Confirmation of studies claiming that climate change is currently a source of deadly conflicts. This comes from the head of the International Red Cross, who sees regular evidence of an obvious connection. “When I think about our engagement in sub-Saharan Africa, Somalia, in other places of the world, I see that climate change has already had a massive impact on population movement, on fertility of land. It’s moving the border between pastoralist and agriculturalist.” Some of the violence is domestic and some crosses borders.

Grim reactions to the recent report ( see CL #1281) about insect losses in the tropics. From an expert who was not involved in the study, these findings are “a real wake-up call — a clarion call — that the phenomenon could be much, much bigger, and across many more ecosystems…..This is one of the most disturbing articles I have ever read.” There are links to the original report and to a more thorough commentary in the Washington Post. Massive insect loss is climbing toward the top of the list of most feared impacts of climate change in the immediate future because of their key role in every food chain, including that of humans.
–One more review, this from The Guardian, points out the distinction between massive insect losses in the temperate zones due to pesticides and other chemicals and losses of similar scale in certain tropical forests which can only be attributed to higher temperatures.

The warm water ‘blob’ in the northeast Pacific Ocean that had such nasty effects on climate a few years ago has made a comeback. This one is an effect of excessively high air temperatures that have stayed in place for a lengthy period of time in and around the Gulf of Alaska. This post also contains a winter weather forecast for the US from NOAA.

Maybe insurance companies will finally convince everyone that climate change is real. Someone has to pay for all the damages, whether or not they were insured, and they are rapidly rising. For example, “Estimated costs from Hurricane Florence, which struck the Carolinas in September, range as high as $170 billion, which would make Florence the costliest storm ever to hit the U.S……Recognizing this threat, many insurers are throwing out decades of outdated weather actuarial data and hiring teams of in-house climatologists, computer scientists and statisticians to redesign their risk models.” Deniers need not apply for those jobs.

In Alaska, climate change is happening now, and the pace is fast. The effects, to be sure, are quite different from those we see or expect in the temperate and tropical zones, but are still decidedly troublesome.
