Is it possible that Hurricane Dorian was the deadliest hurricane ever?
Another 10 climate shocks:

Latest analysis showed that forest fragmention is still increasing - especially in tropical Africa.
Thread - Somalia, Mozambique, Victoria Falls:

Central Chile, where most Chileans live, is in a situation that scientists are referring to as “megadrought.”

Remember:

1. Oxygen levels are low.
2. Rainforests won't survive.
3. Arctic Ice is almost gone.
4. Corals are doomed.
5. Factory meat & dairy are deadly.
6. Overfishing is killing the Ocean.
7. Crop failure has begun.
8. Heat will kill billions.

None of this is front page news.
'The decline in ocean oxygen ranks among the most serious effects of human activities on the Earth's environment'

We must stop corporations emitting greenhouse gases & polluting.

Oh look, we can't. They're protected by 'our' governments & corporate media.independent.co.uk/environment/oc…
Models predict that 2.5°C of global warming would kill the Amazon Rainforest.

We'll hit ~2.5℃ within decades, maybe as soon as the 2040s.

Tropical forests are so fragmented now that it may even be too late to stop any of them from collapsing at 1.5°C.theconversation.com/what-climate-t…

The Global Food Crisis Is Here

It’s not just that climate change is ravaging the world’s agriculture. Agriculture is also ravaging the climate.

Ten climate shocks from 2019.
2020 is the year to inform ourselves and accept that the planet we think we're living on no longer exists.

Here is @DavidLWindt's month by month thread of insane 2019 climate news.

Please read & RT.

Tell everyone you know what is being done to the Earth.
2°C by 2036 (as suggested by Michael Mann in 2014) has been looking increasingly likely to me for some time, and a few months ago major new IPCC climate models were released suggesting 2°C was all but inevitable and that it would hit by 2040.

Calamity.

1/5—Full report coming! In meantime, remarks Re: my #Hurricane #DORIAN data:

Buildup to peak winds was gradual—even once I was in eyewall—likely because of cyclone’s slow forward motion.

Eye had bright, misty quality—I didn’t get stadium effect. Lull lasted long: ~1:05-2:30pm.
2/5—I collected data w/ 2 devices. They matched well: 913.4mb (1:50pm) & 913.7mb (1:53pm) in eye. I sadly ended data collection in eye, as I needed to relocate to safety. I believe I caught min pressure, as it was starting to edge upwards when I relocated—but can’t be sure. Grrr.
3/5—It’s clear my location was stricken by high-energy mesovortices. Couldn't see them in 100% whiteout, but that’s only explanation for crazy pressure fluctuations & also damage—i.e., car thrown from parking lot up onto lawn next to our bunker, *against* primary wind flow.

Yep, I’m alive. Made it to Nassau. #Hurricane #DORIAN: By far the most intense cyclone I’ve witnessed in 28 years of chasing. Thought I was playing it safe by riding it out in a solid-concrete school on a hill in Marsh Harbour. Thought wrong.
Winds pounded the building with the force of a thousand sledgehammers. Crept out during eye to find school mostly destroyed, cars in parking lot thrown around & mutilated. Barometer said 913.4 mb.
Frantically piled into few functioning cars (one of them mine) & relocated to government complex before backside struck. Building filled with terrorized refugees, many who had swam to safety or abandoned collapsed houses. The calm eye saved lives—gave victims chance to relocate.

Now that everyone is back at work, the conversation about Hurricane #Dorian and climate change will begin in earnest. That's fine as long as you stick to sound science.

So, what is the current "consensus" among hurricane scientists?

It's right here: gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming…
(1) It's important to point out that this 2019.

It is not the year 2100 and you should not take climate model output from 80-years in the future as the proof of a "signal" you are seeing today.

The changes in the 22nd Century are a long ways off.
(2) We have a long historical record -- going back to 1851 -- with, of course, decreasing certainty in hurricane data.

However, since the 1940s we have aircraft recon and then satellites came along in the past 50-years.

We also have good records of U.S. landfalls.

🚨HURRICANE DORIAN UPDATE 🚨

Hurricane Dorian STILL forecast to be a MAJOR HURRICANE for the east coast of the US... most likely impact area will be FLORIDA (although this can always change)

Stay tuned for updates, and PLEASE have a safety plan in place!
GOES-16 Mesoscale Floater of #HurricaneDorian as it starts churning towards #Florida. Dorian is still expected to be a MAJOR HURRICANE at landfall...

Stay tuned for updates as we get them!

Have your #SafetyPlan completed!
#Hurricane #Ready #WRN
Zoomed in look at #HurricaneDorian eye... there is a smaller inner eye, and a larger outer eye. Dorian is over very warm waters with MINIMAL wind shear, which means its likely Dorian will strengthen considerably.
