DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nNEAR TERM EXTINCTION\nwith Florence Windfall\n\n\nClimate change is 
 proceeding at a breakneck pace all around the world!  One aspect of climate 
 change is the dissolution of the Earth’s biosphere.   The biosphere was 
 created by life to support life on Earth.  It used to be a holistic 
 environment that nurtured diverse forms of life in every nook, crack, 
 corner, crevice, and open space existing on Earth.  Now that the biosphere 
 is disintegrating — dying — we humans are experiencing all kinds of 
 freak climate and extreme weather phenomena that we’re unaccustomed to.  
 And so it shall be all around the world as climate change rages out of 
 control.  It’s out of control because it has passed at least 25 tipping 
 points which climate scientists warned us about even back in the 20th 
 century.\n\n \nTipping points are the points of no return of various 
 destabilized features of the Earth’s climate called “Positive 
 Feedbacks” or “Positive Feedback Loops.”  These tipping points 
 signify the point at which there is no reversal, no going back, to the 
 previous life-friendly climate.  Today’s unstable, violent climate, 
 destroying the biosphere as it is, kills some 200 species every single day. 
  The human being is on the extinction list because the Earth’s new 
 climate, once stabilized after its out-of-control run, will be too hot for 
 life to exist.  Florence will elucidate 25 of the impending and/or passed 
 tipping points one by one.  She derives her information about climate 
 science from the research and original interpretations of Guy McPherson 
 whose website is Nature Bats Last and she understands it better from the 
 lucid explanations of Robin Westenra through his blog, Seemorerocks.  She 
 is ever grateful for their important work speaking up about near term 
 extinction — in person and on the internet — around the world.\n\nCome 
 and hear what Florence has to say and join in the discussions!\n\nHumanist 
 Hall is wheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 
 donations are expected.\n\n\n\n\n
