“If We Lose the Arctic We Lose the Globe” We’ve Lost the Arctic
“If We Lose the Arctic We Lose the Globe” We’ve Lost the Arctic “Changes will happen decades earlier than previously thought.” Now where have we heard that before? “More rain than snow will fall in the Arctic and this transition will occur decades earlier than previously predicted, a new study led by the University of Manitoba […]
New Climate Study Predicting More Rain Than Snow in the Arctic ‘Rings Alarm Bells’
Icebergs are shown near Ilulissat, Greenland. (Photo: Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto via Getty Images) New Climate Study Predicting More Rain Than Snow in the Arctic ‘Rings Alarm Bells’ “There are huge ramifications of these changes,” said the lead researcher, “all of which have implications on wildlife populations and human livelihoods.” Research published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications suggests rainfall will […]
To keep fossil carbon out of the air, just stop pulling it out of the Earth
To keep fossil carbon out of the air, just stop pulling it out of the Earth Rick Nease / The Detroit Free Press / MCT Expectations for the COP26 climate summit were always low. They had dimmed even further by the time the prominent climate activist Vanessa Nakate of Uganda spoke from the main stage […]
Beware: Gaia may destroy humans before we destroy the Earth
Beware: Gaia may destroy humans before we destroy the Earth Covid-19 may well have been one attempt by the Earth to protect itself. Gaia will try harder next time with something even nastier ‘I am not hopeful of a positive outcome at Cop26, knowing who is participating. I was not invited to Glasgow, though that […]
If all 2030 climate targets are met, the planet will heat by 2.7 C this century
If all 2030 climate targets are met, the planet will heat by 2.7 C this century Corals will not likely survive more than 2℃ global warming. Credit: Shutterstock If nations make good on their latest promises to reduce emissions by 2030, the planet will warm by at least 2.7℃ this century, a report by the […]
Why 4°C?
Why 4°C? Climatologists say that civilization can’t survive global warming of 4oC over the pre-industrial average. Some climatologists even say that civilization can’t survive 3oC. A temperature increase of 4oC over the pre-industrial average sounds fairly trivial so why would that cause civilization to collapse? First, for Americans, a 4.0oC temperature increase corresponds to a […]
The Scientists Are Terrified
The Scientists Are Terrified A survey of the world’s top climate researchers shows a stark finding: Most expect catastrophic levels of heating and damage soon—very soon. Photo: Fadel Senna/AFP (Getty Images) A new Nature survey shows a majority of the world’s leading climate scientists expect “catastrophic” impacts in their lifetimes driven by rising greenhouse gas emissions. Brilliant […]
Africa’s Disappearing Glaciers Signal ‘Irreversible’ Threat to Earth System: Report
Africa’s Disappearing Glaciers Signal ‘Irreversible’ Threat to Earth System: Report The authors of a U.N. report urge greater investment in climate adaptation and weather services on the continent. A new United Nations-backed report reveals the extent of Africa’s “disproportionate vulnerability” to the climate emergency, with the continent’s three glaciers expected to disappear entirely in the […]
Climate scientists: concept of net zero is a dangerous trap
Climate scientists: concept of net zero is a dangerous trap Sometimes realisation comes in a blinding flash. Blurred outlines snap into shape and suddenly it all makes sense. Underneath such revelations is typically a much slower-dawning process. Doubts at the back of the mind grow. The sense of confusion that things cannot be made to […]
A far from perfect storm
A far from perfect storm Global warming may yet prove to be the one thing which saves us from our largely misguided attempts to respond to global warming. This is because, while the crisis is real enough, the solution that we have bought into is an absolute stinker. While a great deal of corporate profit […]
Time’s Up
Time’s Up IT’S THE END OF WORLD, AND WE KNOW IT. Derek Carlisle _____ Picture six friends chatting about the environment. “There’s no such thing as global warming,” the first says. “Climate change is fake news.” “No, the planet is warming,” says another, “but in a gradual, natural cycle that’s repeated itself throughout Earth’s history. Higher temperatures […]
Cognitive Dissonance and Outright Lies at the Edge of Extinction
Cognitive Dissonance and Outright Lies at the Edge of Extinction In recent weeks and months I have been amazed at the general public and most scientists ability to ignore the blatant evidence that we are in early stage, non-linear runaway warming. From individual activists, to the donation soaked and addicted corporate NGO’s, who are literally dependent […]
Reality of Climate Change v People Believe What They Want to Believe
Reality of Climate Change v People Believe What They Want to Believe QUESTION: You have been against the global warming agenda and often say that climate responds to standard cyclical events. Do you have any examples of this? PL ANSWER: If you look at the data objectively, you will see that from the great period […]
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh XXIX
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh XXIX Tulum, Mexico (1986) Photo by author Today’s contemplation was prompted by an email my mum sent me. As she closes in on 80, I find that she’s becoming a bit more open-minded about things but remains somewhat of a skeptic when it comes to global warming/anthropogenic climate change. We periodically […]
