Last Hours

It’s hard not to be impressed that, in the world of climate activism, the doomsday clock always remains suspended at five minutes to midnight…no matter how dire the evidence, there’s always a chance we can pull back from the brink if we ONLY go vegan/stop KXL/put up a solar panel/etc.  The video embedded below – Last Hours – comes closer than most sources at saying it’s already TOO late.  The scientists are finally getting scared enough to speak publicly about tipping points beyond which there is no salvation.
The bad-girl tipping point that has the Miley Cyrus starring role in the film is methane release (what wait, you missed her SNL Michele Bachmann twerk?).  I have always thought that it (NOT the twerk, runaway greenhouse warming!) became inevitable decades ago, but it will be interesting to see which tipping point of several ultimately becomes viewed (in retrospect) first.
This is from the IPCC AR5 Working Group 1 Technical Summary (final draft)
“Abrupt climate change is defined in AR5 as a large-scale change in the climate system that takes place over a few decades or less, persists (or is anticipated to persist) for at least a few decades, and causes substantial disruptions in human and natural systems.”
They add examples but notice what they also point to:
“Examples of components susceptible to such abrupt change are the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), clathrate methane release, tropical and boreal forest dieback, disappearance of summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, long-term drought and monsoonal circulation.  {5.7, 6.4.7, 12.5.5; Table 12.4}”
That’s right – tropical and boreal forests dieback, which is ALREADY in dieback, from pollution.
I will attempt to do some more autumn posts about the incredibly early loss of leaves, far worse this year than ever before – leaves are shriveling up rather than turning bright colors at an astonishing rate.  If I have enough to pay the freight, I’ll take another hot air balloon ride – which I filmed on October 23, 2011.  In the meantime, here are links to some earlier ones from seasons past if anyone wants to compare the condition of trees over time:
