All set to experience unsurvivable heat by 2030.
The Middle East and North Africa are set to become 'so hot that human habitability is compromised' at 1.5°C - 2°C of global warming.

That will occur between 2024 and 2036.

Climate breakdown will cause deadly 'summer heat waves with levels of heat and humidity that exceed what humans can survive'.

These could begin within 'as little as a few decades to strike regions of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.' news.mit.edu/2017/deadly-he…
'reasonable people now accept that Death Valley—whose later but lesser 129.2-degree mark remains unchallenged—has been reduced to sharing the record with Mitribah'

There's every reason to think the US could experience unsurvivable heat in 11 years time...

East Siberian Arctic Shelf Horror:

1. subsea permafrost
2. not included in IPCC calculations
3. 'a monster in hiding'
4. life-ending 1256 ppm threat
5. 500-5000 gigatons of methane
6. sudden release possible
6. methane plumes now bubbling up
7."we do not like what we see there"
Truly terrifying:

A 50-square-foot area of the East Siberian Sea "boiling with methane bubbles."

"This is the most powerful seep I have ever been able to observe".

"No one has ever recorded anything similar."

commondreams.org/news/2019/10/0…
From 2011

"I am concerned about this process, I am really concerned. But no-one can tell the timescale of catastrophic releases. There is a probability of future massive releases might occur within the decadal scale..."

1/ Arctic sea ice is a tipping element, right?

'an overwhelming majority of Arctic ice experts say that recent data offer powerful evidence that summer sea ice has passed a point of no return.'

2/
'Tipping point risks are now much higher than earlier estimates, while urgency relates to how fast it takes to act to reduce risk.

Nine active tipping points:

1. Arctic sea ice'

3/
'nonlinear dynamics could generate “tipping points,” or thresholds after which a system changes irreversibly. Polar sea ice is an important example, with positive ice-albedo feedback contributing to the recent decline in Arctic ice.'

‘Dead zones’ expanding rapidly in oceans as climate emergency causes unprecedented oxygen loss.

Study into issue impacting 100s of millions of people is yet another fucking ‘wake-up call’ for world leaders at COP25 who already know but don't give a fuck.independent.co.uk/environment/cl…
Just for context:

This is the story about why the Brits are called "Little Satan" or "The Old Fox" in #Iran

(Sources: URIX and NRK and my own little limited brain.)
You will not have to spend a lot of time in Iran before people tell you that it must be the British who are behind the problems in the country. Most Iranians are convinced that the UK are always up to no good. Lets have a historical look at why...
You hear a lot about the Great Satan, USA. But just as often, the Iranians suspect Little Satan to stand behind Iran's misfortunes. Because although Iran never became a British colony, the British have had their fingers in important events for a long time.

Thread 1: The Pentagon released its #IndoPacific strategy report today: It labels #China as a Revisionist Power that "it seeks #IndoPacific regional hegemony in the near-term and, ultimately global preeminence in the long-term." The official text: 👇 media.defense.gov/2019/May/31/20…
2: "China is investing in a broad range of military programs and weapons, including those designed to improve power projection; modernize its nuclear forces; and conduct increasingly complex operations in domains such as cyberspace, space, and electronic warfare operations."
3: "China is also developing a wide array of anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities, which could be used to prevent countries from operating in areas near China’s periphery, including the maritime and air domains that are open to use by all countries."

@occupiedbypak
Though #Pakistan was created on religious line, #Jinnah was most liberal Muslim who never wanted #Pakistan a religious firm!
Till 1977 , Religion was just a personal choice in #Pakistan , General #Zia not only pushed religion but also took country decades backward !
#SZAB
Zia knew he had zero support from People hence he decided to take support from Mullahs and he ensured that hardcore Islam penetrate each institution in #Pakistan including #Army & #ISI !
#Soviet invaded #Afghanistan in 1979, #Zia used this opportunity to the fullest .
#US wanted to work on Proxy war, Zia got excellent platform to build these Proxies in Madrassa's of Pakistan.
