textForgotten Mountains. Why Kilimanjaro, Tibet, Himalaya, Greenland Are So Warm? by Zbigniew Charnas
Counting from the altitude temperature gradient, the warming of Kilimanjaro's summit – where the snows have just disappeared and the glacier melted – we get warming over a century by about 5 *C. That is, it is four times higher than on average on the Earth's surface at the same time. Global warming on the Earth’s sea and land surface of about 1.5 *C for the period 1900 – 2023 is not adequate indicator to the all 3D warming process. The Earth is not flat. The adequate for global warming-vapour...

textA Simple Algorithm Shows All Global Warming Temperatures by Zbigniew Charnas
It turned out in the summer of 2023 that the forecasts of the UN IPCC scientific panel could already be consigned to the bad archive of history. A linear extrapolation of the trend from 2000 to 2023 would result in a value reaching 3 *C of warming of the Earth's surface at the end of the 21st century. The maximum level indicated was 4.5 *C. In 2023, we can talk about the development of an increase in this temperature to at least 10 *C plus, and maybe up to 17 *C plus (CH4 clathrates). It turn...

LOS ANGELES, September 27, 2023 — The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California today upheld Santa Barbara County’s denial of ExxonMobil’s proposal to transport oil by tanker trucks along hazardous California highways.

textClimate strike: How elites have been fighting Generation Alarm for five years by David Goessmann
Some activists are later sentenced to pay millions in damages, others have to spend months in prison for their civil disobedience.

textClimate catastrophe and `freedom of consumption' by Thomas Meyer

The fact that climate change is a fact (the details may well be debated) and poses a serious threat to humanity is something that the last fool should have realized by now.1 It is also clear that the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases must be radically and rapidly reduced....

So it's high time for the left to break out of its shock paralysis, to start politicizing knowledge again and to develop its own models and approaches that are both bigger and smaller than the warning about the end of humanity.
