Understanding feedback mechanisms and the Arctic ice melt

This is 5 years old but a fine presentation of feedback dynamics. It was the one thing that helped me understand what is happening in the Arctic. David Wasdell is a great communicator.

Climate Dynamics: Facing the Harsh Realities of Now

When I started this blog almost 7 years ago I used to notice every mainstream article on climate change. Now there there are several every day each one full of half-truths and completely downplaying the seriousness of the situation.

The role of the media is to trivialise.

One would be much better-off spending an hour listening to David Wasdell telling you how it is - how much implicit warming is in the system that renders the Paris Agreement a lie and a sham

Full Earth System Sensitivity to CO2 has been Grossly Underestimated

10 Novvember, 2017

In this one hour long presentation by Professor David Wasdell of the Apollo Gaia Project he explains that we have no available carbon budget and that we are on a trajectory of well over 10 degrees C. This sort of global temperature rise guarantees the total collapse of the biosphere as we know it. Professor Wasdell does have a hopium moment at the end with his “ I have a dream” segment but the presentation is stunning and is a major call out of the dishonest IPCC. Business as usual brings us to 800 ppm to 900 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere which guarantees collapse of industrial civilisation and the melt down of 430 odd nuclear power stations and there attendant spent fuel pool fires.

“It is with the utmost concern that we draw your attention to the fundamental methodological flaw in the determination of the value of Climate Sensitivity that is embedded in the Summary for Policymakers of the Scientific Workgroup of the 5th Assessment Report of the IPCC. The error was replicated in the Reports of Workgroups 2 and 3 and carried forward into the Synthesis Report. It has been used as the given basis for every subsequent publication. Our radical analysis of Climate Dynamics has generated a new and robust value of “Earth System Sensitivity” which has profound implications for: • The relationship between temperature change and cumulative carbon emissions. • The calculation of “available carbon budget”. • The evaluation of the INDCs. • The terms of reference of COP21 in Paris (30 November – 11 December 2015). • The future global strategy for climate stabilisation.” Please listen to David Wasdell from the Apollo Gaia Project in his presentation entitledClimate Dynamics: Facing the Harsh Realities of Now

“If anything, climate sensitivity is higher”- Glaciologist Jason Box on Climate Sensitivity
In my November 7th interview with Professor Paul Ehrlich, Paul mentioned that he and some other colleagues have been having a dialogue in the broader scientific community about telling the truth about the severity of the crisis. His most recent paper used the expression “Biological Annihilation via the ongoing Sixth Mass Extinction” in the title, that is almost without  precedent for a science paper. Paul and I discussed the reasons why so few scientists are prepared to admit how dire the situation is due to the kind of intimidation that was directed at Michael Mann and the risk it would pose to their research grants. As always follow the money. To quote the late great Michael C Ruppert “Until you change the way that money works, you change nothing”

David Wasdell on runaway climate change

"Catastrophic climate change and runaway global warming" is a good description

Arctic Feedback Dynamics

For me this is simply one of the most informative and clear presentations on Arctic feedback dynamics.

From 2013.

Responses To Arctic Dynamics:

"Congratulations! Have now seen video through and am deeply impressed by the way you get the whole Arctic issue across. Better than I could have done. This deserves maximal exposure in the world."

Peter Wadhams - Head of the Polar Ocean Physics Group in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge.

"A very high impact presentation indeed!... I would like to emphasise the importance and value of your brilliant work, and invite you to speak once more at the ICES Biennial Workshop here in Geneva - in front of 45 chosen people.

Bob Bishop - Chairman & Founder of BBWORLD Consulting Services Sàrl and President & Founder of The ICES Foundation, both Geneva-based organizations.

"I spent time listening to your video in which I found to be a very compelling argument for climate change impact of potentially horrendous proportions in the immediate future. ... I felt the quality of this recording to be far superior to some of the previous ones you made. I think you have reached the capacity to produce a very professional level of video presentations. I was thinking of sharing this latest presentation with the Director of INternational Center for Migration, Health and Development in Geneva."

George Dorros - Completed a long career with the World Health Organization. Professional expertise in the field of Change Management

David Wasdell: at least 5C of warming and 2 metres of sea level rise IMPLICIT

I missed this the first time when it was broadcast. This presentation by David Wasdell makes it clear why it is absolutely impossible to meet the 2C target of Paris and so beloved of ‘official’ scientists like Michael Mann.

He explains how there is already sufficient warming to destroy civilisation inherent in the system as it is now with over 400ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere.

He also explains why the concept of a carbon budget was beyond me. It is nonsense.

Facing the Harsh Realities of Now

An interview with David Wasdell

Radio Eco Shock

SUMMARY: David Wasdell, head of the Apollo-Gaia Project, returns to Radio Ecoshock with devastating revelations about how climate science has been manipulated or ignored by the IPCC, and by the leaders meeting in Paris. We are committed to far more than 2 degrees of warming. A vastly changed world awaits. Radio Ecoshock 151118.

Are you ready for the harsh reality of our future in a hotter world? Can any of us really handle the truth? If you feel strong enough, this may be the most devastating look into where we really stand. Perhaps you remember UK writer Mark Lynas stunning us with the awful changes on Earth if we warm by 5 degrees Centigrade. We may not survive six.

Many hope the climate talks in Paris can reach an agreement that will save a livable climate, keeping global warming below 2 degrees C. But what if the national leaders are just players on a stage of illusion? What if someone told you our current levels of greenhouse gases already commit us to more than 6 degrees of global warming, and over 12 meters, over 36 feet higher sea levels? And that may not be the worst of it.

Climate Dynamics: Facing the Harsh Realities of Now

Climate Sensitivity, Target Temperature & the Carbon Budget

Guidelines for Strategic Action

It is with the utmost concern that we draw your attention to the fundamental methodological flaw in the determination of the value of Climate Sensitivity that is embedded in the Summary for Policymakers of the Scientific Workgroup of the 5th Assessment Report of the IPCC. The error was replicated in the Reports of Workgroups 2 and 3 and carried forward into the Synthesis Report. It has been used as the given basis for every subsequent publication. Our radical analysis of Climate Dynamics has generated a new and robust value of "Earth System Sensitivity" which has profound implications for:


• The relationship between temperature change and cumulative carbon emissions.
• The calculation of "available carbon budget".
• The evaluation of the INDCs.
• The terms of reference of COP21 in Paris (30 November - 11 December 2015).
• The future global strategy for climate stabilisation.

Our analysis is published in dual media (triple-screen video and fully illustrated PDF). These can be used separately or in combination.
