[ICT - global] Indigenous plan of action for climate change summit | Indian ...: To “defeat the resistance of the contaminating countries” was the objective of indigenous leaders from 13 Latin American countries who prepared a plan of action recently for the upcoming Climate Change Summit in Mexico. "In our father's memory this was a fair, sweet land, where a man could hear his heart beat without wondering if what he heard wasn't an alarm clock, where a mancould fill his nose with pleasent flower odors without finding that they came from a bottle.

[Forests.org: Forest Protection Portal RSS Newsfeed] Climate Refugees, Hotspot Case Study: Mexico: Nevertheless, for the authors of In Search of Shelter: Mapping the Effects of Climate Change on Migration and Displacement, published in June 2009 by the United Nations University (UNU), the most alarming fact pertaining to Mexico is the predicted decrease in precipitation runoff "by at least 5 percent and possibly more than 70 percent'.4 Although the rich irrigated coastal areas, belonging to wealthy landowners, will also likely be affected, the greatest impact will be felt in the country's northern regions. There "more than 60 percent of the land is considered to be in a total or accelerated state of aridity, and mountainous lands with high slopes throughout the region have suffered deforestation and soil erosion.'5 Consistent with the irregular geographical distribution of the population present in many Latin American countries, northern Mexico is primarily inhabited by impoverished rural populations, whose livelihoods depend on rain-fed agriculture.

[Hot Air » Top Picks] Hot Air » Blog Archive » Another American media failure: After wearing sackcloth and ashes for so long, one might believe that the American national media would leap at the chance to show its newfound mission of skepticism and challenge to authority.  Unfortunately, US journalists have missed a grand opportunity to demonstrate that it learned a lesson about swallowing a story from the government without question, if indeed that is what happened in 2002 on Iraq.  We know this because their colleagues across the pond in the United Kingdom have not missed the chance to speak a little truth to power, both in their own government and to multilateral organizations that issued faulty analyses, false data, bad research, and hysterical demands for action.

In the European Parliament on Thursday he delivered what my Daily Telegraph colleague Bruno Waterfield called on his blog "a storming speech - the best I have ever heard in that place".

[Water Conserve: Water Conservation RSS Newsfeed] Climate Refugees, Hotspot Case Study: Mexico: In the past few years the U.S. has granted --lest on a case-by-case basis-- extended stay to Central American populations taking refuge in its territory following a natural disaster.37 On January 15, 2010, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano granted an 18-month temporary protection status (TPS) to the 100,000 to 200,000 illegal Haitian immigrants currently residing in the United States, but warned that those seeking to escape the disaster zone by migrating to the U.S would be stopped by the Coast Guard.38 Although the amnesty is bound to have positive effects on the situation --by allowing Haitians living, and now legally working in the U.S. to send much needed remittances back home¬-- the decision to prohibit the entrance of those affected by the earthquake raises, once again, questions surrounding the rights of those fleeing their home due to environmental forces. If the U.S. decides to give a more humane answer to future environmentally induced migration flows in the Western hemisphere, they might have to offer the TPS amnesty more often, or include some sort of extensions for temporal and seasonal South-North migration into the Regional Conference on Migration --also known as the "Puebla Process'-- or another convention that lobbies for U.S. immigration flexibility.39

Polls find more Americans questioning whether human activity is leading to climate change, or whether the trend is so dire as to justify reshaping U.S. energy use during an economic slump, as President Barack Obama has proposed.

[Bad Astronomy] Two posts about denialism, climate change and otherwise | Bad ...: Difficult for me to say as I will admit that in a similar situation I have done something similar (specifically, not committed something to email because it would then be FOIA-able according to US law). The reality is that when you work in a politically charged environment, people can and do take anything you might say or do and spin it in the worst possible light, thus forcing you to defend yourself against spurious and fallacious claims instead of doing real work (which, in some cases, is the actual intent of the FOIAs).
