Climate change-driven shifts in the circulation of waters to the deepest reaches of the ocean around Antarctica, which could reverberate across the planet and intensify global warming, are happening decades "ahead of schedule", according to new research.
The climate models initially used by scientists forecast significant changes by 2050 through the end of the century. Current technology, information and data sets have changed that timeline to 2030, sooner than expected.
And not only for the Antarctic. Melting of the Greenland ice sheet, the permafrost and sea ice in the Arctic, glaciers in Europe and around the world, severe droughts, sea level rise - ALL happening faster than expected. El Nino is expected to intensify temperature increases MAKING THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THE HOTTEST ON RECORD.
A well-known climate scientist and activist said to put a note on your refrigerator door that says “We’re running out of food”. Leave it there, don’t take it off. It’s a reminder to prepare NOW for worldwide food supply disruptions due to coming crop failures.
Global starvation and malnutrition “at biblical proportions” according to the United Nations. Hundreds of millions of people are already on the edge - double the number of people prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
