Global Flooding and Eco-Anxiety
When it rains, it pours…
More and more folks around the planet are fleeing from torrential rains leading to severe flooding, and suffering spiritually, emotionally, and physically…
What’s next??
This rare phenomenon (

) happens when rocks lying on the surface of frozen lakes are heated by sunlight and emit infrared rays, melting ice below. When the sun sets, the ice refreezes, creating these incredible frozen near-impossible structures.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” - J.R.R. Tolkien

I have never seen anything like this before. An entire section of Norway complete with houses, roads, trees, fields just slid into the ocean and disappeared...ground must have been completely saturated with water?
Haha.
I call total and utter BS.
“Scientists have repeatedly said that Earth would need to average 1.5 degrees of warming over two or three decades to be a technical breach of the threshold.”
Nobody has said this, ever. Until now. At 1.48C for 2023.
Rising seas are inundating coastlines around the world. We are reaping what we have sowed.
Gee, I wonder if this is due to global warming and record high atmospheric and sea surface temperatures around the planet?
An emergency warning was issued at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, today following extremely high seas and significant flooding.
Homes have been evacuated as floodwaters overtook streets. Ocean Boulevard is closed, and residents are advised to avoid the area.

Hansen is the REAL Man.
The Mann is sadly mistaken. I wish he was right, but sadly, I think the probability of him being wrong is nearly 100%. Even more sadly, Mann is the media go-to boy and he endlessly promotes his books.

He doesn’t realize that we are already passing 1.5C. What a sick joke.

We will soon live in a world with no coral reefs…
Ocean heat is driving a global coral bleaching event, and it could be the worst on record

Currently stable parts of East Antarctica may be closer to melting than anyone realized
Stanford researchers have found large thawed or close-to-thawed areas under coastal portions of the ice sheet that holds back glaciers in the Wilkes Subglacial Basin.
It looks like
#Israel
will turn the entire northern area of
#Gaza
into ash and rubble. It will never be rebuilt.
Western leaders continue to cheerlead this sickening slaughter of men, woman, and children.
Why? For how long? We need a ceasefire.
Scientists have made a white paint that can make surfaces as much as eight degrees Fahrenheit cooler than air temperatures at midday, and up to 19 degrees cooler at night, reducing inside temperatures and cutting air-conditioning needs by as much as 40%.
There is NO New Normal. We are on the cliff edge of a huge accelerating rise!!

Globally, we just had the 5th warmest March on record, in spite of the cooling La Niña, and the Arctic was running a high fever, being 7 C warmer than normal.
Not good. I fret about the next El Niño…
My guess is that
#Israel
will kill between 50,000 and 100,000 people in
#Gaza
over the next weeks. Is the world OK with this?
Probably. Air pollution kills 10 million people per year; people are OK with that.
Climate mayhem will kill billions soon and people are OK with that.
Range 3.75x to 242.75x
So for say 1,000 dead Israeli’s this weekend they will kill between 3,750 to 243,000 in Gaza. Expect that over next few days.
No food, water, medical supplies, electricity will kill many, apart from bombs.
They say half Gaza is kids; anybody have data??
'Many will die': Climate scientists slam COP28…
“It's like promising your doctor that you will 'transition away from donuts' after being diagnosed with diabetes. The lack of an agreement to phase out fossil fuels was devastating."

Did you know that as recent as 50,000 years ago there were 5 homo species walking around:
1) Homo sapiens (us)
2) Neanderthals (in Europe)
3) Denisovans (in Asia)
4) Homo Floreienis (island of Flores in Indonesia)
5) Homo Luzonensis (in the Philippines)
Amazing, isn’t it…
Everybody got off the large plane because they followed rules and left the airplane without their carry-on bags.
If it was a US airplane at a US airport, they would have grabbed their laptops and cabin bags, and only half the people would have survived…
These 'pH stripes' show change in acidity of global ocean between 1982 and 2022 (pink and purples on the right being more acidic). Data shows 0.071 decrease in pH; which is an 18% increase in acidity.

I don’t think people realize that the buildings in
#Gaza
being pounded to rubble by
#Israel
will stay rubble for many years, maybe even forever. Rubble from the last wars is still rubble, since Israel controls the borders.
Talk about ongoing war crimes.
We do understand the
#globalwarming
caused by fossil fuels - for four decades it’s been going as predicted.
But we don’t understand the surprise upward leap that is happening now.
And that worries me.
The world must get onto the blue path: cut greenhouse gas emissions in half over the next seven years!
That is what “keeping 1.5° alive” means.
#IPCC
And we must limit warming to 1.5° to avert a planetary scale disaster.
All countries agreed to that 2015 in Paris.
