The Feared 2° Temp Rise is Here, The Richest 1% pollute more than the bottom 66%

It is believed  that the Earth past a key temperature rise of 2° Celsius above preindustrial levels of 1850-1900 this past Friday and Saturday. Thus indicating that global warming is accelerating, especially  when compared with the 1991-2020 average, Friday's global mean was a record-setting 1.17°C (2.1°F) above average. 

As noted earlier in the month feedback loops are feeding the flames of climate change. http://motherearthprayers.blogspot.com/2023/11/underestimating-climate-change.html

The Rich are driving Climate Change

Oxfam reported 

1) That in 2019, the super-rich 1% were responsible for more carbon emissions than 66% of humanity (5 billion people).

2) Emissions of the richest 1% will cause 1.3 million heat-related deaths between 2020 and 2030—roughly the equivalent of the entire population of Dallas.

WOW. Another angle of wealth inequality that people are not talking about.

Geomantica Magazine--Fairy Haunts, Ley Lines, Esoteric Bee Keeping, Upcoming Fairy Conference and more

The latest issue of Geomantic Magazine is out.  It's focus is on Mother Earth, dowsing, electropollution, Earth Energies and permaculture. It is produced by Australian Alanna Moore, an accomplished dowser known for her permaculture work, who now resides in Ireland with her husband.

I have written several articles for the magazine over the last decade plus. In the current issue I have an article titled 'Where Ley Lines Originate From.'

In issue 87 November 2023 Alanna talks about Her upcoming book, Fairy Haunts of Ireland and provides excerpt from the book as well.

It also contains news on electropollutoin, aboriginal song lines and information on the upcoming gathering for the fourth Fairy Congress to be held online on. It is called the 'Gaian Conference,' Co-creating With the Subtle Realms' and is scheduled to take place January 19-21, 2024. There is much more such esoteric bee keeping.

Congressional Report on Climate Change

The  congressionally mandated report on climate change the Fifth Climate Assessment was released today. While the report found that the uSa continues to make improvements in slowing climate change, but not fast enough. Here are some of the findings of the report.

--Extreme cold events are decreasing while extreme heat events are rising.

--Climate change is exacerbating inequities.

--Water safety is increasingly becoming a concern. Inland flooding, drought and sea level rises are reducing the amount of potable water.

--Food disruptions will continue to increase because of  flooding, droughts and other factors.

--Climate change is making life difficult in certain places. The report singled out California (wildfires), Florida (sea level rise) and Texas (flooding) forecasting they will see large displacements of people.

--Rising global emissions are driving globalwarming, with faster warming in the US.

--Climate change will slow the economy, climate actions will present opportunities.

31 Columns of Sones Marching up a Hill

 

I went back to Delaware County with my friend Peter to try and find the stone columns I found last April.Here is the first in a series of write-ups on that visit, http://motherearthprayers.blogspot.com/2023/04/survey-delaware-counties-stone-columns.html Unfortunately when we went back in late June we got lost and could not find the stone columns and had to bushwhack through some very overgrown areahttp://motherearthprayers.blogspot.com/2023/06/i-went-back-to-delaware-county-where-i.html

We were very fortunate grateful this time to find the stone columns, having lots of leaves having fallen to the ground helped. Below is a YouTube video of that visit. I hope to get back in the next few weeks for a followup of some of the things we found.

Underestimating Climate Change

For years I have been saying that we are underestimating the affects of Climate Change. Here are a few of my posts over the years, We Continue to Underestimate the Magnitude of Our Climate Crisis--Glaciers.  Report--Climate Change much Worse, Report Released on Black Friday to try and Bury the Bad News. Then recently I ran across a report by two Oregon State researchers saying that indeed we have been underestimating the affects of Climate Change.

Basically, Climate Change is creating feedback loops, hereto unrecognized, that are amplifying the affects of Climate Change.

An international collaboration led by Oregon State University scientists has identified 27 global warming accelerators known as amplifying feedback loops, including some that the researchers say may not be fully accounted for in climate models...

In climate science, amplifying feedback loops are situations where a climate-caused alteration can trigger a process that causes even more warming, which in turn intensifies the alteration. An example would be warming in the Arctic, leading to melting sea ice, which results in further warming because sea water absorbs rather than reflects solar radiation. Science Daily
