“Top Climate Scientist: Humans Will Go Extinct if We Don’t Fix Climate Change by 2023

A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.In a recent speech at the University of Chicago, James Anderson — a professor of atmospheric chemistry at Harvard University — warned that climate change is drastically pushing Earth back to the Eocene Epoch from 33 million BCE, when there was no ice on either pole. Anderson says current pollution levels have already catastrophically depleted atmospheric ozone levels, which absorb 98 percent of ultraviolet rays, to levels not seen in 12 million years.”

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, …. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

George Orwell, 1984

In 1974, the National Academy of Sciences showed that the 1930s were very warm in the Northern Hemisphere, and there was almost 0.75C cooling through the end of the 1960s. But the warmth from 1890 to the mid-1950s has since been erased.

“So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 degC,
then this would be significant for the global mean — but
we’d still have to explain the land blip.

It would be good to remove at least part of the 1940s blip,
but we are still left with “why the blip”.”

I asked ChatGPT to generate some graphs of climate data.

Experts say Fort Lauderdale is drowning, but satellite imagery doesn’t provide any support for that idea.

“It’s a scary thought: Sea levels rising by as much as 2 feet, swallowing up land, homes and everything else not on high ground.

It could happen as soon as 2060, experts say.”

The Titanic sank on April 14, 1912, largely due to a dramatic shift in weather patterns more than two years earlier.

During the summer of 2012, Arctic experts announced the imminent collapse of Arctic sea ice.  Extent has increased 24% since then.

Greenland’s Petermann Glacier has grown almost ten miles since experts announced its demise in 2012.

The Titanic sank on April 14, 1912, largely due to the weather in 1910 and 1911.  The warmest March on record in the US occurred in March 1910

This occurred shortly before Earth passed through the tail of Halley’s Comet

The US went into severe drought for seventeen months.

This led to the largest wildfire in US history during August 1910

“On August 20 hurricane-force winds swept through the region and fanned embers and low flames back to life all across the Northern Rockies. There was no stopping or containing the fire; one could only hope to avoid it. Trains raced to evacuate towns just ahead of the flames. Forester Edward G. Stahl recalled that flames hundreds of feet high were “fanned by a tornadic wind so violent that the flames flattened out ahead, swooping to earth in great darting curves, truly a veritable red demon from hell.” In the same instant that towns and timber alike perished, heroes were made, legends were born, and history changed forever.”
