'the saddest thing is that most children are not even aware of the fate that awaits us. We will not understand it until it’s too late. And yet we are the lucky ones. Those who will be affected the hardest are already suffering the consequences. But their voices are not heard.

Around the year 2030...we will be in a position where we set off an irreversible chain reaction beyond human control, that will most likely lead to the end of our civilisation... unless...permanent and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society have taken place

including a reduction of CO2 emissions by at least 50%.

And please note that these calculations are depending on inventions that have not yet been invented at scale, inventions that are supposed to clear the atmosphere of astronomical amounts of carbon dioxide.

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..."

Siberian Yedoma region:

1. permafrost melt beyond control
2. self-amplifying process
3. warming now hitting 3°C to 6°C
4. major methane release inevitable
5. 40 gigaton carbon-pulse danger
6. 'the melting of Yedoma is a tipping point: once it starts, there may be no stopping it'
from July 2013:

'A large region called the Yedoma could undergo runaway decomposition once it starts to melt. This is because elevated temperatures cause microbes in the soil to decompose, which causes heat, which creates a self-amplifying process.'

theconversation.com/methane-and-th…
Analysis led by the UK's Met Office recognised the 'plausibility of catastrophic carbon releases from Arctic permafrost thawing of between 50-100 Gt this century, with a 40 Gt carbon release from the Siberian Yedoma region possible over four decades'.

Climate facts:

CO2 is not a pollutant. It‘s plant food that’s essential to all life on Earth. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth. Additional CO2 in the air promotes growth in plant biomass. It’s essential for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops.
Global warming has not increased natural disasters. There was no increase in droughts from 1900-2016.
NOAA data indicates tornado activity has been lower since the mid-80s.

1) The "Green Movement" is NOT what we think it is. This thread will explore its true origins and the people who have brought it to life.
2) There have been different forms of environmentalism for hundreds of years and there are innumerable examples from all over the world. The focus of this thread, however, is on the modern political and socio-economic version of environmentalism. britannica.com/topic/environm…
3) The Green Movement has many honest and genuine roots and was originally founded on true environmental principles, but it was essentially hijacked in the late 1960's with the formation of the Club of Rome. They decided to use it to further their political and economic plans.

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!

Some folks think I should be more positive about #NetZero2050 target. To be honest I am not. Here’s why:
❎Current UK target 80% by 2050 ❎New target is net zero by 2050 ❎Cuts are not domestic ❎Relies on failed international offsets
❎Relies on BECCS - which are massive land grab in global South ❎Doesn’t include aviation or shipping. ❎Developed countries need to be 0 emissions by 2030 not 2050.
❎Emissions are increasing not decreasing. ❎What matters is action now not 2050. ❎UK fairshare is -247% by 2030. ❎ World heading to 2c warming not 1.5c

1) @manny_ottawa I thought you would like this to use for future reference.

As Ted Turner, founder of CNN and the UN Foundation bluntly put it during an interview with Audubon magazine.

“A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.”

“Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control.” – Professor Maurice King
