"Racist supremacy with ethnocentric bigotry was paraded openly, and planetary rights were sneered at while the Trump family and stooges filled their pockets."
Best one sentence summary of the Trump years I've seen. Thank you, I'm certainly going to use this, it's great.
What I'm really interested in is how we will handle the depopulation of Florida over the next 20 years and the loss of Houston. It's estimated that 26 million people will have to relocate out of Florida by 2050.
Can we "remove" a state from the rolls if no one lives there anymore?
The Crisis Report — 01: The “Climate Crisis” we all feared, has started. It’s happening right now.
"In August 2020 they announced that Greenland has passed the point of “no return”.
Finding; that based on the amount of thermal energy which has already accumulated in the climate system, it’s going to completely melt. Even if we get to Net Zero tomorrow, Greenland is going to melt, it’s “baked in” now.
When Greenland melts completely global sea levels will rise about 20 feet, or 7 meters.
We aren’t talking about “if” anymore. We are way past that. Now, we are discussing “how fast”.
It could happen in less than 200 years.
Because, it turns out that there was an unforeseen amplifier when it comes to melting glacial ice. Gravity.
What no one foresaw, was how much the movement of the water in one of these flows could warm the water up further.
The Greenland glaciers are 5,000 feet thick on average, about one mile. Water, falling through the glacier for that mile picks up speed. Speed plus friction makes heat. Falling water also has kinetic energy. That energy also becomes heat. The study found that.
“The ice sheet covering Greenland is melting rapidly at its base and is injecting far more water and ice into the ocean than previously understood, which could have serious ramifications for global sea level rise.
“Unprecedented” rates of melting have been observed at the bottom of the ice sheet, caused by huge quantities of meltwater falling down from the surface, according to the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
As the meltwater falls, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which ultimately warms the water as it pools at the base of the ice sheet. In that process, the study found that the Greenland ice sheet produces more energy than the world’s 10 largest hydroelectric dams combined.
“However, the heat generated by the falling water is not used to generate electricity. Instead, it melts the ice” stated Poul Christoffersen, a Canmridge University senior scientist who took part in the study.
That meltwater contributes to more melting at the bottom of the ice sheet. Where it also behaves as a lubricant that promotes faster flow and increases the quantity of ice discharged into the ocean.
The water flows become like hot needles being pressed into the ice, accelerating glacial melt by about 8% every year.
The most conservative possible estimate for sea level rise is now 1 foot (30cm) over the next 30 years!
That study came out the week before the Greenland paper dropped. It does not incorporate the new findings from Greenland.
When you consider the new data from Greenland. Is there anyone who thinks sea level rise over the next 30 years is “only” going to be one foot?
Realistically it’s going to be between 2–3 feet.
That’s going to happen over the next 30 years.
That’s just one part of the “Climate Crisis” that has started unfolding.
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.
Putin’s Strategy is coming into view. If you weren’t clear on it, World War III has started.
I think things are much worse than the projections. I think we are about to find out how “off” the models were.
