Cognitive Dissonance and Outright Lies at the Edge of\u00a0Extinction<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

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\u2019s, who are literally dependent on \u201cBusiness as Usual\u201d to maintain their cash flows, they ignore the elephant in the room, squandering vital time to prepare for the already unfolding\u00a0collapse.<\/a>
\nOn an individual basis the decision to deny the severity of the situation is up to each persons conscience and\/or courage to accept the predicament we find ourselves in but when it comes to research universities and their tenured scientists, governments and the large NGO\u2019s it\u2019s a \u2018Dereliction of Duty\u2019 for them not to be \u2018completely frank\u2019. That for me is abject dishonesty, especially toward the youth. I\u2019ve previously singled out Dr Michael E Mann, the corporate media\u2019s \u2018Go To Mann\u2019,\u00a0for this dishonesty.<\/a>

\nBelow I will lay out just a few examples showing that we are in the runaway phase of this extinction event.
\nThis fire season alone, \u201cAustralia\u2019s wildfires have destroyed more than a fifth of the country\u2019s forests, making the blazes \u201cglobally unprecedented\u201d following a years-long drought linked to climate change, researchers said Monday.\u201d Bushfires burned a fifth of Australia\u2019s forest:\u00a0Bushfires burned a fifth of Australia\u2019s forest: study\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 Remember this is not an El Nino year, the next El Nino, if we have one, will be brutal and will put this event on steroids. The double feedback from these fires is that the forests were formerly carbon sinks so that has been lost and all the carbon that has ben released will accentuate the predicament.<\/p>\n
