“"Next year is expected to mark 10 consecutive years with global average temperatures at least 1 degree Celsius higher than the average during the preindustrial period. Earth’s average temperature in 2023 is forecast to be between 1.08 and 1.32 degrees Celsius higher than it was before about 1900, when humans started burning fossil fuels more ferociously."
"A degree hotter might not seem like much, especially as much of the US emerges from a [frigid winter storm]
. But that kind of change on a global scale has already triggered [catastrophic climate effects](
. Plus, it’s an average for the entire planet — some regions have been hit much harder by climate change than others." Snip

Approving willow is quite actually "overkill" in every sense of the word
“Why Biden's decision to approve Alaska's Willow oil project is so controversial”

“Revealed: 1,000 super-emitting methane leaks risk triggering climate tipping points
Vast releases of gas, along with future ‘methane bombs’, represent huge threat – but curbing emissions would rapidly reduce global heating

Petitions, phone calls, voting, protesting, etc etc do NOT work in the face of deadly greed:
“‼️ The Bureau of Land Management's recommendation to approve the Willow project, a massive oil drilling operation in Alaska, would lock in decades of climate pollution. Tell President Joe Biden and Secretary Deb Haaland it's not too late: Stop the Willow project!”

METHANE THREATENS TO CAUSE THE CLOUDS TIPPING POINT TO GET CROSSED
The first image shows NOAA globally averaged marine surface monthly mean methane data from 2016, with methane reaching 1923.57 parts per billion (ppb) in November 2022. A moving average centered over 12 months is added to highlight the acceleration in the rise in methane.
The second image shows a polynomial trend added to NOAA globally averaged marine surface monthly mean methane data from April 2018 to November 2022, pointing at 1200 ppm CO₂e (carbon dioxide equivalent) getting crossed in 2027.
The Clouds Tipping Point, at 1200 ppm CO₂e, could be crossed that on its own could result in a further rise of 8°C. As the image illustrates, this tipping point could be crossed as early as in 2027 due to forcing caused by the rise in methane alone. When forcing by further greenhouse gases is taken into account, this could happen even earlier than in 2027.
Furthermore, the upcoming temperature rise on land on the Northern Hemisphere could be so strong that it will cause much traffic, transport and industrial activity to grind to a halt, resulting in a reduction in cooling aerosols that are currently masking the full wrath of global warming.
Falling away of this aerosol masking effect could cause a potential rise of 1.9°C by 2026, while there could be an additional potential rise of 0.6°C by 2026 due to an increase in warming aerosols and gases as a result of more biomass and waste burning and forest fires.
Altogether, the rise from pre-industrial could be as high as 18.44°C. Meanwhile, humans are likely to go extinct with a rise of 3°C.
From the post 'Dire situation gets even more dire', at:”
[So Democrats got in bed with the methane industry and now as direct result of methane a-l-o-n-e CO2e is rocketing past the Cloud Tipping point and we’ve earned an additional +8C increase in temps.
+8C rise is complete obliterfuckeration. Probably down to a depth of at least the top 2 miles of the earths crust!? This is genocide.]

SCOTUS quietly and in an unofficial manner, cancelled the Clean Air act:
The military industrial congressional mainstream media complex only cares about their money machines (wars). The little people aren’t even on the radar:

The whole reason for every breath they take is to cause war. In war the rich can only win, the 99% shoulder all the costs. And with a mentally infirm president the dogs of war are running wild. Sadly I fear the world will set what Americans call a “government” is going to be brought low and nonrich Americans are going to be left with a mess if a country:
“Blinken’s trip to Kazakhstan was a fool’s errand that merely exposed the futility of U.S. efforts to practice dual containment against Russia and China as well as U.S. ignorance regarding its own policies that are driving Russia and China into a closer relationship.”

Ya know it’s weird, I ask myself, what would I do if I could get cash ANY way I want – I could steal, I can kill as many people as I want,….you name it, and then take the money and walk on my merry way. A world where every living thing is an acceptable loss for in my pursuit of a lifestyle I think I deserve because of genetics & my religion. I don’t think I’d do anything. It’s just feels wrong and foreign at a very deep, deep level. Nevertheless that is what Washington and its cabal does on a daily basis

“"CREATIVE SOCIETY" IS A CLIMATE DENIAL GROUP
How high-profile scientists felt tricked by group denying climate change
A dozen scientists, politicians, and campaigners say they have been tricked into participating in online events promoting climate-change denial.
The events were organised by the Creative Society, an international activist group that denies global warming is being caused by human activity.
The overwhelming majority of scientists agree greenhouse gases - which trap the Sun's heat - are causing a rise in global temperatures.
The IPCC says it is "unequivocal" that Climate Change is human caused”

Washington banning TikTok is, among other things, an admission that China’s BigTech is more technically sophisticated and business savy than America’s Silicon Valley (or maybe Musk’s l boobery & Zuckerberg’s failed ventures are an anomaly). And get to know the history and background of America’s so called “5G”
