Letter To President Clinton

Extractions: Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: I am writing to urge to you to keep your pledge to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and to reject staff suggestions that you renege on that pledge. I understand that your staff have prepared several draft proposals for the U.S. position in upcoming global warming negotiations later this year in Kyoto, Japan. None of these options commit the U.S. to reduce emissions below 1990 levels, all of them postpone action to 2010 or beyond, and all of them include a "cap-busting" provision that could make even modest reductions illusory as companies continue to increase emissions beyond 1990 levels by simply paying a fee to the U.S. Treasury. As recently as this Monday, you reiterated your support for mandatory commitments to bind the U.S. to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, all of these proposals would abandon that commitment by allowing the U.S. to continue to emit greenhouse gases well above 1990 levels if costs get too high. Companies will simply sit back and pay fees to the Treasury, while the U.S. contribution to global warming continues to soar. Mr. President, I strongly urge you to reject the staff options presented to you and to insist that the U.S. make binding commitments to reduce emissions WELL below 1990 levels, to do so WELL BEFORE 2010 and to make sure that you drop any "cap-busting" escape clause that will destroy the incentives for U.S. companies to make innovations to reduce emissions.

Extractions: Source: National Climatic Data Center National Climatic Data Center researchers, using information from a variety of sources, have determined that the January "Blizzard of '96" did an estimated $2 billion in damage and killed 100 people. This is a far lower economic cost than Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and the Midwest floods during the summer of 1993. But, the death toll was higher. The damage costs included both insured and uninsured loses. Costs all use the value of the dollar at the time of the event. The complete text of the " Billion Dollar U.S. Weather Disasters 1980 - 1999 ," report is available on the Climate Center's World Wide Web site. The University Center for Atmospheric Research has state-by-state information on the costs of weather disasters in its Extreme Weather Sourcebook A USA TODAY Online Index has links to news stories the week of Jan. 6 through 10, which included the Blizzard of 1996 and two other storms.

Extractions: Grade 7 Natural Disasters Project Wind and snow make a blizzard . That's as basic as we can get. From there on, it's shades of white. Strong winds and steady snowfall make the big ones. But snow moves in strong winds even if it is not snowing, if there's enough snow on the ground and it's not too old and icy. These are ground blizzards, and sometimes they happen even with clear skies above. A blizzard is a North American name for a violent, bitterly cold wind accompanied by blowing snow whipped up from the ground. Freezing temperatures, high wind speeds, low visibility, and drifting snow create hazardous conditions. Snowstorms occur when two different fronts collide. In the winter, when a warm front moves in and meets a cold front, heavy nimbostratus clouds develop and heavy snowfall occurs. The air holds tiny water droplets. When these droplets become too large for the air to support, they fall to the Earth as rain. Snow forms when a cloud's temperature is between 10 degrees Fahrenheit and 4 degrees Fahrenheit. There are ice crystals in clouds. The tiny droplets of water freeze onto crystals, building them up. Then, they fall to the Earth as snow. When it is 39 degrees Fahrenheit on the Earth's surface, the snow will land before it melts. In order for snow to build up on the ground, it has to be much colder. According to the U.S. National Weather Service, winds of 35 mph or more and visibility of .25 miles or less are conditions that, if they endure for three hours, define a blizzard.

The most famous snowstorm in American history, the Blizzard of 1888, has acquired an almost legendary status. Although there have been many heavier snowfalls as well as significantly lower temperatures , the blizzard's combination of inclement conditions has been unmatched in 110 years. The U.S. Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm with winds of more than 35 miles an hour and snow that limits visibility to 500 feet or less. A severe blizzard is defined as having winds exceeding 45 miles an hour, visibility of a quarter mile or less, and temperatures of 10 degrees F or lower.

A severe blizzard is defined as having winds exceeding 45 miles an hour, visibility of a quarter mile or less, and temperatures of 10 degrees F or lower. Today's Weather Fact The "Great White Hurricane," as it was called, paralyzed the East Coast from the Chesapeake Bay to Maine. Telegraph and telephone wires snapped, isolating New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington for days. Two hundred ships were grounded, and at least one hundred seamen died. Fire stations were immobilized, and property loss from fire alone was estimated at $25 million. Overall, more than 400 deaths were reported. The days leading up to the blizzard were unseasonably mild, with temperatures in the 40s and 50s along the East Coast. Torrential rains began falling, and on March 12th the rain changed to heavy snow, temperatures plunged, and a ferocious wind began. The storm continued unabated for the next 36 hours. Sources vary, but National Weather service estimated that fifty inches of snow fell in Connecticut and Massachusetts and forty inches covered New York and New Jersey. Winds blew up to 48 miles an hour, creating snowdrifts forty to fifty feet high. The resulting transportation crisis led to the creation of the New York

Extractions: The Midwest was plagued with major floods in 1997 and tornadoes in 1998 and 1999. Various Orphan Grain Train divisions helped with the long-term clean up and rebuilding of areas along the Red River Valley of North Dakota and Minnesota after the "Grand Forks flood" of 1997. (A special video, As the Waters Increased documents the Orphan Grain Train response to the survivors of this flood in 1997. To order a copy of this 14-minute video, send your check or money order of $10 to Orphan Grain Train, 416 Park Avenue, Norfolk, NE 68701 and ask for a copy of the "Flood" video. You will receive it within two to four weeks from the time we receive your payment.) THANK YOU from Florence, South Dakota I wish that we had thought to videotape the whole experience because it was incredible to witness the excitement, cooperation, hard work and appreciation which took place when your huge shipment came to town. There was such thoughtfulness and respect shown for everyone who participated and also for our church building. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous about what could have happened!

Extractions: 1967 Snowstorm. Chicago (Ill.). Dept. of Streets and Sanitation. "A Program for Improving Winter Street Maintenance in the City of Chicago." 1967. Severe snowstorms are relatively frequent in Chicago compared to Miami, but infrequent compared to Buffalo and other points east. Chicago's snowstorm of the century occurred in the winter of 1967. After unseasonably warm temperatures, snow started falling at 5:02 a.m. Thursday January 26. Snow continued to fall through Friday morning for a total accumulation of 23 inches, with drifts to 6 feet. Cold weather and periodic snowfalls over the next 10 days created more havoc. Although trains continued to run, cars, buses and planes didn't. Almost all schools, offices and other work places were closed for several days. Commuters unable to reach home spent several nights camped out in downtown hotels, O'Hare International Airport and stranded cars. The Department of Streets and Sanitation, which is responsible for plowing streets, estimated that 75 million tons of snow fell on Chicago. Some of it was sent south in empty railcars as a present to Florida children who had never seen snow before. Large numbers of fatalities are relatively uncommon in winter storms, but 60 deaths were attributed to the stormmostly heart attacks from shoveling snow. 273 looters were arrested. One young girl was killed while police were shooting at looters.
