Climate change is getting worse: To paraphrase 90’s supergroup Destiny’s Child – “I do not believe we are ready for this Jelly’
New climate data shows the planet’s energy systems are moving rapidly out of balance — and what should be a temporary cooling phase is instead delivering record-breaking heat, raising urgent questions about how close we are to irreversible tipping points.
Comrades.
To paraphrase 90’s supergroup Destiny’s Child – “I do not believe we are ready for this jelly!”
Earth’s energy imbalance is accelerating
The horrific reality of the massive temperatures we are generating that will push the biosphere beyond the capacity to maintain civilisation in parts of the planet is actually speeding up and shit ’bout to git cray…
Earth being ‘pushed beyond its limits’ as energy imbalance reaches record high
State of the Climate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance, with oceans absorbing vast majority of trapped heat
The Guardian
The hottest decade ever recorded
…the last 11 years have been the hottest on record.
THE HOTTEST ON RECORD.
Do you even comprehend what that means mathematically?
Here’s the kicker!
Why La Niña should be cooling — but isn’t
We are in the La Niña!
THIS IS THE COOLING PHASE!
El Niño will intensify the warming trend
La Niña ends this year, and we go to El Niño, that’s the warming phase.
The impacts of all this are destabilising the environment and climate in ways we are simply refusing to accept and we certainly are not facing honestly!
I’m off to get some petrol…
If this is what a supposed cooling phase looks like, then the real danger is not just what’s coming next — but how unprepared we are to deal with it. The science is no longer warning of distant threats; it is describing a system already under strain.
Shame on all of us – me included at times – who have allowed ourselves to get caught up in other issues at the expense of climate change. People, we should reflect on the “why?”
