“I hope I'm wrong but I with the news of Methane spewing out of the Arctic as measured the Barrow Alaska NOAA station, over a period of months now, at the level it is (see Sam Carana's recent posts) I feel like we've moved from a minute to midnight to 3 seconds til.
Our only hope would be if enough people made enough effort to get through to the wealthy and governments exactly the situation we're in and maybe get Cloud Brightening implemented ASAP while we wait for MEER test data (I'm guessing won't be available until next Fall or Winter so that Dr Tao can ask for government money ) OR we try to get stratospheric aerosol injection using calcium carbonate implemented, It's price tag is MUCH lower than MEER and thus it's imo a lot likelier to get funded (as best as my non chemistry background self can understand from a study which is partly in layman's language won't harm the ozone layer, but still would likely cause increased drought in sub Saharan Africa and India , However sub Saharan Africa is already is a VERY serious drought.
So far as India idk WTF to do . If the world , including India's leaders suddenly understood what is at immediate risk could we transplant 700 billion some Indian migrants ? I'm going to try to start speaking directly to David Keith (wish me luck)”

Kevin Trent Boswell
“This is another song inspired by grappling with the harsh realities we’re facing. On the surface, it’s just a love song. But to anyone paying attention to the lyrics and the video together, it becomes clear that it’s not just addressing just a human, significant other. The chorus of “Your arms feel like a nice, quiet place to die” are also directed to the Earth itself, for being the lovely home that it’s been for us for so long.
For thousands of years it gave us everything we needed or wanted. Until recently, most of assumed that we’d die exactly like our ancestors did, from old age, disease, an accident or something like that. We assumed that with intelligence and a little luck, the Earth would always serve for us as a nice, quiet place to die.”

“The 4 Extinction Accelerating Climate Change & Global Warming Tipping Points”
“Val Eisman
Excerpt from much longer article.
"Here are the four critical levels of global warming extinction triggering, accelerating, and executing tipping points we will cross in the near future if we fail to act effectively
Below please find the four most important global warming tipping point levels within our complex climate system, which will involve interacting climate, biological and human systems, and subsystems.
The four critical atmospheric carbon-based global warming accelerating tipping points and deadlines to never forget are:
1. The 2025 carbon 425-450 ppm tipping point level. (This tipping point significantly accelerates and begins the runaway process of triggering more and more critical global warming tipping points at faster and faster rates. Once we cross this carbon 425-450 ppm tipping point, the average global temperature will continue to rise out of our control. It will continue rising, powered by the laws of climate physics and the natural forces of the climate system.
This tipping point, if avoided, will allow us to at least slow down the currently unavoidable extinction of half of humanity by mid-century so that more of us can live longer. On the other hand, this tipping point, if crossed, will lead us within a few additional decades beyond the unavoidable extinction of half of humanity into total human extinction.)
2. The extinction-accelerating, runaway global ice melting carbon 500 ppm tipping point level. (ALL ice and ALL glaciers on Earth will enter a near-unstoppable process of a complete meltdown! (Sea levels could rise up to 10 feet over decades and up to 220 feet over several centuries.)
3. The carbon 600 ppm total human extinction, runaway massive methane release tipping point level. (Carbon 600 ppm is where massive amounts of methane gas start being released from coastal ocean shelves and the world's permafrost, and all of humanity will perish.) And,
4. The above carbon 750 ppm runaway greenhouse gas effect and atmosphere removal tipping point level. (This is the final global warming tipping point level of carbon 750 and beyond. It leads to the total extinction of all biological life on Earth, needing oxygen to survive. This is because our average global temperature is rising so high that Earth's oxygen atmosphere is stripped off into space and everything dies.)
It is important to note that every advanced national intelligence agency around the world with adequate long-term climate research funding already knows about the above four tipping points and precisely what will happen when we cross them. (Just like they knew that we had to be prepared for the next pandemic.) Yet, they chose to keep this information a carefully guarded national secret and not urge their politicians to adequately and publically prepare or act.
The reason for this secrecy may be simple. If you knew your governments were secretly preparing to save themselves and their key personnel from what you about to read, you probably would be angry, fearful, and in panic. Widespread public anger and fear would substantially interfere or delay governmental efforts to secretly prepare their survival plans. To think that the best-resourced national intelligence agencies do not have this information as well as the big data meta-systemic analysis skills to review current climate research studies and see the coming extinction emergency is naive beyond belief."
"After you finish this article you will also know the most probable cause of an inevitable World War III if we let this extinction emergency get out of control. That inevitability will be a massive nuclear, biological and/or chemical war for the last global warming safer zones where a tiny desperate portion of humanity may be able to survive if we do not cross the fourth and final tipping point."”

“Not 1.5C, Not 2C, a 10C Temperature Increase is Baked in.”
“Losing the remaining Arctic sea ice and its ability to reflect incoming solar energy back to space would be equivalent to adding one trillion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere, on top of the 2.4 trillion tons emitted since the Industrial Age, according to current and former researchers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego.”
“At current rates, this roughly equates to 25 years of global CO2 emissions.”
