As bad a situation as the IPCC reports, bear in mind that the IPCC is actually distorting the result to make it seem rosey!:
“Beyond Code RED : IPCC 2022”
Kirk Brent Norring:
“It really depends on the date that you start from if you want to know how much the Earth has warmed. For example if you go way back to when the Industrial Age began in 1750 then the world has warmed up 2.3°C. What the IPCC doe is they keep shifting the baseline.
This is like measuring a person's height. If you start at the ground then the person's height is the correct height but if you start at the ankles of the knees or the waist then the height will always be wrong.”

“What the IPCC impacts report is hiding”
Full Text:
“The IPCC keeps hiding how much the temperature could already have risen and could rise over the next few years, the associated dangers, and the policies that could most effectively improve the situation.
1. Hiding the potential rise that has already unfolded
One of the first issues that springs to mind is the IPCC's use of 1850-1900 as a baseline, which isn't pre-industrial as the Paris Agreement called for.
The map shows a January 2022 temperature rise of 1.31°C versus 1885-1915. As the box underneath indicates, a further 0.1°C could be added for ocean air temperatures and another 0.1° for higher polar anomalies. When calculating the temperature rise from pre-industrial, a further 0.79°C could be added for the period from 3480 BC to 1900, resulting in a total temperature rise from pre-industrial to January 2022 of 2.3°C.
2. Hiding the potential rise to come
While a huge temperature rise has already unfolded, the rise is accelerating. In other words, an even larger temperature rise threatens to unfold soon, i.e. this could happen over the course of at few years, as illustrated by the stacked bar in the first image.
3. Hiding the largest dangers
The rise that has already unfolded, i.e. the rise from pre-industrial to 2020, could be as much as 2.3°C. Furthermore, the temperature rise is accelerating. In other words, Earth is already in the danger zone and the question remains what the implications are of a 3°C, 4°C and 5°C rise.
What would be the impact of a 3°C, a 4°C, or a 5°C rise?
At a 3°C rise, humans will likely go extinct, as habitat for humans (and many other species) will disappear. Such a rise will cause a rapid decline of the snow and ice cover around the globe, in turn making that less sunlight gets reflected back into space.
Associated changes include the jet stream getting further out of shape, resulting in more extreme weather events such as droughts, heatwaves and firestorms. Changes to the jet stream will also contribute to a further strengthening of storms, which threatens to at times push large amounts of hot, salty water into the Arctic Ocean, triggering eruptions of more and more seafloor methane.
From a 4°C rise, Earth will experience a moist-greenhouse scenario. As the temperature rise gains further momentum, runaway heating may well turn Earth into a lifeless planet, a danger that was discussed in this 2013 post, warning that, without anything stopping the rise, it will continue to eventually destroy the ozone layer and the ice caps, while the oceans would be evaporating into the atmosphere's upper stratosphere and eventually disappear into space.
At 5°C rise, most life on Earth will have gone extinct. A 2018 study by Strona & Bradshaw indicates that most life on Earth will disappear with a 5°C rise. As the temperature keeps rising, chances are that all life on Earth will go extinct, as Earth would be left with no ozone layer to protect life from deadly UV-radiation. Furthermore, Earth would no longer have water, an essential building block of life. Soil moisture, groundwater and water in oceans would evaporate and eventually disappear into space.
A rise of more than 5°C could happen within a decade, possibly by 2026. Humans will likely go extinct with a 3°C rise and most life on Earth will disappear with a 5°C rise. In the light of this, we should act with integrity.
4. Hiding the very policies that can most effectively improve the situation
The IPCC creates a perception that pollution can continue for decades to come. The IPCC does so by downplaying the size of the temperature rise and the threat of a huge rise within years. The IPCC promotes the idea that there was a “carbon budget” to be divided among polluters that would enable polluters to keep polluting for decades to come. Most importantly, the IPCC has once more failed to do what the Paris Agreement calls for, i.e. for the IPCC to specify the pathways that can best improve the situation, specifically the policies that are needed to facilitate a better future.
The speed at which a huge temperature rise can unfold makes that many adaption efforts could be wasted or even counter-productive. A 2021 report by Neta Crawford estimates the budgetary costs and future obligations of the post-9/11 wars at about $8 trillion in 2021 dollars. Much of that money was spent on securing the supply and transport of fossil fuel. Governments spend $1.8tn a year on subsidies that harm the environment, a study by Doug Koplow et al. finds.
Perverse subsidies are even higher when also including money that now goes into constructing transport infrastructure such as roads, highways, tunnels, bridges, railways, airports, etc. Redirecting such funding could enable more people to work from home with time to spare and gardens to grow their own food, instead of commuting to work by car over roads.
Electric VTOL air taxis can replace a huge part of the traffic that now demands expensive infrastructure such as roads, railways including service stations, parking buildings and strips, bridges, tunnels, etc. Air taxis can facilitate a dramatic reduction in the need for traffic infrastructure, which also includes space now used for garages and parking.
If much of this traffic instead takes place by air taxis, then urban design can have more space for outdoor dining, parks, markets, tree-lined footpaths, bike-tracks, etc.
Furthermore, drones could be used for transport and delivery of cargo, pharmaceuticals, etc. In many places, cities can become more compact and buildings can be put closer together, thus reducing overall cost and enabling people to reach destinations quicker, either by walking or cycling. Air taxis can bring people to many destinations fast, while people can also using online facilities to further reduce the need for transport and travel infrastructure.
In other places, the space now used for roads and parking could instead be used to create urban forests, to extend gardens and to create community gardens and markets where people can get locally-produced vegan-organic foo such as fruit and vegetables.
Much additional infrastructure can also change, such as traffic lights and road signs, streetlights and the electricity grid. Supply of natural gas could be replaced by electric devices such as heat-pumps, induction-cookers and electric water-heaters. Organic waste can be pyrolysed with the resulting biochar added to the soil.”

Trump was one of many Politicians that set the stage for Russia's attack on Ukraine. He did it by threatening Russia on many fronts & acting to hurt their economy.
President Trump, who rightfully said good relations with Russia are important, but then did the opposite, expanded NATO, increased its budget, when it already outspent Russia 13 to 1, imposed harsh sanctions on Russia, and tore up arms control treaties that reduced the threat of Nuclear War. Despite this Corporate Democrats still pushed the false RussiaGate narrative while backing Trump's harsh policies on Russia that inflamed tensions & restarted the Cold War.
In 2017 U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders & Senator Rand Paul were the only two to vote against harsh sanctions on Russia & Iran. Sanctions themselves are an act of war...

The answer is that Clinton and the neocons wanted to provoke Russia. They wanted to destabilize Eastern Europe. This is a regime change war on a global scale.

Oligarch Charles Koch’s billions in action against mankind – he is untouchable:
“Supreme Court Considers Limiting E.P.A.’s Ability to Address Climate Change
Members of the court’s conservative majority voiced skepticism that Congress had authorized the agency to decide what they said were major political and economic questions.”
Val Eisman:
"The long-predicted effects of climate change are now hard upon us, and they will only get worse unless we take sweeping action. But it’s not just the atmospheric window that’s closing. The political portal is as well — and not just for this year but for the next several. That means Democrats must move with dispatch to pass the climate provisions of the Build Back Better legislation.
Several coalescing probabilities make congressional action in the next few months the best, and perhaps last, chance for timely action. On Feb. 28, the US Supreme Court heard arguments in a lawsuit intended to block the federal government’s ability to take strong regulatory action to curb greenhouse gas emissions. That was the approach President Obama settled on in the face of Congress’s disinclination to act in a meaningful way on global warming. But Obama’s [Clean Power Plan]
soon ran into legal problems, with the [Supreme Court freezing it]
while a challenge to its legal grounding played out in court. Donald Trump then gutted Obama’s regulatory effort, only to see his own do-little-or-nothing rule thrown out by the US Appeals Court for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The Biden administration has signaled it intends to return to an Obama-like approach by using the [Environmental Protection Agency]
‘s regulatory power to crack down on energy-sector emissions, but has yet to detail its plan. Despite the lack of a currently relevant justiciable policy, however, the [Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of the D.C. Appeals Court’s ruling]
The fact that the high court opted to hear this case before President Biden has a set of rules in the game suggests that its conservative majority is intent on preemptively closing that regulatory avenue. That would be in keeping with those justices’ clear skepticism about administrative authority based on a broad interpretation of statute. If so, the EPA would see its power to require sector-wide greenhouse-gas reductions [severely curtailed.]
"The growing climate emergency is too urgent to let this opportunity slip. There is now widespread recognition that the effects of climate change have arrived. A new [United Nations report on climate change]
makes clear that, without dramatic action, things will become much worse in the years ahead.
The need to regroup and refocus [is now sinking in among some progressives]
, who have previously been reluctant to sacrifice cherished domestic priorities to political reality. Notably, US Representative [Pramila Jayapal]
, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said at the end of January that progressives were willing to narrow down the bill in order to win the support of Manchin.
That doesn’t mean that every non-climate piece of Build Back Better must be nixed. But as Jayapal [acknowledged]
to Politico, it does means that things like the child tax credit and paid family leave are very unlikely to make the cut. That could still leave room for action on other aspects, though Manchin [has clearly grown more skeptical]
of the administration’s social agenda as inflation has persisted."

Human Reform Politics on FB \ From Douglas Dunn
December 2, 2021
All of the six Republican-appointed ”justices” are illegitimate. All were either appointed by an illegitimate “president” who did not win the popular vote and only “won” the electoral college by massive cheating and voter suppression, OR lied under oath about sexual violence during their confirmation hearings, OR only got their nominations or confirmations because of illegitimate manipulation of the confirmation process in ways never envisioned by the Founders.
1. Clarence Thomas — committed perjury during confirmation hearings lying about sexual assaults.
2. John Roberts — appointed by an unelected president who took office without getting the most votes and only “won” the Electoral College solely because of cheating and voter suppression in Florida.
3. Samuel Alito — appointed by an unelected president who took office without getting the most votes and solely because of cheating and voter suppression.
4. Neil Gorsuch — appointed by an unelected president who took office without getting the most votes and solely because of cheating via CONspiracy with Russia and vote suppression in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Also occupies a seat that should have been filled by Obama who was obstructed by racist Mitch McConnell.
5. Brett Kavanaugh — appointed by an unelected president who took office without getting the most votes and only “won” the Electoral College solely because of cheating via CONspiracy with Russia and voter suppression AND committed perjury during confirmation hearings and sexual assaults, including rape.
6. Amy Coney Barrett — appointed by an unelected president who took office without getting the most votes and solely because of cheating and voter suppression AND whose appointment was illegally rushed through in an unprecedented violation of the Senate’s own rules after voting in a presidential election was already under way.
Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh both lied under oath about sexual harassment of women, who they seem to think are their personal playthings. They are hardly the right people to be making judgments about women’s rights.

With Trump we have seen unprecedented corruption, racism, consorting with the enemy, cruelty, as well as contempt for: government, the U.S. Constitution, rule of law, minority populations, and regard for 99% of the American people and their children’s environment. All done in aid of overthrowing our alleged “Democracy” in favor a new Authoritarian dictatorship. This is the President who will have the larges and longest lasting impact on our Countries legal system.
DEMOCRATS HAVE FAILED THE AMERICAN. Democrats need to stop bringing the proverbial “knife to a gun fight”. Not wanting to stoop to Republicans level is nothing more than cheeky acquiescence to the two parties shared overlords$$$. Either Democrats fight for 99% of the American People the way Republicans fight for the rich or leave politics. The People have given way too much, and in fact have been reduced to giving their lives to Washington’s service of the Rich and it needs to stop, yesterday.
At a loss for Republicans war tactics? Look to Wisconsin. Perhaps purging of A-L-L Trump’s extremist judiciary appointments could be achieved by, say, cutting off the power to SCOTUS, defunding their salaries, or changing the locks. Anything short of that and Democrats may as well just shut up.
Strategies for their removal of “life-time appointments” to the judiciary made by a treasonous anti-American President may or may not include:
1. defunding their salaries;
2. forcing their retirement;
3. buying them out of their appointment;
4. illegally firing them and allowing them to seek restitution against the U.S. Government in the courts;
5. pass a law targeting a judges’ circumstances making it illegal for them to be a judge;
6. fire them legally for just cause;
7. impeachment, and
8. use any of the above in tandem with the bully pulpit.
9. apply some energy to the task!
Trump “counseled” Anthony Kennedy to retire. The only reason a judicial appointment is “life-time” is because the dominant political party lacks the will to end it. Beyond which the Supreme Court has a history of “Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted.” Recruiting assistance internationally to purge the justices may also help.

If Russia decides to use that as a sanction tool, or if shipping sanctions reduce supply, it could make food unaffordable to vast swaths of the population. not a gloat. My point is, this isn't a video game. Western leaders are both incompetent and playing with people's lives over a geopolitical win." Don Harder”

“Condemn Vladimir Putin’s criminal war of aggression, but we are not entitled to any self-righteousness. The United States Government has committed terrorism, torture, regime change, cruel sanctions, and attacked more than a dozen countries under false pretenses. Our hands aren't clean and our Politicians can't be trusted.
"Wars bring out the worst in all sides, and creating a world without war will require the United States to be self-critical rather than self-righteous.
So much is at stake that we should be concerned not only by Russia’s behavior, but by the arrogant self-certainty of many commentators and public officials in the U.S. and Europe.
Looking back on our country’s history, it’s clear that when the U.S. is on the right side of an issue, its capacity for self-criticism can disappear in dangerous ways. For instance: the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and the ruthlessness of the Japanese Imperial Army, imbued the U.S. with a thirst for vengeance that was used to justify all manner of atrocities against the Japanese, including the firebombing and nuking of civilian populations (as well as the internment of Japanese Americans).
After 9/11, a horrific attack on innocent office workers, the U.S. went on the warpath senselessly, launching disastrous destructive dishonest wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Our country’s barbaric actions in these countries included torture, indefinite detention, invasions, & drone strikes on civilians — created jihadists. Many Americans were so convinced President George W. Bush’s declaration that the enemy was ‘evil’ that any criticism of American conduct seemed like complicity with evil, which meant that American conduct was beyond criticism or accountability.
When the moral issues in a conflict seem clear-cut—as they do with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine—it is easy to see anyone who calls the complete righteousness of the Good Side into question as an ‘apologist’ for the Bad Side. But intelligent adults must be capable of discussing global politics with nuance; to criticize U.S. policy is not to be ‘with the enemy.’ It should not, for instance, be considered ‘pro-Putin’ or ‘Putin apologism’ to note that in the years leading up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, there were good reasons to believe that if Western countries tried to expand NATO to Ukraine, and continued to fill Eastern Europe with weapons systems that could target Russia, Russia might feel provoked. This is not to say that the ‘feeling’ is justified, any more than someone explaining what makes bees attack is justifying bee stings. But foreign policy analysts ranging from Henry Kissinger to Noam Chomsky pointed out years ago that the West was failing to approach the Ukraine issue in a way that would maximize the chances of a peaceful, mutually satisfactory outcome...”
