It's becoming so "normal" now for JJFH incidents to invade and interrupt things like tv shows (shutting them down), lawn mowing and other yard work (disappearing the people mowing, burning debris), plane travel (causing diversions or crashes), train travel (derailing them), car and truck travel (accidents, fires), and building fires (like the apartment under construction that burned TWICE while being rebuilt - how are they going to explain THAT to the insurance company?).

Personally I shall be surprised if there are any humans on the planet in 2021 considering we are now in early stage runaway and for them to pretend that we will be below either of those temperatures in 2021 is a monumental dereliction of duty in my humble opinion, especially now that our oceans have reached carbon saturation and are now out-gassing carbon instead of being carbon sinks. It appears all the ‘heavy lifting’ that our oceans have been doing has drawn to a close. Yet another feedback loop/ tipping point crossed. <br />[more]<br /><br />Monday, 15 May 2017<br />WannaCry cyber attack spreads <br /><br />Watch this space.

As temperatures keep rising, snow and ice on Greenland and Svalbard keeps melting, taking away weight from the surface, making that isostatic rebound can increasingly trigger earthquakes on the faultline that crosses the Arctic Ocean.
