More Unprecedented Jet Stream Behaviour: Filling Southern Hemisphere & Crossing Almost Entire Equator

Posted on August 9, 2017 by paulbeckwith

Midas Touch Beauties and The Beast,
At Ottawa’s Busker Festival

Jet Streams WIDEN and FILL Most of Southern Hemisphere // Published on Aug 8, 2017

Strange things are happening, as abrupt climate change speeds up, and the Arctic refrigerator transitions into an Arctic sauna. For example, it is now raining over the ice in both the Arctic & Antarctic, simultaneously. Jet Streams are not only slowing down, becoming wavier and broken, but they are also becoming much wider. In fact, I show how they almost entirely fill the space in the Southern Hemisphere, and drag air across the Equator.

Jet Stream Crosses Equator Essentially Around Entire Planet // Published on Aug 6, 2017

July 20th, 2017 was a very unusual day, yet none of us realized it at the time. On this day powerful Southern Hemisphere Jet Streams pulled high-altitude air ACROSS the Equator, essentially around the ENTIRE planet!

In my viral video: “Unprecedented? Jet Stream Crosses Equator” posted about a year ago, I showed many locations with crossings. Not only is this still happening, but in this video I show NEW behaviour. Air is pulled strongly across the Equator, essentially ALL-THE-WAY around the Earth. Very strange indeed!!!

Arctic Sea Ice; A View to a KILL: A

Posted on August 6, 2017 by paulbeckwith

Arctic Sea Ice; A View to a KILL: A // Published on Aug 4, 2017

There is basically NO thick ice left on the Arctic Ocean surface. The thicker ice was mostly exported out to destruction via the Fram Strait & Canadian Archipelago last winter. Ice left is only a weak semblance of its former self, fractured and broken into small pieces and subject to whims of surface currents & winds.

I discuss relentless ice melt on the surface from warm air temperatures and rain, below from warm ocean water, and on the edges from waves, winds & export. Not a pretty picture.

Exposing the Elephant: Exponential Population Growth

Posted on August 3, 2017 by paulbeckwith

Exponential Global Population Growth: Exposing Elephants in the Room: A

A city of 240,000 people. This is roughly the number of extra people appearing on Earth each day (births minus deaths). We just passed 7.5 billion, which is amazingly about 6% of all the people who have ever lived on Earth.

Our global population continues growing exponentially each year. The UN projects 8 billion by 2025, 9 billion by 2040 & 10 billion by 2050. BUT they ignore abrupt climate change.

Exponential Global Population Growth & “The Great Acceleration”: B // Published on Aug 3, 2017

To determine the overall IMPACT of human activity on our planet, we multiply global POPULATION by AFFLUENCE by TECHNOLOGY (IPAT; I = P x A x T).

Unfortunately for us, Population is growing exponentially, while Affluence (with rampant consumerism) as well as Technology are also growing nearly exponentially. Thus IMPACT is skyrocketing, with no regions of our planet left untouched. This has been described as “The Great Acceleration“.

How Global Warming Increases Metabolism, Thus Decreases Lifespans. // Published on Aug 3, 2017

Increase global average temperature by 2 C (3.6 F) and the Metabolic Rate (Energy Burn; Pace-of-Life;…) increases 20-30%. Since there is a fixed number of heartbeats in a lifetime (1 or 2 billion heartbeats); a faster pace-of-life means a shorter lifespan, unless the organism can migrate to a cooler region.

Understanding how all life connects via nonlinear size scaling is crucial to know how life processes like growth, health, and longevity are affected by abrupt climate change.

Why the PACE of Almost ALL Life (Including Death Rates) Speeds Up With Global Warming

Posted on July 31, 2017 by paulbeckwith

Global Warming Increases Pace of Life, Thus Death Rates: A // Published on July 30, 2017

For every 18 F (10 C) rise in temperature the metabolic rate doubles and thus the rate of living (pace of life) doubles.

The Paris agreement aims for a maximum 2 C (3.6 F) temperature rise, yet this change leads to a 20% to 30% increase in metabolic rate, and thus also growth and mortality rates. This is mind-boggling. The pace of almost all biological life across all size scales increases 20 to 30% from just a 2 C temperature rise.

Fossil Fuel Use is Rising Like There is NO Tomorrow

Posted on July 26, 2017 by paulbeckwith

Fossil Fuel Use is Rising Like There is NO Tomorrow // Published on Jul 26, 2017

If YOU think that 25+ years of global climate change policy meetings (IPCCs & COPs), and today’s much discussed growth in clean energy and efficiency are reducing global fossil fuel usage and thus greenhouse gas emissions then YOU are sadly mistaken.

No sugar-coating. The cold hard data, displayed in charts for you and discussed in this video is brutal, but you need to see it for yourself. Fossil fuel growth is backed by enormous government subsidies and the emissions are climbing like there is no tomorrow. No tomorrow, not just for your grandkids but for your kids, and even for YOU.

Best 15 Ways to Drawdown Greenhouse Gases

Posted on July 25, 2017 by paulbeckwith

Best 15 Ways to Drawdown Greenhouse Gases / Published on Jul 24, 2017

I discuss 15 of the most important ways that humanity can significantly reduce fossil fuel emissions. The ultimate goal is removal of carbon from the atmosphere/oceans, as outlined in the book Drawdown and website drawdown.org; We do this, or we perish…

Of course, wind turbines and solar panels are important and on the list, but they are NOT at the top. Ditto for food and trees. Guess what all 15 are, and then rank them. Then watch my video and be very surprised. I was..

Fending Off Scientist’s Attacks on “The Uninhabitable Earth”: Five Videos, Parts A to E

Posted on July 19, 2017 by paulbeckwith

Fending Off Scientist’s Attacks on “The Uninhabitable Earth”. Part A / Published on Jul 17, 2017

The controversy over the accuracy of the New York Magazine article “The Uninhabited Earth” expands and deepens. Sixteen scientists examined and commented on the article, and gave it a low rating for “scientific accuracy” on the website climatefeedback.org; normally I agree with ratings from this great website, but NOT in this case.

Abrupt Climate Mayhem Now, in Spite of Main-Stream-Climatologist Posturing

Posted on July 14, 2017 by paulbeckwith

Abrupt Climate Mayhem Now, in Spite of Main-Stream-Climatologist Posturing // Published on Jul 13, 2017

Quite frankly, I am sick and tired of people, especially main-stream-talking-head-scientists, downplaying the huge unprecedented threats that are accumulating daily and will soon take down our civilizations. Our world is one that is full of specialists, with no ability to join-the-dots and recognize that humanities existence, and that of our entire ecosystems of plants and animals is degrading rapidly. Even exponentially.

From my chair, I categorically state that anybody who downplays the significance and importance of our planets peril is part of the problem, and needs to get with the program or step aside so that the rest of us can do what is needed. The public needs the truth, no matter how bad it is to have any hope of changing course. And the truth is truly awful, at present.

Main-Stream-Scientists Screw Up Communicating Abrupt Climate Change // Published on Jul 13, 2017

I continue on my last video’s chat about the widely viewed New York Magazine article by David Wallace-Well’s on The Uninhabitable Earth, Famine, economic collapse, a sun that cooks us: What climate change could wreak — sooner than you think.

Everyone agrees that this article hit a nerve with Main-Stream-(Media: MSM; Scientists: MSS) and the public.

We all hear over and over, from Main-Stream-Scientists), that climate change is occurring “faster than expected“. Think about what this means. It means that what is expected is completely wrong. What will, and is happening is way worse that what MSS are saying, and what MSM is reporting. The public needs the truth, and not some sugarcoated MSM/MSS bullshit.

Main-Stream-Media Awakens to Perils of Abrupt Climate Change? // Published on Jul 11, 2017

A lot can happen in a day. Things can turn on a dime. Has this just happened? David Wallace-Wells wrote a great article in nymag.com recently on “The Uninhabitable Earth”. Media around the world carried parts of it, and a number of scientists chimed in. Many people said the article is too apocalyptic. I say that the article is spot on. Civilization, more correctly humanity is going down big time, on our current path. Abrupt climate change all but guarantees that. Unless we collectively change course by:

1) Declare a global climate emergency.

2) Deploy technologies to remove carbon from the atmosphere &/or oceans.

3) Deploy technologies to cool the Arctic.

Profound Changes in Our Jet Streams

Posted on July 11, 2017 by paulbeckwith

Profound Changes in our Jet Streams // Published on Jul 11, 2017

All of us alive today are either privileged or cursed to bear witness to profound changes in our planetary climate system.

Join me here as I brainstorm on how our fractured, wavier, slower jet streams no longer just circumvent the planet as they have for eons but instead essentially fill the geographical space in the Arctic region with whirling vortices, acting as an enormous feedback to equalize heat between the Arctic and mid-latitudes. Huge temperature rises, with concurrent water vapour rises in the far north are spreading any normalcy in our global weather patterns.

———- ———-
Jet Stream Shift South Can Take Out Larsen C // Published on Jul 10, 2017

Following up on my previous jet stream video, I now discuss how a slight southward shift of the Southern Hemisphere jet stream can nudge the 10% section of the Larsen C ice shelf that is poised to break off, seaward, and essentially rip it off the main ice shelf.

Do we really want to risk everything on our planet by allowing abrupt climate change to proceed unchecked? NOT ME. We cannot roll over and succumb, like we are doing. We must declare a global climate emergency, as the first step to concerted action for climate restoration.

Our Jet Streams: Loopy, Streaky, Weary & Broken Down. SAD. // Published on Jul 7, 2017

Global Weirding. Global Wilding. Have you had a visit to the Climate Casino, or rather, has it visited you yet? Perhaps flooded out your house from torrential rains, like the 772 mm (30.4″) of rain that fell in 9 hours in Japan a few days ago, simply a result of a small white blotch associated with the jet stream carrying huge amounts of water. Climate Mayhem…

Instead of circling the Arctic region like they used to, the broken and weary jet streams, with streaks & spirals & loops & crazy meanderings are filling up the entire Arctic region. Just wait until there is no sea ice in a few years.
