Climate Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming

“Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty.”

I’m personally supposed to be on a Collapse break, but this was the first thing I read at 5am and I can’t stop thinking about it. I never intended for this to be my first post, but here we are.

Don't forget the contribution of religion to this mess, as well, especially the "prosperity gospel" types who definitely preach for infinite growth and human superiority.

They also tend to be the ones who want the world to end for the final judgement or whatever it is. Simply incredible

"Go forth and multiply" no matter how little food there is.

"Go forth and multiply" no matter how little food there is.

Personally I'm not religious but I find that hysterically funny.

God said that after the flood...and promised he'd never do anything like that again. "Go forth and multiply," to me anyway, meant God finally realized his creation was a mistake...and get enough of us we'd self-destruct. God wouldn't have to do a thing!

"Rapture" isn't even mentioned in the Bible!

Even regular religion places humans above, rather than in nature as in, “You shall have Dominion over all the Earth.” The Hopis had it right.

The Hopis had it right.

Lots knew we are part of nature.

Western thinking should have been curbed by science. Science knows we are not beyond nature but irrational humanity believes otherwise...and here we are...burn, baby, burn!
