Climate Change = The End Of The World!

- is it too late to stop destruction of the planet?

Climate change is real and a legitimate threat to the planet. If you don’t think so, read on…

Current Events :
It snowed in Los Angeles on Friday. SNOWED — in sunny California. Let’s start there. For Southern Californians who barely see rain and are used to 75-degree weather on average, the surprise weather change was apocalyptic and a clear sign that it’s time to finally consider the severity of climate change.

If you’ve never given climate change much consideration and have taken the environment for granted, you’re not alone. Most people have somehow convinced themselves that the way the planet is today is the way it will always be. WRONG!

The truth is (and this is especially for conservative climate change deniers) climate change is so out of control, we’ve already almost run out of time to reverse it and save the planet. Or, to put it bluntly, those experimental flights to Mars may be necessary sooner than we think.

Climate Change

Snow in Los Angeles. No snow with mild temperatures in New York City all winter. Freezing temperatures in Florida. These are all signals that the planet is becoming too warm, which is a far more legitimate threat to human life than most know.

For example, Antarctica and Greenland are home to the 2 largest ice sheets on earth. In fact, they extend more than 6 million square miles combined. Sadly, those ice sheets are melting at a rapid pace. However, what would happen if those ice sheets were to completely melt?

In Europe, Brussels and Venice would each go underwater. In Asia, residents of Mumbai, Beijing, and Tokyo would be forced to move inland because their cities would be drowned. South America would instantly lose Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. In Africa and the Middle East, Dakar, Accra, and Jeddah would all become nothing more than memories.

Climate Change

In the US, Houston, San Francisco, New York City, and the entire state of Florida would slowly disappear into the sea. We could also say goodbye to Philadelphia and the famous Bourbon St. in New Orleans.

According to a National Geographic estimate, the sea levels would rise 216 feet. In short, this would mean the world map would be completely remade and the planet would be decimated.

Researchers in the U.S., U.K., and Germany discovered a few years ago that unless we change our ways, our dependency on fossil fuels could completely melt the Antarctic ice sheet.

“This would not happen overnight, but the mind-boggling point is that our actions today are changing the face of planet Earth as we know it and will continue to do so for tens of thousands of years to come,” said Ricarda Winkelmann, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.

“If we want to stop this from happening,” she added, “we need to keep coal, gas, and oil in the ground.”

Smithsonian: Two major glaciers in Antarctica may be shedding ice faster now than they have at any point in the past 5,500 years, new research suggests. The melting ice could lead to more than 11 feet of global sea level rise in the next several centuries, according to a new study published in Nature Geoscience. “Our work suggests that these vulnerable glaciers were relatively stable during the past millennia, yet their current rate of melting is accelerating and raising global sea level,” says coauthor Dylan Rood from Imperial College London in a statement. “These currently elevated rates of ice melting may signal that those vital arteries from the heart of West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) have burst, leading to accelerating flow into the ocean that is potentially disastrous for future global sea level in a warming world.” Scientists studied both the Thwaites Glacier (nicknamed the “Doomsday Glacier” for the potentially… Read more »

Thanks for this DJ. This is an incredibly important topic!

Yes, global warming IS real. And you’d better believe, Climate Change is real too!

I have believed it since looong BEFORE wintry weather hit Southern Cali this past weekend. But having it hit Southern Cali certainly helps to solidify my belief even more.

My belief is based on Factual information that I’ve read from different credible resources over the years, as well as real-life climate changes that We’ve definitely been experiencing in my neck of the woods (PA) since at least 1999, when I first noticed a real change in our winter.

The info DJ shared concerning Antarctica and Greenland – that is based on factual research data. And frankly ALL of the evidence that’s out there now should concern Every human-being who possesses even the slightest bit of intelligence.

We used to have REAL winters in my region! Since before I was born until well into my adulthood it was normal to have major snow storms, blizzards and ice-storms darn near back-to-back-to back Every winter season, which ran from mid-to-late Nov. to the end of March even into April at times. However, the winter of 1998 or 99, was the first time I noticed something strange happening! The birds which had flown South for the winter (as they always do) suddenly began returning way too early! They always returned in the Spring. But that winter they came back in Feb., which would normally still be the dead of winter for Us. Honestly, it was so warm at the time that I joked I was pretty sure I saw birds returning wearing sunshades…lol Then I quickly caught myself and realized….hey, wait a minute! Something’s NOT right! Why are the birds… Read more »

Long story-short: With the exception of maybe 2 winter seasons, since 1997, we really have not had anywhere near the winter seasons we used to have.

And even those 2 winter season fell well short of the amounts of snowfall and other wintry weather conditions we used to experience!

Currently we’re still in the “winter” season up here – and March is always “ify” so who knows(?) We could get hit with at least one major snowstorm this winter.

But right now we’re on track to end this month as one of the warmest Februarys on record for Us, in over 100 yrs of tracking our weather.

Mr.BD

Okay now that is some scary stuff when you put it in perspective. The fact whole states could get covered up in water should make everybody want to make a change. Thans for talking about this DJ.

Mr.BD

Also anybody that says it could never happen is not paying attention.

BD, right-wingers, in particular, are afraid of anything and everything they can’t control. I suspect that deep down inside, many, if not most of them DO know these threats are real.

They simply cannot handle the reality of having to deal with it…whatever “it” is. So they choose to ignore OR pretend that “it” either can’t happen or doesn’t exist (see their fear of -and refusal to- get the Covid vaccine and/or wear a mask to protect them from a deadly virus).
