State of the Planet: The Heat is On



“I wonder how high global temps and resulting chaos has to get before climate change catapults to the top of everyone’s radar” Nick

“The fires are still burning up north. This is what climate chaos looks like and it feel like the madness is closing in, plus it’s freaky because the decadal average is only .1C. Our yearly and monthly gyrations are swinging us way outside our guardrails. This is why people have no idea how dangerous 1.5C is on a global average. That’s considerably worse than 1.2C. At an average temp of 1.5C we will be swinging just above and below 2C throughout the year and sometimes as a yearly average.” Antonio

  1. Loved your show, it is so difficult to watch it live because it is middle of the night here in Norway when you are live, but I love your show. I watch it first thing in the morning if I do not need to go to work. Love you…. You help me a lot.

  2. Omg yay! Nick and Antonio! All you guys together kvetching in a group is fabulous, topics notwithstanding 🤣 I just want to share something I’ve observed in case it helps anyone else (bc it has definitely helped me!)
    I was raised in the fundie born again rapture-obsessed culture and had to recover from the abusive, oppressive dynamics there. So yeah a lot of those folks fully believe that all this is predestined according to gods plan and is a way to cull out the sin and punish the unsaved aka liberals 🤣🤣🤣🤣 always makes me giggle AF now. But I’ve seen shifts happening in individuals at a level that surprises me. Definitely not a shift happening in the group collective but I have forwarded Jem Bendell’s Deep Adaptation paper to several people- who have or are reading it!- and some of those folks identify as born again Christians. Definitely not every religious person is a hateful bigoted d bag hiding behind ultra white American republican Jesus 🤣 and there are plenty of people who, while not yet at this deep end of the collapse spectrum, are definitely not in denial and delusion to the degree we often just expect them to be. I like this line from Men In Black (the movie)-a person is smart. people are dumb panicky dangerous animals and you know it. 🤣🤣🤣 but I believe that having really good, wise, solid content and conversations like this will continue to draw individuals who are able and willing to be collapse aware and that could be way more than we cynically imagine.

  3. I watch many extreme weather channels and yes the commenters say we are in the end times of the Judeo-Christian bible. They don't like the words climate change. They will say extreme weather events.

  4. Antonio made a really good point when he said the surface heat is so intense it's pulling moisture out of the soil making it rigid, then when a deluge of rain falls the soil lacks the flexibility to absorb it and you get these rivers of water flowing from open land into towns, washing away cars, houses, people, etc.

  5. Wrt sea level rise, I think another shock is in the pipeline. Sea level rise will, at some point, take a big jump.
    What happens when you slow cook an ice sheet? Scientists are starting to make observations that may answer that question.

  6. Is it just me, so others think extreme weather events have exploded over the past 2-3 years? Maybe it seems that way to me since the heat dome affected our area a few years ago. But it does seem like there has been a noticeable uptick in extreme events dominating the news these days.

  7. What a great show!!! I learned so much. I appreciate Antonio and Nick talking about cold oceans in 300 years. I did not know that. Interesting. Thank you Sandy for your show. Thank you Jennifer, Nick and Antonio. Antonio is right its wonderful to be together during these times. New normal in 1 to 10 million years. I try to think sometimes in terms of deep time. It makes me feel small as I should feel.

  8. The floodings you show at 37 min go so well with the calculation i saw from England years back, were they calculated 12% more moisture in the atmosphere and that also equal 1,8 Celsius warmer atmosphere.

    if you take the cubic volume of the atmosphere that can hold moisture and giv it a figure and ad on 12% you get a lot of cubic miles of extra atmospheric moisture.

  9. Yep, so pathetic, climate feedback loops were largely avoidable, I will just keep working along with you to set the record straight. humanity will need a consistent narrative to face what is now and what's to come. Thank you for spreading the message Environmental Coffeehouse!

  10. We are spoon-fed NATO propaganda. The claim that NATO is there for defense and to maintain that claim is sickening!! As Jan Smeets said: "The EU is a vehicle that was set up under the leadership of the US to support US interests in particular. The EU is not only there for the reasons that are officially stated. The countries in Europe are deeply divided on many issues and the EU has an important role to play in ensuring that they all support US policies and geopolitical interests. You can clearly see how from 2014 the US/NATO objectives are supported in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Brussels and NATO are increasingly appearing together as if they were one organisation. Both also have their headquarters in Brussels."

    NATO is a monster and I say NO to this cluster(bombs)!!! Poor Ukrainian people, cannon fodder. Poor Europe & poor Australia, vassals of the American Empire.

    Everything premeditated.

    The race to claim the last reserves of oil, gas, minerals, wood,… to keep that collapsing economy going. Whoever you choose it's crap. Only transparency in how the world actually works can ensure more correct management because we don't know and Assange is in jail for that. Via Caitlin Johnstone: "Assange said: "And the reason it's all bankrupt, and all current political theories are bankrupt and particular lines of political thought, is because actually we don't know what the hell is going on. And until we know the basic structures of our institutions — how they operate in practice, these titanic organizations, how they behave inside, not just through stories but through vast amounts of internal documentations — until we know that, how can we possibly make a diagnosis ? How can we set the direction to go until we know where we are? We don't even have a map of where we are. So our first task is to build up a sort of intellectual heritage that describes where we are. And once we know where we are, then we have a hope of setting course for a different direction. Until then, I think all political theories — to greater and lesser extents of course — are bankrupt.""

    Biden is doing things to move towards a hydrogen economy. And then it's interesting to listen to host Nate Hagens in the conversation with Paul Martin. @thegreatsimplification#63

    But thank you for your life's work and interpretation Nick, Anthonio, Jennifer and hostess Sandy.

  11. When scientists can no longer be scientists.

    If no transparency is possible, if no open conversation is possible, then it stops.

    So many good people who give up their job because they are no longer "allowed" to do their job in good conscience. Or simply get fired, reforms you know.

    Those are tactics of dictatorial governments.

    Read Marx

  12. The Bible is not original, it has been modified many times over the years for the interests of those in power. And not only the Bible, by the way, also the Gospel and the Quran.

    The Torah with the 10 commandments of Abraham are the only common background that still connects all religions, the rest is power struggles that have raged among mankind for more than 4000 years.

    Real Jews wield the Torah more than the Zionists who along with the neoliberals worldwide follow the Bible for power over Islam!

    “How is it possible that killings of innocent, harmless civilians can be called self-defense?” (words by Miko Peled) #Palestine

    The Orthodox Jews, like the most sane people, are in shock at what is happening today. Israel is an apartheid state where hate crimes are enshrined in the constitution.

    Don't cooperate with Israel – Israel must be boycotted.

  13. It’s the property insurance that’s skyrocketed, not so much the flood insurance. Last year I paid about $1200 for each. Sold the house a few months ago and the new owners are looking at over $6000 for the property insurance. Got hit with about $35,000 damage from Ian and we were lucky. We paid about $8000 after deductible. Glad to be back in Michigan where the water is alligator and brain eating bacteria free and the skies are clear. Wait! Hold on…. You can’t eat the fish here because of PFAS and we have air quality alert today because of Paul Beckwith campfire smoke. No place is safe.
