“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.

“The very bankers who sank the banking system in 2008 were handed trillions in public largesse to cover their losses, but the system of Wall Street provision of credit to fuel capitalism was never reconsidered. As then Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner put it, ‘the US doesn’t do nationalization (of banks).’”

“FYI. Arrest Warrant issued by ICC against #Putin can be taken only as a joke. Court has no jurisdiction over the Russia or Russian allies. Second, killing of more than 130 kids in #Donbass by #Ukrainians from 2014 it is NOT a #crime, but #saving 17,000 kids from the #War zone it is a crime. #Shame on you!

WELL SAID . OUTRAGEOUS!

One problem with Republican’s wanting to defund Democrat’s Ukrainian war is that is generating checks to Democrats’ from Nazis, is that Republicans’ want to get checks from Putin.

Republican lawmakers are making a bid to challenge the federal government’s monopoly on immigration enforcement at the Supreme Court.”
