Permafrost thaw is set to trigger a vicious cycle of warming that will be impossible to stop.

wired.com/story/abrupt-p…
'Scientists specializing in the thawing of the permafrost have been warning for years that this kind of feedback loop...has not been taken into account in the comprehensive climate assessments that drive worldwide climate policies.'

insideclimatenews.org/news/19022019/…
'We can't prevent abrupt thawing of permafrost' which is happening 'much more quickly than models have predicted'. nature.com/articles/d4158…
Large releases of permafrost carbon should peak 'within a few decades'.

From 2018:

climate.nasa.gov/news/2785/unex…
And that's not to mention the potential cataclysm from seabed permafrost.

People (and don't get me wrong, I love people) generally just don't have a clue about how bad the ecological and climate catastrophe really is. Not a single fucking clue.
I didn't really have much of a clue myself 5 years ago.
I knew, but I didn't really know.
In the summer of 2017 I realised that total catastrophe was a possibility, and after a year or two on Twitter I grasped that the 2020s and 2030s would really shake us.
I remain optimistic about a positive quirk of fate leading us to degrowth economics in this decade.

We'll soon see.

The Rainforests of Africa:

🇨🇩 DR Congo
🇨🇬 Republic of the Congo
🇬🇦 Gabon
🇨🇫 Central African Republic
🇨🇲 Cameroon
🇬🇶 Equatorial Guinea

will suffer from a totally new climate of unprecedented heat from 2025 onwards, with staggering consequences for all life on Earth.
This 2013 study projects 'climate departure':

Equatorial Guinea Malabo 2024- 2030
Gabon Libreville 2024- 2028

Arctic sea ice loss is accelerating but climate models fail to take this into account properly because they don't integrate satellite observations and it's hard to find journalists or editors who care about this so most people don't know we're on course for climate hell by 2029.
The public is not being told how close we are to an almighty abrupt climate change shock.

A new thread as #COP25 begins.
I am totally fed up with the messages about 1.5C or 2 C warming
And fed up with the "Lalaland" way of thinking that "we are about to cut emissions"
So i decided to sum up the data i have..to call this BULLSHIT
It's time for all to WAKE UP

This, from @vermontgmg about communication on 9/11, is fascinating. The gulf that has been opened in under 20 years feels like 10 generations, and I kept thinking about how instantly polluted the information pool would be now. And that we've lost something wired.com/story/pagers-p…
I'm from one of the last pre-Internet generations. Email was barely a thing when I was in university. Me and @SolarNerd and @pixel_bender connected the @Ubyssey desktop computers with ethernet cables and it felt like the future. We are all now 100 years old, electronically.
I joke sometimes about cutting the undersea cables that carry the Internet with laser saws, but let's be honest: I don't know how to operate a laser saw. I'm an old man, born before the world completely changed. I guess I could Google how to use one, though.

Congratulations, Mr. President: Zuckerberg Secretly Called Trump After The Election buzzfeed.com/ryanmac/congra… by @RMac18 @cwarzel
Under-appreciated dynamic in Campaign 2016 is newly intensive direct response retailing of Trump by Parscale. Focused on donations and merch, relentlessly A/B testing with FB’s VIP access, built upon new notion of consumers literally buying into candidate Trump like a product.
Facebook being the ultimate direct response marketing machine and Trump being the ultimate direct response candidate. When politics, democracy, marketing, and entertainment collapse into a monolithic expression of consumerism.
