We have never seen anything like this. Remember that even in Hiroshima some stone houses survived, but most of the buildings were timber and burned down. Of course explosive power used in Gaza exceeds Hiroshima by at least one order of magnitude (10*)

In 1939, as Hitler's war machine prepared its blitzkrieg across Europe, Madison Square Garden played host to the American Nazi Party, known as the "German American Bund." 20,000 Nazis polluted our greatest city to whip up support for their genocidal aims. 1/

Humans continue to argue and fight and kill each other while the planet heats up, storms and heat and famines get steadily worse. What a cosmic failure of leadership at all levels and for decades. At least declare a climate emergency.

Just your annual reminder to raise a glass to Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov who on this date in 1983 saved your life when he decided to wait for evidence in stead of passing on the message that could have caused armageddon.

*onderzoek alert*
In de geschiedenis van de aarde is het aanzienlijk warmer geweest - we zitten in een uitzonderlijk koele periode.
Maar:
In de afgelopen 485 miljoen (!) jaar is de temperatuur op aarde nog nooit met zo’n grote snelheid gestegen.
Alarmerender kan niet.

Global Surface Temperatures Are Rising Faster Now Than At Any Time In The Past 485 Million Years cleantechnica.com/2024/09/21/glo… via @cleantechnica The headline pretty much says it all. A team of climate researchers led by Emily Judd at the University of Arizona and The Smithsonian have combined more than 150,000 pieces of fossil evidence with state of the art climate models to determine the Earth’s average global surface temperatures during the past 480 million years, a timeline that begins with with the emergence of multi-cellular, non-microscopic organisms at the beginning of the time period known as the Phanerozoic Eon. The results show that the Earth has been hotter — much hotter, actually — during most of that time and humans first appeared during one of the coolest periods. It also shows that over the past 480 million years, temperatures have never risen as quickly as they are doing today.

Ken je die grap van de Pasar Malam in het pesthuis in Leiden? Het was drie uur s middags en er stond een rij van 200 meter, een erin, een eruit. Niet te doen.

What I mean by this, in plain and simple language, is if we do nothing, the impacts are going to be terrible and catastrophic. Whereas, if we do act appropriately, it means radically changing the system in which we live. There is no future where things remain as they are.
