Comments from a recent energy industry conference reveal major financiers of fossil fuels view environmental and social investing concerns as a trend to “inoculate” against but not a long-term threat to the industry.”

Afghanistan was a blistering success for them.”

“…65 SELF REINFORCING FEEDBACK LOOPS, MOST OF THEM IRREVERSIBLE…”
“In 2017 I wrote an article titled "Survivable IPCC projections based on science fiction." Guy has chimed in with the analysis below.
"Dr Matt Watson, from the school of earth Sciences at the University of Bristol (UK), made this point strongly at a recent meeting at the Royal Society in London: “Why are we doing this? Why are we doing this research? This is why, this is the latest projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the alarming thing is that these two scenarios [RCP 2.6 and RCP 4.5] both include negative emissions technology. So, there is geoengineering, of the flavour of carbon dioxide removal, in the best case scenarios.”
The IPCC gambled on fantasy technology and the lost the bet.
Quoting Chair of the IPCC Dr Rajendra Pachauri Valencia Spain, Nov 17, 2007. “If there’s no action before 2012, that’s too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment”.
Emissions have been climbing relentlessly ever since and as Guy points out feedback loops are now in the drivers seat of early stage runaway warming.
Guy's monster climate change essay, at the top of the blog at GuyMcPherson.com has 65 self reinforcing feedback loops, most of them irreversible.”

William Pettus:
“Total U.S. consumer debt hit $14 trillion in the first quarter of 2019, surpassing the roughly $13 trillion of leverage accumulated in credit cards, auto loans and mortgages and other debt back in 2008, when those souring loans and securities pegged to them helped to send global markets into a tailspin (see attached chart).”
“If history shows anything, it is that there's no better way to justify relations founded on violence, to make such relations seem moral, than by reframing them in the language of debt—above all, because it immediately makes it seem that it's the victim who's doing something wrong.”

“I think this set of living arrangements will expire within 18 months, that's two more melt seasons in the Arctic.
The methane threat, despite what the IPCC says is a very real threat.”
“In Siberia there is only the methane (ÇH4) which is going to being released in the atmosphere in the next few years. Enough to make all complex life forms go extinct.
Later there is a lot more coming from the rest of the Earth, especially from the oceans.”
“Methane release from carbonate rock formations in the Siberian permafrost area during and after the 2020 heat wave”
Comment by Hans Rotterdam: “I agree just read that there are pretty massive methane spikes coming from Limestone deposits in Siberia,I guess what bothers me personally is that there are so few people that I meet who have any semblance of an idea that we as a species are so close to phasing out of existence. If I could ask how long you think we have?”
Comment by Mike: It looks like we only have a few years to go.
