The last 12 months have been truly awful in the area of forest fires, especially California. While forest fires generally are bad everywhere (and the massive losses in South America and the South Pacific are tragic), the California forest fire updates which every caring human being has been forced to digest can cause chronic nightmares.
Maps of global warming in Canada, Alaska and, indeed, the entire Arctic Circle are equally tragic. Just a few short years ago, the thought of negotiating a new global treaty for shipping rights through the permanent ice pack of the Arctic Circle would have been laughable. Now, multinational oil and shipping companies are operating under a model of unhindered year-round access!
My friend, this year, I have provided all of my loyal readers with morsel after morsel of proof that global warming is real and that human behavior is the main cause. Some may quibble or attempt to distract the issue with apparent contradictions. Such contradictions do not exist. The only area of disagreement within the scientific community is that of degree, no pun intended, of how fast we will lose such lovely places as Tuvalu forever.
Up to this point, I have taken a relatively conciliatory posture against those who attempt to rebut the truth of the climate crisis in the face of California forest fire updates and maps of global warming in Canada. No more! The entire planet must shift into ecological crisis mode and nothing short of doing so will stave off disaster. If you think I have engaged in histrionics, I have a simple response: I warned you!
