The ocean is rapidly heating up, hitting record-breaking levels. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that ocean
surface temperatures spiked in April and May to the highest levels
recorded since the 1950s. All this could have dangerous consequences
for aquatic life, hurricane activity and global weather patterns.

Climate Emergency Forum<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">This video was recorded on May 24th,
2023, and published on June 18th, 2023. <br>
<br>
Some of the topics discussed:<br>
- How one of the key characteristics of climate change known for
decades has always been inertia and momentum. This paper shows
that at the current levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,
the planet is slowly moving towards a 10°C rise in global average
temperature.<br>
- How James Hansen is a voice crying in the climate wilderness as
he always seems to have been because the scientific community is
not agreeing with him.<br>
- How one of the big feedbacks in the climate system is ice sheet
albedo and its key role in leading us to a 10°C rise.<br>
- How the methane emissions feedback from the warming of the
wetlands will be inevitable.<br>
- How a new draft of the paper was released on May 19th.<br>
- How the Global Climate Models (GCMs) have been under predicting
the global average temperature rates of change and how by using
the Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS), which is how much the
climate warms for a doubling of CO2 levels, we can arrive at much
more accurate prediction of global average temperature rise from
paleoclimate data.<br>
- The enormity of consequences of climate change demands a return
to a Holocene-level global temperature with the required actions
that include: 1) A global increasing price on GHG emissions; 2) An
East-West cooperation in a way that accommodates developing world
needs; 3) Intervention with Earth’s radiation imbalance to phase
down today’s massive human-made “geo-transformation” of Earth’s
climate.</font><br>

<blockquote><font face="Calibri">Abstract</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Improved knowledge of glacial-to-interglacial
global temperature change implies that fast-feedback equilibrium
climate sensitivity is at least ~4°C for doubled CO2 (2xCO2),
with likely range 3.5-5.5°C. Greenhouse gas (GHG) climate
forcing is 4.1 W/m2 larger in 2021 than in 1750, equivalent to
2xCO2 forcing. Global warming in the pipeline is greater than
prior estimates. Eventual global warming due to today's GHG
forcing alone -- after slow feedbacks operate -- is about 10°C.
Human-made aerosols are a major climate forcing, mainly via
their effect on clouds. We infer from paleoclimate data that
aerosol cooling offset GHG warming for several millennia as
civilization developed. A hinge-point in global warming occurred
in 1970 as increased GHG warming outpaced aerosol cooling,
leading to global warming of 0.18°C per decade. Aerosol cooling
is larger than estimated in the current IPCC report, but it has
declined since 2010 because of aerosol reductions in China and
shipping. Without unprecedented global actions to reduce GHG
growth, 2010 could be another hinge point, with global warming
in following decades 50-100% greater than in the prior 40 years.
The enormity of consequences of warming in the pipeline demands
a new approach addressing legacy and future emissions. The
essential requirement to "save" young people and future
generations is return to Holocene-level global temperature.
Three urgently required actions are: 1) a global increasing
price on GHG emissions, 2) purposeful intervention to rapidly
phase down present massive geoengineering of Earth's climate,
and 3) renewed East-West cooperation in a way that accommodates
developing world needs.</font><font face="Calibri"><br>

<i><font face="Calibri">[ Spend $7. to see the movie now via Google
Play, Apple TV, and Redbox - although I don't think the FBI
should worry much ]</font></i><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>This Recent Indie Eco-Thriller Is So
Powerful, It Had the FBI Concerned</b><br>
BY ORESTES ADAM<br>
June 18, 2023<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">Rarely does a movie actively inspire its
audience to take action as intensely as this year's How to Blow Up
a Pipeline, a film so realistic and procedural from the
perspective of its radical climate activists that it caught the
attention of the FBI. Directed by Daniel Goldhaber, who broke into
the scene in 2018 with his cerebral Netflix horror Cam, this
underrated eco-thriller uses the structural beats of heist and
Western films to craft a deliciously entertaining feature that
pulls no punches with regard to the dangers of climate change and
the moral ambiguities of sabotage for a righteous cause. While
protest movies tend to contain their commentary to historical
events, using the context of the modern cultural climate to
discuss the outdated ways of the old, Goldhaber’s sophomore
feature is unique in that it doesn’t just emphasize the present,
but the future as well.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Adapted from Andreas Malm’s non-fiction novel
of the same name, the likes of which reads like a manifesto
arguing for sabotage as a righteous form of environmental
activism, How to Blow Up a Pipeline follows a group of eight
activists who attempt to demolish an oil pipeline in an attempt to
directly combat oil refineries and their pollution of the earth.
Whether it’s a terminal cancer diagnosis from growing up in
proximity to chemical plants, the death of a parent over a freak
heat wave, the corporate invasion of one’s ancestral property, or
simply the promise of an adrenaline rush, each member of the
pipeline hit squad is remarkably in it for different reasons.
Coming together like a band of outlaws, the key distinction
between them and the charming thieves of other heist movies is
that no one on this team is in it for personal gain.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>What Does ‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline’ Take
From Classic Westerns?</b><br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The Western connection is strong with this one,
with its depiction of violence matching that of The Wild Bunch and
Shane in their time. Although How to Blow Up a Pipeline doesn’t
feature any shootouts or gunfights, the violence depicted is of
almost greater concern for the fact that it encourages its
audience to fight authority in spite of the personal risk
involved. It’s not just the wide, Texan landscapes that irk the
Western comparisons either. Daniel Goldhaber specifically chose to
model his film after Westerns to illustrate how the fight between
man and state is deeply rooted within American culture. He cites
The Great Train Robbery specifically for the fact that it’s the
first heist movie ever made, claiming that the premise of “a gang
of outsiders taking back agency and control from the man” is one
universally understood by Americans and deeply ingrained into the
culture. Just as Westerns interrogate the individualism of its
characters in the face of the jaw-dropping Western frontier,
through its masterful collage of genres, How to Blow Up a Pipeline
becomes just as much about finding one’s place in a dying world as
it is about eco-terrorism.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Daniel Goldhaber Maintains 'How To Blow Up a
Pipeline’s Cynical Realism Throughout</b><br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Though the phenomenal ticking clock score and
flashback structure certainly sensationalize the events of the
film to a strong degree, Goldhaber’s most commendable effort is
the way he sustains a realistic tone all the way up to the film’s
end credits. Like The Battle of Algiers, one of the most
significant movies to advocate for violence in revolution, How to
Blow Up a Pipeline makes several attempts to underline the fact
that people’s livelihoods will be massively disrupted as a result
of the group’s actions, mainly referring to the steep rise in oil
prices expected after they cut off a major portion of the supply.
In the face of this moral dilemma, the activists choose not to
show hesitance but reinforcement towards their cause, stating that
a future without gas in your car is better than no future at all.
Impressively, the film’s quick production cycle ran a
lightning-fast 18 months, from conception to completion, part of
the reason being the absolute urgency that the climate issue
demands. With mere years until changes to the climate become
irreversible, as the film’s riveting tagline contends, taking
drastic action is not terrorism but an act of self-defense.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">After this particular rag-tag group of misfits
succeeds in blowing up the pipeline, unlike Ocean’s Eleven,
there’s no final assembly by a gushing fountain as the gang
celebrates their conquest. Rather, the end credits consistently
cut back to the individual consequences of the group’s actions,
whether it’s becoming incarcerated, dying in prison, or living the
rest of their lives consumed by paranoia. While the film outright
encourages violent action, it doesn’t make light the issue of
potentially fatal personal risk as a result of doing so. It
doesn’t so much as gate keep activism for only the bravest of
individuals but rather acts as an informative assessment of the
dangers of environmental revolt.<br>
<br>
<b>How Did the FBI Respond to 'How To Blow Up a Pipeline'?</b><br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Naturally, with a film that openly attempts to
radicalize its audience against the very government it's released
under, major agencies showed concern. Prior to the film’s release,
the FBI themselves released a total of at least 35 warnings about
the film to various corporate bodies, urging them to increase
security in the wake of the film’s release and carefully monitor
any outside surveillance taking place around major energy outlets.
This isn’t totally unwarranted, as a portion of the film’s
official website dubbed ‘Take Action’ showcases a detailed map of
the U.S.’s expansive network of pipelines and oil spills. It
doesn’t offer any dark web links to illegal explosives, but it
does urge its readers to fight for the rights of revolutionaries
as when it comes to the environment, they’re fighting for yours
too.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Unlike the title would suggest, the film does
not provide a step-by-step instruction manual on how to make
bombs. However, it does detail a method through which the
activists are able to sabotage the pipeline without suffering the
consequences of an oil spill as if to insist to its audience that
one can be violent and responsible in their protests at the same
time. While no direct action against critical infrastructure has
been taken yet, the fact that it got the FBI jumpy is surely a
testament to the strength of its message.<br>
<br>
Ironically, between the film’s nail-biting set pieces and
puzzle-like structure, there’s plenty to enjoy even outside the
realms of activism, with an ensemble cast of young superstars in
the making ranging from Kristine Froseth to Sasha Lane. Beyond the
intended effect, the fact that a little American indie could
attempt to ignite and shake the foundations of U.S. capitalism so
boldly is a colossal feat in and of itself. With the FBI sounding
its alarm, there’s no doubt that it turned the right heads, but
for a matter like protecting the environment that will inevitably
affect the entire global population, the only question is whether
it turned enough. One can only hope that decades down the line
when the climate issue is inevitably prioritized by politicians,
film fans can look back on this little indie for the
groundbreaking awareness it intended to spread before it was too
late.<br>
