We Continue to Underestimate Climate Change--This time its Because of Clouds

One of the ongoing themes of this blog is that we have been underestimating Climate Change for years, and because of this it is much worse than we realize and changes we have been forecasting for the distant future will be upon us much quicker than expected. This time the underestimation is because we failed to anticipate there would be fewer bright, low clouds, thus allowing the Earths surface to absorb more sunlight, 

The term describing this is called  “albedo” and refers to the ability of the Earth's surface to reflect the sun’s energy back into space.

A recently published report , utilizing satellite and reanalysis data,  identified a record-low planetary albedo as the primary factor behind temperature rises.  Saying

In 2023, the global mean temperature soared to almost 1.5K above the pre-industrial level, surpassing the previous record by about 0.17K. Previous best-guess estimates of known drivers including anthropogenic warming and the El Niño onset fall short by about 0.2K in explaining the temperature rise. 

Some of the other reasons we have been underestimating climate change is because, we have not done as much as we hoped  to reduce carbon emissions, a failure to recognize feedback loops that create a synergy by making hot hotter and even more hotter....

Everything Retains a Memory, Even Fat Cells

One of the themes of my work is that memories, thoughts and actions done someplace, attach to places and nearby objects where they transpired.  This was the core thesis of my book  Everything Has Karma, because karma needs a memory to take place. No memory--No Karma.

A recent study came out saying that fat cells retain a memory of previous obesity,  and when people lose weight that memory remains in the background encouraging weight gain. It is this memory that causes the yo-yo like fluctuations of weight loss-weight gain that many dieters succumb too.

Live Science noted,

Without weight-loss medications or bariatric surgery, most people will return to their original body mass within a few years of losing weight through a diet. This can lead to "yo-yo dieting." Scientists don't know why this happens, but genetics, environment and health history likely all play a role. Now, a study published Nov. 18 in the journal Nature adds an essential piece to this puzzle. Chemical modifications on DNA, or epigenetic markers, may help the cells retain a memory of their past state.

What is particularly interesting, arguably ironic, is that the study appeared in Nature. The same journal who blasted and ruined French scientist Jacques Benveniste for his study showing water retains a memory; and thereby legitimized homeopathy--Blasphemy.

Water does indeed retain a memory. Think of distilled water that is purified of its minerals and contaminants, people drink it to remove harmful chemicals/metals/toxins. Basically distilled water that has been purified of harmful chemicals, purifies you of harmful chemicals. It does to you what has been done to it--KARMA!

Below is a link to a video I did on the Karma of Water a while back.

I Got Zapped By A Ley line

Two days ago I took a walk late in the afternoon on a trail I have walked hundreds of time; it is a little over three miles in length. Since it gets dark earlier, I wanted to finish when  it was still light out. So, I was walking fairly fast and my heart beat reflected it. 

As I approached a little knoll going downhill I felt the space around me change, and the change affected me. It put me in a trance-like state, as if I was in deep meditation. My heart rate slowed substantially, somewhere around 40 beats a minute. Only seconds ago my heart beat was somewhere between 80-100 BPM.

I had to walk the rest of the trail in a slow manner, so as not to spike my blood pressure.

What happened?

Today I went back and walked over the section of the trail that put me in a trance state. As I thought it marked the intersection of several Ley Lines (a total of 6), or what I also call Spirit Lines, or Lines of Consciousness.

What happened to me is that I had tapped into an element of the Ley Lines. As I have noted in my books, the Unity Principle holds that consciousness merges with the consciousness it comes in contact with. And because we live in a sea of consciousness we are constantly merging with everything in contact with, that is because everything is consciousness. So you are constantly being influenced by the things you come in contact with.

While I had walked the section of the trail hundreds of times It was only the other day that I got zapped. While Ley Lines are carriers of consciousness, they can reflect a variety of kinds of consciousness and will regularly change. So what you merge with varies considerably. Think of it like eating vegetable soup. With each bite you can stock, a mushroom, a carrot...etc. Meaning each bite will vary greatly. When I got zapped I got the equivalent of a spoonful of trance state. I may walk that section of the trails thousands of times in the future and I may never be influenced in the same manner again.

Ley Lines are certainly wild and unusual. They can be powerful in different ways at different times and are greatly misunderstood. Below is a link to YouTube video on Ley Lines. I also have a playlist that is even more informative and can be accessed on my YouTube page.

Florida's Housing Boom is Becoming a Bust as People Are Fleeing the State

 Below is a link to a Breaking Points' video on how the Florida's housing boom is unraveling and people are leaving the state. The report noted that;

--There's a dearth of buyers, with several listings on the market for some time have seen no lookers.

--Large institutions have turned to sellers.

--Insurance has jumped 400% in the last five years.

--Insurers have been leaving in droves.

--The Lender of Last Resort, or Support in this case, that is meant to support the Florida home owners insurance market is floundering and in trouble.

They paint a bleak picture, that has only been exasperated by two major hurricanes in the last few months.

I have been writing about climate migration, on how people will begin to leave southern climes in favor of the north. I even wrote an article  for the March/April issue  Life In the Finger Lakes. It was a followup to a blog post I did for them five years earlier.

I have several posts on Climate Migration 

Climate Change May Be Much Worse Than Forecast

 A recently developed analysis on Climate Change looking at several models outstanding  found that we might not be doing enough ro reduce carbon emissions and the temperature rise is going to be much higher than thought. Saying,

EPFL scientists developed a tool to evaluate climate models, revealing that some predict a much hotter future due to high carbon sensitivity, suggesting current emission reduction efforts may be inadequate.

For several years I have been saying that Climate Change is being underestimated and will be much worse than forecast. Here is recent post and summary, Underestimating Climate Change. As David Wallace Wells said in his book Uninhabitable Earth  five years ago, "no matter how well-informed you are, you are surely not alarmed enough..."

We are in deep S*#t and fail to recognize the severity of Climate Change.

I Will Not Be Presenting At Pagan Pride This Saturday

 In a previous post on July 7, 2024 I posted that I will be talking about Earth Magic at Pagan Pride this Saturday. Talk on Earth Magic Saturday September 21, 2024

Unfortunately, because of illness I will not be there to speak.
