Climate Letter #299

Psychological roadblocks. “The 7 psychological reasons that are stopping us from acting on climate change.” This story is very well-written, and deserves careful study. It is primarily not about people in denial, who are more subject to an assortment of fears, but is meant for those who accept the basic science, and hope something is done about it, but then quickly return to the “more urgent” activities of everday life. Frustration also gets involved, because there is so little an individual can do, with rare exceptions, that would make any difference in the outcome.

New Arctic report card. 2014 has not been an especially dramatic year, but all trends continue to point in the same direction.

The Arctic region is warming about twice as fast as the rest of the planet, mainly due to declining albedo coverage.

Sea level rise is already strong enough to require corrective action in Virginia. “Along the Virginia coast, flooding has become such a part of everyday life that residents are responding by raising their properties about 10 feet (3 meters) off the ground—” Some coastal areas tend to be affected more than others, and this is one of them.
