At the Edge of Apocalypse
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.
Where’s the Water?
Climate change is clobbering water resources and testing the nerves of the world, especially megacities.
Worsening Global Warming: Amazon Rainforest on Verge of Collapse; Deadly Heat
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.
Permafrost Showdown
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.
Global Warming Slices and Dices Greenland
One more UN Conference of the Parties, COP28, has flopped. The short-term financial interests of a few have again won over the health, lives and livelihoods of most people living on this planet. Meanwhile, new research has identified extremely disturbing deep trouble brewing in Greenland.
Showdown at COP28
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?
Nuclear Turns Fashionable
Small Modular Reactors (SMR) are the new nuclear craze, especially with the U.S. Congress. They are being advertised as a green deal for clean energy that skirts the heavy costs of paying the Middle East billions upon billions. However, the devil in the details is dangerously overlooked.
Forever Chemicals, Everywhere
Forever Chemicals are found everywhere from the depths of the Mariana Trench to the mountaintop of Mt. Everest. Following 80 years of manufacturing various PFAS chemicals, the world is swimming in chemical permanence. It is a toxic price society pays for modern-day conveniences.
Greenland is Worse Than Ever, Much Worse
A new study finds Greenland’s ice sheet thinning much further into the ice sheet core than previously thought, 100 miles inland. The implications are extremely concerning and far-reaching especially for sea level rise.
COP27 Egypt – Oh, Well!
Should the UN stop holding annual COP “Conference of the Parties” climate change meetings? For 30 years, following each COP meeting, CO2 emissions have climbed higher than the year before. That’s thirty years of failure to slow emissions by even a teeny bit. It’s starting to get embarrassing.
