If a tree falls in a burning forest — did it matter?

Climate Authors waste paper with buffering words to instill a sense of hope that a collective action to stop climate change is possible…….. ok….

We will not see or hear from climate change authors soon enough…… But keep watching the shit show, it can help distract the mind and senses from observing with the naked eye where nature and the planet are.

The calendar year of 2024 was announced as the first above 1.5 °C warming5,6 and, therefore, it signals that most probably Earth has already entered a 20-year period at 1.5 °C warming. We want to stress that the entry time in the 20-year period at 1.5 °C warming should not be interpreted as the timing of the warming level itself, which would be placed at the midpoint of the 20 year period, 10 years after the entry time. Our findings provide an early warning for anticipating a critical warming level threshold and inform appropriate mitigation and adaptation responses. In particular, the early warning signals the occurred onset of a period where the climate impacts of a 1.5 °C warmer world may start to emerge, underscoring the urgency of adaptation action24. Our results also indicate that, by rapidly slowing down the warming rate23, stringent near-term mitigation has the potential to substantially reduce risks of exceeding the 1.5 °C warming level soon after the first single year above 1.5 °C has occurred. At the same time, only rapid near-term mitigation can effectively limit peak warming, which is required to hold warming well below 2 °C with high probability25 in case of exceedance of 1.5 °C. A year above 1.5 °C is not the time for despair, but a call to action.

I suspect Elon Musk and his how many billion in armored cyber trucks? Will launch the occupation of mars soon. What? that’s crazy — yes, yes indeed it is…….. but!!! if the worlds richest person wants to do it — who are we to stop him.

Elon can die on Mars we will die here.

Anyone look at the temps in South America lately????

Nope.

Anyone tracking how hot January of 2025 was?????

nope

How about the poles — are we watching the ice melt???

nope

Orange monsters and wrinkly demons are everywhere...bwaahhaahhhaa.. And they are.

Old white men shouting out the authority of god… the dominion of earth placed upon their shoulders by the lord almighty…..

You will be forced to fight tooth and nail for every minute concession … your fight will be burdened upon you by idiots with power.. and you will fight over the minor details in the hopes that others will care and join in … Sisyphus rising !!!!

Join the submission?

The clamp down must get more secure before we get more spontaneous combustion of infrastructure and loss of crops and habitat.

With the system we have, the people we have and the speed at which climate change is now moving ….. the upper-class certainly expects that the lower classes would just rise up and take if there was nothing to live for — why? because it’s what they are doing.

Stay strong stay greedy — God bless America

We are in Extinction — we might as well share the update with our neighbors. A little collective focus on the important issues of the day might just be the breath of fresh ( polluted) air we need.

It is here — all the predictions are correct. We are not gonna stop it. it will end your time as a human. heat related deaths and the increases of infectious disease, as well as loss of habitat, crop failure, and massive species extinctions have always been up front and explained as a consequence of climate change. Al Gore even knew it.
