Should have taken warning..

Few seem to realize how much our survival is at stake. If a 76% decline of insects was observed in 27 years in German nature reserves, the 'decline' would reach 100% in 36 years (conservatively, ignoring ecosystem collapse feedbacks). Meaning *all* flying insects in these nature reserves could be gone by 2027. Oh, and plants are in decline too. These are all assuming linear decline rates, while all we observe is exponential rates of change. That's not good. If 60 percent of the world's fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles have disappeared in the last 45 years, wouldn't the remaining 40% also disappear in the coming 30 years? We're not significantly changing that course of events, are we? And wouldn't we, humans, then be part of those remaining 40%? If not: What bees do we expect pollinate our crops? Are we going to create sufficient artificial biospheres in time for it to actually function as a stable fake-earth, a replacement habitat? Do we know enough to get the details right? Where are we getting the resources and funding for that? Who gets to go inside that fake-earth when wet-bulb temperatures or radiation levels become too high? We can't shut down…

This is MY boomstick!

How fed up is the public at large with this nuclear bullshit and these existential threats of the powers that be? I'm surprised nobody ever started crowdfunding a hitman to eliminate *all* those who still perform nuke tests. These child-like 'leaders' keep thinking about these exploding bombs and tests as if there are walls surrounding them, as if they take place on different planets. We'll all suffer the consequences, no matter where they're being used. These nuke tests *already* impact the ozone layer and give rise to skin cancers worldwide, not to mention the local effects of radiation. They ruin all our motivations, incite depression, cause cancer, destroy future prospects for life on our planet. Would be interesting to see what happens if you'd crowdfund hits for this publicly. Should possible crimes against humanity be punished with the death penalty? Fighting fire with another very low casualties fire is probably the only option with these idiots. Jack Bauer would have chosen this in a heartbeat.

Where to go for survival?

The most asked question I get, from those assuming I'm better informed on this subject than they are, is "So where do I move to survive all this?". I've been researching this (human survival) on several separate occasions the past three decades. One crucial requirement is the lack of seismic destruction, either by tsunami or by living on top of tectonic hazardous areas. So, scratching that off the list leaves the areas that will suffer the least from a warming planet. One would assume that would be the polar regions, but that's a big mistake. Both poles are going to suffer immensely from warmer than normal surface (and ocean) temperatures. Aside from the soil being practically dead from the fast changes in temperature, there's not much organic life that survives ice to heat in the currently observed time-spans. I'll elaborate more on all this as time passes, and will update this message/article, but for now I'll post my findings thus far, the short-cut to a valuable answer to the question without the background info; I'd advice the Heard & McDonald islands and/or the Falkland Islands. They'll stay coldest the longest in the future, as do the seas around them, so…

Lord Commander Marmelade is losing it

Knowing there's some states and mayors suing the Trump administration, I'm still flabbergasted at how lame and obedient everyone in trump's surroundings seems to be. You can open your mouth, take some risk, refuse to follow orders, refuse to leave your job, just let these fools know you're not going to join them in ruining the world like this. Ask your friend/colleague (who is probably thinking the same) to join you in that refusal. What are these men policing all this thinking anyway? That they're protecting their offspring or families? Really, you think? Why are police officers, military personnel, marines, special forces, going down that road of being anti-intellectual dipshit robot-like slaves of destruction? For crying out loud, are they deaf or insane? Iran has 150 *billion* barrels of (cheap) oil reserves ready to get out of the ground. 205 oil reservoirs, 92 natural gas reservoirs. Just sayin'. My guess is they're also predicting that the longer they wait taking their oil, the hotter it gets over there. You can't drill when it's over 55C in the shade all year 'round. It's just such a waste of time and energy to have this total jackass leading the media and news…
