Federal Judge Blocks Keystone Pipeline!

Republicans Still Ignoring Climate Change

The climate continues to suffer, as humans ignore the reality of climate change.  The consequences will be severse, especially for our children, and their children.
 
A federal judge has blocked the project, saying that Republicans have failed to justify re-starting the project.  The judge said that Republicans ignored the facts of climate change, and this violates the "Administrative Procedure Act" which requires "reasoned" decisions for government actions.

The decision is not permanent; it requires the administration to provide further details and justifications.  The Trump administration has repeatedly lost in court, as it seeks to remove environmental protections.  The Keystone project puts the environment at risk in several ways, and is opposed by many groups. The judges ruling on the Keystone pipeline was long and detailed, which will help future court hearings bring clarity to this issue as well.

Disaster Looming? 15-to-20 Foot Sea Rise

Results Would be Catastrophic

Scientists are now looking at possible outcomes of global warming with a 15 to 20 foot sea level rise.  The results for our planet would be catastrophic.
 
Hurricane Michael was the 3rd worst storm ever to hit the USA.  It had 155mph winds and a 14-foot storm surge.  Storms appear to be gettng worse, from the warming of climate change.  Yet we are still doing so little to help.

What Happens if Storms Worsen?

Once storm surges reach a certain point (which will vary for each area), the water will not fully recede.  Low-lying areas will simply fill with the salt water of the ocean, and stay - ruining communities, killing crops amd wildlife, creating toxic pollution (as everything mixes together, such as gasoline), and getting into underground clean water wells.  The long term damage will be incalculable, and very long lasting.

Some scientists are forecasting up to 20 feet in sea rise, which means storm surges that are far worse.  Every major city on all coasts in the planet could be destroyed.
 
Hurricane Michael will cost billions in storm damage, perhaps as much as $30 billion - and future storms are projected to be worse.  When will we start to fight global warming?  It is the weather extremes that cause the most damage - and weather extremes are what Climate Change is causing.
 
Many of the poorer communities are in low-lying areas, which are the hardest hit by storms in general - and storm surge in particular.  It looks like future storm surge could completely, and permanently, inundate entire communities.

Storms - Getting Worse?

Climate Change May Affect the Weather

In many areas, weather is just weather; its hard to make a connection to climate change.  But the larger storms (Hurricans & Tornados) may get worse because of climate change.  As the weather warms, there is more heat and turbulence in the atmosphere, and more water vapor.  Also, the ocean surface is warmer and that can affect storms.

Time will tell but it is very likely that this will get worse, not better.  Everyone needs to be more prepared for worsening storms, and these preparations are happening all over the world.  It has nothing to do with politics it is just the reality of the world we live in.

One thing is clear: coastal areas are at more risk, as rising sea level makes storm surges worse.  This will happen with Hurricanes.  Here is a view of Florence, a 2018 hurricane; this view is from the space station.  It is remakable how large the eye of this hurricane is, and to be visible from space so clearly:
