Great Caesar’s Ghost

Submitted by ub on

Great Caesar’s Ghost was a phrase the fictional editor-in-chief of the Metropolis newspaper the Daily Planet said when he was shocked. Newsman Clark Kent, aka Superman, worked for Mr. White, who always maintained high ethical and journalistic standards as an archetypal image of a tough, irascible but fair-minded boss.

However, this time Superman may not be able to help and this is not fiction, folks we may have problems with climate change and you should consider the following as a warning of super proportions.

Wake up, America... Aren't you sick and tired of all the lies? Have you had it with the #Trump shouting factory? Are you looking for a more civil place to learn about the big important issue of climate change? There is no soft way to peddle this, so let us just give it to you straight and gracefully. We're all going to die if we keep listening to that guy.

Our Future In Doubt

This is not meant to scare any of us to death, but it really should. Air pollution is the greatest environmental risk to the health of our time, and #ClimateChange is the greatest public health threat of the 21st century.

Every day 1.8 billion children breathe polluted air putting their health and development at serious risk. In 2016, 600 000 children died from acute lower respiratory infections caused by polluted air.

Climate Change Dangers

This is not a wake-up call. The whole world should now be aware of the single most threatening issue facing our planet. Planet earth has only until 2030 to stem catastrophic climate change or else we're all doomed.

Climate change is the statistical distribution of weather patterns for an extended period of time. Also known as global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects, as part of climate change. Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming.

A Long Hot Summer

This Summer could bring record-breaking hot weather. NYC experienced scorching temperatures and multiple records could tumble if the heatwave continues.

If the rest of the season remains above average, NOAA says it is likely to at the very least make it into the warmest summers ever.

The heat continues to bake the US, making it the third warmest June on record. Meanwhile, hurricane records from the Atlantic Ocean show phases of high and low activity that can last several decades at a time.

National Climate Assessment

The National Climate Assessment is prepared by our top scientists and is by far the largest, most comprehensive US-focused climate change report ever produced and gives in-depth look on climate change.

The findings point to humanity as the cause for this extreme weather pattern. Many independent lines of evidence demonstrate the world is warming and human activity is the primary cause.

Other changes flow from this warming, including melting of snow and ice, rising sea level, and increases in some types of extreme weather, such as extreme heat and heavy downpours.

Three Blind Mice

According to government scientists, earth's climate continues to change throughout history. In 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.

US Coal Shoulder

President Trump and his GOP co-conspirators are desperately trying to change the growing narrative of a criminal investigation, while world leaders are now pointing at crimes against nature.

Will air pollution trump a global necessity for clean air, pure drinking water? Should we hurry before time runs out? Try and catch the wind. https://youtu.be/J8hjEYTpwE8?list=RDJ8hjEYTpwE8

These following headlines tell the true story of the US giving the world a coal shoulder.
US exit from Paris agreement could open door for China to lead on climate change

USA TRIPLE THREAT

Submitted by Admin on

Almost half of the population of US, including our largest cities face serious floods caused by a “triple threat” of sea-level rise, storm surge and heavy rainfall, according to a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

The combination of these phenomena can potentially result in “compound flooding” that can devastate several low-lying, densely populated coastal areas inside the country.

This is the first scientific study to explore the connection between the primary and secondary effects of climate change. This means that without a drastic rise in sea levels, frequent severe floods and storms will bring the effects of climate change right into coastal cities, where nearly 40 percent of the American population now lives.

Since 1880, global temperatures have risen by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit. And, over the last 100 years, the global average sea level has risen by seven inches. This increase is likely to accelerate as Antarctica’s floating ice shelves continue to melt.
