[Risk Expert tells the Truth about Climate @MarkCranfield_]

James Hansen: "Eventual global warming due to today's GHG forcing alone - after slow feedbacks operate - is about 10°C."

1,100 billion tonnes of human CO2 already in the atmosphere *weighs more than everything on Earth built by humans* and heats this planet to ~6°C. The other GHGs add a further ~4°C.

There is no way to get the GHGs including CO2 that weighs more than everything on Earth made by humans out of the air. Even if there was a way, there is no time.

Regardless of future emissions, concentrations of GHGs will continue to rise for centuries, with CO2 possibly peaking at double or even triple today's level.

This is because of the extreme sensitivity of amplifying feedbacks to the direct warming effect of human GHGs.

At today's level of 560ppm CO2-equivalent, the direct GHG warming effect of 1°C eventually causes an additional 9°C of warming by feedbacks.

Although it will take centuries and millennia for the Earth to fully adjust humanity's explosion of GHGs, a majority of the remaining ~9°C equilibrium warming can be expected to occur over the next 100 years.

@NewsHour Kidnapping the Democratically elected President Mosaddegh, and installing a puppet shah of Iran, didn’t work out.

Contracting Saddam Hussein to wage war on Iran, for almost a decade, didn’t work out either.

Now the powers that be are at it again.

@oldcanadaseries No jive about five give me four.

@cultmtl No, no. Jeff’s great, we love him.

Remember the innocent journey everyone?

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

.@elonmusk is trying to rig the midterms for Republicans because he knows if Democrats retake either chamber of Congress, they will subpoena him to testify under oath about the endless disaster that was “DOGE” and his public confessions of interfering in the 2024 election.

🚨BREAKING: Senator Josh Hawley says “innocent people don’t plead the Fifth” when describing Dr. Fauci’s testimony.

Here’s the video of Donald Trump pleading the Fifth 400 times during his civil fraud trial.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Ask yourself why the sudden obsession with Fauci now, all in lock step? What are they trying to distract from now? The shitshow in Iran? The economic decline at home? Still no full Epstein files? Trump’s corruption?

@atrupar With everything going on, this witch hunt is what consumes them? Surely this is a decoy.

[Bill McGuire @ProfBillMcGuire]

Just watched the @BBC 10 O'clock news

Two stories - one on the Suffolk wildfire and another on the countrywide Welsh drought - with not a SINGLE mention of the climate

Just beyond belief

@m72953176 @USATODAY Invermectin you mean? Blaming Fauci for the virus? Put down the koolaid.

@cultmtl He’s an Avatar. Who is pulling the strings and to what end?

[Long Haired Bastard @HairedBastard]

@cultmtl Why would he start now? Never has before.

[Long Haired Bastard @HairedBastard]

@m72953176 @USATODAY Trump claimed Covid was a hoax. He said it would all be other by November 6th. Election day.

Over 7 million confirmed deaths worldwide, the real number likely much higher.

Had it hit as hard as the Spanish flu at least 50 million.

Erring on the side of caution isn’t a crime.

MASS MEDIA SHRUG AS CAPITALISM ENDS HOPES OF LIVEABLE FUTURE: "The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said emissions have to peak before 2025 and drop sharply"

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

As Trump’s illegal war with Iran enters its sixth month, millions of Americans are still paying the price, and our servicemembers’ lives remain at risk.

Although support for the resolution was bipartisan, more Republicans must join the demand for an end to the war.

We will continue to force these votes and hold members of Congress accountable.
