CARBON RELEASE ACCELERATING DUE TO PERMAFROST COLLAPSE

“Faster than expected” and “worse than anticipated” are two terms that are being used with an increasing frequency in relation to Climate Change and the environment. The phenomenon is now not only limited to human emissions and resource consumption, either.

Permafrost is thawing in the Arctic so fast scientists are losing their equipment
Instead of a few centimetres of thaw a year, several metres of soil can destabilize within days

Climate scientists have assumed a slow, steady erosion of permafrost and a similar pace of carbon release. Turetsky and her colleagues found something different.
Instead of a few centimetres of thaw a year, several metres of soil can destabilize within days. Landscapes collapse into sinkholes. Hillsides slide away to expose deep permafrost that would otherwise have remained insulated.

Trump administration sees a 7-degree rise in global temperatures by 2100

A rise of seven degrees Fahrenheit, or about four degrees Celsius, compared with preindustrial levels would be catastrophic, according to scientists. Many coral reefs would dissolve in increasingly acidic oceans. Parts of Manhattan and Miami would be underwater without costly coastal defenses. Extreme heat waves would routinely smother large parts of the globe.
But the administration did not offer this dire forecast, premised on the idea that the world will fail to cut its greenhouse gas emissions, as part of an argument to combat climate change. Just the opposite: The analysis assumes the planet’s fate is already sealed.

Gray whales starving to death in the Pacific, and scientists want to know why

The false security of Climate Change offering us a bit of time will doom us. PCB laced marine microplastic has killed half the phytoplankton in my lifetime.
Phytoplankton sequesters CO2 and converts it to most of the oxygen we breathe and is the beginning of the food chain we all depend on. Billions depend on the oceans for food, and our forests are half gone to feed beef, further compounding the pending hunger of humanity.
Hunger, mankind's biggest motivator, will cause mass migration that no wall or army can stop, coupled with the loss of pollinators and farm land to development, and it becomes obvious pollution is responsible for all our demise even the eventual warming that we may not be witness to because we will be fighting in the streets for scraps.

Killing off animals and plants now threatens humanity itself, UN experts to warn in urgent call for action
Up to a million species facing extinction in the world’s sixth mass die-off - as big a risk as climate change, say scientists

The future of humanity is under threat from the widespread destruction of the Earth’s plants and animals by people, leading scientists will warn in a dramatic report.
Loss of biodiversity threatens the human race just as much as climate change, the experts believe, with up to a million species facing extinction in the world’s sixth mass die-off.
The UN’s global assessment on the state of nature – published on Monday, and the most comprehensive of its kind – is expected to say that without urgent action, the wellbeing of current and future generations of people will be at risk as life-support systems providing food, pollination and clean water collapse.

Civilization Is Accelerating Extinction and Altering the Natural World at a Pace ‘Unprecedented in Human History’

The report is not the first to paint a grim portrait of Earth’s ecosystems. But it goes further by detailing how closely human well-being is intertwined with the fate of other species.
“For a long time, people just thought of biodiversity as saving nature for its own sake,” said Robert Watson, chair of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, which conducted the assessment at the request of national governments. “But this report makes clear the links between biodiversity and nature and things like food security and clean water in both rich and poor countries.“

Humanity Is About to Kill 1 Million Species in a Globe-Spanning Murder-Suicide
http://nymag.com/intelligencer/amp/2019/05/un-report-humans-are-drivin
g-1-million-species-extinct.html
“The most important thing isn’t necessarily that we’re losing .?.?. 1 million species — although that’s important, don’t misunderstand me,” Robert Watson, chairman of the U.N. panel that authored the report, told the Washington Post. “The bigger issue is the way it will affect human well-being, as we’ve said many times — food, water, energy, human health.”
Earth’s ecosystems did not evolve to thrive amid the conditions that a global, advanced capitalist civilization of 7 billion humans has created. And that civilization did not evolve to thrive on a planet without coral reefs, wetlands, or wild bees — and with global temperatures exceeding preindustrial levels by 1.5 degrees. Bringing our civilization’s ambitions and modes of operation into better alignment with the environment’s demands no act of altruism. It merely requires recognizing our own collective long-term self-interest, and “changing the way we grow food, produce energy, deal with climate change and dispose of waste,” on a global level, through international cooperation.
In other words: Humanity is probably going out in a globe-spanning murder-suicide. But it doesn’t have to — if we can recognize the interdependence of all human beings well enough to build an international government that recognizes the interdependence of all living things.
The author offers a little hopium, but it's too late. We have an administration that calls climate change a hoax.
