It's not the migration that's causing the world to , yer prat Donald, it's that's causing the ! Derrrr!

Donald Tusk: "But believe me - and I say this also looking at what is happening in the USA today - it is a question of the overall survival of our Western civilization. Or we will wake up and understand that we must protect our territory, our borders, that if we are open to all forms of migration without any control, our world will actually collapse."

ExxonMobil is so terrified of an advisory-only, non-binding shareholder proposal that they sued the shareholder to keep it from being voted on.

Nearly half of the worlds migratory species are in decline, UN report says.

AP reports: "Many songbirds, sea turtles, whales, sharks and other migratory animals move to different environments with changing seasons and are imperiled by habitat loss, illegal hunting and fishing, pollution and climate change."

: , also known as climate engineering or climate intervention, is the intentional manipulation of the Earth's climate and environment on a large scale.

The goal is to prevent further , slow down and reverse global warming, and mitigate the effects on the biosphere and civilization.

"Climate sensitivity is a number that roughly speaking tells us how fast climate change will get worse. A few years ago, after various software improvements, a bunch of climate models began having a much higher climate sensitivity than previously. Climate scientists have come up with reasons for why to ignore this. I think it's a bad idea to ignore this."

We ignore this at our peril! But Ive no doubt that those with the power and resources to do what is required for the sake of humanity *will* totally ignore this!

'Cliff-Like' Collapse of Critical Current System More Likely Than Thought: The new study adds significantly to the rising concern about an Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation collapse in the not-too-distant future, said one scientist. We will ignore this at our peril.

For many millennia, the Gulf Stream has carried warm waters from the Gulf of Mexico northward along the eastern North American seaboard and across the Atlantic to Europe. As human-caused global heating melts the Greenland ice sheet, massive quantities of fresh water are released into the North Atlantic, cooling the AMOCwhich delivers the bulk of the Gulf Stream's heattoward a tipping point that could stop the current in its tracks.

An AMOC shutdown would cause temperatures to rise in the Southern Hemisphere but plunge dramatically in Europe. In the study's model, London cools by an average of 18F and Bergen, Norway by 27F. An AMOC failure would also cause sea levels to rise along North America's east coast.

The Saffir-Simpson hurricane force scale has been used for 55 years to assess wind strength and warn residents of impending threats. The latest research shows that hurricanes are becoming stronger as the climate warms. Should scientists add a new category to classify these severe weather events Could it help and how

Scientists all over the world have spent their whole professional careers studying AMOC (Atlantic meridional overturning circulation).
And then there are the morons, who have a sh*tload of money, can hardly spell their own name correctly, but believe they know better

A new study suggests that the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC is on tipping course

"Its observational data from the South Atlantic which suggest the AMOC is on tipping course. Not the model simulation, which is just there to get a better understanding of which early warning signals work, and why."

Climate change: Fungal disease endangers wheat production

Climate change poses a threat to yields and food security worldwide, with plant diseases as one of the main risks. An international team of researchers has now shown that further spread of the fungal disease wheat blast could reduce global wheat production by 13% until 2050. The result is dramatic for global food security.

The Administration is setting records on nature conservation

"More than 24 million acres have been conserved or are in the process of being protected since Biden took office, the report found. Additionally, his administration has funded some $18 billion in projects in all 50 states, a new record for a first term."

very concerning about what is happening to the ocean right now

If the (Earth Energy Imbalance) continues to climb at a rate of 0.6 W/m2 per decade, then it looks like, from a starting point of 1.5 W/m2 and 21.1C, the average temperature globally of the top 50 meters of the will heat up as follows:

2062 - 37C (human body temp)
2082 - 50C (122F)
2100 - 65C (149F)

Is this for real It would mean we have less than 40 years.
