Growing concern over unseasonal warm spell in Europe
Growing concern over unseasonal warm spell in Europe Warm October weather has seen many flock to the beach — such as here at Hossegor, southwestern France — but environmentalists see more evidence of climate change GAIZKA IROZ AFP Madrid (AFP) – October morning temperatures topping 30 Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) in Spain may have brought cheer to […]
Climate crisis: UN finds ‘no credible pathway to 1.5C in place’
Climate crisis: UN finds ‘no credible pathway to 1.5C in place’ Failure to cut carbon emissions means ‘rapid transformation of societies’ is only option to limit impacts, report says A firefighter sets fire to land in an attempt to prevent wildfires from spreading in Gironde, south-west France. A rise in global temperature of 1C to […]
Will global warming drive us extinct? A review of Peter Ward’s “Under a Green Sky”
Will global warming drive us extinct? A review of Peter Ward’s “Under a Green Sky” Preface. Thank goodness for world peak oil production in 2018. And peak coal in 2013. Since oil is that master resource that makes every product and activity possible, including oil itself and coal and natural gas, peak oil means peak everything. […]
Will Any Humans Become Post-Carbon?
Will Any Humans Become Post-Carbon? Probably nobody will read this because it is far too long, far too full of horrifying details, and far too realistic for most tastes. I write it anyway, to fulfill a promise I made. Photo by Roxanne Desgagnés Back in 2007 I read the book High Noon by J. F. Rischard (also available in German). Rischard’s […]
Risk of passing multiple climate tipping points escalates above 1.5°C global warming
Risk of passing multiple climate tipping points escalates above 1.5°C global warming 09/09/2022 – Multiple climate tipping points could be triggered if global temperature rises beyond 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, according to a major new analysis published in the journal Science. Even at current levels of global heating the world is already at risk of […]
As the planet warms, people are moving. Will Canada welcome them?

‘Soon the world will be unrecognisable’: is it still possible to prevent total climate meltdown?
‘Soon the world will be unrecognisable’: is it still possible to prevent total climate meltdown? Record high temperatures and extreme weather events are being recorded around the world. Photograph: Ian Logan/Getty Images Blistering heatwaves are just the start. We must accept how bad things are before we can head off global catastrophe, according to a leading […]
The Dawn of the Apocalypse
The Dawn of the Apocalypse We were warned for decades about the death march we are on because of global warming. And yet, the global ruling class continues to frog-march us towards extinction. Our Climate Future – by Mr. Fish Subscribe now The past week has seen record-breaking heat waves across Europe. Wildfires have ripped through Spain, Portugal […]
Climate Impacts From a Removal of Anthropogenic Aerosol Emissions
Climate Impacts From a Removal of Anthropogenic Aerosol Emissions Abstract Limiting global warming to 1.5 or 2.0°C requires strong mitigation of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Concurrently, emissions of anthropogenic aerosols will decline, due to coemission with GHG, and measures to improve air quality. However, the combined climate effect of GHG and aerosol emissions over […]
Fact-Check: is more than 1.5°C of global warming already locked in?
Fact-Check: is more than 1.5°C of global warming already locked in? Claim: The lag between CO₂ emissions and warming means ~0.7°C of warming is yet to come, and aerosols are masking another ~0.7°C, meaning warming of much more than 1.5°C or even 2°C is already locked in even if we stopped all emissions right now. Reality: If […]

Oil Giants admit to a 5C Temperature Increase being baked in but no one else will!
Oil Giants admit to a 5C Temperature Increase being baked in but no one else will! “Oil giants Shell and BP are planning for global temperatures to rise as much as 5°C by the middle of the century. The level is more than double the upper limit committed to by most countries in the world under the Paris […]
