The 21st century serves as an inflection point of acceleration of climate instability caused by human-generated greenhouse gases, as CO2 emissions increase well beyond the rate of the prior century. It’s also a defining timeline of an astonishing ice mass loss rate of 500% more than the last decade of the previous century. Throughout human history, this has never happened with such far-reaching extent so rapidly.
The proof is found in the numbers. For example, Greenland and Antarctica combined ice mass loss is truly an eye-opener:
“The assessment is supported by NASA and the European Space Agency… The team calculated that the two ice sheets together lost 81 billion tons per year in the 1990s compared with 475 billion tons of ice per year in the 2010s a sixfold increase.”
the soviets were building a wall that ran right through the center of berlin. 20 years later the brand-new president was ronald reagan, there he is being sworn in. 1981, soviets tested his responses, tested to see what kind of president he d be with surprise soviet troop movements and border confrontations. by the fall of 1981, the soviets were carrying out the largest military exercise ever carried out by the soviet union. america s adversaries have a special way of welcoming newbie presidents. and it s often very dangerous stuff. today with news that china has seized, stolen a u.s. navy unmanned sub, on that same day coincidentally that china has launched its first ever live fire exercises by its aircraft carrier, today president obama tried to gently, gently, the incoming administration into figuring out what it s talking
