Nightmare global warming of 2°C by ~2035 means

-droughts that are more than twice as severe

-desertification hitting most of the world's soil

-a huge increase in crop-destroying pests

-and a massive overall decline in the viability of food crops critical for human survival...
At 2°C (set to hit by 2029 - 2045):

'researchers predict a massive decline in the viability of food crops critical for human survival.'

e360.yale.edu/features/what_…
In fact, by 2025, as we approach or go beyond 1.5°C, around 70% of the planet's soil could already be affected by desertification.

insideclimatenews.org/news/20091020/…
⚠️ This study suggests droughts brought on/exacerbated by climate change could threaten *global food security* by as early as 2022 - 2027 at ~1.5°C:

Droughts lasting longer than 3 months will be more than twice as severe compared to the 1990-2005 period.

phys.org/news/2012-09-f…
At 2°C of global warming, pest-related yield losses from wheat, rice and maize increase by 46%, 19% and 31%, respectively, when compared to current levels of loss (nevermind unprecedented droughts and water shortages, floods, storms, etc

Insects, which are vital for pollination of crops, and plants are almost twice as likely to lose half their habitat at 2°C.

These insects that we cannot survive without are *already* vanishing.

theguardian.com/environment/20…
'climate change is expected to generate heat waves and drought that could cause crop losses in most of the world’s breadbaskets...failures could occur simultaneously'theconversation.com/what-if-severa…
Climate breakdown 'is the greatest challenge of the modern era, and to the use of our fundamental resource of soil and water for food production and security.'

'If we don’t change...then sooner or later we are going to destroy this planet.'

Arctic:

1. fastest warming place on Earth
2. warming causes extreme weather
3. extreme weather = crop failures
4. increasingly shaking agriculture in US, Canada, China, Europe & Africa
5. acceleration of droughts, heatwaves and flooding faster than most agribusiness can adapt to
A warmer Arctic: more extreme weather events such as heat waves and droughts that cause crop failures.

'disrupted jet streams contributed to the devastating forest fires in Canada in 2016, flooding across Europe in 2013 and Russia's deadly 2010 heat wave'm.dw.com/en/how-a-warme…
'A melting Arctic poses serious risks to global food security':

Unilever, Nestlé, Cargill and Monsanto are committing crimes against nature and humanity just like the fossil fuel industry. ⚠️

The Arctic:

1. 95% of old ice gone
2. ice free by 2021-2031
3. fastest warming place on Earth
4. no evidence sea ice will recover
5. melting is destabilising the planet
6. the oldest and thickest Arctic sea ice is disappearing twice as fast as ice in the rest of the Arctic Ocean
7. heatwaves 20°C more than usual
8. vast wildfires mean carbon bursts
9. permafrost collapse is irreversible
10. the last time the Arctic was ice-free in the summer, modern humans didn’t exist

slate.com/technology/201…
'Climate models predict Arctic summers will soon be ice-free - perhaps as early as 2030'

But things are worse than that..

Arctic sea ice is melting more rapidly than models can explain - an ice-free summer is likely to occur in the 2020s.

Any year now.⚠️phys.org/news/2019-11-a…

By 2026, most of humanity will:

1. live with severe water stress
2. fear unprecedented heatwaves
3. be at risk from deadly diseases
4. be affected by extreme weather
5. suffer hunger/famine/starvation
6. consider relocating due to climate

No, this couldn't be true.

Could it?
Average global temperature will have risen considerably in 7 years time - we're set to hit catastrophic 1.5C by 2026:

'The analysis assumes that little or no action is taken to reduce emissions'.

⚠️ There is no sign of even moderate action happening soon.newscientist.com/article/213073…
By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas:

who.int/news-room/fact…

4 billion living in high water stress areas by the end of the 2020s said the UN 5 years ago, but that didn't factor in abrupt warming or feedbacks. ⚠️

THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS:
1) Ambassadors of the European Climate Declaration, consisting of a global network of more than 500 knowledgeable and experienced scientists and professionals in climate and related fields, composed a letter.
2) That letter, addressed to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change stated, among other points:
"There is no climate emergency"
3) "A global network of 500 scientists and professionals has prepared this urgent message. Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific."

@DrDenaGrayson @VP @jaketapper In the U.S. at least, air pollution is down since 1992 for every single pollutant the EPA measures. And our CO2 emissions are down since the mid-1990s, yet #ClimateCatastrophists claim NONE of that improvement has slowed global, or U.S. #ClimateChange.
epa.gov/clean-air-act-…
@DrDenaGrayson @VP @jaketapper For more than forty-five years the Clean Air Act has cut pollution as the U.S. economy has grown.
Carbon dioxide is not pollution. It’s colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

@DrDenaGrayson @VP @jaketapper Watch the animated version & see how average global temperatures continually vary and move around erratically with no relationship or response to any nation’s #GlobalWarming prevention policies or actions.

Thread: Global Warming Realists Comment on D-Day (and Much More!)

1. There is a group called “Global Warming Realists” consisting of distinguished physical scientists, engineers and others who regularly combat the global warming hysteria among the Left.
2. They fully understand the science, as well as the hoax that is the “Green New Deal.” As a once-upon-a-time oceanographer myself, I am privileged to occasionally get cut in on some of their dialog. I am going to convey some poignant comments from an email string here.
3. Here is the first email:

Friends:

In this group we often have disagreements but we are united in our opposition to the AGW-scare.

Like very many people I'm alarmed at the massive threat #ClimateChange directs at the people of this planet, a threat that is already killing large numbers of the poorest. Unlike #XR I don't think this can be tackled in a single issue apolitical manner - that approach will fail
The 1st reason for failure is obvious, the capitalist economic system goes into crisis when growth falls much below 3% a year. That 3% means production will double every 24 yrs so even renewables replace 40% of fossil fuels CC gas production will rise
The second is that for many people a threat in 2050 is impossibly distant in comparison with paying the rent at the end of this week. We need a movement that addresses immediate in your face problems of low rages, high rents, racism & all oppressions

CLIMATE CHANGE? - PART 1

We all talk about the weather.

Is it colder today than usual?

Is it warmer today than this time last year? What about 1434?

"How many of us know that Chinese sea captains reported melting ice caps as far back as 1434?"
