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!!!
