“Mass Extinction Event is Well Under Way”
Guy McPherson via Kevin Hester:
“"Despite the looming weight of evidence to suggest this grim phenomenon is unfolding all around us, not everybody agrees."
"Drastically increased rates of species extinctions and declining abundances of many animal and plant populations are well documented, yet some deny that these phenomena amount to mass extinction," says bioscientist Robert Cowie from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
"This denial is based on a highly biased assessment of the crisis which focuses on mammals and birds and ignores invertebrates, which of course constitute the great majority of biodiversity."
Unfolding now, not long off in the future.”

“Another new problem. Nuclear reactors were not made to run at low power generating loads. Now it's causing big problems.
"Attemperators are carefully selected for the expected range of process conditions. As the power generating landscape changes, however, many combined cycle plants are often required to run at very low power generation rates.
GT manufacturers continue to evolve their technology to decrease the minimum GT load range, but this has also made steam temperature control more challenging. Some GT models operate at higher temperatures during low or partial load operation, and during these times steam flows are much lower. The result is many existing attemperators being stretched beyond their capabilities."”

“Accelerating loss of global snow and ice cover (continued)
Ocean heat is at record levels. As a result, global sea ice extent was only 16.23 million km² on February 9, 2022, the third lowest extent on record. What makes this even more worrying is that we're currently in the depth of a persistent La Niña.
Ocean heat is a huge threat for Antarctica at the moment. Antarctic sea ice extent was only 2.342 million km² on February 9, 2022, a record low for the time of year.
As said, we're currently in the depth of a persistent La Niña, which suppresses temperatures. The difference between the top of El Niño and the bottom of La Niña could be more than half a degree Celsius.
Currently, the temperature rise is additionally suppressed by low sunspots. Within a few years time, sunspots can be expected to reach the peak of their current cycle and observed sunspots are looking stronger than predicted. In the image, adapted from NOAA, the solar cycle is represented as the number of sunspots and F10.7cm radio flux.
The threatening situation is that we'll go into the next El Niño, while sunspots are increasing and while the aerosol impacts may go from dimming into further driving up temperatures. A huge temperature rise could occur as the sulfates fall away that are currently co-emitted by traffic and industry, while at the same time releases of other aerosols such as black and brown carbon can increase dramatically as more wood burning and forest fires take place.
Such short-term 'natural' variability can furthermore act as a catalyst, causing numerous feedbacks to kick in with ever greater ferocity.
Such feedbacks can result in collapse of global sea ice and permafrost, resulting in the eruption of huge quantities of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, further driving up the temperature rise abruptly.
