Just one example of what can happen with human forced rapid climate change: Taiwan Diverts Water From Farmers to Chip Makers Amid Historic Drought wrote: A new irrigation policy that favors Taiwan's chipmakers over its rice farmers has led to increased tension between the two, ... as the country attempts to respond to a water shortage caused by an ongoing drought. Note the use of the description "Historic". This ain't happened before... How fast and how extreme do we want our pollution driven climate change?...

Thanks for that. Excellent for how it shows what it shows. ... What is shown is just one example amongst a repeated many... But how do we get such real word visual impact to impact the blindly destructively greedy?

Meanwhile, irrationally, fossil fuels corruption continues: China 'can save $1.6 trillion by scrapping coal', report says wrote: China can save up to $1.6 trillion (£1.2 trillion) over 20 years by switching from coal power to renewables, a report says. So how do we move away from the very dirty 'get rich quick and the future be damned'?

Looks like some people are beginning to see the problems I saw a year or so ago. Lithium shortage may unplug electric car revolution Original https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/04/19/lithium-shortage-may-unplug-electric-car-revolution/ but has a paywall. and did I mention cobalt, copper, nickel and zinc are also in short supply unless a lot more dirty mining and smelting starts soon. |

... and did I mention cobalt, copper, nickel and zinc are also in short supply unless a lot more dirty mining and smelting starts soon. Which is where we have great riches in recycling the stuff we have already mined!... We also need to move on from the Marketing of deliberately limited lifetime products that are designed to be 'disposed' of rather than maintained, all in the name of 'fashion' and non-upgradable 'progress'. As always, a healthy balance needs to be made. But how and when and soon enough??

recycling the stuff we have already mined! What stuff we have already mined? Less than 10% of all global cars are electric in any shape or form. |

Yet another inconvenient truth that the fossil fuels industry greedily and desperately will kill to hide? The Longest Running US Oil Spill You've Never Heard Of wrote: When Hurricane Ivan knocked over an offshore oil platform off the coast of Louisiana in 2004, oil started leaking into the Gulf of Mexico... And the oil company has hired lawyers and issued dire threats so as to have the oil spill cleanup stopped?!... Only in the USA?

Yet another inconvenient truth that the fossil fuels industry greedily and desperately will kill to hide? Also elsewhere in the world for the deadly greedy profit of the USA: The World's Worst Oil Related Disaster You've Never Heard Of wrote: Deep in the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador lies the "Amazon Chernobyl", a 1,700-square-mile environmental disaster brought on by oil extraction and production ... From my view, totally gratuitous and very messy and very deadly. Deadly, deadly corrupt, and on-going.

https://science.sciencemag.org/content/372/6542/560 A group of whistleblowers has asked three funding agencies for a misconduct investigation into a series of 22 research papers, many of them on the effects of ocean acidification on fish behavior and ecology. The request, which they shared with a Science reporter, rests on what they say is evidence of manipulation in publicly available raw data files for two papers, one published in Science, the other in Nature Climate Change, combined with remarkably large and "statistically impossible" behavioral effects from carbon dioxide reported in many of the other papers. |

Figures don't lie; but, liars can figure. Lots of people have made their careers or gotten wealthy over what amounts to a false religion that we can't and won't do anything about. |

Quite a contrast between supporting going good and clean vs continuing the dirty pollution: Major project aims to clear clean energy hurdle wrote: ... A group of leading nations will invest $248m over the next decade ... The effort has emerged from a clean-tech research programme called Mission Innovation (MI). A small move that in reality promotes yet more procrastination to allow more time for more pollution from fossil fuels? Whilst Nero watches our planet burn...

The world is supposedly yet not dangerously endangered enough, yet? Really?! G7 summit: How significant are group's climate pledges? wrote: The world's rich nations which caused the climate crisis know what's expected of them - but they consistently fail to deliver in full. We've been forever procrastinating cleaning up our climate pollution since the problem was noticed and anticipated back in the days of President Nixon! How far over the cliff edge, Wile-e-Coyotee style do we go for Bugs Bunny and Road Runner to then have the last laugh?! That's All Folks!

Well, it's official. As I have said previously, the UK is not in a position to go all electric by 2050 as the government decreed. http://www.samfordcrimson.com/20210616-britain-faces-catastrophic-power-cuts-as-electricity-begins-to-run-everything-from-cars-to-boilers.html Britain faces catastrophic power cuts because of an increasing reliance on electricity to run everything from cars to home boilers, the Committee on Climate Change has warned. |
