SUMMARY:Climate Change Problems and Remedies
DESCRIPTION:The Aloha Chapter met for its quarterly luncheon meeting on Fri
 day\, March 2nd\, at the Oahu Country Club\, to initiate new members and t
 o hear a presentation on climate change problems and remedies by Josh Stan
 bro\, Director of the Honolulu Office of Climate Change &amp\; Resiliency.
  Stanbro began by summarizing the 100 Resilient Cities initiative funded b
 y the Rockefeller Foundation from over 1000 worldwide applications. Honolu
 lu is one of those cities and the only one with a dedicated office for cli
 mate change and resiliency. The initiative provides partnerships and resou
 rces from sources like Microsoft\, the AIA\, the ULI\, Siemons\, and the W
 orld Wildlife Fund. The Honolulu Office is developing a climate change str
 ategy which is expected to take about a year to develop after research and
  a series of community meetings. The strategy is directed at formulating r
 esilient responses to Acute Shocks (like earthquakes and tsunamis) and Chr
 onic Stresses (like sea level rises) resulting from climate change. Accord
 ing to Stanbro\, recent worldwide extreme weather in the form of hurricane
 s\, fires\, floods and mudslides\, are brought about by\, in part\, the ro
 ughly 100 million tons of pollution discharged into earth’s relatively t
 hin atmospheric skin. Using Honolulu as an example\, Stanbro noted that th
 e city has experienced 11 days of record rainfall\, 24 days of record heat
 \, and 9 months of drought in the past year. Tradewind days have dropped f
 rom 290 to 210\, and there have been several “King Tides” about 10 inc
 hes above normal with substantial inundation of coastal areas. At this rat
 e\, Honolulu can expect a rise in sea level of about 3.2 feet over the nex
 t few years\, resulting in $13 billion in private structural damage and de
 struction. The water table will also rise. In addition\, a record 15 tropi
 cal storms narrowly missed the Hawaiian Islands this past season. The stra
 tegy upon which his office is working is expected to divide climate change
  problems into nine categories and forty-eight recommended actions.
