Global Warming At 3 °C By 2050? What's Behind The New German Climate Warning
German scientists warn global warming is accelerating faster than expected, raising the risk of a 3 °C rise by 2050 and forcing Europe to confront unthinkable adaptation plans. German scientists warn ...

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.

Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

At first the idea of abandoning your home is surreal. Then the taps run dry and hesitancy turns to panic.

A large climate migration is upon us.

Taps are running dry in Iran. Decades of bad decisions are to blame.
Iran’s water crisis is so dire the president has proposed evacuating the capital. Largely at fault are official policies that exhausted precious water resources.

Text covers all three images. The warm Agulhas Current off the southern end of Africa is one of the most powerful boundary currents in the world. It typically flows southward along the east coast of Africa, turns west off the southern tip of Africa and then mostly doubles back on itself and turns east, only contributing a minor portion of its flow to the more southerly Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) which is 5 x larger than any other current in the world. But that isn’t happening now. Instead almost all of the Agulhas is flowing directly into the ACC. What’s really concerning though is that the Agulhas has been running much warmer than usual - and it is usually quite warm to begin with. This massive additional heat flux into the ACC is occuring as multiple large marine heat waves are rapidly building just north of the ACC, particularly in the SW and SE South Pacific and the SE South Atlantic. Virtually the entire ACC is now significantly anomolously warm for the date. This has dire implications for increasing sea ice melt around Antarctica. We appear to be headed toward the first ever Blue Ocean Event (less than 1 million square km of sea ice remaining) which was expected to first occur in the Arctic and by a wide margin in number of years. But it’s becoming ever more likely that a BOE will occur first in Antarctica - and we could be just 3 months away form it. A BOE is a BFD for global climate because open ocean absorbs vastly more solar radiation than does sea ice. But whats even worse is a BOE in the Antarctic will hasten one in the Arctic. The g l o b a l w a r m i n g impacts of just an Antarctic BOE will be massive and much greater than from one in the Arctic. That’s because the sea ice around Antarctica extends much further equatorward than in the Arctic so the solar radiation is over a larger area and gets more intense sunlight. But the impacts of both will be even worse - they will be catastrophic to habitability of many species including that… An El Niño is expected by summer according to the U.S. Climate Prediction Center. El Niños can raise global average surface air temperatures by several tenths of a degree C or more. The coming one could be intense judging by the unusually warm water in place not only in the western tropical Pacific but also in other massive marine heat waves in the North Pacific centered at about 43 degrees North extending all across the North Pacific and in the SW South Pacific extending from Australia and New Zealand roughly a third of the way across the South Pacific. These MHWs will intensify the El Nino greatly. All of these MHWs are intensifying except for the North Pacific one but it is retaining much of its surface heat despite the approach of winter because the heat extends quite deep and it will warm back up again by late next spring. We are heading into uncharted waters. Image: current Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTAs) for the date including + 6.3 degrees C (+ 11.3 degrees F) in the open ocean well offshore of the southern end of Africa (from earth.nullschool.net). The blue color around Antarctica shows cooler than average for the date water because of cold melt water at the surface from both accelerating melt from Antarctic sea ice and accelerating continental glacial melt.

Fun fact 1:

I once had 7 interviews with a company.

Didn't get the job because they decided to change the org structure.

Radioactive (well known) company, with inept decision making. Glad I didn't get the job.

Very important for people to read this portion of the Epstein Files Transparency Act so you understand 1) why Mike Johnson was so upset today, and 2) what is NOT permitted to be redacted by the DOJ.
Screengrab of clause 2(b) of the Epstein Files Transparency Act: (b) PROHIBITED GROUNDS FOR WITHHOLDING.—In carrying out subsection (a), the Attorney General may not withhold from publication, delay the publication of, or redact any record, document, communication, or investigative material on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, publie figure, or foreign dignitary.

I remember hearing the reason we can't raise the minimum wage was it would cause the price of everything to skyrocket. Now the price of everything has skyrocketed but minimum wage has stayed the same. Funny how that worked out.

Those fearlessly paying attention, have also known it was WAY "too late" for... decades already.

We CANNOT stop or even slow global warming, and we haven't seen the worst of it. It's actually accelerating due to feedback loops!

"Hope" is a 4-letter word - an unfounded belief that everything will be ok. Delusion. Hopium.

But what if hope is an act of self preservation? A way to hold together meaning while the world collapses. A way to rationalize effort when all is futile.
