Wasn't expecting the "Day After Tomorrow " so soon 😪

A great time to remember that Animal Agriculture is the single largest driver of both greenhouse gas emissions and of ocean acidification. The future of humanity is vegan or humanity will have no future at all.

It is not terrifying. Don’t live your life in fear. It is a mild problem. The fear talk has to end.

The cascade is underway and picking up steam. Hoomans are continuing to pour gas on the fire. The planet will ultimately cull the herd.

Citizens United=immoral oligarchs fill policymaker roles. Our scientists are silenced by corporate power. Temporary profit without safe guidelines is the rule. Much of the built in redundancy of the planet has been destroyed. Aren’t immigrants fleeing effects of climate changes? Wake up to facts.

I have. Sadly. I expect a 4C global increase and a catastrophic collapse of several currents.

I remember learning about this years ago and realizing how much trouble we were in… back when many folks at the bad place still cared and I didn’t even get trolled for posting climate warnings

Global processes have long been set in motion that will take centuries if not millennia to stabilize. While the PedoTraitor destroys as many green initiatives he possibly can including paying a French company $1 billion taxpayer dollars to kill a wind project. GREED over all other considerations.

Brian Fagan wrote a wonderful book called the Little Ice Age, where he discusses on the currents of the Atlantic, in particular, have a tremendous influence on climate. The North Atlantic current is vital for the overall climate of the world.

Snowball earth within ten years after Gulfstream conveyor collapses since icecap growth reflects all heat into space. Albedo effect means all life will be under the ice until the next volcano cycle rewarms the earth. No life as we know it for millions of years thereafter. Ask any 4th grader.

Yes.
It’s not just about staying warm.
It includes the ability to grow food and for ecosystems to continue.

This is not one. There are very few things you should be afraid about. Fear is usually manipulative. Just live your life well. Don’t waste time in fear.
