Doomsday Clock moves closest to midnight in 73-year history

[Divine_Wind]

Guess the survivors will learn the truth.

They'll be a little busy scavenging for food and finding a decent replacement for toilet paper.

In reality, humanity will survive. Whether civilization does is up in the air. The concerns about diseases released from the permafrost or wars based on competition for resources are legitimate. Either way, you and I will be dead and won't give a damn about what our descendants are doing. Agreed?

NASA states otherwise and I'll go with them verus politically-minded activists.

The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.

The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia.1

Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.

The Role of Human Activity
In its Fifth Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of 1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations, concluded there's a more than 95 percent probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet.

The industrial activities that our modern civilization depends upon have raised atmospheric carbon dioxide levels from 280 parts per million to 400 parts per million in the last 150 years. The panel also concluded there's a better than 95 percent probability that human-produced greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have caused much of the observed increase in Earth's temperatures over the past 50 years.

The panel's full Summary for Policymakers report is online at https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5_summary-for-policymakers.pdf.

LOL For a high-tech US agency, NASA pretty much bases all of their information on the IPCC's 5th assessment report.

The head of the IPCC writing team happens to be an Indian railway engineer by profession. He claims to be a strict vegetarian largely because he is an eco-nut. He was also forced out due to sexual harassment charges.

This clown and a bunch of others are IPCC's supposed climate experts? They have about as much credibility in climate science as Great Thundberg has. :lamo

I give a damn now, so.....

Nonetheless, NASA supplies its own data with several satellites. You are free to ridicule NASA, but I side with our NASA and military experts on this issue, not the politicians and businessmen.


Government Resources | Solutions – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
NASA is an expert in climate and Earth science. While its role is not to set climate policy or prescribe particular responses or solutions to climate change, its purview does include providing the robust scientific data needed to understand climate change and evaluating the impact of efforts to combat it. NASA then makes this information available to the global community – the public, policy- and decision-makers and scientific and planning agencies around the world. (For more information, see NASA's role.)

The following selected resources from U.S. government organizations provide information about options for responding to climate change....

This study examines the implications of climate change for the United States Army. This includes national security challenges associated with or worsened by climate change, and organizational challenges arising from climate change-related issues in the domestic environment.

The Pentagon and Climate Change - Earth: The Operators' Manual | NOAA Climate.gov
This video highlights the Pentagon's focus on climate change as the military examines potential risks, strategic responses, and impacts of climate change on future military and humanitarian missions. In 2010, for the first time, the Pentagon focused on climate change as a significant factor in its Quadrennial Defense Review of potential risks and strategic responses. Rear Admiral David Titley, Oceanographer of the Navy, explains why the US military sees clear evidence of climate change and how those changes will affect future military and humanitarian missions.

LOL military experts? So theyre experts on climate too? :lamo

And at the bottom of NASA's website is the editor: Holly Shaftel, a women's relationship coach by profession and self-proclaimed climate expert. Yeah sure, we really ought to be believe her expertise when it comes to predicting climate. :lol:

You didn't read the report, didja? Sad.

Worse, you don't seem to understand climate change is a national security issue for several reasons. No worries. You and I won't have anything to worry about. We'll be dead. Let the future take care of itself, eh?
