“'We're looking at Billions of People not being able to Survive' | Peter Carter, Expert IPCC Review”
“Peter Carter, M.D. and Roger Hallam discuss the science and ethics with regards to climate emergency for all of us struggling to understand what's actually going on, what needs to happen and what we need to do. (abridged version, full discussion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3DHJa-IH3I
Every month now records and disasters are happening and we don't have the time to sit around and pretend it's all going to go away – because it's not and Peter’s mission now is to spread the full terrible truth about the extreme risks and magnitude of the global climate and ocean disruption emergency.”

If you think Washington plays fast and loose in how they calculate unemployment and inflation statistics, you should know that it pales in comparison with their calculating how many degrees Celsius the average global temperature has risen above pre-industrial levels.
And, yea, if COVID didn’t make it clear Washington is more than willing to let us suffer and die:
+2 degrees C crossed
“It’s time to stop denying how precarious the situation is. It was already more than +1.5 C above pre-industrial when the Paris Agreement was reached. Meanwhile, we have also crossed +2 C. The temperature rise looks set to rapidly drive humans and eventually most if not all species on Earth into extinction. Yet, our politicians still refuse to act!” Analysis by Sam Carana for Arctic-news blogspot.com
[Is it a coincidence\conspiracy theory that, knowing the planet is doomed, Washington has given money to the super rich Bezos and Musk so they can go someplace else?]

“Crushing climate impacts to hit sooner than feared: Draft UN report”
“This is so sad . We are leaving a legacy of suffering for our children where they will struggle just to survive . So many believe they are entitled to lead lives of extreme comfort . They believe that their hard work and education entitles them to the resources of others who are less fortunate . They are not just taking the resources from people alive today , but from the next generation too . We are using up all of Earths resources in one go .
Excerpts…
Climate change will fundamentally reshape life on Earth in the coming decades, even if humans can tame planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, according to a landmark draft report from the UN's climate science advisers obtained by Agence France-Presse.
Species extinction, more widespread disease, unliveable heat, ecosystem collapse, cities menaced by rising seas - these and other devastating climate impacts are accelerating and bound to become painfully obvious before a child born today turns 30.
The choices societies make now will determine whether our species thrives or simply survives as the 21st century unfolds, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says in a draft report seen exclusively by AFP.

'The climate change runaway chain reaction-like process' - by Andrew Glikson
“The climate change runaway chain reaction-like process Amplifying feedbacks leading to accelerated planetary temperatures”
“The paleoclimate record shouts to us that, far from being self-stabilizing, the Earth's climate
system is an ornery beast which overreacts even to small nudges” (Wally Broecker)
“The speed at which the current extinction is evolving and the size of the temperature rise that has already occurred and looks set to continue is unprecedented in the geological record.”
“Many climate change models, including by the IPCC, appear to minimize or even neglect the amplifying feedbacks of global warming, which are pushing temperatures upward in a runaway chain reaction-like process.
A runaway climate chain reaction-like process triggered by release of methane is believed to have occurred during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM), about 55 million years ago.
Analogies between Anthropocene climate change and major geological climate events reveal the rate of current rise in greenhouse gas levels and temperatures as compared to major geological warming events is alarming.
To date potential attempts toward climate mitigation and adaptation have failed. There is a heavy price in communicating distressing projections, Cassandra-like, where climate scientists have been threatened, penalized or dismissed, including from major institutions.
The triggering of a mass extinction event by the activity of organisms is not unique to the Anthropocene. The end Permian mass extinction, the greatest calamity for life in geologic history, is marked in marine carbonates by a negative δ¹³C shift attributed to oceanic anoxia and the emission of methane (CH₄) and hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) related to the activity of methanogenic algae (“purple” and “green” bacteria). As a corollary anthropogenic climate change constitutes a geological/biological process where the originating species (Homo sapiens) has not to date discovered an effective method of controlling the calamitous processes it has triggered.
