Earth on Fire: The Overheating Planet

NOTE ON POPULAR POSTS

The reason some popular posts are tagged ‘no title’ is not because they have no title—they all do—but because the old Blogger embedded the title at the top of text, and the new software does not see that. You can see the titles in capitals at the start of each snippet. (It would be nice if Blogger introduced an upgrade program that could fix this little problem.)

HE IS RIGHT--WE HAVE WRECKED IT

It's too late to stop climate-change, is the headline, he says what this blog has been saying for years, and he is right on every point. With our gross chronic stupidity we have wrecked the only planet we can live on in the entire universe (even if there were an Earth 2, we cannot reach it--Star Trek is fiction, and even if it were not, we could not move seven billion people).

WEST ANTARCTIC MELT IS UNSTOPPABLE

A study by NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory has concluded that the melting of a section of the West Antarctic icesheet is unstoppable. It has passed the point of no-return, and will contribute at least 1.2 metres to global sea-levels.

And 400 kilometres down the rock is pushing upward at a rapid clip as the weight of ice under the Antarctic reduces.

SNAILS ALREADY DISSOLVING IN THE OCEAN

A harbinger of things to come: 'An increasingly acidified Pacific Ocean is dissolving the shells of tiny marine snails that live along North America’s western coast. The broad finding, which has surprised some researchers, suggests that sea life is already being affected by changes in the ocean’s chemistry caused by rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere', reports Science.
