Burning fossil fuels is heating the planet. But if we quit our
fossil fuel habit and stop emitting greenhouse gases... what
happens then? Answers seem to vary from "global warming will stop"
to "we can expect more and more climate change to come". So which
is right? And what would it really take to stop climate change and
protect ourselves as much as possible?<br>

<b>Antarctic Temperature Amplification, Southern Ocean and
Atmosphere Circulation Changes and Heating</b><br>
Paul Beckwith<br>
Sep 8, 2023<br>
Since most of Earth’s population lives in the Northern Hemisphere
(NH) we tend to overlook the huge effects of Abrupt Climate System
Change on the Southern Hemisphere (SH).<br>
<br>
In this video, I teach you the most recent scientific picture of the
destabilizing Antarctic region.<br>
<br>
A new peer-reviewed scientific study was just published, and clearly
shows that Antarctic Temperature Amplification is accelerating. <br>
<br>
We have known that Arctic Temperature Amplification is at least 4x,
and I have always argued it is between 5-8x. We also know that this
has slowed and made more wavy and fractured the northern hemisphere
jet streams, causing great increases in frequency, severity, and
duration of extreme weather events around the globe, as well as
causing extreme disruption in regions where they never happened
before.<br>
<br>
Well, now we know that Antarctic Temperature Amplification of at
least 2x is also occurring. With the huge NH warming of the oceans
and atmosphere, more equatorial heat, including that from the
strengthening El Niño, is transported to the SH. Antarctic Sea Ice
is quite literally plummeting like a rock, and as we move into NH
autumn, this SH spring, the rising Sun in the SH will greatly
increase temperatures there since over 2.5 million square kilometres
of sea ice is missing this year, for the first time.<br>
<br>
Climate disruption will be head-spinning and absolutely shocking
over the next few years, beyond anything we have seen this far. In
other words, climate disruption is just getting warmed up. <br>
<br>
You ain’t seen anything yet!!<br>

Human Extinction with Stephen Luby</b><br>
Stanford Alumni<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">Nov 21, 2022 GUNN BUILDING<br>
The progressive destruction of earth’s biosphere, increasingly
powerful weapons, pandemics from synthetic pathogens and
deployment of super intelligent machines all threaten the
extinction of Homo sapiens within the next century. How should we
think about these threats? How should we respond to them?<br>
<br>
Stephen Luby, is a professor of medicine (infectious diseases) and
senior fellow at the Woods Institute and the Freeman Spogli
Institute and professor, by courtesy, of epidemiology and
population health. Dr. Luby earned his medical degree from the
University of Texas Southwestern Medical School at Dallas and
studied epidemiology and preventive medicine at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention; and is a prolific researcher who,
by working closely with local collaborators, has conducted
extensive work assessing pandemic risks and strategies to reduce
these risks. He is known for his work demonstrating the impact of
handwashing on disease reduction in low-income countries,
characterizing the epidemiology of Nipah virus transmission in
Bangladesh, and explicating the importance of unsafe injections
for transmission of hepatitis C in low-income countries.<br>

<blockquote><font face="Calibri">Appropriately, our top story this
week concerns new research that suggests that the stresses on
the environment – in particular the continued carbon pollution
forcing climate breakdown – are bringing us closer to critical
tipping points. It makes for difficult reading, but is another
reminder of just how necessary and urgent our work is as
environmental campaigners. I hope you find the report, in full
below, useful.</font><br>
</blockquote>
<font face="Calibri"> </font> <b>Ecological ‘doom loops’ edging
closer</b><br>
<br>
Extreme events and rising stress levels are increasing the
likelihood of ecosystem collapse, say scientists.<br>
<br>
Extreme weather events such as wildfires and droughts will
accelerate change in stressed systems, leading to quicker tipping
points of ecological decline, according to a new study published
today in Nature Sustainability.<br>
<br>
The research team used computer modelling to look at four ecosystems
under threat to work out what factors might lead to tipping points,
beyond which collapse would be inevitable.<br>
<br>
In some systems, the combination of adding new extreme events on top
of other ongoing stresses brought the timing of a predicted tipping
point closer to the present by as much as 80 per cent.<br>
<br>
<b>Stresses</b><br>
<br>
Ultimately, say the authors, a “perfect storm” of continuous stress
from factors such as unsustainable land use, agricultural expansion
and climate change, when coupled with disruptive episodes like
floods and fires, will act in concert to rapidly imperil natural
systems. “Over a fifth of ecosystems worldwide are in danger of
collapsing,” said Professor Simon Willcock, who co-led the study.
“However, ongoing stresses and extreme events interact to accelerate
rapid changes that may well be out of our control. Once these reach
a tipping point, it’s too late.”<br>
<br>
The team looked at two lake ecosystems and two forestry examples,
including the historic collapse of the Easter Island (Rapa Nui)
civilisation, widely thought to have been the result of
over-population combined with unsustainable exploitation of tree
cover.<br>
<br>
The models were run over 70,000 times for each ecosystem, with
variables adjusted on each occasion. Up to 15 per cent of collapses
occurred as a result of new stresses or extreme events, even while
the main stress was kept constant.<br>
<br>
In other words, even if ecosystems are managed more sustainably by
keeping the main stress levels like deforestation constant, new
stresses like global warming and extreme weather events could still
bring forward a collapse. <br>
<b><br>
</b><b>Tipping</b><br>
<br>
The number of extreme climate events has increased since 1980 and
global warming even at 1.5 °C will increase those numbers further.
Scientists are also concerned about possible knock-on effects as one
collapsing ecosystem impacts on neighbouring ecosystems.<br>
<br>
“In the past two years, the world has come together around the
climate and ecological crises through the UN Climate Change and
Biodiversity Conferences,” said Willcock. “But we should remember
that the causes of the crises are interlinked – that they have
already collided – and that inaction over both may result in dire
consequences.” <br>

Leading economists, writers and activists come together in Bristol
to discuss how we solve our current ecological, social and economic
crises. Speakers include Ann Pettifor, Charlie Hertzog Young, Satish
Kumar, Herbert Girardet, Helen Browning, Gareth Dale and James
Meadway.<br>
<br>
This all day event has been organised by The Ecologist in
partnership with the Schumacher Institute in Bristol. The aim of the
event is to provide an educational opportunity to activists and
organisers focused on solutions to our current ecological, social
and economic crises. The event is the beating heart of the new
Strategy for The Ecologist, which will focus our work on
investigating the fossil fuels economy, discussing heterodox
economics and systems theory, and developing a vision for a
regenerative future.<br>

ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, Total, BP, and a couple of other
western companies got the first contracts to handle Iraqi oil in
the post-Saddam era. The contracts were, oddly enough, no-bid
deals. And they involve oil with which, we had been told in
2003, the Iraqis would pay for the entire cost of the war
themselves.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> </font><br>
<font face="Calibri">"Well, guess what? The Iraqis have cancelled
the deals. On the other hand, Iraq has confirmed its first
major post-Saddam oil contract with a major global player: the

Americans to their death in Iraq to make that country safe for
big oil. Chinese big oil."</font><br>
