Of the dozens of articles just released on the newest and worst IPCC report on global warming, the one in Rolling Stone is the one we select for you to review. Consider it indicative of how bad and how fast a massive global warming disaster and meltdown is approaching.

A new public global warming educational hero has appeared and, he has had the courage to go far beyond Al Gore, Bill McKibben and Michael Bloomberg in telling us how bad the global warming is going to get and how soon that really is going to happen. His name is Jeremy Grantham.

Each month we do news update for our members and subscribers. This month and going forward we have decided to make this monthly member/subscriber update available to all website visitors.

Why are the consequence and timetable predictions and of this new global warming book better than any other current book?

Each month we try to present a short news update and a few key facts to help you understand and manage our current global warming emergency. What you are seeing this summer is...

It’s time to accept that we are not going to dislodge the entrenched interests holding back effective action on looming climate chaos by any means tried so far. Believing that 97% of credible scientists is consensus enough is 103% short for effective response. (Even 200% may not be enough.) Undeniability and incontrovertibility are the only criteria that will work to break through the Hydra-Headed Delusion Dragon clutching all of us.

We need a people’s movement to mobilize for ecological regeneration and systemic transformation.

A new study based on evidence from past warm periods suggests global warming may be double what is forecast.

Here are effective ways to envision and evaluate your personal risks, threat levels, and the true urgency of the escalating global warming emergency on your life. It will help prepare and protect you from what is coming. 

When you hear how people in a study responded to the probability of extinction most of you will be shocked.

Current and future carbon levels from burning fossil fuels will determine the quality and length of our lives. Not understanding what these future carbon levels are and mean is seriously perilous to your well-being and future financial stability.

Which do you prefer: partial economic collapse now, or total economic collapse later, with the special bonus of the potential near complete collapse of civilization. There is a great global warming dilemma that almost all environmental organizations are hiding from you!

There is a spellbinding new book on global warming called On Vestige Way by David Spielberg that just arrived at Amazon. It is an emotion-packed novel about how global warming effects the future and fate of the world’s Millennials, generation Z, corporations and the political alliances we take for granted. 

The MIT Technology Review published: “At this rate, it’s going to take nearly 400 years to transform the energy system.” Worse yet, renewable energy is not currently displacing fossil fuel capacity, but rather it is supplementing it!

We have thousands of previous blog posts describing the global warming emergency and how bad it will get. It is also time the Global Warming Blog to regularly post realistic positive perspectives on how we will get through impending climageddon. Please enjoy these new entries.

Alexander Payne the writer and producer of Downsizing, as well as Matt Damon and the other stars, deserve the highest environmental honors. It is obvious they took a lot of professional risks in making this clever film about the dangers of global warming.

Check out the 21 images of what global warming will do to cities around the world in the following link. And, it's not even the real "don't scare the public and markets" sea level rise estimates found in the book Climageddon at Amazon. For all of the 21 images please see https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/disturbing-before-and-after-images-show-what-major-us-cities-could-look-like-in-the-year-2100/ss-BBJD7VN?li=BBnb7Kz

Would you be surprised to know that we are not making any real progress on reducing the worst current and future consequences of global warming? Here is the proof.

GENEVA—Attending a conference to discuss alarming new data on rising sea levels, a weary group of top climatologists suddenly halted their presentation Friday, let out a long sigh, and stated that the best thing anyone can do at this point is just try to enjoy the next couple decades as much as possible. “You know what, guys? Just go out there and have a good time—don’t worry about any of this,” said climate scientist Annalisa Feldt who tore in half the report she had compiled and suggested everyone consider traveling to a place they’ve never been before, or taking up a pastime they’ve always imagined might be fun. “Go see a show. Join an intramural sports league. Learn a musical instrument. Have more sex. Try skiing, if you never have, although that’s one you’d better do within the next five years or so.” Reiterating the need for people to live it up while they still can, the climatologists announced that if anyone was interested in joining them, they would be skipping the remainder of the conference to get completely shit-faced at the nearest bar...
