5/2/20 – The Fatal Road To 4 Degrees Celsius

In case people haven’t seen this on Sam Carana’s blog from Andrew Glikson:

Summary and conclusions

  1. Late 20th century to early 21st century global greenhouse gas levels and regional warming rates have reached a high factor to an order of magnitude faster than those of past geological and mass extinction events, with major implications for the nature and speed of extreme weather events.
  2. The Anthropocene CO₂ rise and warming rates exceed that of the Last Glacial Termination (LGT) (21–8kyr), the Paleocene-Eocene hyperthermal event (PETM) (55.9 Ma) and the post-impact Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (K-T) (64.98 Ma). 
  3. Further to NASA’s reported mean land-ocean temperature rise of +1.18°C in March 2020, relative to the 1951-1980 baseline, large parts of the continents, including central Asia, west Africa eastern South America and Australia are warming toward mean temperatures of +2°C and higher. 
  4. Major consequences of the current shift in state of the climate system pertain to the weakening of the polar boundaries and the migration of climate zones toward the poles. Transient cooling pauses are projected as a result of the flow of cold ice melt water from Greenland and Antarctica into the oceans, leading to stadial cooling intervals.
  5. Given the abrupt shift in state of the atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere-land system, the current trend signifies an abrupt shift in state of the atmosphere, accelerating since the mid-20th century. Terms such as climate change and global warming no longer reflect the extreme nature of the climate events consequent on this shift, amounting to a climate catastrophe on a geological scale.

5/4/20 – The world is on lockdown. So where are all the carbon emissions coming from?

Toward the end of this article, the aerosol masking effect is mentioned:
That helps explain why 2020 is already on track to be the warmest ever recorded, beating out 2016. In a sad irony, the decrease in air pollution may make it even hotter. Veerabhadran Ramanathan, a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California, San Diego, explained that many polluting particles have a “masking” effect on global warming, reflecting the sun’s rays, canceling out some of the warming from greenhouse gas emissions. With that shield of pollution gone, Ramanathan said, “We could see an increase in warming.”

5/9/20 – If you haven’t listened to Nature Bats Last’s latest podcast, I highly recommend it. Guy McPherson and Kevin Hester interview Kirkpatrick Sale regarding the collapse we’re in the midst of. In the early 1990’s, he predicted the collapse would come in 2020. Now here we are. After listening to the interview, I purchased the Kindle version of his book, “The Collapse of 2020” and read it last night. This speaks to all of us who have come to the realization of Near Term Human Extinction, Abrupt Climate Disruption and all the other predicaments we find ourselves in now. It put things in perspective for me yet again. We are near the end. We have front row seats experiencing the collapse of all we know. I wish to thank all my SubscribeStar members for being here. It’s an honor to have you here with me.
Love,
Margo

The Collapse of 2020




5/9/20 – from SpaceWeather.com today:

SOLAR SECTOR BOUNDARY CROSSING: Earth is about to cross a fold in the heliospheric current sheet–a vast wavy structure in interplanetary space separating regions of opposite magnetic polarity. The crossing, called a “solar sector boundary crossing,” is expected on May 11th and could trigger geomagnetic activity around Earth’s poles.

5/13/20 –  The Five Stages of Coronavirus Grief by Mike Adams

I just finished listening to Mike Adams discuss the 5 stages of grief and applying them to what people are going through with the Coronavirus situation. I found it very helpful. He explains that most people are not able to immediately assimilate the information, see the big picture and jump into action because they’re processing different stages of grief. Some people are more flexible in their thinking and are able to change and adapt to new situations quickly. He talks about how to mentally prepare to be able to adapt to the changing landscape.

Even though we understand that we’re in the midst of the 6th mass extinction and have broader knowledge of Abrupt Climate Change and Near Term Human Extinction, we still have to find ways to adapt and survive in the middle of great change and upheaval. It would be easier if we knew when “The End” will come, but we don’t. It’s different for each of us. As we journey through this experience, every day is different and new. The more adaptable we are, the better we will be able to handle whatever we must face.

You might find some useful information from his discussion. Even though he’s a climate denier, I find his logical thinking very refreshing.

May God bless each of you and keep you safe.
Love,
Margo
