Challenge accepted. You won't have to even wait very long. The crisis has already started.

The first big "Climate Shock" is about to hit. In 12 to 18 months a perfect storm of warming will kick in that will last 3-5 years.

It's a 3 part storm:

1. Albedo diminishing has doubled the rate of warming in the last 7 years. It's simple, if the planetary albedo declines, the earth warms up.

Here's the bad news: the Earth's albedo has been declining during the last 20 years in response to the planetary warming.

2. The La Nina cycle we are in will flip into an El Nino.

Heat in World's Oceans More Than Ever Recorded : This one is interesting because it states that the "Hiro Count" is now at 7 Hiro's per second.

Hottest ocean temperatures in history recorded last year

3. Warming that was being masked by SOx emissions will rapidly take place due to the changes in diesel fuels in the shipping industry in 2020.

Cleaner Air in 2020: 0.5% sulfur cap for ships enters into force worldwide.

All of this will combine to push warming above 2C by 2026.

This is going to trigger multifocal agricultural production failures globally over the next 2-6 years. Approximately 1 billion people are probably going to starve in this time frame.

The Climate Crisis is upon us "right now".

In Ukraine we are seeing the first war of the "Climate Crisis".

Agricultural output failures of 40% are already happening.

Here's the science part.

Heat doesn't "just happen" - Where it's coming from and why that matters.

It's a lot to read, but yeah, 800 million to 1.5 billion dead over the next 5- years. With all the disruption that's going to bring. Dust Bowl 2.0 in the US for sure. Is that "going to hell" enough for you?

Oh, and the oceans are dying.

Consider the Earth's Oceans, that's where all the heat goes: Global Warming is Actually "Ocean Warming"
