“WASHINGTON — The overall temperature of the Earth rose sharply this year, signaling the beginning of the “greenhouse effect” and significantly increasing the likelihood of droughts and heatwaves in the Southeast and Midwest, a NASA scientist told the Senate.”

The most severe drought in the Midwest occurred in July 1934, and the wettest period was January 2020.

“Sinking atolls
I hate to put this so bluntly, but in all probability nothing can save the Pacific island of Tuvalu. Like a slowly boiling kettle, the oceanic system has very long response time to changing conditions, and the seas will go on slowly rising for centuries even if all greenhouse gas emissions stopped tomorrow. With Tuvalu already experiencing regular flooding events due to past sea level rise-as I documented in High Tide-this extra rise in the world’s oceans will sound the death knell for this fascinating and lively island society.”

Tuvalu is growing.
“Here we present analysis of shoreline change in all 101 islands in the Pacific atoll nation of Tuvalu. Using remotely sensed data, change is analysed over the past four decades, a period when local sea level has risen at twice the global average (~3.90?±?0.4?mm.yr?1). Results highlight a net increase in land area in Tuvalu of 73.5?ha (2.9%)”
“Over the next several decades, the Western United States and the semi-arid region from North Dakota to Texas will develop semi-permanent drought”

“I do not wish to seem overdramatic, but 1 can only conclude from the information that is available to me as Secretary General, that the Members of the United Nations have perhaps ten years left in which to subordinate their ancient quarrels and launch a global partnership to curb the arms race, to improve the human environment, to defuse the population explosion, and to supply the required momentum to development efforts. If such a global partnership is not forged within the next decade, then I very much fear that the problems I have mentioned will have reached such staggering proportions that they will be beyond our capacity to control.”

“The Common Enemy or Humanity Is Man
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”

“Exhaled human breath can contain small, elevated concentrations of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which contribute to global warming. “
