This week in climate: March 8 - 12, 2010

This week it was the scientists who came out swinging with a one-two punch--first a blistering letter signed by 250 elite scientists repudiating attacks on the IPCC, followed by a 2026 member blue-ribbon brain-trust missive, both hitting the U.S. Congress where it hurts most--right in the facts. And, they kept at it issuing reports on the devastating potential impacts of climate change on birds, growing examples of climate-caused dead zones in oceans, and, yes, a little study on the use of cocaine and climate.

Changing the Game - TckTckTck receives media innovation award

In 2009, in our all out effort to influence the outcome of the UN climate conference in Copenhagen, we tried a lot of new things in an extremely short period of time. On the digital and media sides of the campaign, one might say, we threw a lot of spaghetti on the wall to see what sticked (which is the culture of digital media - the field is so new there is a lot of experimentation).

Bill McKibben compares the attack on climate science to OJ Simpson trial

A familiar face in the climate movement - and a major partner behind the TckTckTck campaign - Bill McKibben last week wrote a great in-depth article comparing the OJ Simpson trials in the 90's to the current relentless attacks on climate science by entrenched fossil fuel and flat earth types. The analogy is drawn due to the way OJ's trial lawyers - some of the best in the world - distracted attention from the obvious facts showing guilt, to the way those facts were gathered by law enforcement agencies.

From the piece:

The best possible outcome in Copenhagen?

I know this might sound strange after so many people have expressed so much anger and disappointment at the failure of our political leaders to make the necessary decisions – and that is how I felt immediately after the conference - but this might be how the history books record it.

2009 - The Explosion of the Climate Change Movement

Our friend Robert van Waarden has put together an inspiring montage of images that capture the energy, creativity, and dedication of the climate movement throughout 2009.

With the Copenhagen climate talks as the focus, 2009 was the year that our climate movement came into its own, bursting onto the scene and bringing with it a connected global sense of urgency on this the most significant threat to our planet. Millions of global citizens stood behind a common message that the world is ready.

DeBoer, Hedegaard downplay expectations for a full legally binding treaty to be completed in Cancun
Outgoing UN Climate Chief Yvo DeBoer said this week that it is a “heavy lift” to have the content and form of a legal treaty completed in Cancun. At the EU meeting this week his sentiments were echoed by Connie Hedegaard, now the EU Environment Minister, who warned that “while it is desirable to achieve a legally binding deal as soon as possible, this was most likely not achievable before the ‘Cop 17".

The tipping pont: Climate Change and Poverty in Tajikistan

Millennia-old glaciers retreating, some shrinking at a pace of 16-20 metres per year, will bring about greater water shortages and potential disputes over dwindling resources in the region of Central Asia. The people of Tajikistan, who already feel the strains of climate change and food insecurity, will likely face increases in extreme weather like droughts and floods that could dangerously erode food security, livelihoods and even regional stability by 2050.

Europe: You are Not Done Yet!

This Sunday, January 31st, represents the official deadline for signatories to the Copenhagen Accord to submit their 2020 emissions targets. While UN officials have taken pains to stress this is a “soft” deadline, it is still an important milestone as countries make their first tentative steps on the global climate policy stage since COP15.

In this context it is paramount that Europe submit an unconditional target of 30% or higher to reinvigorate and normalize ambitious target setting internationally.
