(3,949 posts)Our CO2 and Methane levels are rising more rapidly that any time except for the catastrophic Premerin Extinction back Hundreds of Billions of years before land animals. These climate flips even slight ones to ice ages happen over maybe a dozen years, we are already part way through that now. There is enough methane to raise our worldwide temperature up 20 or more degrees, if it goes much beyond that our water may just evaporate. It is frightening how little most people understand or believe of this. We haven't been above 400 ppm CO2 in over 30 million years and this increase is way faster than any of the major previous climate shifts. This is happening too fast for plants and animals to keep up. at best we will have a catastrophe and some small bunch of humans will survive. check out https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/ and look around if you want facts, we are at the time where the methane hydrate will melt from under the arctic ocean and it may be game over for life on earth, or at best hell on earth. The only way this even doesn't end in mass death is if we get an ice age reset, but that outlook isn't good, there may be too much co2 already for that to help. And that will just be a brief killing cold spell in the northern hemisphere before the warming resumes. The power's that be knew this in the 1970s Carter had a plan with 1970s tech to get off foreign oil by 2000, but Reagan closed that door of hope. After that campaign finance laws were loosened and we've had pro oil president after the next until Joe Biden tried to get enough green tech to try and head off this crisis.
