        <div class="body-description"><div class="widget__brief">
                <p>By Whitney Webb</p><p>Soon after Saturday's dangerous escalation involving Syria's downing of an Israeli fighter jet in its airspace seemed to fizzle out, the Jerusalem Post  <a href="http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Preparing-for-war-in-the-north-Israel-boosts-air-defense-542284" target="_blank">reported</a> that Israel was approaching the de-escalation period as a time to prepare for large-scale war with its northern neighbor by boosting its air defenses. According to those cited by the Post, convoys of missile-defense batteries have been relocated to the Israeli-Arab city of Baka al-Gharbiya and numerous other batteries have been sighted on highways throughout northern Israel.</p>

            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;While the deployment of air defenses to the country&#39;s north seems to forebode an imminent conflict, some experts, like Ofer Zalzberg of the International Crisis Group think tank, have asserted that the recent escalation between Syria and Israel will remain contained, despite Israel&#39;s apparent preparations for a large-scale conflict. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;I think this incident is more likely to be contained because fundamentally it is a gradual attempt to renegotiate the so-called rules of the game,&#34; Zalzberg &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.yahoo.com/news/israel-warns-over-irans-presence-syria-air-strikes-155202407.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;told AFP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;u&gt;,&lt;/u&gt; further suggesting that Russia should mediate in order to prevent the weekend&#39;s events from sparking a regional war. Russia, for its part, seemed eager to halt the hostilities, as it urged the need to &#34;avoid any measure that could lead to a dangerous escalation.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indeed, any escalation that would lead to a state of open conflict between Syria and Israel would surely spread, quickly involving Syrian allies including Iran and Lebanon&#39;s Hezbollah and, potentially, more powerful nations like the U.S. and Russia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if recent events fail to translate into a war between Israel and its northern neighbors, any attempts to prevent such a war—no matter how &#34;successful&#34; they may seem—will only be temporary at best. Israel, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.williambowles.info/syria_lebanon/water_conflicts.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;even prior&lt;/a&gt; to its establishment as a state in 1948, has been ever eager to annex southern Syria in order to gain access to key resources—first, fresh &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/water&#34;&gt;water&lt;/a&gt; and now, oil. It is this same desire that continues to motivate Israel&#39;s aggression against its neighbors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Syria will not relinquish what is theirs as long as their sovereignty remains intact, Israel has sought to take such prizes through a variety of tactics ranging from illegal occupation to fomenting covert regime-change efforts. As those efforts have continued to fail, Israel has grown more and more desperate to lay claim to those resources that lie just beyond its reach. Unless Israel relinquishes its desire for its neighbor&#39;s resources, the next war is inevitable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Golan: Israeli Goal in Pushing Syria to War&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though casual observers of the Syrian conflict may find the weekend&#39;s events as having come out of nowhere, those who have closely followed the conflict and appreciate the context will note that Israel seems to have finally gotten the war with Syria it &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mintpressnews.com/why-conflict-syria-was-always-israels-war/231532/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;has long sought.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, Israel is not hungry for war in and of itself. Instead, it is eager to cement its claim to the Golan Heights, a plateau bordering Israel, Lebanon and Syria. In order to accomplish that, regime change in Syria is essential, as the international community &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/04/rejects-israel-claim-syria-golan-heights-160426195853040.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;still refuses&lt;/a&gt; to recognize Israel&#39;s seizure and continued occupation of the Golan as legal. This bars Israel from commercially developing the area&#39;s rich resources, which are key to understanding Israel&#39;s willingness to go to war over a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/04/rejects-israel-claim-syria-golan-heights-160426195853040.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;seemingly&lt;/a&gt; small and insignificant tract of land. However, a new Syrian government, one more &#34;friendly&#34; to Israeli interests, could officially relinquish Syria&#39;s claim to the Golan, paving the way for the complete and official annexation of the territory by Israel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though measuring no more than roughly 460 square miles, the Golan is of great strategic importance for several reasons. The &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/6855&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;most commonly cited&lt;/a&gt; by Israeli media is that it offers a bulwark against northern &#34;hostile&#34; nations due to its rugged geography, helping Israel to &#34;defend&#34; against incoming attacks from either Syria or Lebanon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;YP6SU71518615564&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;a0564&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17208821/980x.jpg&#34;/&gt;
&lt;small class=&#34;image-media media-caption&#34; placeholder=&#34;add caption...&#34;&gt;Golan Heights, Sept. 24, 2017&lt;/small&gt;&lt;small class=&#34;image-media media-photo-credit&#34; placeholder=&#34;add photo credit...&#34;&gt;ThisGlobalCitizen / Flickr&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, much more important to Israel&#39;s &#34;national security&#34; than the oft-stated &#34;barrier&#34; advantage is the fact that the Golan Heights houses significant fresh-water resources. Under occupation, the Golan is &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/6855&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;one of three sources&lt;/a&gt; of fresh water to the Israeli state—and is the largest in size and most plentiful, as it comprises the mountain streams that feed Lake Kinneret (the Sea of Galilee) and the headwaters of the Jordan river. Currently, more than  &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mfa.gov.il/mfa/aboutisrael/maps/pages/golan%20heights.aspx&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;a third&lt;/a&gt; of all the fresh water made available to Israelis originates in the Golan Heights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though fresh water is an especially important resource in the Middle East, it is now more important to Israel than ever before. Israel is in its &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/29/israel-drought-minister-rallies-thousands-to-pray-for-relief&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;fourth year&lt;/a&gt; of a &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/drought&#34;&gt;drought&lt;/a&gt; so massive that a NASA study called it the worst drought in the region in &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.algemeiner.com/2016/03/22/how-israel-survived-the-mediterraneans-worst-drought-in-900-years/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;nearly 900 years&lt;/a&gt;. As a result, the water in the Golan Heights is essential to Israel and its attempts to expand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This resource was a major motivating factor in Israel&#39;s 1967 takeover and subsequent 1981 annexation of the Golan Heights. During that period, Israel expelled nearly all of the area&#39;s original inhabitants and demolished their villages. As Israeli newspaper Haaretz  &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/the-disinherited-1.304959&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt; in 2010, more than 100,000 Syrians lost their homes and property as a result of the occupation. Israel has no intention of letting the Golan&#39;s original inhabitants return, however. The area is currently home to some 20,000 settlers and a plan is &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mintpressnews.com/israel-takes-advantage-of-syrian-civil-war-to-expand-illegal-golan-heights-settlements/210294/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;currently underway&lt;/a&gt; to settle 100,000 more in the next several years in order to strengthen Israel&#39;s claim to the area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though the abundant fresh water in the Golan Heights is of crucial importance to Israel, the Golan&#39;s value grew sharply following the discovery of a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mintpressnews.com/israel-takes-advantage-of-syrian-civil-war-to-expand-illegal-golan-heights-settlements/210294/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;major oil reserve&lt;/a&gt; in the area, estimated to contain &#34;billions of barrels&#34; of crude oil that could turn Israel—which currently imports the vast majority of its fuel—into a net oil exporter. Yet, because the Golan Heights are internationally recognized as being under occupation and not an official part of Israel, the commercial extraction and export of this vast oil reserve cannot go forward—until this status changes. As a result, only exploratory wells have been drilled, mostly by a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mintpressnews.com/israel-exploits-syrian-chaos-as-part-of-long-term-energy-independence-plan/207962/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;division of Genie Energy Co.&lt;/a&gt;, a U.S.-based oil company connected to well-known figures such as Rupert Murdoch, Jacob Rothschild and Dick Cheney.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The desire to claim the Golan Heights and all of its resources under internationally recognized circumstances is also, in part, to blame for Israel&#39;s key role in the genesis of the current violence in Syria.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Five years before the current conflict in Syria began, the government of Israel &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mintpressnews.com/wikileaks-us-israel-and-saudi-arabia-planned-overthrow-of-syrian-govt-in-2006/221784/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;hatched a plan&lt;/a&gt; to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by creating sectarian strife in the country and isolating Syria from its strongest regional ally, Iran. As mentioned, the Assad-led government has refused to recognize Israel&#39;s hold on the Golan and has vowed to retake it as part of Syria.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The plan was never designed to be enacted by Israel but instead by its &#34;staunch ally&#34; the United States. The U.S. adopted the plan and the communications of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton revealed that this plan was a major factor in U.S. policy leading up to the genesis of the Syrian conflict. One of her leaked &lt;a href=&#34;https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/18328#source&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;emails&lt;/a&gt;, published by WikiLeaks, stated that &#34;the best way to help Israel deal with Iran&#39;s growing nuclear capability is to help the people of Syria overthrow the regime of Bashar Assad.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That same email also noted that &#34;a successful intervention in Syria would require substantial diplomatic and military leadership from the United States.&#34; It also added that &#34;arming the Syrian rebels and using Western air power to ground Syrian helicopters and airplanes is a low-cost high-payoff approach.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unsurprisingly, official recognition of Israel&#39;s annexation of the Golan was prominent among the regime-change promises touted by the Syrian &#34;rebels.&#34; Throughout the now seven-year-long war, rebels have offered to &#34;&lt;a href=&#34;http://news.antiwar.com/2014/03/16/syrian-rebels-offer-to-trade-golan-to-israel-for-military-aid/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;trade&lt;/a&gt;&#34; or &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4499296,00.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;sell&lt;/a&gt; the Golan to Israel in exchange for military aid or an Israeli-imposed &#34;no-fly zone&#34; in their bid to overthrow Assad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mintpressnews.com/new-report-confirms-israel-secretly-funding-syrian-rebels-years/229038/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Israel&lt;/a&gt; and U.S.&#39; best efforts, the &#34;low-cost high-payoff approach&#34; has not gone as planned. Instead, Assad has managed to consolidate large parts of Syrian territory once lost to the &#34;rebels,&#34; the bulk of which are terrorist groups or their affiliates. As its past efforts and more recent plans to annex southern Syria through regime change have failed, Israel has grown more desperate, as evidenced by everything from the &#34;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mintpressnews.com/israeli-pm-hot-mic-deriding-crazy-eu-admitting-syria-strikes/229931/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;dozens and dozens&lt;/a&gt;&#34; of attacks it has launched against Syria to &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Israeli-Official-If-Iran-extends-in-Syrian-well-bomb-Assads-palace-503597&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;last year&#39;s threats&lt;/a&gt; to assassinate Assad by bombing his residence. Experts have long noted that these are attempts to provoke Syria into a conflict.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to these provocations, Israel has been creeping further into southern Syria under the guise of establishing a &#34;safe-zone&#34; or buffer region that extends from the Golan into the southern Syrian provinces of Quneitra and Daraa. According to Syrian opposition sources and Israeli-American NGOs, &lt;a href=&#34;https://theintercept.com/2018/01/23/israel-syria-safe-buffer-zone-golan-heights/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;this safe zone&lt;/a&gt; is &#34;intended to keep the Syrian army and its Iranian and Lebanese allies as far away from Israel&#39;s border as possible, as well as solidify Israel&#39;s control over the occupied Golan Heights.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alongside the buffer zone&#39;s expansion, Israel &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mintpressnews.com/israel-occupy-syria-town-near-golan-heights-protect-druze/234146/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;has &#34;offered&#34;&lt;/a&gt; to occupy Syrian villages to &#34;protect&#34; them from the very Syrian rebels that Israel has been funding, arming, and offering medical treatment to throughout the conflict—even though most are allied with al-Nusra Front (Al Qaeda) or Daesh (ISIS).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While Israel has, for much of the war, been conducting these attacks against, and illegal incursions into, Syria with impunity, all of that has now changed due to this past weekend&#39;s events. Now that Syria is responding to flagrant violations of its sovereignty, Israel knows the match is lit and, by all indications, is preparing for what comes next.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed&#34;&gt;

                <p>By Rhea Suh </p><p>It may sound like green eyeshades stuff, but the massive budget proposal the White House sends up to Congress each February is a kind of road map to our future. It's the president's plan for spending taxpayer dollars to advance his priorities and goals.</p><p><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/" target="_blank">President Trump's proposal</a> landed with a thud Monday on Capitol Hill, where it should be dead on arrival. It calls for a record $4.4 trillion in spending for the fiscal year that begins in October. It would <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/12/us/politics/white-house-budget-congress.html" target="_blank">spike the federal budget deficit, adding $7.1 trillion</a> to the national debt in the coming decade. And it would eviscerate environmental and health protections, stifle clean energy research, raid our public waters and lands, and abandon our children to <a href="https://www.nrdc.org/issues/climate-change" target="_blank">the growing dangers of climate change</a>.</p>

                        &lt;p&gt;That&#39;s the road map to a future none of us wants to see.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Americans believe in responsible public oversight to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink and the world we&#39;ll leave our children. An &lt;a href=&#34;http://news.gallup.com/poll/1615/environment.aspx&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;overwhelming 85 percent &lt;/a&gt;expect our federal government to do more to protect our environment or at least maintain existing protections.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/donald-trump&#34;&gt;Trump&lt;/a&gt;, however, calls for gutting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/epa&#34;&gt;EPA&lt;/a&gt;), with staff and budget cuts of 21 percent and 24 percent, respectively, as compared with &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.epa.gov/planandbudget/budget&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;2017 levels&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That means fewer people to monitor air and water quality; enforce our laws; and work with lawmakers, local businesses, public advocates and others to respond to emerging threats. Trump would cut by half, for example, the EPA work we all depend on &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.epa.gov/radiation&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;to protect human health and the environment from cancer-causing radiation&lt;/a&gt; in our &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/drinking-water&#34;&gt;drinking water&lt;/a&gt;, indoor air, and industrial facilities. You don&#39;t strengthen environmental protections by taking the environmental steward off the beat. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And for what? The $1.9 billion Trump wants to cut from EPA spending is &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/promise/1397/build-wall-and-make-mexico-pay-it/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;barely one-tenth what he wants taxpayers to fork out&lt;/a&gt; over the next two years to build &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/the-conversation/sd-trump-wall-borders-state-of-the-union-20180130-htmlstory.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;his &#34;great wall&#34;&lt;/a&gt; to divide us from our Mexican neighbors, pure folly that &lt;a href=&#34;https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2508&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;more than six in ten Americans oppose&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://medium.com/natural-resources-defense-council/one-year-of-trumps-environmental-attacks-and-more-to-come-4d53778cbfd0&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Trump&#39;s assault on environmental protection&lt;/a&gt;, though, is part of &lt;a href=&#34;https://medium.com/natural-resources-defense-council/no-trump-has-not-ended-the-war-on-american-energy-57eef5674f2c&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;a larger scheme to put profits for fossil fuel&lt;/a&gt; companies and other polluters first—and put the rest of us at risk. He calls for a 16 percent cut in funding for the U.S. Department of the Interior, which is charged with overseeing our &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/national-parks&#34;&gt;national parks&lt;/a&gt;, wilderness areas, and other public waters and lands. Those cuts would eliminate thousands of employees that implement vital programs essential to the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/conservation&#34;&gt;conservation&lt;/a&gt; of lands that belong to you and me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump&#39;s budget, meanwhile, would add spending needed to expose special places to the hazards and harm of oil and gas drilling. Places like the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nrdc.org/experts/rhea-suh/attack-our-national-monuments-just-got-real&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante&lt;/a&gt; national monuments in Utah; the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nrdc.org/experts/rhea-suh/sacrificing-arctic-refuge-cant-save-trumps-tax-cut-plan-rich&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Arctic National Wildlife Refuge &lt;/a&gt;in Alaska; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://medium.com/natural-resources-defense-council/trump-moves-to-open-90-percent-of-our-coastal-waters-to-oil-drilling-c3d8ca002c3a&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, and Alaskan waters and parts of the Gulf of Mexico&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While heading up a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/fossil-fuels&#34;&gt;fossil fuel&lt;/a&gt; raid on public waters and lands, Trump wants to burn the technological seed corn of the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/renewable-energy/&#34;&gt;clean energy&lt;/a&gt; revolution that&#39;s remaking the global economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump calls for a 65 percent cut in the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office at the U.S. Department of Energy. This office helps us do more with less waste in our cars, workplaces and homes and helps us get more clean, homegrown American power from the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/wind&#34;&gt;wind&lt;/a&gt; and sun, which &lt;a href=&#34;http://news.gallup.com/poll/190268/prioritize-alternative-energy-oil-gas.aspx&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;more than seven in ten Americans favor&lt;/a&gt; over coal, oil and gas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He&#39;s also proposed eliminating the successful Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy. Over the past decade, the program has invested between $180 million and $306 million a year in &lt;a href=&#34;https://arpa-e.energy.gov/?q=publications/arpa-e-impacts-sample-project-outcomes-volume-ii&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;promising new energy technologies &lt;/a&gt;that can help clean up our dirty power plants, for example, provide cleaner fuels for our cars and trucks, and help make our electricity grid more efficient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For that matter, Trump&#39;s budget would put energy efficiency out of reach for millions of low-income Americans by eliminating the popular &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/ocs/liheap_fact_sheet_031717.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program&lt;/a&gt; and the Energy Department&#39;s &lt;a href=&#34;https://energy.gov/eere/wipo/weatherization-assistance-program&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Weatherization Assistance&lt;/a&gt; program. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, Trump wants to turn his back on the central environmental challenge of our time, eliminating $160 million in investments through the &lt;a href=&#34;https://2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/250737.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Global Climate Change Initiative&lt;/a&gt;, which enables U.S. diplomats and aid experts to help developing countries find cleaner, smarter ways to power economic growth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump&#39;s budget isn&#39;t a road map to the future. It&#39;s a blueprint for destruction that balloons the deficit, puts our environment and health at growing risk, and leaves our kids to pay the price.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The country deserves better than that―and so do our children.&lt;/p&gt;

                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;A new study in &lt;a href=&#34;http://nature.com/articles/doi:10.1038/s41467-017-02411-5&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Nature Communications&lt;/a&gt; looks at the climate impact of a shift from truck-based to drone-based package delivery. It finds that while small drones carrying packages weighing less than 0.5 kg would reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel or electric trucks anywhere in the U.S., the same is not true for larger drones carrying heavier packages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Game of Drones&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The cost of drones has fallen dramatically over the past decade. At the same time, improvements in battery energy storage and a reduction in battery costs have led to drones that can fly much larger distances. Advances in automation and computer vision has made it possible to conceive of drones that could deliver packages to individual homes without requiring a human operator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The combination of these factors has led companies—including Amazon, Google, UPS, DHL and others—to start developing programs for drone-based delivery of packages. Due to their fast delivery speed, drones are a natural fit for same-day delivery of orders, something that a number of different companies &lt;a href=&#34;https://money.howstuffworks.com/amazon-same-day-delivery3.htm&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;have been pursuing&lt;/a&gt; in recent years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;While the commercial use of drones is strictly regulated today, both the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency are &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-21/more-drones-for-hire-coming-to-u-s-skies-under-landmark-rules&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;developing regulations&lt;/a&gt; to allow the use of drones for delivery purposes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Current in-city delivery of packages is primarily via diesel trucks in both the U.S. and Europe. Some companies are piloting electric delivery trucks. While their deployment to date has been fairly small, they are &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/automotive/fuelefficient/ct-autos-electric-trucks-20171115-story.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;expected to take&lt;/a&gt; a larger market share in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;In most prototype programs developed by companies so far, the drones used for delivery have been relatively small battery-powered &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadcopter&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;quadcopters&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&#34;http://smashingdrones.com/hexacopters-quadcopters-and-octocopters-what-is-the-difference/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;octocopters&lt;/a&gt;. These drones can only fly for around 10-15 minutes before their batteries are exhausted, limiting the range in which they can deliver packages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new study looks at the climate impacts of two specific types of drones: small quadcopters capable of transporting 0.5kg and large octocopters that can carry up to 8.1kg. Both types of drones are capable of carrying a single package up to 4km and returning to refuel before their battery runs out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Drones, More Warehouses&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The limited range of drones compared to traditional diesel delivery trucks would require companies to build many drone-enabled warehouses in locations close to customers. The authors of the new study suggest that this would increase direct energy use by these additional warehouses, as well as require additional deliveries to these distributed warehouses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The authors give an example of how warehouses for drone delivery in the San Francisco Bay Area might work, as shown in the figure below. As drones only have a range of around 4km, a warehouse would be needed every few kilometers to cover an entire region. They suggest that most of San Francisco itself could be supplied from only four warehouses given its density (left map), but that 112 warehouses would be needed to supply the entire San Francisco Bay Area (right map).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Small Drones Can Reduce Emissions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;All types of delivery drones are much more efficient per mile travelled than diesel trucks. However, delivery trucks generally do not carry only one parcel. Thus, the energy used per package is considerably smaller. The researchers point out that &#34;delivery trucks carry many packages, delivering on average 0.94 packages per km (1.51 per mile), and their impacts need to be allocated per package.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;To account for this, the authors calculate the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in grams of CO2-equivalent (CO2eq) per package from small drones, large drones, diesel trucks, natural gas trucks, electric trucks and petrol vans. They further examine how these findings vary across the different electricity generation mixes found in the U.S. You can see their main results in the figure below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The authors find that small drones that carry packages lighter than 0.5kg have the lowest overall GHG emissions of any delivery system they examined. This is true both in places such as California (where electricity is relatively low-carbon), for the U.S. average grid mix and for areas of the U.S. with the most carbon-intensive electricity.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Small drones result in a 50 percent reduction in GHG emissions per package delivered compared to diesel trucks in California and 37 percent less carbon than diesel trucks on average across the whole U.S. In Missouri, which has among the most &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2017-02/documents/egrid2014_summarytables_v2.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;carbon-intensive electricity&lt;/a&gt; in the country, small drones still result in a 23 percent reduction in emissions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;If it is assumed that the alternative to drone delivery is electric delivery trucks rather than diesel trucks, small drones reduce GHG emissions by 26 percent in California and 33 percent for the whole U.S. Interestingly, for the current U.S. electricity grid mix, electric trucks result in about the same emissions as diesel trucks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The picture is quite different for large drones, which carry packages up to 8.1kg. While they still reduce emissions in &#34;low-carbon&#34; California, they only result in a 9 percent reduction compared to diesel trucks. In the U.S. as a whole, their emissions are actually 24 percent. This will change in the future as the U.S. grid mix becomes cleaner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;In general, drones have a large potential for reduced transport emissions, while potential carbon reductions for diesel vehicles are more limited.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Breaking Down the Sources&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The paper further breaks down emissions from each delivery option based on the portion that comes from transporting the packages, energy used for storing packages in warehouses, and the producing batteries used in drones and electric trucks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The figure below shows the breakdown for various delivery options for the average U.S. grid mix.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Small drones have a remarkably low transportation-related electricity use, with almost all their emissions coming from the additional warehouses that need to be built. By contrast, large drones require much more electricity. Their emissions per package delivered is higher, with their combined transport electricity and battery production emissions roughly equal to the diesel fuel emissions from conventional diesel delivery trucks for the U.S. average grid mix. Electric trucks also show similarly high transportation-related emissions.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;While reducing the carbon intensity of electricity generation would reduce both large drone and electric truck emissions compared to diesel trucks, the authors say there is little reason to prefer large drones over electric trucks for package delivery due to the extra warehouse-related emissions that large drones require.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&#39;Significant Promise&#39;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Overall, the researchers find &#34;significant promise in the use of drones to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.&#34; However, they also warn that &#34;there are plausible scenarios where drones lead to overall higher energy use and greenhouse gas emissions compared to ground vehicles.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;As &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.cmu.edu/cee/people/faculty/samaras.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Dr. Costas Sampras&lt;/a&gt;, the director the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.cmu.edu/cee/adaptation/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Center for Engineering and Resilience for Climate Adaptation&lt;/a&gt; at Carnegie Mellon University and one of the authors of the paper, told Carbon Brief:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;&#34;Our research finds that small package delivery by drones likely has lower GHG emissions than diesel trucks, even when accounting for the potential additional warehouse space needed. For larger packages, we found that it&#39;s probably better to use electric vans or electric trucks rather than large drones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;However, if warehouses to support urban drone delivery are constructed, they are likely to be used by both small and large drones—presenting a challenge for reducing GHGs from package delivery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;To maximise the climate benefits, firms should focus on smaller drones and an electrified ground fleet, while policy makers should focus on continued decarbonisation of electricity, as well as improved energy efficiency in buildings.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt; &lt;em&gt;Reposted with permission from our media associate &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.carbonbrief.org/small-drones-could-be-better-for-climate-than-delivery-trucks-says-study&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Carbon Brief&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

                <p>
	A suspected <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/poaching">poacher</a> was mauled to death and eaten by a pride of <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/lions">lions</a> outside of South Africa's famed Kruger National Park, according to media reports.
</p><p>
	The victim's remains were found over the weekend at a private game park near Hoedspruit in the province of Limpopo. The lions ate most of the body but left the head behind. A loaded hunting rifle was also found nearby.
</p>
            </div>
            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;
	&#34;It seems the victim was poaching in the game park when he was attacked and killed by lions. They ate his body, nearly all of it, and just left his head and some remains,&#34; Limpopo police spokesman Moatshe Ngoepe said in a statement.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5380597/Poacher-EATEN-lions-hunting-South-Africa.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;The Daily Mail&lt;/a&gt; reported that the hunter was heard screaming for help as he was being attacked.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;A scream was heard and the lions were scattered by the sound of gunshots but it was too late to do anything for him. He was eaten,&#34; said a local worker quoted by the publication.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Police are now trying to identify the dead man. &#34;The process of identifying this body has already commenced and it might be made easier as his head was amongst the remains found at the scene,&#34; Police Lieutenant-Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Between 1993 and 2014, populations of African lions declined by 43 percent, the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/15951/0&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;International Union for Conservation of Nature&lt;/a&gt; (IUCN) said. The IUCN classifies lions as &#34;vulnerable to extinction,&#34; one step away from endangered. The IUCN classification is propped up by a 12 percent population increase in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. However, outside of these four countries, lion populations have fallen by an average of 60 percent.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The decline is due to indiscriminate killing in defense of human life and livestock, habitat loss and prey base depletion, the IUCN said. Other causes include poaching and bushmeat trade,  as well as an emerging trade in bones and other body parts for traditional medicine, both within Africa and in Asia.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The story has since gone viral and Twitter users have commented on the poacher&#39;s death by lions as an act of karma. See below:

	&#34;The 2019 budget continues to propose the elimination of appropriations language restricting BLM&#39;s use of all of the management options authorized in the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act,&#34; the Interior Department&#39;s plan states, in reference to the 1971 law that calls for the &#34;protection, management and control&#34; of the animals on public land. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;This change will provide BLM with the full suite of tools to manage the unsustainable growth of wild horse and burro herds.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.aspca.org/news/senate-votes-house-votes-horse-slaughter-wild-horses-what-does-it-all-mean&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;For more than a decade&lt;/a&gt;, Congress has used appropriations bill riders to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/07/17/congress-could-authorize-horse-meat-dinner/485390001/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;prohibit&lt;/a&gt; the BLM from spending taxpayer money on &#34;the destruction of healthy, unadopted, wild horses and burros in the care of [BLM] or its contractors or for the sale of wild horses and burros that results in their destruction for processing into commercial products.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The BLM uses helicopters to round up thousands of wild horses and burros from public lands each year. About 45,000 captured animals are held in government corrals and pastures, costing taxpayers $50 million annually. Another 67,000 wild horses and burros roam around on federal land.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The bureau asserted last year that a high number of &#34;excess wild horses and burros causes habitat damage that forces animals to leave public lands and travel onto private property or even highways in search of food and water&#34; and requested that Congress remove some restrictions on the sale and disposition of &#34;excess&#34; animals.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The &lt;a href=&#34;https://americanwildhorsecampaign.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;American Wild Horse Campaign&lt;/a&gt; (AWHC) condemned the president&#39;s latest budget proposal. The horse advocacy group worries that the animals in holding and those considered &#34;excess&#34; on the range would be killed en masse if Congress were to grant the BLM&#39;s budget request.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&#34;The Trump administration continues to defy the will of the American people by proposing the slaughter of America&#39;s iconic wild horses and burros,&#34; said Suzanne Roy, executive director of the American Wild Horse Campaign.

&lt;iframe class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;93EKOZ1518552589&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; height=&#34;150&#34; id=&#34;twitter-embed-963427978595241984&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34; src=&#34;/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-963427978595241984&amp;amp;created_ts=1518534104.0&amp;amp;screen_name=FreeWildHorses&amp;amp;text=The+Interior+Dept.+again+asks+congress+to+lift+long-standing+%23wildhorse+slaughter+ban+in+FY+2019+Appropriations.+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FO1Ig6Amuvz&amp;amp;id=963427978595241984&amp;amp;name=AWHC&#34; width=&#34;100%&#34;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	A poll cited by the AWHC showed that 80 percent of Americans—including 86 percent of Trump voters and 77 percent of Clinton voters—oppose the slaughter and mass killing of wild horses and burros.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;The administration&#39;s decision to prioritize slaughter over humane management alternatives recommended by the National Academy of Sciences is irresponsible, reckless and politically unacceptable,&#34; Roy said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	A 2013 National Academy of Sciences review of the BLM&#39;s Wild Horse and Burro Management program found that a birth control vaccine was among the most safe, effective and economical ways to humanely reduce horse reproductive rates on the range.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	 But according to the AWHC, the BLM &#34;has refused to use this method in more than a token manner, opting instead for costly and cruel helicopter roundups.&#34;

                <p style="">From Jan. 28 to Feb. 7 my wife and I were in Vieques, Puerto Rico, helping as best we could with recovery from <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/hurricane-maria">Hurricane Maria</a>, which hit on Sept. 20, 2017 almost five months ago.

The only street in Esperanza that fully had electrical power when we were there was the Malecon, the downtown street next to the water where bars, restaurants and hotels are, and they didn&#39;t get that power until the fifth day we were there. What electrical power there was elsewhere in town came from gas-powered generators bought by residents who could afford them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34; style=&#34;&#34;&gt;

&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;PGDSSQ1518561083&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;643ee&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17203649/980x.jpg&#34;/&gt;
&lt;small class=&#34;image-media media-photo-credit&#34; placeholder=&#34;add photo credit...&#34;&gt;Ted Glick&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Despite all of these serious problems, the sense I had was that people in general were pulling together, some more than others, to climb out of the hole the hurricane put them in. They were doing so even though there was a lot of criticism of FEMA for its slowness and for it denying aid to a number of people whose homes had been damaged.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;I was glad to learn that the use of &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/solar&#34;&gt;solar energy&lt;/a&gt;, in different forms, is growing, from small solar lights, which are popular, to solar panels on roofs to provide an alternative to an unreliable electric grid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;SYSSY91518561083&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;7b7fc&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17203652/980x.jpg&#34;/&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;One of the big takeaways for me was the reinforcement of something I have known intellectually for years, that &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/extreme-weather&#34;&gt;extreme weather events&lt;/a&gt;, like the climate changing which makes them worse and more frequent, hurts low-income people the most. Middle- and upper-class people who have access to financial and other resources had found ways to lessen their suffering or discomfort, like through personal generators. But those without those resources were in a different situation. I heard of at least one family that was sleeping in a tent in their living room because there had been serious damage to their roof that they had not yet been able to afford getting fixed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Unfortunately, it&#39;s not just recovery from the big storm that is a big problem. The pro-statehood Governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rossello, announced just before we got there that he wanted to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/puerto-rico-prepa-2527986613.html&#34;&gt;privatize the electrical system&lt;/a&gt;, currently publicly owned, which would certainly lead to higher electrical rates for many struggling Puerto Rican consumers as the corporate buyer looks to make its profits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Then there is the relatively large Puerto Rican debt (though hugely smaller than the U.S. debt) of $73 billion. There have been calls for that debt to be forgiven, for obvious reasons. Lin-Manual Miranda, for example, creator and star of the Broadway hit &lt;em&gt;Hamilton&lt;/em&gt;, called for that in a December opinion piece in the Washington Post. He wrote:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;&#34;Puerto Rico&#39;s creditors should do the right thing and walk away. It is the only way forward. Anything short of full debt forgiveness would be a brutal form of economic punishment to a people already suffering.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;But to add insult to injury, the Republican tax bill passed at the end of 2017, unless challenged and changed, will make things even worse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;A Dec. 20 Washington Post story reported that the Puerto Rican Governor &#34;is calling on lawmakers to rewrite a key part of the tax bill that he says might cause the island&#39;s hefty manufacturing sector to contract, jeopardizing hundreds of thousands of jobs. [It] includes a new 12.5 percent tax on profits derived from intellectual property held by foreign companies—a move designed to compel those companies to move back to the U.S. The new tax &#34;is a big hit, and Puerto Rico both fiscally and economically is downtrodden, and this is the last thing they need,&#34; said Federico de Jesus, a former Puerto Rico government official who has been tracking congressional relief efforts for the island.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;U.S. citizens have a special responsibility to help Puerto Rico, which has been a colony of the U.S. since 1898. It is our humanitarian and moral responsibility, and it is our duty as citizens of the nation which has the power to help Puerto Rico either move forward or backwards after Maria. We must do what we can as far as practical hurricane recovery support but also support groups calling for a cancellation of the debt, changes to the Republican tax bill and reform of the electric power system, not its privatization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ted Glick is a former activist with the Puerto Rico Solidarity Committee in the 1970&#39;s. He was a supporter of the historic civil disobedience campaign in Vieques in the early 2000&#39;s which led to the removal of the U.S. Navy. He has been a progressive activist and organizer since 1968.

                        &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mediamatters.org/research/2018/02/12/how-broadcast-tv-networks-covered-climate-change-2017/219277&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;New analysis&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mediamatters.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Media Matters for America&lt;/a&gt; finds that, following a year of &lt;a href=&#34;https://newrepublic.com/minutes/141567/media-essentially-stopped-covering-climate-change&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;lagging coverage&lt;/a&gt; of climate change, 2017 saw network news programs scramble to report on Trump&#39;s full-scale assault on federal climate policy. The spike in coverage coincided with an increase in concern about climate change—Americans are now &lt;a href=&#34;https://ecoamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ecoamerica-american-climate-perspectives-2017-annual-summary-1.pdf#page=4&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;more worried than ever&lt;/a&gt; about the carbon crisis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What&#39;s more, the heightened awareness comes in spite of the fact that broadcasters fell short in several key areas. &#34;Even though corporate broadcast news coverage of climate change increased between 2016 and 2017, the quality of coverage remained poor across the board, primarily because the networks centered their climate coverage around Donald Trump while largely neglecting other important climate stories,&#34; said Lisa Hymas, director of climate and energy programs at Media Matters for America.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are the key takeaways from the report.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trump drove coverage of climate change in 2017.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The nation&#39;s broadcasters didn&#39;t spend a lot of time on climate change last year, but when they did, it was almost always in response to Trump. Segments that dealt with his policies or featured statements from members of his administration accounted for 79 percent of the total time given over to climate change. Roughly half of all climate segments centered on his &lt;a href=&#34;https://nexusmedianews.com/almost-everyone-opposes-trump-on-paris-video-b6351302e90d&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;decision&lt;/a&gt; to pull out of the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/paris-agreement&#34;&gt;Paris agreement&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#34;The networks paid disproportionate attention to the political spectacle Trump made of rejecting the Paris climate agreement, while they largely overlooked crucial stories like the ongoing rollback of the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/clean-power-plan&#34;&gt;Clean Power Plan&lt;/a&gt; and the role of climate change in a year of record-setting weather disasters,&#34; Hymas said.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Broadcasters gave almost no time, for example, to the impact of climate change on public health, national security, infrastructure or the economy—not to mention numerous protests against Trump&#39;s climate policies. For example, broadcasters scarcely mentioned the &lt;a href=&#34;https://nexusmedianews.com/scenes-from-the-peoples-climate-march-81064890391c&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;People&#39;s Climate March&lt;/a&gt;, which drew 200,000 people to the National Mall in April.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a year of record storms, heat waves and wildfires, networks failed to explain how climate change is fueling extreme weather.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2017 was a marquee year for climate change, as rising temperatures exacerbated &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/12/what-climate-change-did-and-didnt-have-to-do-with-the-socal-fires/547712/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;wildfires&lt;/a&gt; in California, &lt;a href=&#34;https://insideclimatenews.org/news/23062017/deadly-heat-wave-southwest-climate-change&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;heatwaves&lt;/a&gt; in the Southwest, and three &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/was-the-extreme-2017-hurricane-season-driven-by-climate-change/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;devastating hurricanes&lt;/a&gt;— &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/hurricane-harvey&#34;&gt;Harvey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/hurricane-irma&#34;&gt;Irma&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/hurricane-maria&#34;&gt;Maria&lt;/a&gt;. Last year&#39;s weather disasters were the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2018/01/08/hurricanes-wildfires-made-2017-the-most-costly-u-s-disaster-year-on-record/?utm_term=.ac7065d21cb4&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;costliest&lt;/a&gt; in U.S. history. And yet, broadcasters devoted just four segments in total to the influence of climate change on &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/extreme-weather&#34;&gt;extreme weather&lt;/a&gt;, including just two about &lt;a href=&#34;https://nexusmedianews.com/abc-and-nbc-failed-to-explain-how-climate-change-fueled-hurricane-harvey-fcdb24c0477a&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;last year&#39;s hurricanes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;90JE3W1518609801&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;1d36e&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17202818/980x.png&#34;/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is not to say the news outlets failed to cover natural disasters, just that they neglected to examine the influence of climate change. To be fair, it can take scientists weeks, months or longer to sift through the data to find the human fingerprint on a particular storm or &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/wildfires&#34;&gt;wildfire&lt;/a&gt;. But, amid a record-setting hurricane, for example, broadcasters can invite climate scientists to explain how climate change is contributing to extreme weather more generally. Per usual, PBS far outperformed its peers in this regard, while CBS came in at a distant second.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;News outlets gave an uncontested platform to climate deniers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Broadcasters gave a considerable amount of time to &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/climate-denier&#34;&gt;climate deniers&lt;/a&gt; in 2017, much of it unavoidable. The president of the U.S. has said human-caused climate change is a fiction, and reporters have to report on what he says. That doesn&#39;t mean, however, that they must do so uncritically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reporters have a responsibility to put the president&#39;s remarks in context, explaining that scientists &lt;a href=&#34;https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;overwhelmingly agree&lt;/a&gt; that humans are causing climate change. Yet, in 37 percent of segments noting Trump has called climate change a &#34;hoax,&#34; broadcasters did not challenge his claim. TV news anchors were similarly lax in pushing back on the fallacious claims of administration officials. The report highlighted this exchange between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/epa&#34;&gt;EPA&lt;/a&gt;) chief &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/scott-pruitt&#34;&gt;Scott Pruitt&lt;/a&gt; and Chuck Todd, host of Meet the Press:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More generally, journalists charged with providing an objective account of the day&#39;s news often settle for a he-said-she-said roundup of political elites. The consequence is that reports from scientists or policymakers about the severity of climate change are often paired with statements from high-profile climate deniers.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Americans are more worried than ever about climate change. Trump may have something to do with it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There&#39;s evidence the public uses the volume of coverage of a particular issue to gauge the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.utwente.nl/en/bms/communication-theories/sorted-by-cluster/Mass%20Media/Agenda-Setting_Theory/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;importance&lt;/a&gt; of that issue. And &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10584609.2012.694986&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;study&lt;/a&gt; after &lt;a href=&#34;https://web.stanford.edu/class/comm1a/readings/bennett-press-state.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;study&lt;/a&gt; after &lt;a href=&#34;http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1081180X99004003006&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;study&lt;/a&gt; has found that elites drive what news outlets cover. A &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jason_Carmichael3/publication/311446538_Elite_cues_media_coverage_and_public_concern_an_integrated_path_analysis_of_public_opinion_on_climate_change_2001-2013/links/5a4d0d81458515a6bc6dc678/Elite-cues-media-coverage-and-public-concern-an-integrated-path-analysis-of-public-opinion-on-climate-change-2001-2013.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;2016 paper&lt;/a&gt;, for example, found that &#34;opinion on climate change is &lt;em&gt;directly&lt;/em&gt; influenced by media coverage,&#34; and that &#34;the most important driver of media remains elite cues from politicians and movement actors.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump is driving TV coverage of climate change, and as a result, he is raising the profile of the issue. Last year&#39;s spike in coverage of climate change corresponded with an uptick in public concern. Worry about climate change is now at an &lt;a href=&#34;https://ecoamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ecoamerica-american-climate-perspectives-2017-annual-summary-1.pdf#page=4&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;all-time high&lt;/a&gt; across several polls.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;6JF48T1518609801&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;c1a84&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17202821/980x.png&#34;/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this way, climate change mirrors several other issues. When this particular president takes a stance—that the press can&#39;t be trusted, or that immigrants are a threat—large numbers of Americans &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/4/16408968/trump-midas-touch&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;run in the other direction&lt;/a&gt;. Just as the public has grown more concerned about the climate, it has also become more trusting of the press and more supportive of immigration.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The retreat from Trump may reflect the president&#39;s habit of playing to his base while antagonizing Democrats and independents. Persuasion is a lost art in this White House. So far, the administration&#39;s repeated attacks on &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/science/&#34;&gt;science&lt;/a&gt; and policy have pushed broadcasters to cover an issue that, until recently, they were happy to ignore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Going forward, Hymas argued, TV reporters should take their cues not just from political elites, but from the scientific community, which has made clear that climate change is an &lt;a href=&#34;http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;existential threat&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;As the climate crisis intensifies,&lt;br/&gt;the broadcast networks must report on the real-world effects of climate change and climate policies rather than treating the issue as Trump&#39;s political football,&#34; she said.&lt;/p&gt;

	By Kate Konschnik and Sarah Marie Jordaan
</p><p>
	U.S. natural gas production has boomed in the past decade, driving gas prices sharply downward. Natural gas has become a competitive choice for electricity generation, <a href="https://www.eia.gov/electricity/annual/html/epa_03_01_a.html" target="_blank">edging out coal</a>. Because gas contains <a href="https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=73&amp;t=11" target="_blank">less carbon than coal</a>, greenhouse gas emissions from power plants have dropped, and the U.S. grid has become cleaner, more efficient and more flexible. More natural gas is also entering the power sectors in <a href="https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=29592" target="_blank">Mexico</a> and <a href="https://www.neb-one.gc.ca/nrg/ntgrtd/ftr/2016/index-eng.html" target="_blank">Canada</a>.
</p><p>
	But the low-carbon profile of natural gas doesn't tell the whole story. <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/methane">Methane</a>, its primary component, is a powerful greenhouse gas. It leaks to the atmosphere from wells and <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/pipelines">pipelines</a>, contributing to <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change/">climate change</a> and reducing the climate benefit of using natural gas.

                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;
	In 2016 U.S., Canadian and Mexican leaders &lt;a href=&#34;https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/03/10/us-canada-joint-statement-climate-energy-and-arctic-leadership&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;pledged&lt;/a&gt; to reduce methane emissions from the oil and natural gas sector 40 to 45 percent below 2012 levels by 2025. Today, however, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/canadian-environmental-protection-act-registry/proposed-methane-regulations.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Canada&lt;/a&gt; is just beginning to contemplate more comprehensive regulatory limits on methane. Mexico has made only nonbinding pledges so far, and the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/trump-watch/&#34;&gt;Trump&lt;/a&gt; administration is &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/12/07/trump-will-delay-a-rule-to-limit-a-pollutant-far-worse-than-carbon/?utm_term=.85185ecdb744&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;rolling back federal methane regulation&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;6WL7TG1518591621&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;9ba03&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17202494/980x.png&#34;/&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Scientists are still working to quantify methane emissions from oil and gas production, and to improve tools for detecting and reducing methane leaks. But even though much of the science is still uncertain, and the Trump administration is retreating from regulating methane leaks, we believe it is still possible and necessary to make progress on reducing methane emissions.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Many actors—including state and provincial governments, industry, and nongovernmental organizations—are working to advance methane measurement and mitigation efforts. To be effective, they need to work in concert. In a newly published &lt;a href=&#34;https://doi.org/10.1080/14693062.2018.1427538&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;synthesis article&lt;/a&gt;, we propose a North American Methane Reduction Framework to coordinate regulations, voluntary industry actions and scientific developments in methane estimation and mitigation. This approach can bridge the divide between science and policy, and drive new research that in turn can support better policies when governments are ready to act.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Measurement Gaps and Partial Responses&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Despite huge advances, large gaps in methane emissions inventories remain. The magnitude of leaks from oil and gas infrastructure remains disputed and insufficiently measured.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Regional &lt;a href=&#34;http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.6b04303&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;studies&lt;/a&gt; have found that up to 90 percent of emissions come from a small number of sources that leak large amounts of methane into the atmosphere. Detecting and managing these &#34;super-emitters&#34; is an undeveloped area of research, but offers the potential for major reductions.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	There also are many discrepancies in how methane emissions are measured from place to place. States and provinces have inconsistent reporting requirements, applying different thresholds over which facilities must report emissions. And there are unexplained differences between facility-level estimates of methane coming out of leaky valves and pipes on one hand, and measurements of methane in the atmosphere near oil and gas facilities.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Meanwhile, mitigation work is proceeding slowly. Companies have detected and limited some methane leaks, recapturing what represents lost product. However, earnings from recovering fugitive methane are not always sufficient to justify voluntary action.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube&#34;&gt;
&lt;iframe class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;M9W6B21518591621&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; height=&#34;480&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34; src=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/embed/6QVoRZaEh98?rel=0&#34; width=&#34;100%&#34;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	This suggests a need for regulation. But the U.S. and Canadian national governments have limited authority to regulate methane leaks from oil and gas production, so states and provinces are in the driver&#39;s seat. To date, Alberta and British Columbia have set targets, but are still developing regulations. Although natural gas is produced in 32 U.S. states, only a handful require energy companies to conduct bottom-up monitoring and repair leaks. And only California conducts atmospheric monitoring statewide to track top-down methane trends. In Mexico, the regulatory framework for oil and gas is &lt;a href=&#34;http://res.dallasnews.com/interactives/border_energy/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;nascent&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Partnering to Find Solutions&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Our framework encourages cross-sector collaborations and scientific research that informs public policy. Scientists from industry, nongovernment organizations and universities can work together to share data and analyze emissions profiles at oil and gas sites, so long as their research is truly independent and peer-reviewed. State agencies can agree to harmonize reporting standards in order to facilitate research by scientists in all sectors. Companies can partner with enforcement agencies to deploy new sensors and measurement tools.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	There are precedents for this kind of collaboration. For example, an &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.edf.org/climate/methane-studies&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;innovative partnership&lt;/a&gt; between industry, academics and the nonprofit &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.edf.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Environmental Defense Fund&lt;/a&gt; has brought together researchers to collect data and conduct methane estimation and measurements. This work is designed to improve government emissions inventories and inform mitigation policies, and is distinct from advocating for specific policy outcomes.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Similar partnerships have helped to drive solutions to other problems during national leadership voids. For example, the &lt;a href=&#34;https://eiti.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative&lt;/a&gt; is a coalition of governments, companies, investors and civil society organizations that promotes standards for industry reporting of oil, gas and mining revenues. While its impacts vary from country to country, the initiative has been credited with &lt;a href=&#34;https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resourpol.2016.12.004&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;establishing transparency as an international norm&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://theconversation.com/why-isnt-australia-signing-up-to-mining-revenue-transparency-32954&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;promoting dialogue&lt;/a&gt; between governments, businesses and nongovernment organizations.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;6MMN6U1518591621&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;6e5ef&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17202497/980x.png&#34;/&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;A Continental Framework&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The challenge of driving action from below is to ensure that multiple actors align their efforts. Our article lays out a 10-step North American Methane Reduction process that is designed to jump-start this conversation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	It starts by assessing existing policies in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Next, the framework aims to iteratively improve policy decisions by continually advancing science and innovation around emissions, based on the number and age of oil and gas components; identifying and characterizing &#34;super-emitters&#34;; improving measurement and detection technologies; and finding more cost-effective mitigation strategies. This approach recognizes that policymaking cannot always wait for completion of scientific research—but it can be informed by the latest developments and can facilitate new research.

	The Trump administration has &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-energy-202/2017/12/07/the-energy-202-trump-has-backed-away-from-regulating-methane-now-industry-says-it-will-reduce-emissions-itself/5a28315030fb0469e883fa5f/?utm_term=.449431f179e0&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;slammed the brakes&lt;/a&gt; on regulating fugitive methane emissions, but it cannot wish the problem away. Beyond climate concerns, events such as the 2010 &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.aga.org/sites/default/files/legacy-assets/our-issues/safety/pipleinesafety/Technicalreports/Documents/Final%20Report%20of%20NTSB%20San%20Bruno%20Accident%20Investigation.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;pipeline explosion&lt;/a&gt; that killed eight people in San Bruno, California, and the 2015-16 &lt;a href=&#34;https://theconversation.com/californias-aliso-canyon-methane-leak-climate-disaster-or-opportunity-53198&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Aliso Canyon gas leak&lt;/a&gt; that displaced thousands of residents from the Porter Ranch neighborhood in Los Angeles, underscore the safety risks of poorly maintained oil and gas infrastructure.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Plugging methane leaks is no simple task. Management requires measurement, and this international, cross-jurisdictional challenge requires active coordination across many groups, including industry, environmental organizations, academics, national and subnational governments, and public health and safety agencies. Our framework presents a path for integrating science and policy and addressing this uncertain challenge to move North America toward a lower carbon future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed&#34;&gt;
