophe. It will come as a revelation to many readers — an agonizing revelation — to understand how thoroughly they grasped the problem and how close they came to solving it." Jake Silverstein

Sub-title: Excerpts from entries to our youth essay contest
Description: "In this year’s essay competition The Economist received nearly 2,400 entries from 130 countries and territories. They came from entrants as young as nine and as old as 71—who said they felt compelled to add their voice, even though the rules specified that only those aged 16 to 25 were eligible to win. The essays advocated everything from eco-authoritarianism to anarchy to artificial intelligence. Common themes included treating climate change as a new “world war” and replacing subsidies that contribute to pollution with ones that mitigate it. A “green index” to track the extent of the problem was put forward, as was the idea of a “green GDP” to price the value of the environment in national accounts..."

Description: "Several actions were organized across Southeast Asia from 20 to 22 September 2019 in support of the Global Climate Strike. One of the aims of the global strike was to mobilize young people and put pressure on world leaders who were scheduled to meet at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York. The protest actions in Southeast Asia highlighted various issues such as the impact of large-scale mining, haze pollution, and continuing dependence on fossil fuels. Like in other parts of the world, the climate strikes in Southeast Asia featured the active participation and leadership of young people. Below is an overview of protest activities across Southeast Asia: Myanmar protesters demand the declaration of a climate emergency More than 200 people marched from the new Bogyoke Market to Sule Pagoda, and then gathered outside Mahabandoola Park in Yangon on 21 September. They urged the Myanmar government to declare a climate emergency, impose a moratorium on projects that harm the environment, and promote environmental justice..."

Sub-title: To deliver on its goal of 100 per cent energy access by 2030, Myanmar will need to shake up its energy market. With hydropower facing increasing objection from society, how will the former hermit nation power its people for a more sustainable future?
Description: "Among the 10 countries that make up the Asean, Myanmar has the highest percentage of renewables in its energy mix - hydropower constitutes 65 per cent of generated electricity. But this figure alone masks the country’s absymal rate of electrification, with chronic power shortages a regular occurence and more than 40 per cent of its total population still lacking access to the national grid. Sixty per cent of Myanmar’s rural populace live off gid, relying on polluting, expensive kerosene lamps and firewood to illuminate their homes. Providing clean and sustainable electricity to off-grid areas is a challenge, to say the least. Assaad Razzouk, chief executive of clean energy projects developer Sindicatum Sustainable Resources comments: “Even India, a country that has seen great success in scaling up utility-scale solar, has struggled to scale up distributed and rooftop solar [in rural villages]. Fundamentally what’s required are clear government policies and credit support for the rural population.” This has not stopped the previous government from announcing its goal to provide full access to electricity by 2030. Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) inherited these lofty ambitions when it swept into power later that same year, as well as a growing economy with low foreign direct investment and weak infrastructure..."

Sub-title: News of the death of meteorologist U Tun Lwin spread like wildfire on social media on Monday even though he was just an unassuming man who, during a nearly 45-year career, provided the most accurate and timely weather forecasts in the country.
Description: "Everybody in the country loved him for that. He even has his own page on Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia. “Sayar U Tun Lwin was a professional and good-hearted weather expert. He contributed a lot to the country with his knowledge and spirit of goodwill,” said cartoonist Aw Pi Kyal. “All of his time was spent helping others. His Facebook chatbox was always green, even in the wee hours of the morning,” he added. “While some people may have cursed when his weather forecasts were wrong, he never failed to do his job with the best intentions,” he added. U Tun Lwin had been and out of Grand Hantha Hospital in recent months for treatment of chronic diabetes. His family announced he passed away at the age of 72 late Monday. His funeral will be today at 5pm at Yayway Cemetery in Yangon. “He was an ideal man for the country and environmentalists. He knew his profession from A to Z, and was able to explain a difficult subject in easy-to-understand language, which made him a very valuable person. He did his best for his country,” said environmentalist Daw Dewi Thant Zin..."

Description: "Learning about science can be even more exciting, as it teaches us how things work and how much our lives have benefited. So if the daily grind of the big city is getting you down, and you want a pick-me-up then why not indulge your enquiring mind and learn more about the wonders of science? Myanmar’s Eighth National Science Film Festival is the place to do that, and it is taking place right here in Yangon. It is a celebration of scientific discoveries, and how they add to our understanding of the natural world. The festival has been a success throughout Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, and here will also promote science literacy and awareness of current environmental and technological issues. The theme of the festival this year is “Humboldt & the Web of Life”, in honour of Alexander von Humboldt, a notable Prussian geographer, explorer and naturalist. He revolutionised the conception of nature by dealing it as an interconnected living web – and in doing so, inspired countless scientists, environmentalists, writers and artists alike. The Science Film Festival 2019 aims to highlight the relevance of this view in the 21st century in regard to environmentalism, climate change and sustainability..."

Description: "HUMAN's Musics - A film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand / Composed by Armand Amar "I am deeply taken with traditional music, it moves me, it connects you to emotion. The idea with HUMAN was to create songs that would reflect the same emotion generated by the interviews. I wanted things to open up, to open up one’s heart, to let the sadness be without any restraint. HUMAN has been one of these rare moments in my life as a film composer during which I could express all these different cultures at the same time : either working on minimalist songs or meeting with these singers and musicians coming from all around the world. Which note did I first produce ? I had more like a global vision in mind, an atmosphere that would merge into the film and that would bring people together, this was my starting point. The part I created for the Mongolian sequence might be the best summary of the atmosphere I wanted the film to have. "

Description: "This book is an outgrowth of an undergraduate course I taught for students from Columbia College and Barnard College. My approach was to trace the development of the Earth from its roots in the Big Bang to its future in man?s hands. At each stage I depict the important observational evidence and attempt to show how it has been linked together into hypotheses. I attempt to show that while in some cases this evidence constrains us to a widely accepted single hypothesis, in others the evidence is incomplete and permits a range of competing explanations. It was my hope that in this way I could bring my students to see that science is far from static. Rather, it is a series of ongoing studies where all the evidence, assumptions, and hypotheses are continually being reexamined and where new information is regularly being added. Many readers will surely ask why this book was not published through the the usual channels. Beyond my liking for the unconventional, there is an important financial reason. For each book sold $2.50 will be returned to the Department of Geological Sciences as repayment of typing and drafting costs. After a year of negotiations with various publishers I found this to be the only way I could recover these costs. Thanks to computer layout schemes and laser printers, it is now possible to circumvent the very high overhead associated with conventional publishing. I would like to thank Vicky Costello who patiently typed and retyped the many drafts of this manuscript, and Patty Catanzaro who drafted and redrafted the many figures. I also thank the ten or so scientists who read through the manuscript and made valuable suggestions. Finally I thank the students in Geology 101 lx during the years 1981 to 1985. They were the guinea pigs as well as the inspiration for this project."

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being. For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

Description: "The fossil fuel industry is killing us. They have five times the amount of coal, gas and oil that is safe to burn - and they are planning on burning it all. Left to their own devices, they?ll push us past the brink of cataclysmic disaster - life as we know it will be irrevocably altered "forever. Unless we rise up and fight back. DO THE MATH chronicles "America?s leading environmentalist" Bill McKibben in a David-vs-Goliath battle to fight the fossil fuel industry and change the terrifying math of the climate crisis. Bill McKibben is going after Big Oil, Big Coal, and Big Gas directly - energizing a movement like the ones that overturned the great immoral institutions of the past century - such as Apartheid in South Africa. Putting his body on the line to stop the Keystone XL Pipeline and leading universities and institutions to divest in the corporations destroying our livelihoods, McKibben is uniting the growing global majority that view the climate crisis as the most important moral issue of the day. The film also features a veritable who?s who of the climate movement including Dr. James Hansen (Frmr. Director, NASA?s Goddard Institute for Space Studies), Naomi Klein (Author, The Shock Doctrine), Van Jones (CNN Correspondent & Author, The Green Collar Economy) Lester Brown (President, Earth Policy Institute), Michael Brune (Executive Director, Sierra Club), Bobby Kennedy Jr. (President, Waterkeeper Alliance) Majora Carter (Founder, Sustainable South Bronx), Phil Radford (Executive Director, Greenpeace), James Gustave Speth (Co-Founder of NRDC), among others."

Description: "How can we begin to address the global, insidious problem of climate change — a problem that?s too big for any one country to solve? Economist Nicholas Stern lays out a plan, presented to the UN?s Climate Summit in 2014, showing how the world?s countries can work together on climate. It?s a big vision for cooperation, with a payoff that goes far beyond averting disaster. He asks: How can we use this crisis to spur better lives for all?"

Description: "Climate Change is the most threatening global challenge faced by humanity. Myanmar is one of the most highly vulnerable countries in the world to the adverse impacts of climate change facing threats from extreme weather events, sea level rise, flooding and drought. Without action to adapt to these threats, the prospects for the economic development of our population of over 50 million will be hindered and our environment degraded. With the largest standing forests on mainland South East Asia, Myanmar currently absorbs more greenhouse gases than it emits, thereby already making a significant contribution to global efforts to tackle climate change. However, wearecurrently in the process of rapid industrialisation and increasing urbanisation which will lead to an increase in our emissions of greenhouse gases. We therefore intend to implement a series of policies and actions to maintain the harmony between growth and mitigating climate change. This means planning the development of our economy so it takes place in a sustainable manner,whilst also confronting multiple challenges such poverty alleviation and protecting our population against climate related disasters..."

Description: "On The Listening Post this week we bring you a special show on climate change and the news coverage that seldom matches the scale and the urgency of the problem. This year, once again, extreme weather events - hurricanes, floods, wildfires - have provided the news media with the opportunity to address a planet-sized elephant in the room: climate change. But once the storm has passed, the media too moves on. The latest round of global climate talks is happening right now in Germany but the media attention has been sparse. Earlier this year, climate change came second in an international public survey of global threats and yet journalists still regularly fall short. The Listening Post?s Will Yong asks why."

Description: You may have to search youtube etc. to find the full version of the film, which is very elusive.....maybe the version on Archive.org will be stable..... "If you could know the truth about the threat of climate change — would you want to know? "Before the Flood", presented by National Geographic, features Leonardo DiCaprio on a journey as a United Nations Messenger of Peace, traveling to five continents and the Arctic to witness climate change firsthand. He goes on expeditions with scientists uncovering the reality of climate change and meets with political leaders fighting against inaction. He also discovers a calculated disinformation campaign orchestrated by powerful special interests working to confuse the public about the urgency of the growing climate crisis. With unprecedented access to thought leaders around the world, DiCaprio searches for hope in a rising tide of catastrophic news. From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Fisher Stevens and Academy Award®-winning actor, environmental activist and U.N. Messenger of Peace Leonardo DiCaprio, Before the Flood presents a riveting account of the dramatic changes now occurring around the world due to climate change, as well as the actions we as individuals and as a society can take to prevent the disruption of life on our planet. Beyond the steps we can take as individuals, the film urges viewers to push their elected officials in supporting the use of alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power. ?We need everyone to demand bold action from their political leaders and to elect representatives who have their best interests at heart, not the interests of corporations to perpetuate a cycle of greed and destruction,” says DiCaprio. ?This documentary shows how interconnected the fate of all humanity is — but also the power we all possess as individuals to build a better future for our planet.” Before the Flood premieres in theaters on October 21st and will air globally on the National Geographic Channel on October 30th in 171 countries and 45 languages. The film is directed by Fisher Stevens and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, Fisher Stevens, Jennifer Davisson and Trevor Davidoski with Brett Ratner and James Packer of RatPac Entertainment. It was written by Mark Monroe and Executive Produced by Martin Scorsese, Adam Bardach, Mark Monroe, and Zara Duffy. The film is edited by Geoffrey Richman A.C.E., Ben Sozanski, Abhay Sofsky, and Brett Banks. The Director of Photography is Antonio Rossi. The Executive Music Producers are Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross with original music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Mogwai and Gustavo Santaolalla.
