“TERRIFYING ARCTIC METHANE LEVELS
A peak methane level of 3026 ppb was recorded by the MetOp-B satellite at 469 mb on December 11, 2021 am.
This follows a peak methane level of 3644 ppb recorded by the MetOp-B satellite at 367 mb on November 21, 2021, pm.
A peak methane level of 2716 ppb was recorded by the MetOp-B satellite at 586 mb on December 11, 2021, pm. This image is possibly even more terrifying than the first image, as it shows that at 586 mb, i.e. much closer to sea level, almost all methane shows up over sea, rather than over land, supporting the possibility of large methane eruptions from the seafloor, especially in the Arctic.
Also, the image was recorded later than the first image (with the 3026 ppb peak), indicating that even more methane may be on the way. This appears to be confirmed by the Copernicus forecast for December 12, 2021, 03 UTC, as illustrated by the third image, which shows methane at 500 hPa (equivalent to 500 mb).
Furthermore, very high methane levels have recently shown up over Barrow, Alaska, and carbon dioxide levels have also been very high recently at Barrow, Alaska.”

Major Disaster is Unfolding in the Cryosphere, and at Both Poles
The #Arctic is thinning relentlessly and increasingly showing signs of what ice expert, Jason Box, calls "dark snow." This is a deadly ice-albedo feedback.
Massive holes in the sea ice are opening in #Antarctica. Pine and #Thwaites, known as the "Doomsday glacier," are the ones to watch. Ice is thinning in these areas. If you zoom in on NASA Worldview you can find holes. Bellingshausen sea ice is mainly gone. Scientists warn that the Doomsday glacier may collapse in less than 5 years, adding 10 feet of sea level rise (SLR).
It’s a strange thing. In the dead of the subzero Antarctic winter, when the oceans at the bottom of the world are frozen over, that scientists have begun to observe these massive holes the size of South Carolina or larger opening up in the sea ice since 2016 and earlier.
Now, scientists have a good grasp of why such great holes, known as polynyas (Russian for "hole in the ice"), form. The water under the glaciers is too hot, due to anthropogenic climate change. The glaciers are being melted from above and below. New science shows how the ocean under the ice gets mixed up, like a bartender shaking up a cocktail, when it's too hot.
That dooms great swaths of ice. And there's growing evidence that these striking bouts of warming are happening more often.
Worse still, this is not a gradual event. The gaping holes form rapidly, without notice. Suddenly a hole appears in the floating ice. This is what abrupt change looks like.

Nor do they have the time and energy to conduct the research needed to fully understand the political and legal systems of which they are bound. For this reason, they go about their daily routines with blind faith in the structures of society, its rules of law and the values upon which they are founded, never giving a thought to how these laws were created and who they are meant to serve.
When people are driven to break these laws, the assume the infractions are caused by their own failings. It doesn’t occur to them that society itself has been structured to favor a capital class and, as a result, has placed them under conditions where they must make unreasonable life choices in order to survive. The dominant social narratives cause them to believe that their hardships must be entirely of their own making, that they are to blame, even though their conditions could have been avoided had they been lucky enough to live in a more humane society.

THE CLIMATIC EFFECTS OF A NUCLEAR WINTER ON A WARMING EARTH - by Andrew Glikson
The Cretaceous-Paleocene boundary (~66 million years-ago) asteroid impact, described in 1980 by Alvarez et al., caused enough dust and debris to cloud large parts of planet and result in the mass extinction of some 80% of all species of animals.
When Turco et al. (1983) and Carl Sagan (1983) warned the world about the climatic effects of a nuclear war, they pointed out that the amount of carbon stored in a large city was sufficient to release enough aerosols (smoke, soot and dust) to block sunlight over large regions, leading to a widespread failure of crops and thereby extensive starvation.
Current nuclear arsenals by the United States and Russia could inject 150 Teragram (Tg) (10⁹ kilogram) of soot from fires ignited by nuclear explosions into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (Coupe et al., 2019), lasting for a period of 10 years or longer, followed by a period of intense radioactive radiation over large areas. Even a “limited” nuclear war, such as between India and Pakistan, would release enough aerosols to affect large regions, killing millions or billions through starvation. As stated by Robock et al., 2007): “The casualties from the direct effects of blast, radioactivity, and fires resulting from the massive use of nuclear weapons by the superpowers would be so catastrophic … the ensuing nuclear winter would produce famine for billions of people far from the target zones”.
By 2021, with a global arsenal of ~13.000 nuclear warheads, 90 percent of which held by Russia and the US, regional conflicts such as in the Ukraine and Taiwan threaten to spill world-wide. As the clock of the atomic scientists is set at 100 seconds to doomsday, the rising probability of an intended or inadvertent nuclear war, in the background of rising global warming, indicate an hour of truth for the species―a choice between the defence of life on Earth and global suicide.
While the inhabitants of the planet are preoccupied with the 24 hours news cycle, media hype, superlatives, a deadly Virus, economic issues and sport games, the hair-trigger nuclear gun loaded by the powers to be, east and west, are threatening all life on Earth.
When Sagan and colleagues published their observations of a nuclear winter scenario as a warning to humanity, Sagan was painted as an “alarmist” by many, facing extensive criticism not just from pro-nuclear conservatives but also from scientists who resented him for leveraging his personal fame for advocating what some regarded as political views. A similar situation occurs nowadays with regard to the accelerating global warming and the nuclear threat, as confirmed by the warning by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

“An Abyss of Human Wickedness, You Can’t Get Much Worse Than Threatening Nuclear War”
“Val Eisman
Excerpt:
"As the West worked itself into a lather in the last month over Russia moving its troops within its own borders, one GOP senator, Roger Wicker of Mississippi bellowed on December 8 that the U.S. should attack Russia with nuclear weapons. This horrifying threat to end human life on the planet comes from someone of no little puissance, as others quickly noted. Wicker sits on the armed services committee. So he communes regularly with Pentagon bigwigs, many of whom are said to have little regard for presidential professions of concern for posterity and promises never to explode the nuclear devices that would eliminate that posterity once and for all. One must assume when someone of Wicker’s exalted position speaks, he speaks not only for himself.
Fortunately, the five most impressively nuclear-armed nations moved quickly to throw cold water on those who advocate an atomic apocalypse, and that included drenching senator Wicker. China, Russia, France, the U.K. and the United States issued a joint statement on January 3 that avoiding nuclear war is a paramount goal. “We affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,” agreed the five countries. “We each intend to maintain and further strengthen our national measures to prevent unauthorized or unintended use of nuclear weapons.” The statement also calls for progress on disarmament. It could not be more apposite.
That’s because the Western Russophobic propaganda machine – the biggest and most deafening of its kind in world history, cranked up to full volume at all corporate news outlets, drowning the world in cuckoo-bird ravings about treacherous Slavs – now would have us believe that the Russians are planning false flag attacks in Ukraine. False flags are pretty much a U.S. military/media specialty, in fact, Washington owns the patent on them, but most U.S. Americans, blissfully ignorant of this fact, are thus easy marks for such hysteria. So now, this rubbish, regurgitated by credulous newspaper scribes and repeated by government officials, screams at us daily from the headlines. There is practically nothing, zilch, to counter it. The most preposterous prevarications abound (vide Ukraine’s president, in November, breathlessly announcing that Moscow intended to overthrow him “next week”). Among these fabrications lurk tales about Washington’s and NATO’s supposedly benign and even altruistic motives.
For what the U.S. is doing in Ukraine and Eastern Europe is one step removed from nuclear brinksmanship. NATO’s existence rests partially on the lie of post-Soviet Russian military aggression (which the West does its darnedest constantly to provoke). Therefore, NATO claims its own aggressions are all defensive. They are not. Were Ukraine to join NATO, the only historical parallel would have been Mexico uniting with the Warsaw Pact. Had such ever occurred, the U.S. would have launched nuclear missiles – as it came close to doing during the Cuban missile crisis, which is perhaps a more accurate comparison. Washington didn’t want nukes in Cuba, just as Moscow doesn’t want nukes on its borders or other NATO weapons. Russia has thus demanded that NATO foreswear absorbing Ukraine. This is reasonable, rational and sane. NATO refuses. Such pig-headed belligerence speaks for itself."

The October 2021 temperature anomaly shows that the Arctic is heating up enormously, with anomalies up to 9.1°C (first image).
The second image shows anomalies from 1900-1920. Globally, the temperature over the past century, i.e. from 1920 to 2020, has risen by 1.3°C. When adjusting data to reflect a pre-industrial base, ocean air (2m) temperatures and higher polar anomalies, temperatures may have crossed 2°C long ago.
The third image shows two trends, based on NASA 1880-October 2021 data, adjusted to reflect a pre-industrial base, ocean air (2m) temperatures and higher polar anomalies. The linear trend (green) misses the point that the temperature rise is accelerating. The polynomial trend (black) shows the potential for 3°C to be crossed by 2026.
Acceleration of the temperature rise may speed up further soon, for reasons including aerosols, sunspots and El Niño, further decline of Arctic snow and ice, seafloor methane and more.
There could be a rise from pre-industrial of more than 18°C by end 2026.”
