Climate change could happen much faster than previously thought

Humans are in danger of making large parts of the Earth uninhabitable for thousands of years because of man made climate change, according to new evidence based on geological records.

4. Agreed. We are in it now at a rapid pace. World Leaders are selfish ignoramuses that
refuse to throw the polluting Corporations under the bus.

6. Sadly, I think the World leaders and the corporate elite are pretty much now
the same people --

Obviously, they've known this was coming -- while they lied to the public --

and I think these huge moves to replace sovereign governments with corporate government

is really about them trying to assure that by the time the public figures out Global Warming

it will be impossible to hold any of these people responsible.

Not that we're going to care about that much as we lose our ability to survive on this planet!

The rid down is not going to be fun --

and as scientists told us decades ago, "no one knows how all of this will compound."

We still have people denying that increased earthquake activity is part of this --

and presumably increasing volcanic activity, as well.

5. Fully agree with you -- and have to admit that ...
I haven't had time to fully read the reports coming in from Australia, for one.

Nor did I even read this article yet -- way behidn at moment in reading!!

Growing numbers of deaths all over the world --

and problems with growing foods is now and will be increasing as far as I can see!
