Woah. Feel this Bern. I subscribe to the Arctic News blog from the climate scientists who study the Arctic climate change phenomena. Here is some hair-raising information from today's article, an infographic by the brilliant Dr. Sam Carana. It looks at the range of possible global temps in 2026, ten years from now.

Carana asks whether the temperature rise a decade from now (without geoengineering) would be at the low end - 38F (3.5C) hotter than 2016, or at the higher end - 50F (10C) hotter than 2016. The infographic shows the share of the main contributors and I encourage you to read the article.

Ten Degrees Warmer In A Decade?

Bernie is the only candidate who grasps runaway climate change. Clinton understands climate change, but nothing in her history suggests she would consider runaway climate change until it fries her. The GOP don't live on planet earth, so um, la-la-la. If this was 23 August 79 C.E., Bernie'd be the one leading people out of Pompeii, Hillary would be busy in a policy meeting, and the GOP would be the oblivious drunks in the pub.

As the Jewish scriptures teaches, "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the Law, happy is he." (Proverbs 29:18 Christian translation - Authorized Version) In their context, the Law meant the Torah. In our situation, perhaps the Law refers to the Laws of Physics, eh.

The Arctic News blog publishes an article about 2-3 times per month. I encourage you to get their RSS feed.

Peace be with us, if we work for it with peaceful hearts.
