Doomsday Clock is now 100 seconds from midnight !!!
The hypothetical clock measures our nearness to Armageddon.
Heat waves, ice
loss, fires
2019 also brought alarming new evidence of climate change's momentum,
and demonstrated its destructive power. In fact, humanity's
disruption of climate on land and in the oceans is
"unprecedented," according to a report released in September
2019 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United
Nations body that evaluates the impacts of climate change.
Globally, the year was the
second hottest since record keeping began in 1880, and the past decade
was the warmest on record, NASA reported earlier this month. July 2019 smashed
records as the
hottest month ever recorded on Earth, after a sweltering heat
wave baked
countries across Europe and then flowed
over Greenland, where it melted 217 billion tons (197 billion metric
tons) of ice.
Ocean
temperatures are warmer than they've been at any point in human
history, and they're heating up at an accelerating rate. The world's
thickest mountain glacier is retreating, the
Sahara Desert expanded by about 10%, and the Arctic's most stable
sea ice is disappearing.
Severe drought in Australia, also linked to climate change, fueled
devastating brushfires that blazed across the continent over recent
months. The flames destroyed thousands of homes, damaged fragile ecosystems and
killed an estimated 1.25 billion animals, according
to the World Wildlife Fund.
And the majority of the worlds people bury their heads in the sand for the sake of keeping their jobs & their city lifestyles for just a little longer. What is it going to take if we are to stop global anthropogenic global warming & climate change? A revolution? Civil war? A world war?
Corrupt governments are NOT going to stop global warming, they are busy thinking about the economy, votes, lining their own pockets with bribes from the fossil fuel industries! We are now at just 100 seconds from midnight people, how long do you think before we reach the environmental point of no return? How long before the clock strikes 12 Midnight !!!
There will not be any bloody economy, no jobs & no cushy city lifestyles in a dead world, wake up people we are running out of time fast, literally!!!

Dire warning that coronavirus could infect billions of people
The chief of the World Health Organisation has urged countries to
work together against the "grave
threat" posed by the coronavirus outbreak as an expert revealed
there was potential for billions across the world to be infected by the deadly
virus.
The WHO is holding a conference in Geneva on combating the virus,
which has killed more than 1100 people in China and spread to dozens of
countries around the world.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said viruses could have
"more powerful consequences than any terrorist action".

Anthropogenic Global Warming & the Garden!
Last year was pretty much a disaster, & this year has started in the same vein. The leaves of vegies burning in the sun, losing much of our fruit due to a warm winter, then the drought & running low on water & then the threat of bushfires. So, we have been making changes in the garden. We know that anthropogenic global warming is going to get worse, so we are preparing for the present & hopefully the future. Our grandchildren may not survive global warming, but hopefully we can help them survive teotwawki.
One of our galvo water tanks up at the cottage was leaking, so I cut it into three sections & made three raised garden beds. Whilst cleaning up the cottage garden area one of my sons decided to get rid of the old water tanks being used to store firewood, so that has produced another three raised garden beds. A small tank that I was thinking of repairing also got converted into two more smaller raised garden beds because we decided to install two more new 1000 gallon water tanks for the garden. We used to pump water from the big dam for the gardens at the cottage & the main house, but for the first time in 30 odd years, this dam became almost dry. We decided to preserve what was left for the local wildlife & for fire fighting if needs be. Fortunately though the fires were all around us & we were enveloped in heavy smoke for weeks, the fires never reached our forest.
Five tank raised garden beds & the sand pit for our grandchildren.
The first raised garden bed I made from old roofing iron & four posts.
My second design for a raised garden bed using pallets cut in half & old roofing iron.
The latest raised garden bed additions, smaller but still useful. The advantages of these raised garden beds is that I think they will retain moisture better, they are easier to shade, easier to weed if needed, the bed is better secured & can not spread onto the paths, & it keeps the ducks out!!!
Well it's a bird bath right? And I am a bird right?
One new water tank on the left installed, we are still waiting on the second one to arrive. Since the drought everyone has been ordering more water tanks.
Keith.

Why Clouds Are the Key to New Troubling Projections on Warming!!!
Recent climate models project that a doubling of atmospheric CO2
above pre-industrial levels could cause temperatures to soar far above previous
estimates. A warming earth, researchers now say, will lead to a loss of clouds,
allowing more solar energy to strike the planet.

The Australian Government puts a price on our heads for stopping Global Warming, & we are NOT worth the cost!!!
You would think that ensuring the survival of the human race is
something you can't put a price on, but one of the reasons that governments
aren't always keen to take action on Anthropological Global Warming & climate change is the economic costs of doing so!
https://www.sciencealert.com/fighting-climate-change-isn-t-cheap-but-the-alternatives-cost-much-more
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.
