“The precious Amazon is teetering on the edge of functional destruction and, with it, so are we,” Thomas Lovejoy of George Mason University and Carlos Nobre of the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, both of whom have studied the world’s largest rainforest for decades, wrote in an editorial in the journal Science Advances. “Today, we stand exactly in a moment of destiny: The tipping point is here, it is now.”
Combined with recent news that the Arctic permafrost may be beginning to fill the atmosphere with greenhouse gases, and that Greenland’s ice sheet is melting at an accelerating pace, it’s the latest hint that important parts of the climate system may be moving toward irreversible changes at a pace that defies earlier predictions.
What the CIA of the USA hAs been doing since at least the 1940s in other countries and are doing with a vengeance for the last 3 years, that being overthrowing elected presidents and replacement who are deferential to The USA is becoming the rule, not the exception.The shall I say, threats and sanctions against the Nordstrum pipeline is not what the USA was about. This is the worst new normal and war Will ensue.Please mr government man, don’t hurt me! I’m just a little pet rabbit.
