About The Author
Earth will survive somehow, as soon as it shakes off its greedy human parasites.
It is now a race what would kill us faster – fascism or collapse of global ecosystem? Most likely – both.
Also, pulling out ALL of the western led factories from a dictatorship called China would practically at least HALVE the pollution China is putting into the air, soil and water.
Meaning, that the MOST POLLUTING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, would not pollute as badly anymore, but why only as badly? Because at the moment China pollutes our planet's atmosphere more, than ALL of the countries in the world combined!
The risks are real and substantial. The consequences of inaction or insufficient action could be catastrophic, potentially leading to widespread suffering, economic collapse, and even localized extinctions.
It's important to maintain a balanced perspective. While hope and optimism are essential for motivating action, we must also acknowledge the severity of the challenges we face. By understanding the risks and working together to find solutions, we can increase our chances of a sustainable future for both humans and the planet.
The Natural laws do not care about profit or greed. You'll just disappear, which may be your only saving grace at this juncture. It'll be like you were never here.
Itâll be sooner the more people insist on using ai images for their thumbnails.
Some friends have two cars, a gas powered Mercedes and an EV.
For the same distance, it costs them $75 for the gas powered and $6 for the EV.
Your positive tipping points are why we are doomed. Maintaining or switching this system is impossible even if the tech could be useful. Minimizing fossil fuels in transport means trains and ev bicycles and trying to eliminate most roads, Renewable energy mean intermittent local power if you want to be sustainable and vegetarianism is going up because people can't afford meat right now in a lot of the world over social awakening. Greenwashing is another form of denial of our current reality.
No, it isn't. We finished a Galactic Year. The entire Milky Way galaxy is heating up. It's not just Earth. Pluto is swimming in it's ice caps – are we burning fossil fuels over there as well? Does Elon of jets on Pluto? How about Jupiter? Our sun is solar flaring at exorbit rates. You can't stop this, it isn't created by humans. In any case, I'd say that massive side swipe we're going to have in 2029 – Friday the 13th, apparently – is going to create a lot of tsunamis even though it doesn't hit, it could still wipe out our grid system and it's going to get closer than our moon has. Why does nobody ever talk to NASA?
Fun fact, CO2 once emitted remains active in the atmosphere for around 1200 years before dropping into a carbon sink. Meaning all the CO2 we have emitted since the 1750 start of the industrial revolution, is still there to this day. Furthermore, it will still be there a long long time beyond the arbitrary year 2100. Meaning the emissions to continue heating this planet up faster and faster for another at least 1000 years is ALREADY there in the atmosphere right now. Ergo, netzero is utterly meaningless. The outcome is already set in stone. We need to go carbon negative in a big way to save ourselves now.
My heart just aches for everyone caught in the path of these terrible storms this week. There will be more storms, more deaths, more grief if we don't elect a leader willing to do what's needed! The Democrat presidential candidate has a plan of action against climate change. The Repubican candidate doesn't even believe in it. We have a choice to make in November. I hope we choose wisely. The extinction clock is absolutely ticking …
110 degrees here at the end of September, and I have to water my cactus lest they die from the heat (as several did last year). Nothing to see here. Let's move on and keep shopping. Or as the foul felon says, âDrill Baby, Drill!â
EVs? Don't think so…. Limited range urban grocery getters. And definitely not green. Come on, Thom, where are we going to get the electricity? As for that impressive acceleration? Sure. See you at the next red light. Unless (as in Tesla's case), that impressive torque rips the car apart. And EV trucks? đđđđđđđđđđ
Being socially responsible, would you buy anything hatched from Elon Huckster? The consummate white nationalist welfare queen?
Earth is alive and well…she was here long before man, and will be around long after she's rids herself of mankind…my soul welcomes it
Just focus on earth's last upgrade, the permafrost carbon storage system aka planetary carbon refrigerator.
The clathrates hypothesis is just trying to distract from the finding that it was CO2 that caused the great dying.
Seems like the system for the last couple million years is now a two phase self regulating system, given that volcanoes are unreliable input: a low and high carbon sequestration mode, triggered by crossing a temperature threshold. At interglacial temps, the permafrost unfreezes during the summer, so additional plant grow is deposited every year, increasing total carbon being removed. The rivers carry glacial iron dust, which increases plankton growth and nucleated cloud cover, keeping temperatures in check by reflecting more sun light. This high rate carbon deposition is fast, which is why the interglacials are short, taking the planet back to a safe amount of co2, with slower carbon deposition only from slow basalt weathering into to the oceans. Up until the next volcanic aggression increases temps past the threshold again.
The acc amoc ocean heat transport keeps the temps calibrated for the freeze unfreeze winter summer cycles. Otherwise it would just all melt during a transition away from an ice age. Also the locked in antarctic ice allows more landmass to be exposed and keep ocean levels more stable.
EV's really on the grid. The grid can't handle everyone getting an ev. Also ev's weigh more so they destroy roadways abd tires much quicker than gas cars. Plus the environmental damage producing ev is greater than producing gas guzzlers. Plus most electric grids run on fossil fuel so charging can use just as much fossil fuel as gas guzzlers.
All your traveling to far off places means your carbon footprint is huge compared to me.
Stephen Hawkin said max 1000 years, I say max about 100 years.
âĻand Thom sticks with Toxic Hope Michael Mann over Near-Term Human Extinction Professor Guy McPherson
Okay so he has part of the right occlusion that it's like a teeter totter that's what I've been theorizing except the teeter-totter is a little bit flexible so while it is, starting to tip 3 ft in diameter maybe 5 ft in diameter send that Tater totter at a sharper angle as its rolling so the acceleration is not linear, but logarithmic
Saying we are running out of time is very generous considering the destabilizing cathrates of the Eastern Siberian Shelf.đŽ
man will go extinct, but not due to man made global warming, which is a FRAUD. Quit propagandizing the people.
It's so ridiculous: "stop eating meat, but don't mess with capitalism, folks". Of course that's The kind of advice a liberal with his bilionaire friends would tell us!
we are done soon…….my guess. is 20 yrs…..but the chaos will start in 5 or 10 yrs….
he is really clueless about electric cars……………

Great vid. Methane clathrates are formed out of a lattice of ice with methane trapped inside. Methane has a freezing point of almost -300F. Thereâs no way that can happen naturally on earth.
The sooner humanity goes extinct the better. Pollution and ecological devastation are symptoms of H. sapien and wonât stop until humans are gone.
It depends on the how quick we can stop the globalist social elites and the current DemonRat cabal. They want to kill us, we have already been attacked with a bio weapon. They are after the food supply and energy. The DemonRat cabal is a death cult ask bill gates
Not soon enough. For all we know this is the only planet in the galaxy with so many complex life-forms. Hopefully the insects and invertebrates will at least survive.
I worked outside Saturday night. It was 91 at 7pm, with humidity at over 80%. It's been like that since May. Never seen anything like it.
How does climate change destroy all humans? Is it the increasing carbon dioxide concentration? Increasing temperatures?
I think we can survive climate change, even if most places turn into deserts and rivers drying up at lakes and stop flowing into the sea. We can do vertical farming to ensure the whole human population gets enough food. For hot places, like temperatures between 35 to 60 degrees celcius, just stay hydrated. As long as there is water on earth, it will keep it cool enough. When there is not enough fresh water from rivers and lakes, we can do desalination of the sea water to remove salt to produce drinking water.
We are doomed, if the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration gets too high or the oceans evaporate completely. Other than that, we can still survive climate change.
Occasionally, some time ago, I would watch "end of the world" movies and try to imagine what it would be like to be there and experience the end. Now I may not need to imagine it.
Well, we've had our time and if we're not smart enough to stop destroying our planet maybe it's time for us to go.
Would be nice to have the link to the report. Yeah, we are doomed, due to the inaction of the Western governments. Unless we have a general strike throughout the West — but try getting that to happen. It. Is. Over.
Sorry, electric cars won't save us. Check out Johan Rockstrom's planetary boundaries work.
Not soon enough đ
Yes electrical cars are cool
Nice job
As a Research Scientist, specializing in Climatology, Iâd like Vice President Harris to justify how she can support fracking, a major producer of CO2 emissions, in the wake of, yet another, climate catastrophe.
who are these idiots?
Pure nonsense as there is no such thing as climate change.
What there is, is a bunch of nutters who worship the weather.
The mining for lithium for humams all switching to EVs will completely destroy the planet
Not soon enough, This is for all the property owners/ homeowners and parents to figure out
This climate change is not caused by CO2 or the burning of fossil fuels. Its caused by increasing cosmic radiation entering the earth result of weakening magnetic field and also natural cycles. So even if the whole world went net zero from today on it wouldn't stop global warming . Global warming will continue on because its the SUN is responsible not plant food CO2. And thats kindergarten basic science.
Yet let's all keep being hostage to one single senile MAGA Boomer and argue about how ho says "nobody knew" there could be such "powerful storms." We are totally COOKED as a species, folks.
2040 max expiry date for humans. Israelis better get converting the Gerbils…
All cars are thermodynamic hell machines, Thom. Time to upscale your analytical skills.
I love your header picture with the koala bears; it was harrowing seeing how they suffered during those massive forest fires in Australia. Literally running up to guys on bicycles begging for water from the bikers' bottles. With scorched fur, paws, feet.
Yet tremendous to see the rescue efforts of people and sanctuary staff. Sometimes humans ain't so bad,
global warming is real. đŋđĨ
I went to Alaska in the early 80s . I seen pictures of recent Glaciers , amazing at theelting going on .
