| What you learn by giving 200 Senate speeches on climate change Posted: 17 Mar 2018 05:30 AM PDT  Every week the Senate has been in session since April 2012, one lonely Democratic senator from Rhode Island, Sheldon Whitehouse, has taken to the Senate floor to speak about global warming. On March 13, Senator Whitehouse gave his 200th "It's Time to Wake Up" speech on climate change. The speech was atypical for Whitehouse, who has grown accustomed to the unsettling feeling of standing virtually alone on the Senate floor while speaking about a topic that he believes is of the utmost importance. SEE ALSO: Rex Tillerson's replacement is a nightmare for anyone who cares about climate change "It's a very hollow feeling. If you believe that this is a matter of such consequence and that it's going to hit your home state so hard that you are going to put in this kind of an effort, then to have it be in an empty chamber, it's a little disconcerting," he said in an interview, regarding most of his climate speeches. This time, though, to mark the anniversary, 19 of his Democratic colleagues joined him to discuss the issue. U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse takes part at a climate march in Washington, D.C. on April 29, 2017.Image: NurPhoto via Getty ImagesWhitehouse's speech was the culmination of years of research and determination on his part, focused on a combination of disturbing new scientific results as well as what he described in an interview as the "creepy mold growth" of dark money groups spending millions to stop climate action and convince the American public that climate science is uncertain. "The fact that stands out for me, here at number 200, is the persistent failure of Congress to even take up the issue of climate change," Whitehouse said. "One party won't even talk about it! One party is gagging America's scientists and civil servants, and striking even the term 'climate change' off government websites." "In the real world, in actual reality, we are long past any question as to the reality of climate change," Whitehouse said. "The fact of that forces us to confront the question: What stymies Congress from legislating, or even having hearings, about climate change? What impels certain executive agencies to forbid even the words?" Sheldon Whitehouse is the closest the current Senate has to former senator and vice president Al Gore. He's bookish to the point of being a geek, is obsessed with environmental issues, and is not content to just scratch the surface of a problem — he delves deep, traveling the country in order to understand the science and politics of global warming. He's also a bit quirky. For example, at the start of the interview in his office, I commented that the senator comes from a beautiful state, mentioning Rhode Island's beaches and coastal vistas. What followed was unexpected, and revealing. It made me realize the senator might not be the person you'd want to sit next to on a long distance flight, but he is definitely someone you want fighting for you in the Senate or in court, given his experience as the U.S. attorney for Rhode Island and subsequently as the state's attorney general. "We're kind of just emerging from the least beautiful season," Whitehouse said in response to my comment. "And then, yeah, we'll be through that, and we'll get into the spring and spirits rise, and then summer comes and tourists come and money flows and people are happy, and then you hit September and October which are the golden months, when it's just beyond gorgeous everywhere. And then you slide back into the darkness of winter again." Whitehouse began his weekly speeches soon after the Obama White House gave up on pushing a climate bill through Congress, despite one having already passed the House in 2009. "I think it has been an often lonely undertaking but it started at a particularly bleak period when we Democrats had walked away from the climate change issue after the House had passed Cap and Trade," he said, referring to a bill that would have put a limit on greenhouse gas emissions and allowed companies trade emissions allowances to ensure they met their obligations under the new law. "Democrats in the House had put their careers on the line to pass that bill, and the Senate and the White House completely collapsed after that. Just fell apart," he said. "You couldn't get the Obama White House to use the words climate and change in the same paragraph, and it just seemed really, really bleak," Whitehouse said. "So, I figured, let's start talking about this on a regular basis." In some ways, the senator provides a good lesson in sticking to a routine, considering he put a climate speech on his schedule every week to prevent some other issue of the moment from crowding it out. He also has the benefit of having a sharp legal mind, which will help amplify his voice as the wave of climate-related litigation builds during the next few years. Whitehouse contributed to disqualifying President Donald Trump's first nominee to lead the White House Council on Environmental Quality, Kathleen Hartnett White. His questions showed that she didn't just hold views about climate science that were outside the mainstream, but that she had no idea what her own views were. Whitehouse says he's learned a lot about the science preparing for these speeches, and also has come to investigate why the politics of this issue are so intractable. This has turned his gaze squarely on the Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United v. FEC, which allowed for unlimited corporate money and so-called "dark money" to flow into politics. "Climate failure and dark money are two sides of the same coin," Whitehouse said. Dark money is flowing to groups that promote the view that climate change is not real, and also punish Republicans that contemplate acting to reduce the severity of the problem. Despite these well-funded interest groups, though, Whitehouse is hopeful that the tide is turning on this issue. First of all, he thinks the public understands the reality of the science, which is born out in polling, though far fewer Republicans think there is a scientific consensus on global warming compared to Democrats. Second, he says the economics increasingly favor renewable energy sources, as more and more coal plants are shutting down simply because it's cheaper to use either cleaner natural gas or carbon-free renewable sources such as solar and wind power. Lastly, he said the combination of shareholder pressure and legal pressure is going to bring the fossil fuel industry to the table faster than many others think. He described oil companies as "spooked" by the reality of having to present evidence of what they knew, and when they knew it, in a courtroom, as they may have to do in several pending cases nationwide. "... Courts over and over again in our history have been places where big ideas have been thought through because the political system was incapable of dealing with them," Whitehouse said, mentioning the case in Oregon in which 21 young Americans are suing the federal government for depriving them of the right to a stable climate. Clearly, 200 speeches have not resulted in climate action at the federal level, at least not yet. But Whitehouse says his work has been successful in other ways. He compares his efforts to serving as the pilot light of an oven, keeping it ready to turn on as soon as the conditions align and "it comes time to start cooking." He said he has "very intentionally wanted to be the witness on the ground" to tell future generations exactly why Congress has not acted. In his view, it's not because of partisanship or the failure of the Democratic system, but rather special interest money flowing unfettered into campaigns, squelching any potential bipartsian compromises on climate legislation. "There's a story that needs to be told, because when some coastal farmer in Malaysia or Madagascar or Sri Lanka has lost their farm and their village has had to go and there's fighting for resources, all the things the Defense Department talks about at the policy level, all that stuff happens to somebody, to some kid, to some tribe, to some village, that stuff happens, and they're mad and they want answers," Whitehouse said. "And here we are sitting on a hill, with our lamp up to the world, and right now we are providing a disgusting example of corruption of government by a huge special interest. And we've got to be able to fix that." Whitehouse has no plans to stop the lecture series, which you can watch online via Youtube. He may lack the star power of Gore, but he's every bit as serious, knowledgeable, and determined to make a difference. So stay tuned for speech 201. Oh and also 202, 203, 204... WATCH: We could see a decline in King Penguins thanks to — you guessed it — climate change

| Stephen Hawking leaves behind 'breathtaking' final multiverse theory Posted: 18 Mar 2018 10:27 AM PDT  A final theory explaining how mankind might detect parallel universes was completed by Stephen Hawking shortly before he died, it has emerged. Colleagues have revealed the renowned theoretical physicist's final academic work was to set out the groundbreaking mathematics needed for a spacecraft to find traces of multiple big bangs. Currently being reviewed by a leading scientific journal, the paper, named A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation, may turn out to be Hawking's most important scientific legacy. The new paper is a bid to clear up an issue thrown up by Hawking's 1983 "no-boundaries" theory Credit: Barcroft Images Fellow researchers have said that if the evidence which the new theory promises had been discovered before Hawking died last week, it may have secured the Nobel Prize which had eluded him for so long. The new paper seeks to resolve an issue thrown up by Hawking's 1983 "no-boundary" theory which described how the universe burst into existence with the big bang. According to that account, the universe instantaneously expanded from a tiny point into a prototype of what we live in today, a process known as inflation. But the theory also predicted an infinite number of big bangs, each creating their own universe, a "multiverse", which presented a mathematical paradox because it is seemingly impossible to measure. Read more | Professor Stephen Hawking Carlos Frenk, professor of cosmology at Durham University, told The Sunday Times: The intriguing idea in Hawking's paper is that [the multiverse] left its imprint on the background radiation permeating our universe and we could measure it with a detector on a spaceship. "These ideas offer the breathtaking prospect of finding evidence for the existence of other universe." Professor Thomas Hertog, from KU Leuven University in Belgium, worked with Hawking on the new theory and said he met the Cambridge scientist two weeks ago to discuss its final approval. "This was Stephen: to boldly go where Star Trek fears to tread," he said. "He has often been nominated for the Nobel and should have won it. Now he never can." In quotes | Stephen Hawking Despite the hopeful promise of Hawking's final work, it also comes with the depressing prediction that, ultimately, the universe will fade into blackness as stars simply run out of energy. He died last Wednesday in Cambridge at the age of 76, having suffered from a rare form of motor neurone disease since 1964. He eventually became confined to a wheelchair and dependent on a computerised voice system for communication. His most famous popular, A Brief History of Time, was published in 1988 and sold more than 10 million copies within 20 years.

| This reunion between cat and owner might be the most heartwarming thing you'll read all day Posted: 18 Mar 2018 09:42 AM PDT  There's nothing more heartbreaking than a missing pet—but there's also nothing more heartwarming than a reunion. Get the tissues ready, this one is a doozy. Twitter user @ngvhi hopped online to share the most beautiful story about how she was reunited, five years later, with her sweet cat and first pet. Meet Panther. SEE ALSO: We're calling 'fake news' on the report that 'Black Panther' caused a surge in black cat adoptions hi I can't believe this is real because I am still in shock but my first pet ever my cat panther just came home today after going missing FIVE YEARS AGO. FIVE. YEARS. AGO. — nguhi (@ngvhi) March 16, 2018 "Sometime after Panther went missing he apparently turned up in a shelter in the next city 15 mi away," she wrote. "Days before he was going to be euthanized he was adopted! And lived with a women [sic] for a little while in yet another city." Apparently the woman who adapted Panther kept him until she couldn't any longer, and ultimately gave him to her parents—who just so happened to be @ngvhi's neighbor. So, for over a year, Panther (whose name changed to Charlie) was literally living his best indoor cat life right next door. "These happen to be the neighbors that bought a Siberian husky that quickly turned out to be too much to handle. I started taking care of him until they asked if I wanted to fully adopt him," she continued. Yep that's right, this story also involves a doggo. The neighbors took in her cat, unknowingly, and she ended up with their dog. of course I said yes which is why last year I adopted my beautiful baby boy trotsky. ALL WHILE UNBEKNOWNST TO ME MY LONG LOST CAT PANTHER WAS LIVING INDOORS. I took their dog and they took my cat. pic.twitter.com/LkkAYKb5Hi — nguhi (@ngvhi) March 17, 2018 One day, her neighbors called to ask if they had seen a missing Charlie—aka Panther. When Charlie/Panther did turn up, Trotsky the husky (which, side note, is a perfect name) didn't freak out. "HE ALREADY KNEW HIM. THEY'D LIVED TOGETHER BEFORE," @ngvhi wrote. "Our neighbors were as flabbergasted as us and insisted we keep him because he really was ours. we (I was overruled) decided to give him back since he was comfortable there and we already have a dog and cat," she tweeted. "It was heartbreaking but I can't even be sad bc today was truly surreal. They've given me permission to visit my beautiful boy whenever I'd like. How is it possible that they gave me this dog I adore and have fostered my first best friend." you know how you lose a person or pet and you wish you had one more day with them just to let them know how much you love them and how much they mean to you? I just had that day with Panther. I never would have guessed that 5 years later I'd get to kiss his little head again ❤️ pic.twitter.com/KQyEQ67QFy — nguhi (@ngvhi) March 17, 2018 "You know how you lose a person or pet and you wish you had one more day with them just to let them know how much you love them and how much they mean to you?," she wrote. "I just had that day with Panther.
