CO₂ emissions are accelerating uncontrollably with catastrophic consequences for all life on Earth.

[THREAD]
Record high emissions in 2018.

A new record predicted for 2019.

Extremely fast annual reductions in emissions must become mandatory immediately, but:

'turning the corner on emissions remains nowhere in sight' ⚠️

We need immediate #ClimateJustice.

How do we limit the damage from this cataclysm?

1. ALL PLANNED, PERMITTED AND UNDER CONSTRUCTION fossil infrastructure must be CANCELLED

2. existing power plants, cars, industry etc MUST BE CLOSED EARLY

3°C - 4°C is baked in - we've no budget left.

The world’s largest sources of freshwater will be severely depleted by 2029, with grave consequences for over 2 billion people.

[THREAD]
Timebomb:

Regions most sensitive to changes in climate include humid and wet areas, such as the Amazon, Indonesia and parts of central Africa. In some of these areas, it could take *less* than 10 years for climate change to fully impact groundwater flows.

Groundwater response times (GRT):

The map:

Yellow shows areas where groundwater is likely to fully respond to stresses in under 10 years. ⚠️

Light green shows where the response time is 10-100 years.

Dark green & blue: 100 to over 10,000 years.

Things that will be gone by 2029:

1. The Great Barrier Reef.
2. The Amazon Rainforest.
3. Arctic Ice.
4. Orangutans, Rhinos, Sea Turtles.
5. Adequate water supply.
6. Reliable food production.
7. A safe climate.
8. Human existence as we know it.

This is the real news. Isn't it?
Climate breakdown is already severe enough to kill the Great Barrier Reef. Since 2016, coral bleaching events have killed off half of the Reef, and in the next 10 years global warming will spiral out of control.

Survival would appear to be impossible now.
The Amazon Rainforest we know today will be gone and heading for total destruction. A transformation into savannah/desert looks set for between 2050 & 2150.

Models suggesting the forest could die within centuries don't take escalating fires into account.

Antarctic ice is vanishing at its fastest rate in recorded history whilst Greenland ice melt is accelerating exponentially. This will have catastrophic consequences for all life on Earth by 2029.

[THREAD]
Greenland’s ice sheet response to higher temperatures is now “nonlinear.” In the last two decades, melting rates of the ice are 33% higher than 20th century averages.

Melting is increasing *and* accelerating. 😱

Who sees this will affect humanity by 2029?e360.yale.edu/features/in-gr…
'Antarctica is becoming an increasing concern, with ice vanishing at its fastest rate in recorded history. The world’s largest expanse of ice is now losing around 219bn tonnes of ice a year'

West Antarctic ice sheet collapse would mean 3.5m sea level rise.irishtimes.com/news/environme…

The Management
@manejemenn
#Thread Questions you should be asking your financial planner / unit trust agent should be why am I paying so much fees upfront (5%?) on top of my management fee.
There are two kinds of fees investors typically pay:
(1) Upfront fees (charged one off & ranges from 1-5%)
(2) Management fee (charged annually between 1-2%)
The 3 largest unit trust companies in Malaysia are all bank owned and make up about 70% of the unit trust market overall. Fees charged by the UTs go to the distributors. These distributors are all wholly owned by the bank (parent co), or an in house agency.

#Thread #Kurukshetra #Analytics #Mahabharata
Started a fun project of mine today. Recording the duels of Kurukshetra war in an excel sheet in anticipation of some interesting pattern. Watch this space for interesting tidbits. Full exercise may take quite a while
Interesting Results! #Kurukshatra #Analytics. So many duels without a declared result on Day One
Could record two general battles and 26 duels on Day One. Only 6 of those duels ended decisively. Pandava side suffered horribly in the hands of Bhishma. Uttara killed in the hands of Shalya. Saving grace being Abhimanyu countering Bhishma and winning over Brihadbala #Kurukshetra

Values, believing, independent thinking, teamwork
@Bruno_Brunelli
India (Bhārat), aka Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya) constitutes a mosaic of paradoxes and contradictions starting with the existence of gigantic socio-economic disparities which are in sharp contrast with the spectacular technological development in most productive sectors.
Such contradictions reflect significant measurement discrepancies which, in India's case, could be on the order of hundreds of millions of people.
Furthermore, there is the problem of Islamic terrorists, who are trained abroad and find easy fuel in the contradictions within it.
Finally, there’s agriculture which, by some estimates, accounts for 90% of India’s water consumption. Farmers meet irrigation demands by indiscriminately extracting groundwater, which some say accounts for a quarter of the world’s groundwater usage.

It seems I hit my #THREAD limit, so here's a new one continuing details on the first witness in the #NXIVM trial of Keith Raniere.
The student application was denied and the witness moved to London and got a job with Goldman Sachs. She started running with a club there and got a boyfriend. She was still checking in with Bronfman and Raniere daily on her weight.
The witness returned to New York for V-Week again in 2011 and says she was doing very well with her running. She thought she could become an elite athlete and Raniere offered to coach and train her in running. She had never seen him run.

Gli esperti lo ripetono ormai da diversi anni. Con un’alimentazione sana si prevengono fattori di rischio importanti come il sovrappeso e l’obesità. Una dieta povera dal punto di vista nutrizionale, invece, può facilitare lo sviluppo di diverse neoplasie.
