Almost all scientists agree that IN FACT climate change is a problem. Our planet is becoming unfit for human life. Now the question is can we adapt in time? (1999)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory).<\/strong> That means global warming is accelerating at a rapid rate in a complex way. From <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/index-2023.html\">1992 through 2023<\/a>, we presented evidence and suggested remedies to mitigate climate change. By 2023, the data was undeniable that human induced climate change is destroying our habitat at a rapidly increasing rate.<\/p>\n<p>By 2024, at least five <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Tipping-Points.html\">Tipping points<\/a><\/strong> had been crossed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mountain Glacier Loss<\/li>\n<li>Greenland Ice Sheet Collapse<\/li>\n<li>Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse<\/li>\n<li>Collapse of AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation)<\/li>\n<li>Northern Permafrost Collapse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Humans have caused these events to be inevitable; however, it is the &#8220;unknown&#8221; that frightens most people. Instead, now that you know you can prepare.<\/p>\n<p>What will the &#8220;End of Times&#8221; look like?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The era of global warming has ended and the era of &#8216;global boiling&#8217; has arrived. Climate change is here. <b>It is terrifying<\/b>. And it is just the beginning&#8221;, UN secretary general, Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, said after scientists confirmed July 2023 was on track to be the world&#8217;s hottest month on record.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1990&#8217;s, we wrote a paper on the worst-case scenario entitled, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/notes\/Tunnel-Under.html\">The Impact of Governance &amp; Globalization on Forecasting (The Tunnel Under Thesis)<\/a>.&#8221; The theory predicted that forecasting would become increasingly difficult. &#8220;The result &#8212; a figurative, as well as, literal tunneling underground.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since that time, forecasting has become increasing more difficult. &#8220;In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that weather conditions will become more volatile due to the impact of humans,&#8221; said Mukherjee and Brouse. (2004)<\/p>\n<p>In a report published in Nature entitled <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/notes\/climate-change-and-pathogens.pdf\">Over half of known human pathogenic diseases can be aggravated by climate change<\/a>, data analyst and associate professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Hawaii Manoa, Camilo Mora, said climate hazards aggravated 58% of all known human pathogens. That is over half of infectious diseases discovered since the end of the Roman Empire. 58% of an authoritative list of infectious diseases documented to have impacted humanity have already been shown to be aggravated by climatic hazards &#8212; a finding the researchers found &#8220;shocking,&#8221; Mora said.<\/p>\n<p>Movement of people and animals caused by climate is one factor. Warming at higher latitudes allowed vectors and pathogens to survive winter is another factor. The report goes on to say, &#8220;The human pathogenic diseases and transmission pathways aggravated by climatic hazards are too numerous for comprehensive societal adaptations, highlighting the urgent need to work at the source of the problem: reducing GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This research reveals more evidence that <strong>humans will have difficulty adapting to climate change<\/strong>, especially those in developing countries, Mora said. &#8220;The magnitude of the vulnerability when you think about one or two diseases &#8212; okay, sure, we can deal with that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But when you&#8217;re talking about 58% of the diseases, and 58% of those diseases can be affected or triggered in 1,000 different ways. So that, to me, was also revealing of <strong>the fact that we&#8217;re not going to be able to adapt to climate change<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, we wrote about having crossed <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Tipping-Points.html\">tipping points<\/a> in the paper, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/How-Long-Is-Ever.html\">Climate Change: How Long Is &#8216;Ever&#8217;?<\/a>&#8220;. When we wrote the Tunnel Under Thesis in 1995, we forecast crossing these tipping points would not happen for centuries. We underestimated Man&#8217;s ignorance and arrogance. Fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have continued to set record highs. Humans have caused chain-reactions resulting in toppled tipping points, <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/notes\/feedback-loops.html\">feedback loops<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Domino-Effect-Tipping-Points-Toppled.html\">The Domino Effect<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; from <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Climate-Change-End-of-Times.html\">Climate Change: The End of Times<\/a> \/ Brouse and Mukherjee (2023)<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Can I Do?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are plenty of things you can do to help save the planet. <strong>Stop using fossil fuels.
