One billion people will live in insufferable heat within 50 years!!!

Our corrupt Australian government is giving the city people what they want today, at the cost of our children's lives tomorrow!!!

Are you all going to sit on the fence & let this happen, or are you going to rise up & take control?

The human cost of the climate crisis will hit harder, wider and sooner than previously believed, according to a study that shows a billion people will either be displaced or forced to endure insufferable heat for every additional 1C rise in the global temperature.

In a worst-case scenario of accelerating emissions, areas currently home to a third of the world’s population will be as hot as the hottest parts of the Sahara within 50 years, the paper warns. Even in the most optimistic outlook, 1.2 billion people will fall outside the comfortable “climate niche” in which humans have thrived for at least 6,000 years.

The authors of the study said they were “floored” and “blown away” by the findings because they had not expected our species to be so vulnerable.

Guest viewpoint: Peter Kraneveld - Fiduciary duty and global warming

If humanity fails to prevent irreversible global warming, the consequences are not yet fully modeled, but they already look terrifying to unacceptable. To a large extent, the consequences are threefold: freak weather events and events linked to weather changes, a rise of the ocean water level and threats to food security.

They will cause huge numbers of deaths, from babies and the retired dying from heat, to the victims of country-wide wildfires, storms and flooding.

Climate Change Emergency is Real. Our very lives depend on us acting NOW!!!

This was Wychwood Forest some years ago, now it is dying. There is no longer any green grass & the wildlife is suffering. The trees are literally dieing from the heat & the lack of rain. On top of this we are now threatened by catastrophic bushfires. All this is caused by human made climate change. 

Long before the cattle industry, the world was populated with large numbers of ruminants, but the world seemed to have no issues with methane. American plains Africa and other continents had millions of buffalo, so how & when did the problem arise?

The world was a different place back then, large grassy plains managed by the indigenous peoples, huge wide spread forests, & healthy oceans. All these were producing oxygen & absorbing methane/Co2.

Then came the industrial revolution & the invasion of America & Australia. The industrial revolution marks the time steam engines were invented & coal was being burnt for energy. The invasions killed off many of the indigenous peoples & changed their lifestyles for ever. The grassy plains were no longer being managed to produce more green grass for the wildlife, now it was overrun by cattle & sheep. The forests were being logged for timber & destroyed & cleared to make more land for settlement & farming. The oceans lasted a little longer, but eventually humans also managed to pollute & contaminate with radio active waste, oil spills, garbage disposal, & single use plastics.

The herds of herbivores were mostly killed off & replaced with cattle & sheep in far greater numbers. The world was/is no longer green & the carbon dioxide levels rose & the oxygen levels in the oceans reduced. Now we have human made climate change, which is further destroying our forests through creating catastrophic conditions for bushfires. We have the internal combustion engine churning out Co2 into the atmosphere. We have coal burning electricity plants churning out more Co2 into our atmosphere. The planet is warming which is melting the ice & the permafrost. Melting ice has created black water which absorbs more heat. Melting permafrost is releasing more carbon into the atmosphere & releasing long buried pathogens & viruses.

Our world can no long keep up with the massive production of Co2 from livestock & other sources. The planet will survive when most, if not all humans have died due to climate change.

The world's people, the Australian people, need to act now. If they do not take control of this human made climate change situation, then we may all quite possibly die in a mass extinction event!!! This is NOT paranoia, this is NOT sensationalising, this is NOT bullshit! This is REAL! If the people wait for someone else to fix this, they are going to find themselves trying to survive TEOTWAWKI, & after that possibly a mass extinction!

I have done all I can through popular media channels to warn the population about climate change global warming, apart from preparing my own home in the forest off grid to help my children & grandchildren survive, there is nothing else that I can do. You NEED to take control of your lives, you NEED to take control of climate change by stopping the burning of fossil fuels, & by stopping the logging & destruction of our native forests & woodlands. Your future & your children's future depends on it!!!

Climate Change Survival Here & Now!

The sun going down yesterday, it looked the same coming up this morning.

Climate Change Survival Here & Now!

Whilst the climate change skeptics & deniers carry on with their normal lives completely oblivious to what is happening in the rest of the world, people like myself face each day with trepidation.  It is still spring time here in New England NSW Australia, yet the temperature outside yesterday was 45 degrees, 35 degrees in the shade, that is far hotter than our normal summer temperatures here. Not far away there are catastrophic bushfires, & we are enveloped in smoke, so much so that even without the extreme heat I could not work outside.

Cattail Pond is barely visible through the smoke from the bushfires.

We have had to change our gardening methods; everything now must be under shade cloth to stop it from burning. Unfortunately that does not stop the possums from eating our garden due to the fact that they are suffering from a shortage of food in the forest. Our forest trees are dying rapidly, Cattail Pond is almost dry, & we are running low on drinking water in our tanks. Frankly I find this all pretty scary, I have fought raiders & bushfires in the past, I have been attacked by feral dogs, wild bulls, buffalo, wild boar & people, but none of that was as daunting to me as climate change is now, because to be honest, I have no idea whether or not we can survive this!

The people should be out on the streets protesting this, & although I know many actually are, there are simply not enough to make any difference. I honestly think that in the not too distant future there will be more people protesting, & I think that these protests will no longer be peaceful. I think that just like in Japan right now, these protests are going to turn very violent. Unfortunately it too will not make any difference, because our corrupt Australian government has too much invested in mining/drilling/fracking, burning & selling fossil fuels. They are perfectly prepared to see climate change cause TEOTWAWKI & then possibly a mass extinction event just for their own short term monetary gain.

That makes no sense? No it doesn’t, I have no idea where they think they will be able to spend their money. I suppose they must have plans in place, a doomsday bunker, or perhaps first a move overseas where the climate is not quite so bad as in Australia. Have they no concerns for their children & their grandchildren? It would appear not, just like the cigarette tobacco executives, so long as they are making money they will lie to the public regarding the dangers & perhaps even allow their own children to smoke!

So what can we do as a minority? Well nothing I guess. The only thing we can do is prepare for what is coming. Make plans for leaving the city when things get really bad, better still leave the city now & live off grid. But even living off grid is no guarantee of survival. We can’t live without water, the nearest town to me has already run out of water, & the nearest small city is on water restrictions with no rain forecast for at least the next six months. Is that going to be six months of 45 degrees of heat?! Yesterday I spoke for the first time to my wife about the possibility of having to move from Australia, I mean if we are getting conditions like this in New England, then where else in Australia would it be any better? Maybe something will happen; perhaps the winds of change will blow something else our way. Perhaps TEOTWAWKI will be survivable & this will be the end of fossil fuels in Australia. Perhaps.

Take care out there & keep prepping.
Keith.

Climate Change, is this a sign that we have reached the point of no return?!

Across the Arctic, lakes are releasing Greenhouse Gasses & one lake is acting very strange!
