Let’s collaborate to navigate these times

Expect 20-30 feet of sea level rise (minimum) if we follow our current path.

#Florence 11 pm Tuesday update released.

If on the coast near the cone, EVACUATE.

If in rain blast zone, evacuate or stock up (7+ days) and hunker down on higher ground.

See the 4th picture. Florence is fueled by unprecedented build up of heat along the coast. See it’s path where the heat was sucked up to power the storm.

Get real about this. Learn about it. Talk about #AbruptClimateChange.

NHC Update, 11am:

Hurricane #Florence continues on track for a history-making landfall in North Carolina -- with potential simultaneous new all-time East Coast records for wind, rainfall, and storm surge.

A word on each of those three main threats:

Worth pulling up the birdsite to stay current IMHO.

5am Tuesday models

Hurricane #Florence 11pm Monday update.

This storm is fueled by an unprecedented build up of heat in the water along the coast. This has never happened before to humans.

⚠️ If near the cone on coast, GTFO!

⚠️ If in rain blast zone, hunker down on higher ground. Stock up now. Help each other.

Take this seriously. Reach out to people directly because people need advance warning.

Please RT or share graphics directly.

Hot enough yet to take it seriously?

@brianpoe Note: the 2030 ice free timeline given in the article may be overly optimistic. Keep an eye on Arctic cyclone activity, El Nino, and any loss of global dimming upon economic crisis.

Don't despair. Get informed and get to work. We must build a parallel plan for meeting our needs. #permaculture #StrongTowns #AppropriateTechnology

A small weight, "m1", added to one side represents warming forcings (e.g., excess #CO2).

Without feedbacks (valve between bottles closed), the weight causes a small tilt.

With positive feedbacks (valve open), the weight causes water to flow and a much larger tilt occurs.

The Earth has several known positive feedbacks (e.g., albedo, methane turnover, added water vapor).

A flowchart for collective fact finding in these complex times 😀
Sent to me by a friend and thought I'd share.

We must remind ourselves on a regular basis because rationality isn't the native state of the human mind (see http://righteousmind.com/). The more we learn how our "wetware" works, the better we can use it!
