  • A Florida-sized glacier in the western Antarctic is currently holding back enough ice to raise sea levels around the world by 10 feet. And a new study found its safeguards could collapse in less than a decade.

The paradox is that progressive action on climate change will go a long way to conserve life as we know it while a rigid holding onto things as they are is setting up for shocking losses. Exxon Mobil Lobbying will not have the power to stop the accelerating impacts of climate change. It's coming down to the choice of making some moderate sacrifices in the present or being compelled to let go of things as they have been through very severe sacrifices in a future that is much closer than what Exxon and Manchin would care to recognize. Such things are the result of short sighted thinking and greed which is ironically being led by Boomers who ironically were supposed to be this Peace and Love generation but turned out be only for themselves at great cost to themselves and any future generation that potentially survives this Insanity.

      Donald (King) John (the Baptist) Trump (G.O.A.T) was born during a Super Wolf Blood Moon 7 days before the Summer solstice under Orion the Mighty Hunter, 700 days before the founding of Israel. He was inaugurated on the Centenary of the Bolshevik revolution and the capture of Jerusalem aged 70yrs 7 months and 7 days, he moved the embassy to Jerusalem on israel's 70th anniversary and lives on the 66th floor of 666ft Trump tower with a giant mural of Zeus on his penthouse ceiling. Seig hail is the Greek salute to Zeus, or the Sun. His Tropical Sunsign is Gemini, the Twins, but his Siderial sign is Taurus, his starsign is Capricorn but is really Serpentis, the Serpent Bearer. Biden is a Scorpio, aka the Scorpion King, who stings Osiris' ankle, in order for Isis to resurrect him in the form of Serpentis 13th Sunsign of the Babylonian Zodiac. MAGA is latin for wizard, and Klan wizards burn the Phoenician Sun God Symbol in illumination ceremonies aka pyre rites or Holocaustis, meaning "burnt offering" just like the burning of effigies at Bohemian Grove in the Cremation of Care Ceremony.
      The first form of the Bible, the Vaticanus Graecus was written around the same time as the Antikythera mechanism was built in 325BC. The name means Son of the Serpent, a reference to Hydra in Leo, and Fomalhaut in Aquarius, in the 3rd Century AD Astrologer Vettori Valentinus used the Vaticanus Graecus to construct a 13 cycle Lunar Zodiac. King Sigismund God King Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (who commisioned the Rosslyn Chapel) gave Count Dracuul his name in 1431, it means Order of the Dragon, and Dracula means Son of the Dragon, Chertoff means Son of the Devil in Russian. The original name of the Templars was the Great Brotherhood of the White Serpent, and the Essenes were dedicated to interpreting the Mysteries of Pythagoras, whose name means Heart of the Serpent, a reference to Alphard in Hydra, called the Vermilion Dragon by the Chinese, the Constellation associated with the Phoenix, who appears on the Eastern Horizon at Xmas, when Osiris is at it's Zenith. Next to Orion is Pleiades, in the center of which is Alcyone, which sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac.
      Trump shares his birthday with Osiris, St John, Aleister Crowley, and Aushwitz, and 14 days before his coup attempt Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus shared a Great Conjunction in Aquarius, the brightest since it happened in Virgo, Beth Elam, House of Bread or Fruit in 7BC. He also watched an Annular eclipse on his birthday halfway through his first term. Israel is the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, Fruit of Isis and Ra, Serpentis, or Eschmun, the Widow's Scion, Phoenician God of Healing, who became Apollo, Zeus of the Cave, a reference to Serpentis, which is shaped like a cave, and whose Scion was Asclepius, from whom we get the Caduceus. And before Eschmun it was Enoch, Hermes, and Thoth, who is the Son of Set, or Typhon.
      The Cave of Apollo in Cilicia and Delphi is also the home of Typhon, Tphens or Zaphon, the 100 Headed God, Hydra takes up 100 degrees of the Zodiac. It was Hermes Trismegistus who placed his Emerald Tablets inside the Arc of the Covenant, buried beneath pillars of Emerald and Gold. Those Pillars can only be found at the Temple of Melqart, in Tyre, which means Rock, and sits offshore of Urshu Shalom, City of the New Moon, the root word of Jerusalem. It is the first New Moon in September that marks Rosh Hashanah, the Egyptian, Phoenician, Jewish, Assyrian and Celtic New Year, marking the start and end of the Zodiac, the Alpha Aleph, being Taurus and Pleiades and the Omega, Isis. Between these sits Sirius, aka Thoth, from which the Syrians take their name. The Temple was built when Rameses II married Jezebel, the Hittite Princess from Sidon, which means Kingdom of the Fish, the Phoenician Symbol for fish is X, which became the Chi Rho, and later the Latin Exe. She was the Daughter of Hiram, who built the Tower of Babel for Pharoah, in order to meet the God of Moses. This marriage in 911BC marked the founding of the Neo Assyrian Empire. Their Son is Eshmun, the God of Healing, aka Baal, or Lord, Pan is the Slavic word for Lord. The Grotto of Pan can be found at Mt Hermon, which was considered a Grove, and where the head of Goliath is buried. Israel is currently building a Temple to Trump at the summit. Another name for Enoch is El Ashmunein.
      The Catholic Jesus is based on Melqart and Hercules, Tammuz, Apollo, his best analogy though is Dionysus, God of Wine, born to Zeus and Persophenes, who sits atop the Capitol building in DC, she's the wife of Hades/Zeus in the form of a Serpent, and Goddess of War, Pain Suffering and Death, aka Isis, Athena, Sekhmet, Kali, Kybele, Gebal, Gabriel, Mary. Her mother is Demeter, Goddess of Grain. Holodomor means pain offering, just like in Georgia in 33 under Stalin. 2021 marks 33 years to 2054, the 1000th anniversary of the Schism of Rome, when global average temperatures are set to hit plus 5 degrees celcius, at plus 2 we can't grow grain at scale and 9 billion people will lose 90% of their food supply.

Another factoid you can rest assured that the failures to actually do so can be laid primarily at the feet of the Republican Party.

It was an arduous trip because of how much ice was normally there. 65 years later you can now book a cruise ship to do iron relative comfort. It's not because ships have become better to any real degree, it's because there is less ice just as predicted. That it is taking a few extra years for it to happen just shows predicting weather is complicated but is correct.

But our technology allows it to be done, and I am confident if worse comes to worst one way or another people around the world will realize the value and necessity in cooperation to work together on a short term solution while we quickly find long term solutions.

Peak last summer was around 118 for a couple days. They say global temps may rise 1 degree Celsius in the next 50 years. 1 degree doesn't sound like much to the average American. They aren't used to Celsius. But if you told them that it could be 138 degrees in the Summer where you live, in 25 years, they wouldn't believe it.
