The horrific truth about a reality fast approaching is being discussed, with facts from various experts who have been keeping a close eye on climate change over the last century. If this video is deemed insufficient in raising awareness, then we are most probably doomed as primates on this planet, murdered by our own ignorance, stubbornness, indifference, and (I dare say it) sheer ignorant stupidity.

This is an issue that requires immediate attention. The simple observation that should get us all to react is:
FOSSIL FUELS ACCUMULATED OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS HAVE BEEN BURNT WITHIN A FEW CENTURIES. IT SEEMS LOGICAL THAT ITS EFFECT WAS GOING TO BE FELT IN A WAY OR ANOTHER. AND… THAT “WAY” IS GLOBAL WARMING and the increasing number of HORRIFIC and FLASH NATURAL CALAMITIES THAT HAVE TAKEN THE LIVES OF SO MANY UNSUSPECTING AND HELPLESS PEOPLE.

For once, we can all get together and move our people globally and help save our only habitat: PLANET EARTH.
Less than half of the public are aware that scientists have agreed on Global Warming & human-related causes, not to mention the urgency for global action and renewable sources to power the planet, innovate & pave the way for a new era of planet friendly technology, lifestyle, ethics & society.

This requires immediate attention from all of us: all the movers & shakers who take up space in the head & hearts of the masses (and more importantly), the younger generation. It’s hard to imagine feeding most with a load of writing and statistic will work, but the power of ART has so far proven to reach and shatter barriers many other communicative techniques fail at.
WE NEED TO START TAKING ACTION NOW!!!!
We won’t see it coming, it’s a gradual process, until maybe [one fine day], waves mile high start swallowing entire cities within minutes. The rising temperature will also kill many organisms leading to the starvation of other species that feed on them [the circle of life].
It is vital that we start working towards GREEN ENERGY and COOL DOWN Planet EARTH together before it’s too late. All of us, violets, purples, blacks , whites, greens, yellow, oranges, mauves (etc), presidents, prime ministers, dentists, footballers, singers, actors, taxi drivers, carpenters, architects, journalists, presenters, gym instructors, lecturers, kitchen workers, drivers, parents, fathers, mothers, teachers, cousins, nephews, everyone… humans made of flesh, who would love to see a future generation live, breathe, smile and ensure the healthy evolution of the human race.
PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES, WATCH & SHARE (And try not to forget it all over a some mind-crushing episodes of some insignificant sitcom, or a few glasses of wine with a friend, we will all disappear… UNLESS IMMINENT action is taken! Some think it’s already too late)
(My rashness at times might suggest my ever-growing concern over the matter – which I apologise for)
Guy McPherson is a Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology who chose to leave behind a life of academia and dedicate his work to saving our planet. However, his dedication alone will not suffice – we need to act, all of us RIGHT NOW. (The video below should be more than sufficient in convincing any leader (political to educational), and each & everyone of us [that CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL AND SLOWLY EXTERMINATING LIFE ON PLANET EARTH, one species at a time]
(You can find out more about Guy McPherson’s writings and research through his website http://guymcpherson.com)
Should Guy McPherson’s video not sound convincing to the one’s who’d rather trust their “gut” instinct and feel that CLIMATE COLLAPSE is all a government scam to start generating tax money; or environmentalists are just a bunch of egomaniacs bent on proving a point; then the video below should clear all doubt.
The video below shows Daniel Crawford from the University of Minnesota who converted all the CLIMATE CHANGE DATA from the last 130 years (collected from NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies). The conversion into a musical piece reflects what Guy McPherson and most environmentalists have been saying (and urging/begging authorities to take note) for the last century: THAT WE ARE PUSHING THE PLANET TO THE LIMITS OF GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL COLLAPSE.
And maybe it might be the struggle for survival that might unite us as the superior primates of earth and somehow incite us to re-evaluate the meaning (purpose) of existence. A lifetime well spent: What is it?
“I love my planet, and still have faith in humanity…”
By now I should think most of us would be convinced about the urgency of addressing climate collapse, yet if some want words even deeper and “realer” than real, below you’ll find one of the most honest, touching and real essays one might find from a scientist. It’s one from Guy McPherson’s “heart” and a scientist’s heart has so far rarely been one to write poems or love songs; yet this essay will address life, nature, purpose and the environmental importance & reality…
ONLY LOVE REMAINS by Guy McPherson

“Most people would say I’m not religious. I’m not spiritually religious, although I exhibit some behaviors in a religious manner. I refer to myself as a free-thinker, a skeptic, and occasionally an indifferent agnostic or a militant atheist. So the apparently spiritual title of this essay would seem out of character for those who know me. I’ll not wander down the road of… “[CLICK TO CONTINUE READING]

New Scientist | $1 Trillion A Year to stop harmful Climate Change
Extract:
“Saving our skins might be surprisingly cheap. To avoid dangerous climate change, the world needs to boost spending on green energy by $1 trillion a year. That sounds scarily large, but we could cover a lot of it using the subsidies currently handed to fossil fuels.
Governments have agreed to limit global warming to 2°C, because more than that may be impossible to adapt to. “We need to drastically transform our energy system,” says…”

“…but a female beetle can travel as far as 30 miles to find a pine tree, where its larvae can hatch and eat the inside of the bark. A throng of beetles can ravage a pine as tall as an eight-story building, as the tree first oozes sap, then its needles turn rusty red. In the past decade, in the pine forests that bristle across the U.S. West and Southwest, from Alaska to southern California, millions of acres of pines have died in one of the worst pine beetle epidemics anyone has ever seen…

RT | ‘Drug resistant’ bacteria found in British river
Extract:
“Scientists have found drug resistant super bugs downstream of a sewage treatment plant in the River Sowe near Coventry, media said.
The microbes contain mutated genes that are resistant even to the latest generation of antibiotics, the Independent reports.
The researchers said that sewage treatment plants are acting like giant “mixing vessels” where antibiotic resistance is spreading between microbes, which are then released into the environment.
A large number of microbes living in the river had a genetic mutation, which is known to provide resistance to third generation antibiotics or cephalosporins – a class of antibiotic used to treat hospital acquired infections, like blood infections and meningitis.
The scientists also found human gut bacteria in the river sediment that had developed resistance to Imipenem, a type of antibiotic used in severe infections not treatable with other antibiotics, which is administered using intravenous injections.
“This is a worrying development and we need to be concerned about it. We’ve completely underestimated the role waste-treatment processes can play in antibiotic resistance,” Professor Elizabeth Wellington, from the University of Warwick, who led the study, told the Independent.
“This is a big deal, this is the most common bacterial resistance gene causing failures in treatment of infections, and it’s the first time anyone has seen this gene in UK rivers,” she added…”

Monsanto’s Roundup Herbicide and Regulators “With Something to Hide”
“Our Health Sacrificed for Commercial Interest”
Extract:
“Glyphosate was approved for EU-wide use in 2002. Yet there is a mounting body of evidence that links glyphosate with a range of serious health problems and diseases, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, birth defects, autism, infertility and cancers [8]. If regulatory bodies had done their job properly, we would not now be in this situation…”
Scientists write: EPA, ban ‘agent orange’ herbicide mix and GMO crops!
Extract:
“Studies of farmers who worked with 2,4-D found a link between exposure to this herbicide and suppressed immune function, [5] lower sperm count, [6] and a greater risk of Parkinson’s disease. [7]
These findings from human studies, whether small-scale, pilot studies or large cohort studies, point out significant risks from 2,4-D to human health even for the relatively healthy adults who work in agricultural jobs.
Such risks would be much higher for young children, especially young children in residential communities, schools, and daycare centers near the 2,4-D-sprayed fields…”
Natural News.com | GMO pushers horrified at idea of being held responsible for their role in farmer suicides, crop failures and environmental devastation
Extract:
“The single greatest fear of GMO pushers has just been revealed. In the days after I wrote my now-famous article comparing GMO advocates to Nazi collaborators, the blogosphere erupted with a heated discussion of Monsanto, journalism, the scientific dictatorship of the Nazi empire and the parallels with modern-day GMO pushers.
This story thrust the topic of GMOs back into the minds of millions of people, which was of course the whole point. It also helped introduced terms into the minds of the public like “Monsanto collaborators” and “agricultural holocaust…”

(NaturalNews) Pigs who consume feed with low concentrations of the herbicide glyphosate (also marketed as Roundup) give birth to piglets with a wide array of severe defects
Extract:
“According to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Leipzig, Germany, and Sadat City University in Egypt, in collaboration with Danish pig farmer Ib Borup Pedersen. The study was published in the Journal of Environmental & Analytical Toxicology.
The higher the glyphosate levels, the higher the rate of birth defects.
“It shocks me that the industry does not take the evidence of Roundup’s and glyphosate’s harmful effects more serious than it does,” Pedersen said in April, when he publicly called for a ban on glyphosate use on animal feed prior to harvest…

SEATTLE Organic Restaurants | Russia joins more than 30 other countries that have banned the import of GE crops. Also despite the harms of GE crops, giant biotech is pouring thousands of dollars to defeat GMO labeling in the state of Oregon
Extract:
“The giant agribusinesses have so far donated $455,000 to Good Neighbor Farmers in Jackson County in order to defeat GMO initiative labeling in Oregon. In the last few years, giant biotech has spent more than $67 million in California and Washington to kill GMO labeling.
GE crops are planted on 12% of the world’s farm land in 28 different countries. In EU only two GMO varieties have been licensed for commercial harvesting and GMO foods are accordingly labeled. However, in US, there are more than 96 GMO varieties and so far only few states including Hawaii, Alaska, Connecticut and Maine have been able to pass GMO labeling bill.
Recently even Russia and China have banned the import of GE foods. In fact, US farmers have lost more than $427 million in sales after China rejected the imports of US corn. Russia has also imposed a ban on GE products saying that its nation has enough space and resources to produce organic and sustainable foods…

ITV | Hundreds bury heads in the sand in climate change protest
Extract:
Hundreds of protesters have buried their heads in the sands of Australia’s Bondi Beach in a mocking gesture against what they say is a refusal to act on climate change.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s perceived reluctance to put the issue on the agenda of a G20 summit over the weekend has sparked anger from campaigners, who said the policy was “embarrassing” in the wake of a deal struck between the US and China to limit their carbon footprints…

Nature Bats | Who Is the Mysterious Sam Carana of Arctic News Blog? by Reese Jones
Extract:
“Many have wondered who this prolific writer might be…
For those who have been following the climate and information news, the name “Sam Carana” may pop up frequently as the author of a prodigious range of Arctic-related climate news postings on arctic-news.blogspot.com. If one queries his actual identity, they will discover that his credentials, Curriculum Vitae and other professional qualifications are missing from the public record.
…
In the end, what is perhaps most important is that he knows how much we appreciate his efforts, and very much look forward to their continuance.
