The next 30 years of heating are locked in.
And we would do well to think of Washington’s Environmental Holocaust not only in terms of only higher temperatures and sea levels. For instance, volcanic activity, famine, mass death, diseases, etc. AND WASHINGTON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT ALL

“‘Green growth’ doesn’t exist – less of everything is the only way to avert catastrophe”
“The only way for us to survive is our governments finally admitting that "economic 'growth' via 3-4 billion purely systemic and/or redundant, non-contributing #bullshitjobs" was the opposite of an economy and destroyed our biosphere and millions of lives.
And it's mostly "less of nonsense employment" not necessarily "less of everything". If we act now, and manage to prevent total environmental collapse, we can still preserve our standard of living. Just without systemic traffic and infrastructure that never contributed anything to society.”

“Sources of Arctic Methane | Igor Semiletov | Unseen footage of methane plumes from 2020 voyage | pt1”
“Karina scherenberg
"Lots of helpful info. in this Nick Breeze video which I had to re-listen a few times in order not to miss anything coming from Igor Semiletov, who along with Natalia Shakhova and colleagues have spent more than 20 years conducting field research and gathering extensive methane data in the ESAS. It’s great to see more international interest and collaboration particularly with this recent scientific expedition in late 2020 that included 69 scientists from 10 countries. Their work (along with the work of their international collaborators) has been published in peer reviewed journals and more is coming! To understand basics, for me it was helpful to read "Understanding the Permafrost–Hydrate System and Associated Methane Releases in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf".
Quoting from video: “Semiletov defines 2 different scales of seep sites where methane is visibly seen reaching the surface”…...”we already mapped more than 2000 large seeps and mega seeps”…”Large seeps we mean bubbling methane in release areas with a horizontal scale in 100’s of meters and mega seeps......"its a thousand meters plus".
“but what we can do, we just detect what we can see beneath the vessel; its just a tiny fraction of what we found so what my grandmother told me if you saw 1 mouse in your house it means 100’s of them so I think that if we detected more than 2000 that means hundred thousands of seepage areas”.
“We have revisited several mega seeps and we have found that all revisited mega-seeps, they are growing”…. “and some of them”…...“3, 4 times during 5 years I mean increasing horizontal scale”.”

“A "Life Economy" starts with a monetary system that is not deliberately impoverishing the world and that's not forcing us to "earn" _numbers_ by doing nonsense.
A "Life Economy" starts with acknowledging that central banks, "economists" and our governments are still selling us the same financial eco- and genocide that fucked up banking families implemented in fucking 1830.
A "Life Economy" starts with realizing that the resulting 3-4 billion #bullshitjobs destroyed our entire biosphere while contributing nothing to society. They need to go. It might seem radical but nobody is going to miss "marketing" nor "tax accounting".
A "Life Economy" starts with switching to non-negative-sum currencies and a #basicincome. So we can finally cooperate instead of wasting our entire fucking lives doing horse shit no sane civilization would even consider.
"I take heart in the knowledge that for most of human history our ancestors created social-governmental-economic systems that focused on long-term benefits for people and nature and were themselves renewable resources.
The Indigenous people who still live that way were and are urging us to transform the Death Economy into one that cleans up pollution, regenerates destroyed ecosystems, recycles, and creates technologies that restore resources and that benefit, rather than ravage, the environment - a Life Economy." -- John Perkins”

“Definitely don’t expect schools to do so.
“Today, school children are engulfed by corporate apps and software, textbooks biased toward the corporate definitions of an economy, and myths about "free markets." For years free school materials and videos produced or sponsored by business groups, including the coal and nuclear industries, have flooded elementary classes. Our report: Hucksters in the Classroom: A Review of Industry Propaganda in Schools by Sheila Harty (1979), documented this mercantile assault on education. Students even take tests designed by corporate institutions.””

“"POST GLACIAL REBOUND"
As the the ice melts, its weight decreases which causes the earth's crust to rise (aka isostatic rebound). What the model makers forgot is that the rising crust tips more and more water in to the oceans. It is another example of amplification causing acceleration.

The scientific community is not the only one feeling the reverberations of these findings. Even if a centimeter feels small, 20 percent more water flowing out of the ice sheet over the next eight decades could alter coastal climates and weather patterns.”
