Extreme temperatures ar...Saturday, 5 September 2020<br />Extreme temperatures around the world <br />https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/09/extreme-temperatures-around-world.html<br /><br />Californians sought relief on Friday from the first day of a punishing heat wave expected to last through the Labor Day weekend, bringing temperatures of up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit (49 Celsius) and raising the risk of wildfires and rolling blackouts. [more]<br /><br />The unthinkable consequences of global warming<br />http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Humanity is fast reaching our moment of truth. What Hansen, Schellnhuber and others have warned us is based on evidence consistent with the basic laws of science, the discipline which, contrary to medieval superstition, is founded on direct observations, calculations and on reason.<br /><br />To elaborate on the nature of the threat humanity and nature are now facing:<br /><br /> A. The rise in greenhouse gas levels (Figure 1) and temperatures at the Earth surface, rising by more than 1°Celsius since 1880, has been underestimated. [more]<br /><br />B. The rise in temperature of large ocean regions, with much of the warming occurring to ~800 meter deep levels, reduces the ocean’s ability to absorb CO₂. This means that more CO₂ is trapped in the atmosphere, causing further warming. Also, as ocean temperatures rise, the oceans are depleted in oxygen, which leads to increased production of methane and hydrogen sulphide, which are poisonous to marine life.<br /><br />C. Models projecting global warming as a linear trajectory, as outlined by the International panel of Climate Change (IPCC), take only limited account of the weakening of climate zone boundaries, as temperatures rise in the polar regions, notably the circum-Arctic jet stream. [more]<br /><br />D. An estimated 1,400 billion tons (400 GTC) of carbon is embedded in the world’s permafrost, mostly in the Arctic and sub-Arctic, from where large amounts of carbon are released under the fast warming conditions. [more]<br /><br />E. The 2019-2010 wildfires in Australia have unleashed about 900 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is equivalent to nearly double the country's total yearly fossil fuel emissions. As the planet warms, wildfires become more frequent and accelerate the warming process.<br /><br />F. Sea level rise will flood the very regions where civilization has emerged, low river valleys, delta and coastal planes, which are also vital to food production. This is estimated to displace 100 million people initially, and more over time as major coastal cities are flooded.<br /><br />G. The rising energy levels in warming regions of the Earth, notably tropical island chains such as the Caribbean and the Philippines, generate devastating tropical storms known as cyclones and typhoons. These wreak havoc on coastal regions of southeast North America, India, southern Africa, the Pacific and Australia.<br /><br />H. Rising heat levels in tropical, subtropical and intermediate Mediterranean climate zones may render large areas unsuitable for agriculture and are physiologically difficult for humans to live in as “heat bulb” conditions set in.

Rescuers noted that the death toll may increase as they search through remains of dozens of houses swept away by waters or buried in the mud.

Even CNN is admitting that this is “the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes”, but stock prices have just kept going higher and higher until this week. Several months ago the Federal Reserve decided to do whatever it took to rescue the financial markets, and their exceedingly reckless behavior fueled a speculative boom that is unlike anything that we have ever seen before. But now it appears that the boom may be ending. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 807 points on Thursday, and it appears that Friday could be another very challenging day for Wall Street. It is well documented that many of the greatest stock market crashes in history have happened in the fall, and many investors may be trying to bail out before this latest bubble bursts in spectacular fashion.<br /><br />Tech stocks have led the way up during this latest rally, and now they could potentially start leading the market back in the other direction. On Thursday, the biggest names in the tech world got hit particularly hard… [more]<br /><br />[3rd piece below (?)]<br /><br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819564675299071481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-45824608628303761022020-09-05T07:37:42.293-05:002020-09-05T07:37:42.293-05:00Thanks for finding my first comment in days, yeste...Thanks for finding my first comment in days, yesterday, Jonny.<br /><br />Today we have IN YOUR FACE JJFH:<br /><br />Horror at Kensington Palace: Corpse is found in the ornamental lake outside William and Kate's London home<br />https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8699207/Horror-Prince-William-Kate-Middletons-Kensington-Palace-corpse-park-pond.html<br /><br />A body had been retrieved from the pond outside Kensington Palace last week<br /><br />Endellion Lycett Green, 51, had been missing for a week, police confirmed<br /><br />Her family's grief turned to relief after corpse turned out to be another woman<br /><br />The body found in the pond remains unidentified.

With reports streaming in throughout 2019 regarding the circulation of vaccine-derived polioviruses in numerous African and Asian countries, a CDC virologist confessed, “We have now created more new emergences of the virus than we have stopped.”<br /><br />This week, the same story is making the same headlines, with the WHO’s shamefaced announcement that the oral polio vaccine is responsible for an alarming polio outbreak in Sudan—“linked to an ongoing vaccine-sparked epidemic in Chad”—with parallel outbreaks in a dozen other African countries.
