Writing about all this stuff can really be depressing. 😨 But I believe we must know exactly what's happening to our world, and why it's happening.

Anyway, after I post this last one, I'm taking a bike ride to a yoga class where I can recharge my spirit. 🤗

Here's a brief excerpt from an ominous article titled "How overheating in the Arctic Circle will cause the collapse of civilization"...


If we were to pick one aspect of climate change that will catastrophically impact everyone on Earth, what would it be? We are especially looking for an aspect that is approaching like a freight train, in the sense that we can see it coming and its progress seems inexorable.

The overheating in the Arctic Circle is a great choice. We can see the disaster coming, and when it arrives it will be catastrophic.

The imminent disasters include:

❶ Sea level rise from Greenland meltwater and AMOC collapse causing the destruction of coastal cities
❷ Crop failures
❸ Droughts and floods
❹ Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane levels that accelerate global warming even more
❺ Global weather pattern disruptions
❻ Marine die-offs

All these effects combined together, and interacting with each other, will be enough to cause the collapse.

Like a freight train, we call see the effects approaching. Therefore, what can humanity do to save itself?

The obvious thing for humanity to do is to quickly stop burning fossil fuels.
