WHO IS GRETA AND WHAT IS SHE SAYING? 






































Greta is not alone. 

First Nations activist Caroline Crawley addresses the crowd as protesters gather outside the Ontario Legislature for the Climate Strike, in Toronto on Friday, Sept. 27, 2019.
https://abcnews.go.com/International/wave-climate-strike-protests-streets-world/story?

Amanda Perry Greta Thunberg is merely a messenger. Those who attack her feel threatened by her message. For one thing, acknowledging climate change means government regulations on corporations regarding environmental wastes. Trump et all are de-regulating to increase profits of the rich."



WHAT HAS BEEN THE RESPONSE TO GRETA'S MESSAGE FROM EXTREME RIGHT WING GLOBAL WARMING DENIALIST ORGANIZATIONS LIKE FOX NEWS? 


Around 100 global warming denialist organizations are claiming that the globe is cooling off, and we are entering an Ice Age. Those same individuals and groups attack a young girl called Greta, who decided to strike from school all on her own on one day a week, in order to try and convince legislators to do something. She showed up every Friday, on her own, with no parents asking or demanding she do this. She also talked her parents into committing to a more carbon neutral lifestyle, which hurt their incomes. Her parents are sacrificing, not profiting from her activism.

Earlier this week Fox News had to issue an apology after conservative commentator Michael J. Knowles called Thunberg "mentally ill" on its network.




What you will notice among those attacking Greta and/or her parents, is that they avoiding debating the subject and attack both her parents and her personally, via character assassinations. Those who are losers of debates resort to desperate measures such as fascist personal attacks, name calling and character assassination.

Trolls use this technique online to break up/destroy social media groups and/or physical meetings.




PERMAFROST MELTING IN ARCTIC REGIONS 

Is the Earth really cooling off or heating up?

You get to decide, based on the evidence plus data presented in this article...

Permafrost thaw unsettles the Arctic | Climate News Network
QUOTE JANUARY 3, 2019 A GREEN ROAD DAILY NEWS LEAVE A COMMENT
“These observations have led me to believe that global warming is not a ‘fake’ but the reality. And here, in Alaska, we are dealing already and will be dealing even more in the near future with this reality,” said Vladimir Romanovsky, of the University of Alaska’s geophysical institute, one of the authors.

Climate scientists and glaciologists have been warning about the rate of change in the Arctic for two decades: one estimate proposed that for every 1°C of warming, around 4 million square kilometres of permafrost − an area bigger than India − could thaw.

Locked in the frozen soil is an estimated 1,700 billion tonnes of carbon: this is about twice the mass of carbon in the atmosphere in the form of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Its release could precipitate even more calamitous climate change. And the economic consequences – assessed at a potential cost of $43 trillion − could be ruinous.

JAXA confirms 2018 Arctic Sea Ice extent came in 2nd lowest on record. JAXA is the Japanese NASA, or Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and their sea ice cover measurement service is widely considered to be the most accurate on the planet for Arctic sea ice extent. Their lowest year on record was 2016. Because of 2018’s 2nd place, 2017 is now 3rd lowest.

freebywillOCTOBER 15, 2016  A collapse in Arctic sea ice volume spells disaster for the rest of the planet

Global warming drives a stunning collapse in sea ice volume.

The sharp decline in Arctic sea ice area in recent decades has been matched by a harder-to-see, but equally sharp, drop in sea ice thickness. The combined result has been a warming-driven collapse in total sea ice volume  —  to about one quarter of its 1980 level.

ARCTIC SEA ICE COULD BE COMPLETELY GONE VERY SOON

Arctic sea ice is in big trouble.

This is bad news for multiple reasons, the primary one being that Arctic sea ice helps keep the polar regions cool along with working to moderate the entire global climate.

"Sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space," explains the National Snow and Ice Data Center's website. "As sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface. Instead of reflecting 80 percent of the sunlight, the ocean absorbs 90 percent of the sunlight. The oceans heat up, and Arctic temperatures rise further."

This also explains the most well-known -- and what is most likely the most important -- climate-related positive feedback loop, which has already spun out of control. 

When it comes to anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD), the Arctic is the proverbial canary in the coalmine. And if Arctic sea ice expert Dr. Peter Wadhams is right, that canary will likely be gone within two years. This would be the first time in more than 10,000 years that the Arctic sea ice has disappeared.

2016 - PRESIDENT OBAMA WARNS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING LEADING TO CLIMATE CHANGE REFUGEES, CITIES GOING UNDERWATER, FOOD SUPPLIES DECIMATED, AND CLIMATE CHANGE SPARKED CONFLICTS


Speaking before a high-level summit on migrants he convened at U.N. headquarters, Obama told the assembly of world leaders and foreign ministers that the problems they are seeing would only worsen in a warming world.

“If we don’t act boldly, the bill that could come due will be mass migrations, and cities submerged and nations displaced, and food supplies decimated, and conflicts born of despair,” he said.

The president, as he has in the past, pleaded for a “sense of urgency” from countries to help bring last year’s landmark Paris climate agreement into force this year. The United States ratified the deal with China early this month, and 31 more countries have done so today.

Daily Mail; Global warming is NOT taking a hiatus: New study finds that there is 'no evidence' to support a pause in global warming


Bottom line, global warming is accelerating and taking off, not slowing down or reversing, according to scientific research studies, satellites, glacier studies, glacier pictures, arctic ice volume pictures from satellites and much more. 

2013 - ANIMATION OF ARCTIC OCEAN ICE MINIMUM VOLUMES 1979 - 2013




This is an animated visualization of the startling decline of Arctic Sea Ice, showing the minimum volume reached every September since 1979, set on a map of New York with a 10km grid to give an idea of scale. It is clear that the trend of Arctic sea ice decline indicates that it'll be ice-free for an increasingly large part of the year, with consequences for the climate.

The Arctic ice in the arctic region is mostly made up of floating ice, so it will not cause ocean levels to rise, just like ice melting in a glass of water does not cause ocean levels to rise. But the permafrost ice melting off of land masses and the methane ice melting under the oceans and land masses will have huge repercussions. Already there are massive changes happening in the Arctic regions and the climate seems to be permanently altered, with huge ice storms traveling all the way down into the US all the way down to Florida, while Alaska is enjoying record warm days. The weather is actually warmer in Alaska than the Midwest and Eastern US on many days in the winter now.

THE TOTAL VOLUME OF SUMMER ARCTIC SEA ICE HAS DECLINED BY 80% AND IS SUFFERING FROM AN ACCELERATING MELT RATE


The rate of ice loss in the Arctic is staggering. Since 1979, the volume of Summer Arctic sea ice has declined by more than 80% and accelerating faster than scientists believed it would, or even could melt. 

Based on the rate of change of volume over the last 30 years, the first ice-free summer day in the Arctic Ocean (defined as having less than 1 million km² of sea ice) will happen between 2016 and 2022, and thereafter occur more regularly with the trend of ice-free duration extending into August and October.

AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION - EXPLORING FIVE MYTHS ABOUT ARCTIC SEA ICE

Brendan Kelly PhD Assistant Professor for Arctic Studies talks about five myths about Arctic Sea Ice and hosts a panel discussion about these myths.

GRAPH OF ARCTIC ICE VOLUME SHRINKING AND VARIOUS FUTURE PREDICTIONS BASED ON CURRENT MELT RATES ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON; WHAT IS THAT?



The above chart shows both models (best case to worst case) as well as actual measurements (in black) of arctic sea ice in volume, plus projections into the future, if nothing changes.

The black line is going down faster than the models predict, which means the negative changes are accelerating, not staying on a gradual downward course. Things are getting worse, FASTER and FASTER.

ANTARCTIC GLACIERS ARE RETREATING AND SHRINKING 


Forty years of data don't care whether or not some people oppose the 97 percent of scientists who agree that humans are causing global warming. The latest findings from West Antarctica are based on direct observations of retreating glaciers, not computer models or climate projections. The study concludes that West Antarctica's six biggest glaciers are shrinking back into deep valleys with no ridges or mountains to halt the rapid pace. (Here's where a volcano might actually help!) And no amount of global warming or cooling, save a new ice age, will make a dent in the retreat.

The above graphic that goes back 2,000 years, shows the extreme changes happening in geological time scales, showing how out of the normal scheme of things this rapid melting is today.

SEA ICE THICKNESS IS DECREASING GLOBALLY



The above chart shows ice thickness over time. Notice how almost all of the ice in all locations of the Arctic is showing thinning ice, from close to 4 meters, down to as low as .7 meters.

This 'science' is being documented by Eskimos, who report that the ocean ice is thinning to the point where it is now dangerous to go out on, where they never had to worry about that before.

35,000 WALRUS CROWD ONTO BEACH DUE TO LOSS OF ALL ICE THAT THEY NORMALLY REST ON; ICE IS COMPLETELY GONE

35,000 walruses beach together in non natural setting. They are supposed to be on ice out on the ocean. Due to lack of ice because of global warming and climate changes, they are now forced to gather on land, where they are more subject to becoming victims from predators and hunters.

Normally, walrus stay out on the ice, even for breeding and birthing their young. But when all of the ice disappears, they are forced to go ashore and that is happening more and more frequently. For much more detail on walruses and how they are being negatively affected by all of these changes, click on;

TED TALK - AN ARTISTIC AND PHOTOGRAPHIC TOUR THROUGH THE ARCTIC


Glaciers all over the world are losing ground. They are not only shrinking, they are also melting faster and faster, while also increasing in speed, at an accelerating pace over time. The global glacier melting process is not slowing down or stopping, it is accelerating.

Despite a large amount of ice in these glaciers, they will not cause much sea level rise. It is the melting of the ice off of huge land masses such as Greenland and the Antarctic that will cause massive ocean level rises in the longer term.

SUMMARY; THE SOLUTIONS ARE ALL THERE, READY AND WAITING FOR US


Bottom line, the odds are stacked against humanity, because the 1% has taken over many levers of power and control, and for selfish short term reasons of profit and power, they will not let the truth be known.

The answers are all there. We can switch off all carbon fuel sources via an emergency global Marshal Plan. We need to stop using all wood, oil, coal, gas, propane, natural gas, nuclear, diesel, and gasoline.

The solution (if it is not too late already) is to implement and switch over to hydrogen powered everything, in addition to solar, wind, water, tides, waves, geothermal and other zero carbon fuels. 

We can do this as a global community. Even if the odds are stacked 100 to 1 against us, isn't it worth trying? Haven't you ever rooted for the underdog? Well, the underdog now is the whole world, and the evil, despicable people who are destroying the whole world and all life on it are only 1% of the total. So if the 99% really get mad and won't take it anymore, what chance have they got? Bottom line it is all up to us, you and me.

What is the take away? Unless humanity stops the carbon monopoly from dominating the political landscape and figures out a way to make a huge, fast, paradigm shift away from carbon fuels and into carbon free renewables such as hydrogen, water, wind, geothermal and more, it looks like humanity is on a global suicide path. Instead of slowing down, the speed towards this suicide is increasing. There is still hope, but time is running out fast, and the odds of success are dropping by the day.

WHAT YOU CAN DO!

VOTE! 

Vote for Green Party or any candidate that does not take corporate money and who is not a billionaire, if nothing else, as they will make the green revolution happen. Just voting for the major two parties changes nothing.


Not voting allows the status quo to stay in place.

Don't vote for the 'lesser evil'.
