- [Bushfires Raging in Spring. Something is up.](https://350.org/bushfires-raging-spring-something/) — Bushfires are raging across the state of New South Wales in Australia. It's only Spring. Something is up. Yesterday, the Greens Member of Parliament, Adam Bandt, made headlines by suggesting that climate change is connected with the deadly NSW bushfires, which are causing widespread destruction. It has been treated as if he was speaking like a radical - by the media and by deniers. But there is nothing radical about what Bandt said - it’s what the Bureau of Meteorology have said and it’s what the Firefighters Union have said when addressing Parliamentarians:
"We are asking you very clearly, stop making this a political football, put in place the action that's required to secure the future because by 2020 we are going to see a frequency like we've not seen before." -- United Firefighters Union of Australia
It’s deeply worrying that, here in Australia, the causes and impacts of climate change have remained a political football. The increasing frequency and severity of bushfires show us that we can't hide from climate change impacts - they are happening already - not just here but all over the world. From the melting of the Arctic, larger cyclones hitting the Philippines, wildfires and drought in the United States, the list goes on. We’re entering a new era of weather extremes and it has a deadly toll.  
How can any of us watch, be affected and not be frightened about what climate change means for all of us in Australia?  We can't bury our heads in the sand -- we need to face what we're up against and insist on political action to reduce our emissions and avoid further community devastation. Bushfires aren't political, but we need political action to stop them.
What can we do?
1. Talk about it! It's a real concern and we need to talk to our politicians (pick up the phone and call your MPs and Senators), your local paper or radio station, your community and neighbours. Don't let deniers stop you voicing your concerns about the climate impacts we face nor the action needed to address them! 
Suggested Tweets:

	Wildfires in October? Let's connect the dots: #climate change is driving extreme weather and wildfires. @TonyAbbottMHR @SMH @abcnews
	@SMH @abcnews We need to be talking about the link between climate change, wildfires and action to reduce emissions
	I stand with @AdamBandt and Firefighters: Message to @TonyAbbottMHR stop making #climate change a political football, make it about action.
	My sympathy goes out to all impacted by NSW bushfires. Let’s take action on #climate change seriously so fires don’t get even more wild.

2. Divest! If we are to avoid further extreme weather impacts, it’s time to take away the power of the industry that’s driving these impacts. By moving our money out of fossil fuels, we can start to erode the industry’s social license and motivate the political action our climate so desperately needs. Find out how you can start moving your money today!
It’s time to show that this isn’t just about something a Greens Parliamentarian feels strongly about, but it is an issue and a real challenge that we all face. If last summer was anything to go by, the coming summer won't be pretty - it’s time to talk and it’s time to act.
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to all those impacted by the bushfires. In writing this, we are not seeking to make your suffering a political opportunity, rather a chance to call for action so that further suffering may be avoided.
- [Cyclone Phailin and Climate Change, Connecting the Dots](https://350.org/cyclone-phailin-and-climate-change-connecting-dots/) — Crossposted with some edits from Huffington post
Over the past two days, I was glued to my television screen as one reporter after another stood in the rain and braved gusty winds to give the world a very detailed account of the cyclone Phailin that hit the eastern sea coast of India. Such reportage was unparalleled especially in comparison to the reporting around the massive super cyclone that hit the same region in 1999. 24 hour broadcasting ensured the cyclone's landfall made it to TV screens at the same instant as it ravaged through villages and towns in India.
Even with all the technology and the TRP buzz, one vital issue has remained out of discussion so far and that is the elephant in the room, Global Warming. I've been chided several times by reputed individuals in the field of science to not connect any single weather event to climate change and rightly so, it's simply not scientific to beat the climate change drum for my campaigning cause. But when these very scientists, whole 800 of them, unequivocally state that extreme weather events are on the rise and countries like India are highly vulnerable, I find it counter productive to not connect the dots from cyclone Phailin to climate change.
Let's take a brief look at the science. Cyclones are low pressure systems that form over warm tropical oceans. They derive energy from the warmer waters and do not form unless the temperatures are over 26.5 degrees C. The recorded temperature in the Bay of Bengal where Phailin developed was 28-29 degrees C with very high heat content. The sea surface temperature variations over the past few decades show an increasing trend, more particularly pronounced since 1992. Twenty-six of the thirty-five deadliest tropical cyclones in world history have been Bay of Bengal storms. During the past two centuries, 42% of Earth's tropical cyclone-associated deaths have occurred in Bangladesh, and 27% have occurred in India.
The Overseas Development Institute (ODI), an influential think tank stated in its new report titled "Geography of poverty, disasters and climate extremes in 2030" that India ranks highest in its risk to extreme weather disasters. "Over the two decades many parts of India - including Andhra Pradesh - will be increasingly exposed to disasters. The focus on how deadly disasters can be should not obscure the fact that many homes, hospitals, shops and schools will have been badly impacted in ways which will drive people into poverty", said Dr. Tom Mitchell from ODI. Climate change is as much about politics as it is about science and to act on it would require political mobilisation preceded by a greater public demand to acknowledge and act on this clear and present danger.
India's response to Phailin has been commendable. Over 800,000 people have been evacuated and the casualty rate has been remarkably low. With rapid deployment of the army, navy, coast guard and other reserve forces along with makeshift relief centres, thousands of lives have been saved. Disaster preparedness is as much about livelihoods as it is about lives and the cyclone's impact has been devastating with 9 million people affected and huge losses to crops and homes. Their rehabilitation and restoring their livelihoods is a daunting task. Phailin should therefore be another stark reminder for us think hard about climate adaptation in what is now a new normal in our planet's weather.
The Uttarakhand floods in June, Maharashtra’s drought, floods in Assam and now Phailin give a quick glimpse into the havoc climate change can play as many other disasters are awaiting India tomorrow. Ignorance and denial are not an option anymore and further inaction will come at our own peril.
350 India is organizing an online #ClimateChat on Friday, October 18th 2013 at 5 PM IST. Anyone with queries about climate change, its impacts, causes, perceptions and solutions in the Indian context can pose their questions to a reputable panel via twitter using the hashtag #climatechat. The chat will take place on Google Hangout and those interested can register here.

- [Cyclone Phailin, India's Katrina](https://350.org/cyclone-phailin-indias-katrina_2/) — A massive cyclone is about to hit the eastern sea coast of India. Cyclone Phailin is gathering intensity and is expected to pick up speeds of over 220 KMPH, which would categorize it as a 'severe' to 'super' cyclone. Over 400,000 people have been evacuated from low lying areas close to the coast and shifted to various public institutions turned into cyclone relief centers. The army, navy, air force, coast guard and other reserve forces have been mobilised to offer relief as the cyclone is expected to make landfall by 6 PM IST on October 12th. Here is a list of emergency contact numbers in the region. The cyclone is currently on par in its intensity with hurricane Katrina in 2005. 

I write this from the comforts of my home in New Delhi while hundreds of locals are refusing to leave their homes, shops and their only source of livelihood. Relief operations are in full swing but as is with many in India, there is a greater faith in god to protect them than anything else. 
Two questions that remain unanswered at this moment are a. What was the sea surface temperature that caused this cyclone? vis-a-vis the past few decades and b. What is the periodicity and intensity cycles of such cyclones? These questions are crucial to learn how the unequivocal rise in global warming is causing cyclones like Phailin. But for now, our thoughts are with those millions in the path of the cyclone's fury and hoping there is as little casualty as possible.  
We will keep this site updated with the latest on this extreme weather event.

The team there is organizing a twangout (twitter+hangout) for anybody who has questions on climate change (impacts, perceptions, solutions..) with relevant experts from the region. The call will predominantly be focused on the Indian context but anyone around the globe can join the call on October 18th, 11:30 GMT by signing up on the links below. 
Check out these recent headlines from India's leading newspapers:

	2. Despite the hiatus, Global Warming is unequivocal - The Hindu, September 30th
	3. Impact from greenhouse gases could linger for centuries - Financial Express, September 28th
All of them are speaking of the IPCC report that 800 respected scientists put together on global warming. Their verdict last week was very clear: manmade greenhouse gas emissions are the main reason behind the rising temperatures around the world. And this temperature rise, they say, will result in more extreme weather.
If you're interested in learning more about this report or climate change, join us for a chat on October 18. It will be your opportunity to have any questions answered and learn how to speak more convincingly about the climate crisis.
A few weeks back, we asked you and many others to tweet or write to Indian celebrities, asking them to connect the devastating floods in Uttarakhand to global warming. We did not hear back from them. We realized that global warming still isn't a mainstream issue in India. We have corruption, poverty, energy and other crises to deal with and we should.
But here’s the crucial challenge, as shown by a large survey done across India: people are already experiencing the severe impacts of global warming. It's making poverty and other issues worse across the country. People want the government to act, but they feel helpless. For some of us, who are privileged enough to avoid global warming's impacts a little longer, we have a responsibility to call out our leaders to act.
But the first step to that is education. We are trying to answer some of the queries that you have about climate change.
Sign up here for a lively online chat with environmental experts on October 18th at 5 PM IST. The topic is global warming but you set the agenda with your questions about the issue.

Dear friends,
An important new climate science report was just released, and the results aren’t exactly cheerful.
The new report is long and dense, so we thought we'd boil it down. Since we’re quite fond of science and numbers at 350.org -- after all, we're named after the safe level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere -- we wanted to share a few of the key numbers from the new climate report:

- [A thought on climate impacts in Bolivia](https://350.org/impact-roundabout-we-go-further-when-we-all-push-together/) — As I prepare for Climate Impacts Day tomorrow I wanted to share some insights from our friends at the Democracy Center working in Bolivia.  It reminds me of the impartance of being connected as a global movement, where ever we might be. Tomorrow lets all push together and connect the dots. Juan CarlosBolivia is on the frontline when it comes to the impacts of climate change, with floods, droughts and melting glaciers all posing threats to the lives and livelihoods of an already vulnerable population. Children and young people here face a precarious future. The Democracy Center, along with the Observatorio de Medioambiente de Tiquipaya and ROJA (Red de Organizaciones Juveniles Autonomas) carried out a filming workshop with young people in the department of Cochabamba looking at climate change from their perspective, and thinking about what needs to be done. To reinforce the message that we can move things further and faster when we work together we filmed the group pushing each other on a roundabout, starting with everyone on the roundabout and gradually getting off to help push. We took photos of the group as a 'dot' on top of the roundabout to begin, and as another 'dot' surrounding the roundabout at the end. See this video of us pushing ourselves around the climate impact dot:
