/ September 1, 2018NASA Discovers Bubbling Lakes In The Remote Arctic – A Sign Of Global Warming
NASA has released videos of bubbling lakes in the remote Arctic tundra, where warming continues to release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere at unprecedented rates.
The international research team, funded by NASA as part of their Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE), recently published their results in Nature Communications. What they found are bubbling lakes as greenhouse gases are released from the previously frozen ground, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions and a warming positive feedback.

/ September 1, 2018The poets, if obliquely, are lending their voices to climate change. Here is one that is open to other interpretations, but one seems like climate change to me.

Shipwreck—The shore
Leslie Harrison
The sea mutters its curses its prophesies along
the lip of sand and dune and granite gray by
star gray by broken gray by cliff gray by sky
by tourist loud in the glade of his fifty week
sorrow listen that is Cassandra that is the ocean
speaking every secret every song every prayer
on its vast and dying mind while cameras while
phones freeze the foam to spilled white milk
and the gulls steal from the hands of children
deaf to everything deaf to all that will chill them
until blue rises through their seas until it clots
like paint in their soft in their softly crying lips

/ September 3, 2018Billionaire Clinton donor joins Trump administration in bid to save Navajo coal plant
Private equity fund negotiates acquisition of largest coal plant in the West.
*A long piece well worth reading. It’s about air , but also about jobs. Some want to keep their jobs but there will be some cuts* :
Tucson Electric Power has projected that it would cost an average of $56 to $57 per megawatt-hour to operate and maintain the Navajo Generating Station from 2020 to 2030. According to David Schlissel, director of resource planning analytics for research and consulting firm the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), it is extremely unlikely the Navajo Generating Station could sell power at anywhere near that price on the wholesale market or through bilateral agreements with an electric utility or another power customer.
But Middle River Power’s analysis shows the Navajo Generating Station could sell electricity at $26.84 per megawatt-hour, less than half of what Tucson Electric Power forecasts. Such a price is achievable only if production costs at the power plant are cut drastically, Schlissel wrote in a report on the Navajo Generating Station published last month.
“To get where it needs to be profit-wise, Middle River or any other owner would have to lay off workers and cut wages and benefits for remaining employees at the plant,” Schlissel said. “Miners at Kayenta Coal Mine, which supplies the plant, likely would be similarly affected.”
Also:
Members of the Navajo Nation breathe some of the dirtiest air in the country. The Clean Air Task Force, a nongovernmental organization, estimates that pollution from the Navajo Generating Station, contributes to 16 premature deaths, 25 heart attacks, 300 asthma attacks, and 15 asthma-related emergency-room visits each year, with annual health costs of more than $127 million.
