🔹The ice-albedo feedback is a very strong feedback.

🔹The ice-albedo feedback is a very strong feedback.

🔹The ice-albedo feedback is a very strong feedback.
'Due to the strong positive feedback of the ice albedo, if enough ice melts, causing Earth’s surface to absorb more and more heat, then we may hit a point of no return.'

Spend some time exploring the interactive "Earth's Albedo and Global Warming"...

The Arctic's climate is unique, because it is where the planet's greatest variations occur. The Arctic also plays an important role in regulating the Earth's climate.

'other models developed independently have come to the same unsettling conclusion'
That's a genuine question by the way. It feels like I'm the only one talking about the new models. Am I crazy?

Any scientists care to comment?

Here's the above quote in full so that it makes sense:

'Professor Midgley says higher levels of warming would lead to systemic ecological simplification, a process where many "climate losers" are replaced by far fewer "climate winners."' m.phys.org/news/2018-05-b…

Planet Earth is being changed:

1. Ocean life is being destroyed
2. Ice is being melted away
3. Forests are being decimated
4. Soils are being degraded
5. Insects are being annihilated
6. Crops are being wrecked
7. Land is being turned to desert

Will media ever blame capitalism?
The only way to react positively to this terrifying cataclysm is by joining in solidarity to achieve #ClimateJustice.

This is an Ecological Emergency.

With #ICERaids looming, here are a few things everyone should know:

DO NOT:
-open your door to ICE
-sign anything
-lie to an ICE agent

DO:
-ask to see a warrant signed by a judge
-insist on your right to remain silent
-have someone document the interaction
-ask for a lawyer
If you or a loved one have a vulnerable immigration status, it's best to make a plan in case you encounter ICE.

Here are @UnitedWeDream's recommendations on how to prep:
The @ACLU has other essential information about your rights and what to expect when interacting with ICE in different settings:

Hi @Liz_Cheney, I worked at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, where I gave tours to tens of thousands of folks, introducing them to things everyone should know about the Holocaust, things you'd know if you actually visited. @AOC is right... (thread)
First, 6 million Jewish people were slaughtered out of anti-Semitic hatred, but 17 million people total were systematically murdered. This included persons with disabilities, Roma, Jehovah's Witnesses, LGBTQ folks, and other groups. Don't erase that.

(image: @HolocaustMuseum)
For several years, there was a popular exhibit at @HolocaustMuseum called “Some Were Neighbors”. It meant to highlight how the Third Reich would not have come about without the complicity of civilians. Ordinary folks. Neighbors.

It was my pleasure to beam in to the "bootcamp" of @TheBTI (where I was a senior fellow 2008-2018) to chat about climate/energy w/ their new summer fellows
It's a great gig, highly recommended to all early career ag/energy/tech/policy wonks!
This thread shares what I presented ⬇️
@TheBTI I first went over my thread from earlier this week on the latest data from @BP_plc and what it means for top-line conclusion about climate (carbon) policies:
@TheBTI @BP_plc I then went through a short talk I gave one year ago in Tokyo on Seven Things Everyone Should Know About Climate Policy

Apparently there is an anti-Waldorf school article (re: vaccines) coming out and a “Rudolf Steiner was racist!” article coming out in the Guardian & New York Magazine, respectively.
Two things everyone should know before these come out. I’ll keep it brief.
2
All current major anthroposophical medicine organizations condemn anti-vaccination stances.
So whatever the past claims or indications were, they have changed.
3
Rudolf Steiner made essentialist claims about race re: karma, destiny, and what sound like cuckoo cosmic stuff.
He also continually asserted equality of all races and ethnicities, defended women’s rights and gay rights in the early 1900s, and was killed by the proto-Nazis.

I am proud to announce that I have been certified "dangerous and unprofessional" by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and I'm pleased to say that the feeling is mutual.
To be clear: the U.S. government believes it was "dangerous and unprofessional" of me to tell the story of a single mother arbitrarily detained by #ICE with no thought for her 8-year-old son, and to request support for her from my fellow citizens.

I have a problem with this.
ADDENDUM: Author requested that #ICE contact local @AILANational chapter to "share these concerns." ICE AILA liaison called later that week to inform me that #ICE believed that I was "endangering officer safety"...

...by advocating for public to call #ICE to support a client.
