“CARBON DIOXIDE REACHES ANOTHER RECORD HIGH
Carbon dioxide reached 421.13 parts per million (ppm) for the week starting May 8, 2022, a new record high since measurements started at Mauna Loa, Hawaii. Very high daily levels were reached recently, as high as 422.04 ppm.
Greenhouse gas levels are even higher further north. Very high carbon dioxide levels were recorded recently at Barrow, Alaska, approaching 430 ppm.
Furthermore, very high methane levels were recorded recently at Barrow, Alaska, including many at levels well over 2000 parts per billion (ppb).

El Niños typically occur every 3 to 5 years, according to NOAA and as illustrated by the NOAA image below, so the upcoming El Niños can be expected to occur within the next few years.
We are currently in the depths of a persistent La Niña and this suppresses current temperatures.
A huge temperature rise in the Arctic looks set to unfold soon, triggered by the combined impact of an upcoming El Niño and a peak in sunspots. Sunspots are currently well above what NOAA predicted.

Additionally, greenhouse gas levels are very high over the Arctic, while the ocean heat that enters the Arctic Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean keeps rising.
As a result, several tipping points threaten to be crossed in the Arctic soon, including the latent heat tipping point and a Blue Ocean Event, starting when Arctic sea ice extent will fall below 1 million km².
As temperatures keep rising in the Arctic, changes to the Jet Stream look set to intensify, while loss of terrestrial albedo in the Arctic could equal the albedo loss resulting from sea ice decline.
Further feedbacks include permafrost degradation, both terrestrial and on the seafloor of the Arctic Ocean, which looks set to cause huge releases of greenhouse gases (particularly CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O).
𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲
This would in turn also cause more water vapor to enter the atmosphere, further speeding up the temperature rise, especially in the Arctic, where vast amounts of methane are contained in sediments at the seafloor and where there is very little hydroxyl in the air to break down the methane.
Temperatures looks set to rise further due to the falling away of sulfate aerosols, while there could be a further temperature rise due to releases of other aerosols that have a net warming impact, such as black and brown carbon, which can increase dramatically as more wood burning and forest fires take place.
As the temperature keeps rising, further self-reinforcing feedbacks will kick in with more ferocity such as an increase in water vapor globally combined with a decrease in lower clouds decks, further increasing the temperature.
Altogether, the global temperature could rise by more than 18°C above pre-industrial, as illustrated by the image on the right from the Extinction page.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻
In conclusion, temperatures could rise strongly by 2026, resulting in humans going extinct, making it in many respects rather futile to speculate about what will happen beyond 2026.
At the same time, the right thing to do is to help avoid the worst things from happening, through comprehensive and effective action as described in the Climate Plan.

Democrats brought us Trump and they are on the verge of delivering even worse in the coming farce elections (e.g. voter suppression, gerrymandering, etc.) that they could legitimatize but won’t:
“The one thing that many of you need to pause and look at, is that the “Democratic” Party was willing to hand the election to the Republican Party, rather than allow a modern day FDR type candidate, who would have defeated Trump by double digit percentages.
And to do that, they were willing to show themselves blatantly rig the primaries, and use 700 of the own insider and lobbyist “Superdelegates,” to override the votes of 8 million of their own party members.
That is not all “democratic.”

Some of the same governments are securing new oil and gas projects with the richest organisations on the planet at the same time as rivers are running dry, temperatures are continuously rising, droughts are exacerbating, ice sheets are melting, forest fires are burning unchecked and methane levels are rising unchallenged as the poles melt and the permafrost thaws.”

Void Wall St’s interests in potable water & pass the savings on to consumers coupled with publicly-held renewable-energy powered desalination stations. Dems have nothing but contempt for 99% of Americans!
Terminate the privatization of the postal service to eliminate their profit margin & pass the savings on to consumers, instead of passing profits on to rich pvt equity donors. Dems have nothing but contempt for 99% of Americans!
Nationalize the Oil & Gas industry to eliminate their profit margin and pass the savings on to consumers, instead of their passing their profits on to rich stockholders. Democrats have nothing but contempt for 99% of Americans!
Famine, pestilence, suffering the ravages of extreme weather in an increasingly feral existence: mankind is at the dawn of a Dark Age. One in which social murder & class warfare knows no bounds.
Price gouging (DemGOPs’ “inflation”) is raw class warfare
Beady-eyed anti-99% mother flunker Biden decrying racist Buffalo shooting,... ...while DemGOPs habitually demonize Chinese\Asian ancestry with oligarch approved narrative that leads to violence!?!
