Climate Change

{Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you
I only want you to have some fun}
I was dreamin’ when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin’, could’ve sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple, there were people runnin’ everywhere
Tryin’ to run from the destruction, you know I didn’t even care
Say say two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine
I was dreamin’ when I wrote this, so sue me if I go too fast
But life is just a party and parties weren’t meant to last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die I’m gonna listen to my body tonight
Yeah hey, they say two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine
Yeah, yeah, hey
People, let me tell you somethin’
If you didn’t come to party, don’t bother knockin’ on my door, oww
I got a lion in my pocket and baby he’s ready to roar, yeah hey
Everybody’s got a bomb, we could all die any day, oh
But before I let that happen, I’ll dance my life away, oh ho
They say two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
(We’re runnin’ out of time)
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine
(We gonna, we gonna, oh)
Say it one more time
Two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
(No, no)
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine
(We gonna, we gonna)
Alright, nineteen ninety-nine
You say it, nineteen ninety-nine
Mmm nineteen ninety-nine
(Oww, nineteen ninety-nine)
Don’t stop it, don’t stop it, say it one more time
Two thousand zero zero party over, oops out of time
(Yeah, yeah)
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine
(We gonna, we gonna, whoa)
Yeah, nineteen ninety-nine
Don’t you wanna go?
(Nineteen ninety-nine)
Don’t you wanna go?
(Nineteen ninety-nine)
We could all die any day
(Nineteen ninety-nine)
I don’t wanna die, I’d rather dance my life away
(Nineteen ninety-nine)
Listen to what I’m tryin’ to say
Everybody, everybody say party
Come on now, you say it party
That’s right, everybody say party
Can’t run from revelation, no
(Party)
Sing it for your nation, y’all
(Party)
(Ow!)
Dreamin’ when you’re singin’, baby
(Party)
Say the telephone a ringin’, mama, now
(Party)
Come on, come on, you say
(Party)
Everybody, two times
(Party)
(Ow!)
Work it down to the ground, I’m sayin’
(Party)
Oh baby, say it again
(Ooh hoo hoo)
(Party)
Oh, shake your body, baby!
(Party)
That’s right, come on, sing the song
(Party)
Ah aah ha
(Party)
That’s right
(Party)
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say
(Party)
Ah, and he’s ready to roar
(Party)
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?

This is basically why everyone says we have reached the “Point of No Return” on CC #Climatecrises

Global heating faster and faster, 2010-20 was the hottest decade on record 1.1 °C (WMO)
#TimeForAction #COP25 #Article6 #COP26 – #UNITEBEHINDTHESDGs

Unfortunately for stability and resilience of our planet requires much less climate sensitivity. Our immediate existence is in peril.

Yes it’s true, we have to accept to surrender to defeat. From here a curvy uncertain road in two directions, time is up what do you do?

Here it is; Explaining the cascade of tipping points in report, inter-connected #Climatedots:
Global common cascade of tipping points to be exceeded (triggered at low levels of global warming) even between 1 and 2 °C of warming breaking many planetary boundaries;

West Antarctica’s ‘grounding line’ where ice, ocean and bedrock meet is retreating irreversibly.

Greenland’s ice sheet to be doomed at 1.5 °C of heating, which to happen as soon as 2030.

The Arctic (warming at least twice as quick as the global average), indicating that, at 2 °C of heating, the region has a 10–35% chance of becoming largely ice-free in summer amplifying regional warming.

99% of tropical corals are projected to be lost if global average temperature rises by 2 °C.

Biosphere tipping points to trigger abrupt carbon release back to the atmosphere or strong cloud feedbacks to cause a unknown global key tipping point (a cloud-resolving model published this year suggests that the abrupt break-up of stratocumulus cloud (above about 1,200 parts per million of CO2) could have resulted in scary 8 °C of global heating), this will amplify climate change further.

The Amazon tipping point ranges from 40% deforestation to just 20% forest-cover loss.

Dieback of North American boreal forests, turning some regions from a carbon sink to a carbon source.

Permafrost across the Arctic is beginning to irreversibly thaw and release carbon dioxide and methane.

15% slowdown since the mid-twentieth century of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)!

 

The remaining emissions budget (#carbonbudget) to be all but erased already.

Humans strongly forcing the system, with atmospheric CO2 concentration and global temperature increasing at rates that are an order of magnitude.

 

Proof

#ClimateALARM: DO THE MATHS

E = R × U = p × D × τ / T

The situation is an emergency if both risk and urgency are high. If reaction time is longer than the intervention time left (τ / T > 1), we have lost control.

The report argue that the intervention time left to prevent tipping could already have shrunk towards zero, whereas the reaction time (τ) to achieve net zero emissions is 30 years at best. Have we already lost control of whether tipping happens?

 

The rate at which damaging tipping cascades accumulates from global mean surface temperature tipping are an order of magnitude.
