The Arctic has entered an unprecedented state that 'threatens global climate stability':

"There is no evidence of any recovery of the sea ice,' said Mark Serreze, director of the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center. "We are heading toward a seasonally ice-free Arctic ocean."

Arctic sea ice is melting more rapidly than models can explain.

“Losing the reflective power of Arctic sea ice will lead to warming equivalent to one trillion tons of CO2 and advance the 2ºC threshold by 25 years."

"Swathes of the world are going to be uninhabitable".

Yes, and this process is already underway.

By 2025, this will most likely have become terrifyingly clear to everyone, whether or not state-corporate media stay quiet on the reality of humid heatwaves and climate 'departure'.

1. Earth would become uninhabitable at 6°C.

2. We're currently heading towards 6°C by the end of the century.

3. The unthinkable threat grows more grave every day: humans could be extinct within decades.

4. Billions of lives are at risk, and yet this reality isn't in the news.
From 2015:

'If we follow our current, business-as-usual trajectory [representative concentration pathway (RCP) 8.5; 4.3°C rise], climate change threatens one in six species (16%).' science.sciencemag.org/content/348/62…

2019:

New climate models: 7°C by 2100 possible.vice.com/en_us/article/…
'...this civilization could lead to a catastrophic warming of 7 degrees C. by the year 2100. This is devastating news. Previously, scientists suggested the limits of humanity begin at 4 degrees C. So now we know the stakes. It is literally change or die'ecoshock.org/2019/09/7-degr…

What can we do?

Vote for decarbonisation in the 2020s (a Green New deal which sticks to the principles of Climate Justice #VoteLabour).

And then take action to push for even more.

Donald J. Trump has been in an ongoing pitched battle to communicate his plans – and his eventual successes – to Americans. Through public rallies and social media, he has managed to bypass the traditional information gatekeepers and has spoken directly to the people.
Yet, Americans are subjected to a relentless drumbeat from the Democratic Party, amplified by virtually the entire establishment press, that Trump is not only undisciplined, unfit for office and possibly racist, but that embarrassingly little has been accomplished
by the Trump administration.

🤔...Why is it the people who don’t know the military nor firearms work are so eager to project their ignorance in a public forum.

So, here’s a thread on why active military & armed citizens will be on the same side.
The oath I took: “I [my full name], having been appointed a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
“that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

Oh boy: NOAA staff were warned in Sept. 1 directive against contradicting Trump washingtonpost.com/politics/noaa-…
Nearly a week before the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration publicly backed President Trump over its own scientists, a top NOAA official warned its staff against contradicting the president.
In an agencywide directive sent Sept. 1 to National Weather Service personnel, hours after Trump asserted, with no evidence, that Alabama “would most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated,” NOAA staff were told to:

This thread is a compilation of failed or reversed environmental predictions/projections, and the motives and interests behind them. I have archived hundreds of these and will continue to add them to this thread over time.
Let's start with a senior UN environmental official who, in 1989, predicted climate change would be irreversible by 2000.
In 2010, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declared claims published in its 4th report that the Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035 are false.

There is no global warming, and it's not causing hurricanes renewamerica.com/c/20849
And as anyone could predict, the Whackadoodle Caucus is in full throat, blaming mythical global warming for an increase in the number and intensity of hurricanes. They are dead wrong on all counts.
In order to have global warming be the cause of anything, it has to be happening. But it's not. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – not part of the vast rightwing conspiracy – there has been no U.S. warming at all since 2005. None! Zip! Zero! Nada!

Up for regulation are some 2.8 million square kilometers of waters roughly 200 nautical miles from land. The area is equivalent in size to the Mediterranean Sea, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Fish stocks are not the only draw for nations interested in carving out rules for a mostly uncharted market. The Arctic Circle, according to USGS, is home to an est. 90B barrels of oil and 1.6T cubic feet of natural gas, approximately 13% of the entire planet’s energy reserves.
