PART-1: A TRANSCRIPT OF WHAT THE DAVID SAYS

VOICE-OVER: ARE WE AT RISK OF DESTABILIZING THE WHOLE PLANET?

THE DAVID: RECENT DISCOVERIES MADE BY SCIENTISTS STUDYING THE WAYS IN WHICH OUR PLANET WORKS ARE SURELY OF THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE FOR ALL OF US. THEIR INSIGHTS ARE DEEPLY TROUBLING BUT THEY ALSO GIVE US HOPE BECAUSE THEY SHOW US HOW WE CAN FIX THINGS. JOHAN ROCKSTROM {Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University} HAS FOCUSED ON WHAT KEEPS OUR PLANET STABLE. HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES AROUND THE WORLD DISCOVERED THE MOST IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC INSIGHT OF OUR TIME.

HIS CHART IS A REVELATION. IT SHOWS GLOBAL TEMPERATURE VARIABILITY OVER THE PAST 100,000 YEARS SINCE THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF MODERN HUMANS. THE OLDER TEMPERATURES WERE EXTREMELY VOLATILE WITH 10C VARIABILITY PER DECADE. THIS VOLATILITY STABILIZED JUST 10,000 YEARS AGO. GEOLOGISTS HAVE GIVEN THIS PERIOD OF STABILITY ITS OWN SPECIAL NAME. IT IS CALLED THE HOLOCENE.

{JOHAN}: The Holocene is remarkable. It is a warm period where the planet global mean temperarure varies between just plus or minus 1C over the whole of the Holocene}.

{THE DAVID} THE HOLOCENE’S STABLE TEMPERATURES GAVE US A STABLE PLANET. SEA LEVELS STABILIZED. FOR THE FIRST TIME WE HAD PREDICTABLE SEASONS AND RELIABLE WEATHER. THIS STABILITY WAS FUNDAMENTAL. FOR THE FIRST TIME CIVILIZATION WAS POSSIBLE AND HUMANITY WASTED NO TIME IN TAKING ADVANTAGE. {JOHAN}: THE HOLOCENE IS THE ONLY STATE OF THE PLANET WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT CAN SUPPORT THE MODERN WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. {IMAGE OF CIVILIZATION PROVIDED BY THE DAVID IS SHOWN BELOW}

{BLOGGER’S COMMENT: HERE WE FIND THAT THE GREAT NATURE MAN AND HIS TEAM OF SUPER SCIENTISTS HAVE MADE THE AMAZING DISCOVERY THAT INTERGLACIAL CLIMATE IS MORE STABLE THAN GLACIATION CYCLES}.

{THE DAVID} “BUT WE HAVE JUST LEFT THE HOLOCENE BEHIND”. {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: NO SIR WE HAVE NOT LEFT THE HOLOCENE BEHIND, WE ARE STILL IN THE HOLOCENE INTERGLACIAL. WE WILL HAVE LEFT IT BEHIND WHEN THEN NEXT GLACIATION BEGINS}

{JOHAN} THE EXPONENTIAL RISE OF HUMAN PRESSURES ON PLANET EARTH HAS REACHED A STAGE WHERE WE HAVE NOW CREATED OUR OWN GEOLOGICAL EPOCH. {THE DAVID} WE ARE NOW IN THE ANTHROPOCENE, THE AGE OF HUMANS, BECAUSE WE ARE NOW THE PRIMARY DRIVERS OF CHANGE ON PLANET EARTH. {JOHAN} IT’S A MIND BOGGLING SITUATION TO BE IN. FOR THE FIRST TIME WE HUMANS HAVE TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THE RISK THAT WE CAN DESTABILIZE THE ENTIRE PLANET. {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: THESE HUMANS HAVE GROSSLY OVER ESTIMATED THEMSELVES: LINK: https://tambonthongchai.com/2020/07/31/planetary-environmentalism-in-the-anthropocene/ }

{THE DAVID} THERE IS A DANGER THAT WE HAVE ALREADY CROSSED THE BOUNDARY OF EARTH’S CLIMATE {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: HOW COULD WE HAVE CROSSED THE BOUNDARY OF EARTH’S CLIMATE WITHIN AN INTERGLACIAL WHEN THE EARTH HAS GONE THROUGH MILLIONS OF YEARS OF GLACIATION CYCLES?}. THE MOST ALARMING EVIDENCE OF THIS IS IN THE CHANGE OF OUR PLANET’S ICE. {JOHAN} HAVING TWO ICE CAPS OF PERMANENT ICE IN THE ARCTIC AND IN ANTARCTICA IS THE VERY PRE-CONDITION FOR THE PLANET TO STAY IN THE STATE THAT HAS ALLOWED US TO DEVELOP HUMAN CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT. A PERMANENT WHITE SURFACE LIKE WHAT WE CAN SEE AT THE TWO POLAR REGIONS IS REFLECTING BACK 90% TO 95% OF THE INCOMING HEAT FROM THE SUN. WHEN THESE ICE SHEETS START MELTING YOU CAN COME TO A POINT WHERE THE ICE SHEETS TIP OVER FROM BEING SELF COOLING TO BECOMING SELF WARMING, AND THAT IS THE MOST DRAMATIC TIPPING POINT IN THE EARTH SYSTEM. {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: AT THE MAXIMUM RATE OF ICE LOSS RECORDED IN THIS INTERGLACIAL THE GREENLAND ICE SHEET WILL BE GONE IN 7,100 YEARS UNLESS THE NEXT GLACIATION INTERVENES}.

{THE DAVID} A TIPPING POINT IS A POINT BEYOND WHICH THE CHANGE BECOMES IRREVERSIBLE. {PROFESSOR JASON BOX} DURING THE CURRENT CLIMATE GREENLAND IS ALREADY BEYOND ITS THRESHOLD WHERE IT IS NOW LOSING 10,000 CUBIC METERS OF ICE PER SECOND {EQUIVALENT TO 290 GIGATONNES PER YEAR (GTY) IF THE PER SECOND RATE PERSISTS ALL YEAR}. THAT’S THE AVERAGE LOSS RATE. THIS RATE OF ICE LOSS IS LESS THAN THE AVERAGE ANNUAL LOSS RECORDED BY THE IMBIE TEAM OF 370 GTY. At 370 gigatons per year, the Greenland ice sheet will be gone in 7,100 years while raising sea level at a rate of  about 1 mm/year  until the sea level rises 7.36 meters 7,100 years from now.

{JASON} THE DRAMA HERE IS THAT ONE CHARACTERISTIC OF TIPPING POINTS IS THAT THERE IS NO OFF BUTTON. ONCE YOU PRESS THE ON-BUTTON, YOU CANNOT STOP IT. IT TAKES OVER. IT’S TOO LATE. IT’S NOT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND AND BACK OFF. ONCE A TIPPING POINT SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED IT IS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

{PROF RICARDA WINKELMANN} THE IMPORTANT POINT TO MAKE HERE IS THAT EVERYTHING IN THE EARTH SYSTEM IS CONNECTED SO THAT IF ONE PART OF THE CLIMATE SYSTEM CROSSES A TIPPING POINT THEN THAT MIGHT MAKE IT MORE LIKELY FOR OTHER PARTS OF THE SYSTEM TO ALSO CROSS THEIR CRITICAL THRESHOLD. YOU CAN THINK OF IT IN TERMS OF DOMINOES. IF YOU TIP ONE OF THEM OVER YOU INITIATE A CASCADING EFFECT.

{JASON} WHEN WE CROSS A TIPPING POINT WHAT WE GET IS IRREVERSIBLE CHANGES AND THAT WOULD MEAN THAT THE PLANET WILL GO FROM OUR BEST FRIEND WHERE OFFSETTING CHANGES MAINTAIN STABILITY TO A CONDITION WHERE CHANGES ONCE STARTED ARE NOTBALANCED OUT BUT RE-ENFORCED SUCH THAT THIS OFF-BALANCE SYSTEM IS NOW A FOE. {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: THE PHRASE TIPPING POINT IS AN OVERUSED HYPOTHETICAL WITH NO TIME SCALE BEING APPLIED TO RELATIVELY BRIEF INTERGLACIALS IN BETWEEN THE NORMAL GLACIATION STATE “OF THE PLANET”}.

{THE DAVID} IN 1988 WE PASSED 350 PARTS PER MILLION OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE. THIS WAS THE MOMENT WE CROSSED THE BOUNDARY. EVER SINCE THEM WE’VE BEEN AT RISK OF TRIGGERING CHANGES THAT LEAD TO RUNAWAY WARMING. {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: IF 350PPM WAS THE BOUNDARY TO HELL HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE DAVID TO BE ON YOUTUBE AT 415 PPM? OR IS THE REAL BOUNDARY 450PPM LIKE JASON SAYS?}

{JASON} RIGHT NOW WE’VE REACHED A POINT OF CO2 CONCENTRATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE OF ROUGHLY 415 PARTS PER MILLION, BEING THE IMPACT OF THE HEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANGER ZONE IN THE CLIMATE BOUNDARY IN TERMS OF RISING FREQUENCY OF DROUGHTS AND HEAT WAVES AND FLOODS AND ACCELERATED MELTING OF ICE AND ACCELERATED THAWING OF PERMAFROST AND HIGHER FREQUENCY OF FOREST FIRES. TODAY OUR ASSESSMENT IS THAT THE CERTAINTY RANGE OF SCIENCE LIES BETWEEN 350PPM, THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE SAFE ZONE AND THE BEGINNING OF THE DANGER ZONE, UP TO 450 PPM WHERE YOU EXIT THE DANGER ZONE AND ENTER THE HIGH RISK ZONE.

{THE DAVID} IF WE ENTER THE HIGH RISK ZONE IRREVERSIBLE TIPPING POINTS BECOME HIGHLY LIKELY IF NOT INEVITABLE AND THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE GIVEN THAT THE SIGNS OF TIPPING POINTS ARE ALL AROUND US NOW. WE ARE FAST APPROACHING A MAJOR TIPPING POINT IN ONE OF THE PLANET’S LARGEST REMAINING WILDERNESSES – THE AMAZON. LARGE PARTS OF THE RAIN FOREST ARE DRYING OUT. AS THE FOREST IS REDUCED AND FRAGMENTED, ITS ABILITY TO RECYCLE WATER AND GENERATE RAIN INTO THE DRY SEASON IS DIMINISHED. IF THE DRY SEASON BECOMES LONGER THAN 4 MONTHS, THE JUNGLE TREES DIE AND THEY ARE REPLACED BY SAVANNA AND CARBON IS RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. CHARLES NOBRE HAS CALCULATED THAT THE AMAZON COULD RELEASE 200 BILLION TONNES OVER THE NEXT THIRTY YEARS, EQUIVALENT TO ALL THE CARBON EMITTED WORLDWIDE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: REPEATED USE OF WORDS LIKE “COULD” AND “TIPPING POINT” WITHOUT DETAILS AND DATA DOES NOT HAVE A RATIONAL INFORMATION CONTENT}

{CARLOS NOBRE} WE ARE VERY VERY CLOZZ TO THE TEEPING POINT. ARE WE CONCERNED ABOUT FIGHTING THE CLIMATE CRISIS? ARE WE CONCERNED ABOUT KEEPING THE CARBON IN THE FOREST? OR DO WE NOT CARE?

{THEDAVID} NOW THAT JOHAN AND HIS COLEAGUES HAVE TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS WE CAN CLEARLY SEE THE BOUNDARIES. WE CAN SEE THE PATH BACK TO A SAFE SPACE. TO A MORE RESILIENT FUTURE. IT IS ACHIEVABLE. OUR IMMEDIATE PRIORITY IS TO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS TO ZERO AND STABILIZE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE AS LOW AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION WE HAVE EMITTED 2,400 BILLION TONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE (14 GIGATONNES/YEAR ON AVERAGE). TO STAY BELOW 1.5C WE MUST EMIT LESS THAN 300 BILLION TONNES OF ADDITONAL CO2. IF WE CONTINUE TO EMIT 40 BILLION TONNES EACH YEAR OUR BUDGET WILL RUN OUT WITHIN 7 YEARS. {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: AT FAULT IS THE CLIMATE CHANGE MOVEMENT’S ILLOGICAL ASSUMPTION THAT THE UN COULD REPEAT THEIR MONTREAL PROTOCOL SUCCESS IN THE CLIMATE CHANGE ISSUE GIVEN THE IMMENSE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHANGING REFRIGERANTS AND OVERHAULING THE WORLD’S ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE}

{JASON} OF COURSE WE CANNOT SHUT DOWN ALL ENERGY UTILITIES IN THE WORLD OVERNIGHT. SO THE ONLY ORDERLY WAY TO DO THIS IS TO BEND THE CURVE OF GLOBAL EMISSIONS NOW. THAT’S WHAT ALL THE SCIENCE SHOWS. NOW IS THE LAST CHANCE WE HAVE TO BEND TO GLOBAL CURVE.

{THE DAVID} CUTTING OUR EMISSIONS IN HALF EVERY DECADE IS AN EXPONENTIAL RATE OF CHANGE.

{JASON} ANYONE CAN ADOPT THIS PACE. A COMPANY CAN DO IT OR A COUNTRY CAN DO IT OR THE WORLD CAN/MUST DO IT. THE FUTURE. THE FUTURE IS NOT DETERMINED. THE FUTURE IS IN OUR HANDS. WHAT HAPPENS OVER THE NEXT CENTURY WILL BE DETERMINED BY HOW WE PLAY OUR CARDS THIS DECADE. I WOULD SAY THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD ANY MORE. DESTABILIZING THE PLANET . . . THE RISK OF DESTABILIZING THE PLANET IS A QUESTION OF SECURITY AND STABILITY FOR ALL SOCIETIES OF THE WORLD. THEREFORE IT IS A QUESTION FOR THE SECURITY COUNCIL. {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: THESE PEOPLE ARE APPARENTLY UNAWARE THAT THE UN HAS FAILED TO DELIVER THE EXPECTED MONTREAL PROTOCOL FOR THE CLIMATE AND HAVE ACCEPTED ITS IMPOSSIBILITY AS DESCRIBED IN A RELATED POST: https://tambonthongchai.com/2021/06/05/the-paris-agreement/ }

{THE DAVID} IT’S A REMARKABLE TIME TO BE ALIVE BUT IT ALSO CARRIES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY TO ACT DECISIVELY. WE HAVE NO TIME TO LOSE. {JASON} WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE. THE WINDOW IS STILL OPEN FOR US TO HAVE A FUTURE FOR HUMANITY. THAT I THINK IS THE BEAUTY OF WHAT WE ARE TODAY. {BLOGGER’S COMMENT: THE “WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE” PHRASE HAS BEEN A STANDING FEATURE OF CLIMATE FEAROLOGY AND IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE FEAR OF PLANETARY DESTRUCTION THAT IS BEING SOLD BY THE SAME SPEAKER.}

PART-2: CRITICAL COMMENTARY ON THE SCIENCE OF OUR PLANET

(1): HISTORICAL CONTEXT

IN A RELATED POST ON THIS SITE: LINK: https://tambonthongchai.com/2020/03/23/anti-fossil-fuel-activism-disguised-as-climate-science/ WE DEVELOP THE HYPOTHESIS THAT THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT OF OUR TIME CAN BE UNDERSTOOD AS A RESURGENCE OF THE HIPPIE ANTI POLLUTION MOVEMENT AGAINST FOSSIL FUELS IN THE 1960S AND 1970S WHEN SIGNIFICANT ADVANCES WERE MADE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY NOT ONLY OF WIND AND SOLAR BUT ALSO GEOTHERMAL AND TIDAL AS SHOWN IN THE IMAGE ABOVE. THE MOVEMENT FAILED TO REPLACE FOSSIL FUELS WITH RENEWABLES BUT THE SPIRIT DID NOT DIE AND AFTER THE 1988 SENATE TESTIMONY OF JAMES HANSEN IT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE WITH A NEW RATIONALE AND A NEW CHARGE AGAINST FOSSIL FUELS. THE CHARGE WAS CHANGED FROM POLLUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING WITH CLAIMS THAT FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS OF THE INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY CAUSE ATMOSPHERIC CO2 TO RISE AND THAT SINCE GLOBAL MEAN SURFACE TEMPERARURE (GMST) IS DETERMINED BY THE AMOUNT OF CO2 IN THE ATMOSPHERE, AS ATMOSPHERIC CO2 RISES SO WILL GMST AND THAT THE SEQUENCE OF HIGHER AND HIGHER GMST CAUSED BY THE INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY IS UNDERSTOOD ASANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING (AGW) THAT COULD HAVE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES FOR HUMANITY AND NATURE ALIKE AS DESCRIBED IN THE HANSEN 1988 TESTIMONY TO CONGRESS WITH DETAILS IN A RELATED POST: https://tambonthongchai.com/2019/05/09/hansen88/ .

(2): THE NEW CASE AGAINST FOSSIL FUELS

WITH THE THEORY OF GLOBAL WARMING BY FOSSIL FUELS AND THE PRESENTATION OF WARMING AS HARMFUL AND DANGEROUS IN TERMS OF CHANGES TO THE WORLD’S CLIMATE AND THINGS LIKE SEA LEVEL RISE FROM MELTING ICE, IT WAS DEMANDED THAT THE WORLD MUST STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS TO AVOID THE PROJECTED HARM FROM AGW. THE SOLUTION DEMANDED BY CLIMATE SCIENTISTS LIKE HANSEN WAS THAT THE WORLD MUST STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS TO STOP THE RISING TEMPERATURES OF AGW BECAUSE THIS WARMING IS MAN MADE AND NOT NATURAL SUCH THAT ITS IMPACTS ARE UNKNOWN AND MUST BE ASSUMED TO BE A DEVASTATION THAT MUST BE AVOIDED. WITHOUT DIRECT EVIDENCE OF THE HARM OF AGW FORECAST BY CLIMATE SCIENCE, THE LOGIC USED IN THIS ARGUMENT IS THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE DESCRIBED IN A RELATED POST: https://tambonthongchai.com/2021/04/05/the-null-hypothesis-issue/ WHERE, AS DESCRIBED IN THE LINKED DOCUMENT, HYPOTHESIS TESTS OF STATISTICS ARE MADE IN A BACKWARDS FASHION WITH THE TRUTH OF THE HYPOTHESIS TO BE TESTED AS THE NULL HYPOTHESIS AND TAKEN FOR GRANTED UNLESS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE CAN BE PRESENTED TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS WHICH WAS AND IS THAT THE WORLD IS WARMING, THE WARMING IS CAUSED BY RISING ATMOSPHERIC CO2 CONCENTRATION, AND THE RISING ATMOSPHERIC CO2 CONCENTRATION IS CAUSED BY THE INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY OF THE HUMANS BURNING FOSSIL FUELS.

(3) THE NEW ANTI FOSSIL FUEL MOVEMENT

ON THE BASIS OF THE ISSUES RAISED IN ITEM (2), THE ANTI FOSSIL FUEL AND PRO RENEWABLE ENERGY MOVEMENT OF THE 1960S/1970S WAS RESURECTED WITH THE PROPOSAL THAT FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS CAUSE WARMING AND THE WARMING COULD HAVE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES FOR HUMANS AND FOR THE PLANET ITSELF. RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE WAS DEMANDED AS A COMPLETE CESSATION OF FOSSIL FUEL BURNING AND TO MOVE THE WORLD’S ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TO RENEWABLE ENERGY SUCH AS WIND AND SOLAR. TIDAL ENERGY HAD PLAYED A ROLE IN THE ORIGINAL MOVEMENT OF THE 1960S BUT WAS CURIOUSLY MISSING IN THE RESURRECTION OF THE MOVEMENT MORE THAN 20 YEARS LATER. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE NEW MOVEMENT IS PROVIDED IN A RELATED POST: https://tambonthongchai.com/2021/04/13/the-science-of-climate-science-is-fear/ .

(4): FEAR APPEAL

AS SEEN IN ITS HISTORY THIS NEW MOVEMENT AGAINST FOSSIL FUELS IS BASED ON A COMMON METHOD FOR BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION WELL KNOWN IN SOCIOLOGY AND MARKETING CALLED FEAR APPEAL. THE THEORY AND METHODOLOGY OF FEAR APPEAL AS A SOCIAL MANAGEMENT TOOL IS DESCRIBED IN A RELATED POST: https://tambonthongchai.com/2021/05/29/fear-appeal-bibiography/ . ESSENTIALLY, FEAR APPPEAL IS A METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE BEHAVIOR OF THE MASSES WITH FEAR OF THE ALTERNATIVES TO WHAT IS PROPOSED.

(5) A GLOBAL MOVEMENT AGAINST FOSSIL FUELS AND THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL

RELATED POST ON THE OZONE DEPLETION ISSUE: https://tambonthongchai.com/2018/08/07/history-of-the-ozone-depletion-scare/ . HERE WE PRESENT THE OZONE DEPLETION ISSUE AS A BACKDROP TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE ISSUE IN TERMS OF THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL THAT HAS BECOME A MODEL FOR GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTALISM. THE APPARENT SOLUTION TO THE OZONE DEPLETION ISSUE WITH A GLOBAL BAN ON CFC EMISSIONS ORCHESTRATED BY THE UNITED NATIONS IN A GLOBAL AGREEMENT SERVES AS THE MODEL FOR A GLOBALLY COORDINATED GLOBAL CLIMATE ACTION TO ELIMINATE THE COMBUSTION OF FOSSIL FUELS AND TO MOVE THE WORLD’S ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FROM FOSSIL FUELS TO RENEWABLES AS A WAY OF HALTING GLOBAL WARMING AND THUS “SAVING THE PLANET” FROM THE HORRORS OF UNCONTROLLED GLOBAL WARMING DESCRIBED BY THEDAVID AND HIS HELPERS IN THE VIDEO ABOVE.

(6) FAILURE OF THE UN TO REPEAT THEIR MONTREAL PROTOCOL SUCCESS IN THE CLIMATE CHANGE ISSUE.

RELATED POST ON THE FAILURE OF THE UN: https://tambonthongchai.com/2021/06/05/the-paris-agreement/

IN THE RELATED POST WE NOTE THAT THE EXPECTATION OF A MONTREAL PROTOCOL FOR CLIMATE CHANGE WAS UNRELISTIC AND IT HAS NOT BEEN ACHIEVED BY THE UNITED NATIONS. THEIR FAILURE IS DESCRIBED IN TERMS OF THE COLLAPSE OF COP15 IN COPENHAGEN AND A NONSENSICAL CLIMATE ACTION “AGREEMENT” SIGNED IN COP25 IN PARIS. THE THE COMPLETE SURRENDER OF THE UN IS FOUND IN THE NEW ROLE OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL AS CHEERLEADER FOR THE CLIMATE HEROISM FOR NATION STATES IN THE ABSENCE OF A GLOBAL AGREEMENT.

OUR INTERPRETATION OF THE CONTENT OF “THE SCIENCE OF OUR PLANET” VIDEO IN THE CONTEXT OF THE 6 ITEMS OF THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND PRESENTED ABOVE.

THIS COLLECTION OF THE UNINFORMED DRIVEL AND EMOTIONAL ARGUMENTS FOR CLIMATE ACTION APPARENTLY DIRECTED TO INDIVIDUALS WATCHING THE VIDEO IS A FORM OF COMPLETE SURRENDER OF THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT WHERE FEAR APPEAL STRATEGIES AND THE GLOBAL COP MEETINGS OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE FEAR OF CLIMATE CHANGE EXTENDED TO IMPOSSIBLE LIMITS SUCH AS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PLANET HAVE ALL FAILED.

WHAT WE SEE HERE IS A COMPLETE SURRENDER OF THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT AND A DRAMATIC SHIFT IN THE STRATEGY FROM COMMAND AND CONTROL TO A KIND OF BEGGING FOR CLIMATE ACTION.

THE CLIMATE GAME HAS FAILED
