Climate change IPCC report is ‘code red for humanity’, UN scientists say – BBC News

Published

on



Heating from humans has caused irreparable damage to the Earth that may get worse in coming decades, a UN climate report has concluded.

Humanity’s damaging impact on the climate is a “statement of fact”, UN scientists have found in unprecedented research combining more than 14,000 studies.

The past five years have been the hottest on record since 1850. Extremes including heatwaves have become more frequent and more intense since the 1950s, while cold events have become less frequent and less severe.

The authors also show that a rise in sea levels approaching 2m by the end of this century “cannot be ruled out”.

    This is where the BBC bull shits us again, the BBC head line reads "The world is losing it's Humanity- United Nations Chief" This is the tittle of Article covering current Gaza/Hamas war with Israel. When in fact these words were for the World Governments in regards to the Climate Change, not the Terrorist attacks of Hamas or Israel's defensive measures.
    The BBC has become such a humiliating sore spot of News Compared to what they were During World War 2 wich was a beacon to soldiers and civilians alike. Now it is an Embarrassment . This is how Islamic employees in the BBC manipulate articles before print.

    The beautiful thing about global climate warming change is that, whether you believe it's the fault of scientists or it is just the earths natural cycle, there is NOT A THING WE CAN DO TO REVERSE IT.
    We are human beings. We will adapt, overcome, and survive. It's what we've done for thousands of years.

    The very same men were claiming global cooling & an ice age was approaching in the 70s & 80s. Yes exactly the same men. Ice cores from thousands of years ago prove higher temperatures & more CO2, long before the industrial revolution. This warming & cooling are natural cycles of the Earth.

    Nonsense. There has been a 10% decline in natural disasters since 2000 (CRED). Normalised disaster losses have decreased since 1990 and human mortality due to extreme weather has decreased by more than 95% since 1920.

    We already past the tipping point. Climate change is not a linear process anymore it has gone exponential, feedback loops are accelerating the process as we speak. There is no such thing as a future.

    When you turn the CO² knob today, temps will not lower tomorrow, it will have an effect in 10 years or so. We won't be around by then. We are now in exponential unstoppable climate change, tomorrow accelerating a little faster than today.

    The IPCC is made up of government stooges and climate alarmists. They have been guilty of climate fraud in the past by fiddling data for their fake hockey stick graph that deleted the previous warming periods. They had to retract that fake graph.

    Keep it below 1.5C and lower it eventually?
    It takes the earth +/-400 years to lower CO2 concentration in ppm to 350 where it is best for humans. Don't say lower it that is insane and exactly the problem with climate scientists. Bad communicators.

    𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗨𝗽 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

    The United Nations recently celebrated the International Mother Earth Day as a reminder to protect the environment. Heat waves, droughts, fires and heavy rains that cause severe flooding have become more frequent in many parts of the world due to climate change, which affects the entire worldwide population.

    The Earth is facing a “triple planetary crisis,” warn UN officials. Climate disruption, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste are the main areas of concern regarding the current state of the environment. This year, the Earth Day’s theme is “Invest In Our Planet,” so what would humanity's best investment for the planet be?

    We need to start by cleaning up the planet. There is no place on Earth where the air and water are clean, and that's a real problem. In theory, tackling this issue should be our priority when it comes to taking action to improve the dismal state of our planet. But let’s not fool ourselves. Such a plan alone will solve nothing.

    It will only help the international organizations to justify their own existence. They tick off "done" to raise as much money as they want, and that's it. If we do not improve relations between us, we will not be able to achieve the great and ambitious improvement in nature that we want and need to attain globally. We will never achieve a good result through bureaucratic, mechanical measures.

    There are a lot of people sitting in their comfortable offices profiting from the environmental crisis and demanding money and respect. They keep flying from one end of the world to the other on all kinds of missions to make a lot of noise with what they are "doing" and which everyone "needs to hear" as if that alone means something is happening, but in practice we see no real progress. The Earth must also be cleansed of them, of these people who engage in useless campaigns that only cause harm because they mislead the world, leading it away from the real solution.

    The cleaning of the planet should start inside out. If we do not clean the planet from within, and continue with our reckless behavior and the selfish nature of our hearts as before, nothing will change for the better. The immense sums invested in environmental initiatives should be directed to spreading an educational process aimed at improving the way we relate to each other.

    Humans are the most developed and influential factors of all of nature's levels: still, vegetative, animate and human. Since we occupy the highest level in nature, positively affecting the environment, the climate, and nature in general can be achieved by reaching positive relations among us. On the contrary, by letting our divisive drives tear apart human relations, we also destroy our surrounding environment, the very nature that our lives depend on.

    The more we humans are able to correct ourselves by changing our divisive attitudes toward each other into positive attitudes of mutual support, encouragement, mutual responsibility, and reciprocal concern, the more we will receive positive feedback from nature. And the more we develop without making this necessary correction, the more negative feedback we will receive from nature, as we have experienced in the form of natural disasters, pandemics.

    It is of utmost importance for us to organize our thoughts, desires and qualities so that we understand that saving the environment and a shift to a better future depend solely on changing our attitudes to each other: from antagonistic egoism to positive, compassionate and cooperative relationships…

    Did you know that NASA is looking for other planets? Did you know it's so bad? They must be stopped!
    Mining operations have enough impact to affect the mass of the Moon in major ways Even if the Moon lost only 1 percent of its total mass, this would still greatly affect its orbit, or the gravitational force on Earth's oceans causing rising and falling tides and a lot of volcanic activity! Pollution would be a terrible problem if we mined the Moon the way we treat the Earth. The vacuum near the moon will be useful in all kinds of processing. If we throw gases at the Moon the way we do on Earth, we will destroy that perfection.
    Worldwide, mining contributes to erosion, sewage, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, significant use of water resources, clogged rivers and pond waters, sewage disposal issues, acid mine drainage, and contamination of soil, ground and surface water, all of which can lead to Health problems in the local chaos and destruction here on Earth as well as the universe, the galaxy and the universe!
    Seems exactly what was going on here on Earth, right?
    Let's meet some of these agencies!
    China National Space Administration (CNSA)
    European Space Agency (ESA)
    Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
    Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
    Russian Federal Space Agency (RFSA)
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
    This is a list of government agencies involved in activities related to outer space and space exploration.
    As of 2022, there are 77 different government space agencies, 16 of which have launch capabilities. Six government space agencies – China National Space Administration (CNSA), European Space Agency (ESA), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (US) (NASA) and NASA Russian state space "Roscosmos" – with full launch capabilities (the ability to launch and recover multiple satellites, develop and deploy cooled rocket engines and operate space probes) and extraterrestrial landing capabilities.
    The name given is the English version, with the original language version below. The given acronym is the most common abbreviation: This can be an acronym for the English version (such as JAXA), or an acronym for the native language. In case there are many abbreviations in common use, the English abbreviation is given first.
    The founding date of the space agency is the date of its first operations, where applicable. If the space agency is no longer operating, the date it was terminated (ie the last day of operations) will be stated. In particular, the Soviet space program was not listed because it was not organized as a unified agency. Why

Cyber Attack: Ransomware causing chaos globally – BBC News

Published

on



Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

Is this AI’s moment of truth? | BBC News

Published

on



A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.

Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.

At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.

So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?

AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.
