An impressive display of world class scientists recently (Nov. 27th) held a ‘UK National Emergency Briefing’, informing the world of impending climate change disaster scenarios that can no longer be ignored. A war-time footing is necessary.
Climate change has a new partner in its quest to alter life as we know it: Nuclear, the power buzzword for the AI Holy Grail of human submission to digital electrons mimicking human brainpower.
‘Massive Ocean Regime Shift, Alarming’; ‘Global Floods Beckon Noah’; and: ‘Antarctica on Alert!’.
The outlook for sea level rise has never been more pertinent and never so threatening. Global warming is running so far ahead of schedule, the dreaded +1.5°C pre-industrial already knocking on the door, as science consistently plays catchup, and sea level rise is one threat that may be on deck much sooner than anybody thought possible.
Biblical flooding, scorching heat, collapsing grid system, animals crumbling, waters rising, crops wilting, economy on the brink, and millions displaced. Welcome to the future of climate change… Pakistan.
Climate change is clobbering water resources and testing the nerves of the world, especially megacities.
It may seem absurd to consider collapse of the Amazon rainforest (65-million-years-old), but, sorry to say, it is already happening in early stages, as explained herein in some detail, with facts. Also: World heat is worse than ever; the entire planet is sweating.
Scientists estimate that permafrost holds up to 950 billion tons of carbon. As it thaws because of global warming, 50 billion tons of methane could enter the atmosphere from Siberian lakes alone. That’s ten times more methane than the atmosphere holds right now.

Buckle up, fireworks will be going off in a couple weeks in the pristine complex known as Dubai. World leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists, and fossil fuel producers will clash over the outlook for climate change and the impact of global warming, or should it be called global heating?
