THE FACTS ABOUT THE LUMING CLIMATE CRISIS — Great Waves of Change.
Researched and compiled By Sybella L. Loram
Larger than an essay, smaller than a book — worth a read, I promise!
The new revelation delivered by the new messenger
The phrase “Great Waves of Change” refers to the converging crises affecting humanity in the near future. These crises include climate change, resource depletion, economic, social and political upheaval. The Great Waves constitute the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. The Great Waves of Change presents a prophecy of the difficult times ahead, and the steps you can take to navigate an increasingly turbulent and uncertain future for humanity.
Foreword
This small book of information transcends the typical warnings of an impending apocalypse driven by climate disaster. It delves deeper into humanity’s ongoing challenges — water shortages, famine, plagues, and diseases fueled by greed. Conflict and wars persist alongside the continuous extinction of countless indigenous species.
Yet, this is not a call to “save the earth,” for the planet itself does not require saving. The earth existed long before humanity and will continue to endure long after the human family has vanished.
In the Beginning, There was?
When God created our planet, he did not hold back. Every detail was thought of, every minute detail, from the hairs on the back of our hands to our phenomenal ecosystem. How our planet was created to be self-sufficient, providing all sentient beings with the means for shelter, food, along with all materials that make human life possible to survive and develop.
The food we eat, the water we drink, the planet's natural gifts such as fossil fuels, lime, amber, coal, magnesium, copper, zinc, salt, selenium — let us not forget, gold, silver, and diamonds. The creator is truly magnificent.
The natural world provides countless essential services that often go unnoticed. These include climate regulation — where rainforests serve as the lungs of our planet — natural flood defenses, air purification through vegetation, and the pollination of crops by insects. When we examine the intricate balance of these ecosystems — frequently overlooked and taken for granted — it becomes undeniably clear how profoundly human actions have disrupted and harmed these vital systems.
As we navigate the warnings of the forth-coming disaster, perhaps we should recognize these warnings as a wake-up call — an opportunity to think logically about the aspects of the natural world we are destroying. Reflecting on these actions, we must confront the profound effects this will have on our children’s future. It’s crucial that we no longer continue as idle, selfish, ambivalent fools.
Social upheaval, revolution, civil and world wars over resources. With more intense natural disasters, with economic instability, nations falling into debt leading to financial collapse. This is what the future generations will see. This is what humans have created — not could create — but have created. We have already passed the turning point for this.
Food availability is increasingly compromised, both in quality and quantity. Nutrients, once derived from mineral-rich soil, have been significantly depleted. Agriculture, as a biological system, is highly vulnerable to climate change, relying heavily on stable weather and consistent climate conditions. With heavier rainfall during our unpredictable winters, hotter summers, water scarcity has had a profound impact on productivity, further exacerbating the challenges faced by global food systems.
Earth’s topsoil is steadily being lost, because of the depletion of nutrients, poison from mass chemicals, excessive rainfall resulting in a significant runoff — particularly on sloping fields — contributes to this degradation. This process leads to desertification, turning once-fertile land into barren landscapes that can no longer support biodiversity, food crops, or even grazing animals.
As soil degradation worsens, we see lower crop yields leading to higher food prices. These are inevitable consequences, which are already affecting the global economy today. The United Nations warns that, at the current rate of degradation, the world could lose all its topsoil within 60 years — a crisis that poses a significant threat to the global economy and food security.
This loss of biodiversity further reduces the ability to sustain diverse plant life, triggering a cascade of declines across our planet’s ecosystems. It is a stark reminder of the urgent need to address soil preservation and protect the foundation of life on Earth.
The Effects Globally
In 2019, south-east and East Asia experienced the internal displacement of 9.6 million people from cyclones, floods, and typhoons. It is predicted Asia could suffer larger losses than most other regions in this world because of the climate-changes our planet is currently facing.
It is also worth noting that a significant portion of the EU’s food imports originate from Asia, with China, India, Ukraine, and Indonesia being a major exporter.
China’s large-scale damming of rivers highlights the growing challenges of water scarcity and uneven distribution. With extensive transboundary dam projects, concerns over water control with availability are escalating. Downstream countries face increased vulnerability to water shortages, flooding, with other issues manipulated by upstream nations. These disputes over shared water resources are already creating civil unrest, skirmishes soon to be outright war.
Rivers like the Mekong, Salween, and Brahmaputra — flowing through multiple countries — serve as striking examples of this issue. China’s actions raise concerns about hydro-hegemony, as water becomes a powerful tool for influence and control in regional dynamics.
To mitigate the risk of dam construction leading to conflict, international cooperation, transparent water-sharing agreements, and alternative solution are crucial. These measures can prevent disputes, ensure equitable water management.
Creating institutions like the Nile Basin Initiative can facilitate dialogue and cooperation among riparian states.
The Overpopulation problem, with ever more mouths to feed.
The human population is growing too large for society or the planet to sustain. Rising global populations are fueled by increased life expectancy thanks to advancements in child immunization and medical care.
This world population problem, with the ongoing overconsumption of the world’s resources, has resulted in the earth not having time to replenish. Eventually, the world population will exceed agricultural capacity, exasperating the existing famine over dwindling resources. Water being the largest of humanity's necessities to survive.
As humans continue to deplete the planet of its natural resources, we also destroy villages, while causing the displacement of indigenous tribes within their lands. Our darker past is a testament to humanity’s lack of empathy with the crimes committed against our brothers and sisters. These actions, rooted in exploitation with total disregard of the impact.
Climate change will affect every country in the world, its impact will be felt differently across all regions, some being hit much worse than others. These differences are created by a region’s level of poverty, resource availability, civil war and religious strife, which makes it difficult to measure the full impact of climate change. We can be sure that nations with less effective governments will be at the gravest risk and that levels of inequality across the world are, and will continue to be, the greatest factor.”
For those born into countries plagued by ongoing famine, polluted water, and natural droughts, the challenges of the planet’s state are nothing new. These poor souls are those that have had the least negative influence on the climate, yet some of the most to endure more hardship. A hardship that remains a constant reality, shaping their everyday lives and limiting opportunities for change. The poorest countries receiving the earliest fallout.
828 million people go to bed hungry every night. The number of those facing acute food insecurity has soared from 135 million to 345 million since 2019.
Food wastage from super store in one week
Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, said,
“There is enough food in our world for everyone, but we must work together, urgently, to make this zero-hunger world a reality.” The issue is about distribution. “In our world of plenty, I will never accept the death from hunger of a single child, woman or man. When war is waged, people go hungry.”
Governments are letting humanity down — we need to take responsibility and speak the truth.
Without our world leaders and national governments collectively taking immediate aggressive and coordinated global action, it is invariably going to create an extraordinary amount of global suffering. Climate disruptions on a collision course for global destruction on a scale never seen before are imminent. Great Waves of Change are coming. (www.newmessage.org)
Being responsible for this planet means we must act; denial, inaction, and expecting others to solve the problem are unacceptable. We must all act now, being honest with ourselves and with each other.
If I had a pound for every time I heard people claim that the state of the climate is purely natural — not caused by humans — I’d be rich. Some insist that while climate change is a global issue, it’s part of a natural cycle and will resolve itself.
What really baffles me is how easily people follow unverified opinions, bad ideas, reckless actions, and baseless gossip. Time and time again, history shows that major conflicts have been driven by blind loyalty to dangerous leaders, with little thought given to the bigger picture.
There’s a wealth of information available online, and it’s crucial to seek out reliable sources rather than blindly accepting what others say. Thoughtful communication, education, and engagement are key to spreading awareness and addressing misinformation. This includes what I am writing her now. Research what I write here. Find out for yourselves.
Using platforms like blogs, social media, and public discussions is a great way to encourage informed conversations. The accessibility of free media makes it easier than ever to share knowledge and challenge misconceptions. Bringing people together through meaningful dialogue can lead to real change. How do you envision making an impact in this space?
It is imperative that the common person speak up to be heard. Local election, democratic rights and voting, means nothing anymore. Public opinion may not matter to the governments, but it is slowly growing and finally being heard by some blue chip companies around our world.
Blue chip companies such as British Gas, Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron are the among the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases. So Speak up! CEO’s of the largest organizations in the world are not entirely onboard. Even those that are on board are positioned to succeed, do not know for sure how the world will unfold.
ExxonMobil Blue Chip Example
Between 1977- 2003 some of the world’s top scientists were hired by the oil company, ExxonMobil. These same scientists predicted our current predicament of the global warming we now face. Were these scientists correct with this alarming accuracy? Probably yes! But Exxon spent the next two decades denying that climate science even existed.
In 2012, Rex Tillerson, ExxonMobil’s CEO, claimed that “Climate change is real, and that humanity would have to adapt to it”. In 2017 this man was later hand-picked by President Trump to be his “Secretary of State”, a position which involved Tillerson acting as a diplomat to represent the USA on occasions such as the Paris Agreement and other world climate change issues.
The Guardian newspaper wrote how this was the very man who had orchestrated the campaign to protect ExxonMobil concealing the full impact of the danger that lay ahead for humanity.
Locals denied their human rights
Exxon Mobil’s operation in the USA and Indonesia has involved drilling, fracking and refining operations. The effects of these have caused a series of negative impacts on the local villagers in Indonesia and their environment as well as globally. Local villagers made legal claims against ExxonMobil for not respecting their human rights, torture, sexual abuse of pregnant women and spouses being shot dead. The case recently closed in 2021 after two decades of court battles.
Embedding carbon impact details directly into everyday essentials like food labels would certainly grab people's attention. People may not always seek out climate-related information, but if it’s placed in front of them in ways they can’t avoid, it might spark curiosity and reflection.
Bringing environmental awareness into daily life in unavoidable ways could shift public understanding. Whether it’s labeling food, integrating carbon footprints into consumer products, or making sustainability metrics more transparent, these small steps could lead to big changes over time.
We cannot rely on the world governments, the voting is fixed, promises constantly broken. Capitalism rules. Examples been, Elon Musk, Trump, Vladimir Putin are not interested in the world or humanity.
The power to stop this barbaric mistake in our planet’s history is in the hands of our world’s governments, and their power is in the hands of us, the public, the people of this planet, the people that put them there and actually have more power if they unite and speak up. Wake up and continue the fight for this planet and a better future as a collaborative and unified family. It is then that we may stand a chance of staying free as humanity’s existence emerges through the Great Waves of change.
Tens of thousands of people/campaigners from all walks of life united at a fantastic event, “The Big One”, where many activists and organizations came together to fight the climate emergency. Connect/summer 2023 Greenpeace. It just proves what the younger generations are thinking and feeling, what can be accomplished when an unignorable mass movement of humans/people can achieve when they unite. The crucial point here is how together we still can change the course of our planet’s future and the future for those that currently reside on, if we would only unite.
It is the absence of our politicians’ acknowledgement and the corporate greed of industries that continues to destroy our nature and our planet.
Addressing loss and damage from climate change is not a luxury but a necessity. Defending the principle of multilateralism in climate negotiation is crucial for ensuring that all nations, however small, have a voice in addressing climate change.
IPCC states that climate change is “unequivocally” caused by humans and that temperatures may rise more than 1.5c above pre-industrial levels by 2050, if not sooner, this is even with best-case scenario of deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
Determining how to aid vulnerable nations facing future loss and damage is crucial. We must support one another by taking the steps to produce, manage, and make available the much-needed resources to meet each other’s needs.
War and hunger verses human made Climate Disaster
There are 49 million people in 43 countries that are teetering on the edge of famine, yet we lose one third of food produced for human consumption globally. This amounts to about 1.3 billion tons per year. All the food produced but not eaten would feed two billion people. That’s more than twice the number of undernourished people across the world. The WFP (World Food Programme) has stated; “If wasted food were a country, it would be the third largest producer of carbon dioxide in the world”, (decomposing food produces carbon dioxide).
60% of the world’s undernourished people live in areas affected by conflict. In 2021 most of the 140 million people suffering acute hunger live in just ten countries: Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
Conflict is the key driver of hunger in most of the world’s food crises, from Sudan to Syria, from Yemen to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, pushing food and nutrition insecurity to historic levels. A sharp escalation of conflict in Palestine has seen hunger levels soar there as well.
Existing Wars today — 2025
Ukraine homes destroyed through consistent bombing.
Ukraine provides food for 400 million people by exporting over 50% of its grain, so when Russia invaded Ukraine in July 2022, the market volatility occurred. The United Nations continue trying to get ports working so that the 36 dependent countries can import grain again. Failure to open the ports in the Odessa region is a declaration of war on global food security, which has caused famine, political destabilization, and mass migration. To those not directly involved in any part of the conflict, it is scandalous. Pakistanis, for example, are at substantial risk significant of going hungry because their country relies heavily on wheat and fertilizer from Ukraine.
United Nations find a way it to help displaced and starving families. Sudan (2025)
For Sudan, the ongoing fighting has continued, killing 13,900 people and displacing 8.1 million. Most are internally displaced, and over a million refugees have fled to neighboring countries. Sudan was already facing hunger because of poverty through climate disasters, but the conflict has plunged millions more into hunger. Because of rising food costs and disrupted infrastructure from the conflict, over 20 million people are now facing food insecurity.
Internal wars over the control of food and water, in Hati 2025)
Haiti has a long history of internal conflict. Compounded by recurring earthquakes and hurricanes, conflict has made Haiti the worst hunger crises in the world. In 2022, conflict gripped the country once again when local gangs began fighting each other for food and water control. The violence has escalated over the past year with civilians caught in the crossfire.
Mother and children seek home and food through displacement in Sahel in Africa. (2025)
The Sahel is a region in central Africa that includes Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. Between 2020 and 2023, there were coups in all three countries. Since then, conflict has escalated between armed rebel groups and local militias. Over 4 million people have been displaced from the recent rise in violence.
This region is also vulnerable to extreme weather events like floods and droughts. Climate extremes and instability have created a hunger crisis in the region. The U.N. World Food Programme is delivering emergency food aid to people in the Sahel along with projects that help farmers restore land that was destroyed by extreme weather.
As social conditions change drastically, we can expect the dynamics of leadership, along with the political foundations across the world, to change with it. As the continents around the world become uninhabitable, there will be mass displacement, civil unrest and war, fighting for the control over resources, especially water.
In the future food will be far more difficult to grow, to distribute internationally will become a challenge. It will become imperative that we grow our own food where we can. Land will become scarce as it is built upon to house the ever-growing population of our planet or taken by the ocean as the ice melts, pushing the sea levels up.
Raping Mother Earth
Deforestation continues accelerating around our planet, driven by mining, agriculture, and livestock production. According to the World Resources Institute, millions of acres of rainforests have been cleared to make way for palm oil and soya farms, as well as cattle ranches for beef production. This destruction contributes to the release of billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat from the sun and causing global temperatures to rise.
Capitalism
With fewer trees there is less rain, higher temperatures, and the likelihood of drought in Brazil. This is not good for an agricultural economy, growing crops and exporting surplus crops. Brazil has been subject to severe drought since 2021 as the Panama River Basin has suffered a severe decrease in water, causing 40 million people across Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay to go without food, freshwater supplies, and the negative effect of no hydropower generation, which means they also have no or limited electricity supply.
Since 1978 about one million square kilometres of Amazon rainforest have been destroyed across Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, and French Guiana.
Top scientists around the world do not want to rock the political boat because of the money that is being made. Capitalism breeds extinction. It is a collective activism problem where the people making money do not want to reform.
Then there is the battle against illegal gold mining in the Amazon. This is connected to a long list of ongoing problems. Excavators tear down trees’ devastating nature as it destroys habitats and fuels soil erosion. Mining then contaminates the landscape, as toxic mercury is used to find gold in the soil. This leads to lethal health problems for the Indigenous people as the mercury leaks into their water supplies, which then gets into fish and crops. Companies such as Hyundai have broken its links with illegal mining because of Greenpeace’s consistent battle to protect our planet and the innocent life that is exposed to human greed. Through their continued battle against illegal gold mining, Greenpeace intends to make sure other companies do the same, and stop profiting from the crime of illegal gold mining in the Amazon Rain Forest.
Without Greenpeace holding corporations and governments to account, many of the environmental protections secured over the last five decades would not exist. (Connect Summer 2023
Oceans
The oceans are polluted with our plastic, and micro plastic is being found in our fish and sea birds. Micro plastic has also been found in humans. Sewage and other general discarded waste also in our seas and oceans are finding its way into our drinking water.
As the Earth’s climate warms unnaturally fast, it affects the melting sea ice and glaciers. This dilutes the North Atlantic saltiness affecting the density of the sea’s water that drives the Gulf Stream. If the waters are not heavy enough to sink it, then the entire Gulf Stream could slow down or eventually shut down altogether.
The ocean is a significant influence on our planet’s weather and climate. With the ocean covering 70% of our global surface, it continuously exchanges heat, moisture and carbon with the atmosphere, driving our weather patterns and influencing our current climate problem exacerbating the human made negative impacts on our natural habitat.
Scientists say because of the extra C02 that has been pumped into the atmosphere, the ocean acidification has increased 30% compared to pre-industrial levels.
Over 90% of this excess heat is absorbed by the oceans, contributing to significant warming. Estimates suggest that since the Industrial Revolution, more than 250 years ago, global temperatures have increased by as much as 1.5°C, with profound implications for ecosystems and the planet’s future.
The fracking, ocean bed trawling and continuous over fishing ruins our oceans biodiversity. Scientists and policy experts have proved beyond doubt that bottom trawling is causing a permanent biodiversity loss in some of the most scientifically important ecosystems on Earth, yet our governments refuse to put a stop to it.
Most of now know that to mitigate the effects of climate change, it is necessary to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, shift to renewable energy sources, and implement measures to adapt to the effects that are already being felt. This can include transitioning to low carbon transportation, promoting energy efficiency, and protecting and restoring natural carbon sinks such as forests, permafrost and phytoplankton.
Phytoplankton plays the important role of performing photosynthesis on water. It converts the sun’s rays into energy that then takes in carbon dioxide to produce oxygen. So, you see the importance of these natural given sink tanks that are destroyed.
Gigantic machines, weighing more than a blue whale, are lowered down to the ocean bed, desecrating the incredible marine wildlife and hydrothermal vents that support entire ecosystems. These include deep sea reefs that form the foundation of ocean food chains. This deep-sea mining would destroy these ecosystems forever, creating more damage than we are currently aware of because scientists believe that 90% of deep-sea species are still undiscovered.
The impact of large-scale fracking is enormous. It creates air, water and noise pollution. Thousands of wells would be needed to produce just half of its gas demands. This would also require huge numbers of trucks delivering the required chemicals and taking away contaminated wastewater.
Fracking requires water, sand and chemicals to extract the gas and in the process uses more energy than the gas it produces provides. Also, the produced gas, which is a greenhouse gas, is liable to leak into the atmosphere more easily than conventional gas. There is also risk involved in producing it. Depending on the well size, 10,000 to 30,000 cubic metres of water are used in the U.K. which is enough to fill twelve Olympic swimming pools. The average fracking job in America uses approximately four million U.S. gallons of water per well. This is precious water that humanity will go to war over in the near future.
Mining the Sea beds
Despite all that is known now in the year 2023, the UK government is supporting deep sea mining. Greenpeace are spending monumental amounts of time and donated money trying to force the hand of the UK government to recognize the imminent and long-term threat to our oceans and everything that depends on them. Climate, biodiversity and coastal communities are under threat and many leading companies and expert scientists have concurred with this. As a result, Greenpeace is taking a stand for a precautionary pause now, to pave the way for an outright ban.
Despite the UK positioning itself as a leader in ocean protection during the Global Ocean Treaty negotiations, the UK government, to date, has refused to call for a pause or ban on deep sea mining. Their argument is that it wishes to procure and sell the mined minerals to battery manufacturers to advance the green transition.
Organisations like Greenpeace have won victories by working together, demanding large companies take responsibility for their crimes. Such crimes as England fracking and Shell drilling in the Artic. It was through the bravery of wonderful and brave volunteers scaling rigs, stopping ships, protesting with mass petitioning that stopped Shell from drilling in the Artic. It was the mounting and continuous pressure from local communities plus campaigns that placed a halt to fracking in England.
The Weather
There can be no more denying or hiding from the fact that global warming is supercharging extreme weather at an astonishing speed, which is affecting millions of lives throughout the planet. With evidence–based analysis from NASA since the 1970s, the influence of human activity on the warming of the climate system has developed from theory to established fact.
Earth’s climate has changed throughout history, but the current warming rate has not been witnessed in over 10,000 years. Scientific information taken from natural sources such as ice cores, rocks, tree rings, permafrost and ocean samples shows this can no longer be denied. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) state that, “with unequivocal evidence, human activity causes the current accelerated climate change”.
A paper called “The Future of the Human Niche 2022” written by a leading world-class scientist wrote that because of one degree Celsius, one thousand million people will live in areas that are uninhabitable in approximately 15 years’ time and social collapse is inevitable without climate mitigation or human migration. The temperature experienced by most humans in the coming decade is projected to change more than it has over the past six millennia. This temperature comparison is between then and pre-industrial times (taken as 300y BP or 1650 C.E.) There is a slight discrepancy because of land warming much faster than oceans and human population growth being projected to be in predominantly hotter places.
Afterword
Like it or not, global warming is the slow increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. This is caused by an increased amount of heat striking the Earth from the sun, then becoming trapped in the atmosphere and not radiated back out into space. The Earth’s atmosphere has always acted as a greenhouse, capturing the sun’s heat, ensuring temperature remains at a certain level to allow the emergence of life forms as we now know. Think of global warming as the equivalent of a greenhouse with its reflective glass installed the wrong way round.
Try as one might, it is extremely difficult to escape the carbon footprint. Your toothbrush, the clothes and shoes you send your kids to school in, the vacuum, the hairbrush and cooking utensils you use are all manufactured in a large carbon driven factory. 54 percent of the world’s energy production goes into production. It is vital that the manufacturing companies address their decarbonization options urgently.
In places, humanity will eventually return to a far simpler life, a more authentic life, a life where we have a more solid connection with land and nature, back to growing our own produce and harvesting our own food. There will be simpler social interaction and a return to a way of life that limits its consumption and its population. How we use our water resources will change. Travel will change. No more jet setting around the world on a whim, no more owning three or four cars per household. As the world's resources become depleted, the return of horses, like the great English Shire, will once again be a reliable source to farm. Once again, humanity will become one with the land as they work it with their hands, perhaps ploughing, tilling and planting. Humanity is still blind and still reckless as it continues to hide its heads in their mobile phones. Was it not Gandhi who said, “non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as it is to co-operate with good”
Many parts of our world are already facing water restrictions, with a knock-on effect of reduced food production. We are witnessing the battle lines being drawn as various powerful nations are preparing for positions of control. China’s threat to invade Taiwan as soon as 2027 is probable. Russia has invaded Ukraine, while many various countries are building dams of colossal size to take control of the water affecting countries' dependency further down the river's flow.
An example being the Mekong, which originates in the Tibetan Plateau and flows through Western China before reaching Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar. The impact of China changing the natural flow of this magnificent river upstream significantly affects those countries whose survival also depends on this water downstream.
With people being thrown into harsh and horrific circumstances, there will be tragedy, starvation, conflict, war, displacement, independent leaders and cults rising from the shadows. Many religious fanatics will believe it is judgment day, the second coming. God's wrath is at hand. This is simply not true. Humanity’s downfall will be caused by humanity, not God.
People will be pushed to limits they have never encountered before. People will find their faith in each other challenged. Those around us will see their family, friends and neighbours show their true colours. As the world takes on this chaotic, unpredictable, and in many places, dangerous environment, people will be challenged to find food, water and a place to stay or live. We will all become vulnerable.
Shelter of any kind will be harder and harder to find for many citizens in many cultures. Displacement will be on a scale not seen in our world before, and it won’t go back to how it was. These changes will be permanent. With countless irresolvable problems on a continuous and increasing scale, it will test humanity in ways that we cannot imagine.
Everything we know will fall apart as our institutions, governments fall apart. They will be overwhelmed, as charities, religious organisations are pushed to breaking point. There simply will not be enough provisions to go round. Food, medicines, water, fuel for the vehicles, irrigation water for home-grown vegetables, let alone the international food market.
Supermarkets will shut down as the shelves become empty. Refrigerators and freezers switched off from lack of electricity and water. There will be looting, attacks, fires, gangs, and worse. This is the reality of humanity’s future.
It will be far easier for humanity to go to war over the scarcity of resources than it will to establish a union. Should it really be so difficult for the human family to stand firm, united and strong in the face of that which we set in motion? Are we really so immature and power struck playing toy soldiers, invading each other’s countries, rather than establish an agreement that is beneficial for the world?
Hard times have often led to incredible achievements and the rise of remarkable individuals. Some may see these moments as part of a greater religious prophecy, but true purpose lies in unity. No matter your faith, what truly matters is working together — across social classes, nations, and beliefs — to build a better world. Should we fail to unite, we fail not just ourselves, but the ideals of compassion and progress. Change comes from those who strive for human cooperation and adaptation, not division. We must establish a universal corroboration without any religious contempt.
All must serve wherever they can in whatever capacity they can, great or small, regardless of your religious belief. People must stop being preoccupied with their own needs, their own desires, their own greed. Want, want, more, more, how much land or money or power does a person need while there are so many others are needing just the basic things of life?
As humanity enters these grave times, unprepared and preoccupied with their cell phones and all they can do on them, they are not concerned with what’s happening to the world. The increasing number of wildfires from the unforgiving heat created by the climate change we have unleashed need to be fought while preventing more from happening.
The latest estimate shows that the artic ice is melting so fast that by 2039 there is the likelihood that there will be no ice coverage at all during the artic summer. For some nations, this is exciting and good news because mineral extraction and transportation through what would normally be blocked with ice is made easy. The negative side is mass flooding, displacement of millions of people, many of which are in poor countries like Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
Permafrost
Other recent studies show that permafrost carbon release has been poorly understood. 1,035 billion tons of organic carbon is stored in the upper three metres of the Artic permafrost soils, which is enough to overwhelm our ability to keep global temperatures below 2 Celsius.
Permafrost covers 24 percent of the exposed land mass of the Northern Hemisphere, which is about 9 million square miles. It is found in high latitudes and altitude’s mainly in Siberia, Russia, the Tibetan Plateau, Alaska, Northern Canada, Greenland and part of Scandinavia. They are also continental shelves below the artic ocean which were exposed during the last ice age that contains permafrost.
The Northern Hemisphere’s landmass findings in 2018 showed that if 30–99% of the artic permafrost thawed by 2100, a portion of the mercury will become mobile in our atmosphere. This would be a global catastrophe for the planet’s eco-system and human health.
Thawing of the permafrost also causes the release of methane gas, which has been stored for millions of years. When it resurfaces and goes into the atmosphere, it absorbs heat energy and then radiates it back to the Earth’s surface. Methane is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide by volume. So, the rising concentrations of methane in the Earth’s atmosphere is also and dramatically, causing the Earth’s surface temperature to increase.
Scientists have also found a link with increased amounts of methane, causing increased rain and flooding in some areas of the world. This rain is forming tropical wetlands which breed microbes that also liberate methane into the atmosphere. A methane feedback loop has been created.
Science has proved beyond doubt that this is not a natural occurrence, and that the melting permafrost is not in equilibrium with the present climate. Some site measurements have shown that climate warming since the last third of the 19th century has caused depths to more than 100 metres (328ft) of permafrost to be unnaturally warm.
This soil known as permafrost has remained frozen for years and lies beneath nine million square miles of the Earth’s surface, a quarter of the landmass of the Northern Hemisphere, with Russia having the world’s largest share. The melting of the ice from the West and East Antarctic ice sheets also glaciers, would result in massive life-threatening sea levels rising. This level of rising would create disaster for over 680 million people who live near low-lying coastal areas around the world.
This planet’s natural artic ecosystem makes the ground watertight and maintains vast networks of wetlands and lakes across the artic tundra that also provides habitat for animals and plants. It currently stores around 1.5 trillion metric tons of organic carbon created by the remains of ancient life encased in its frozen soils for a hundred thousand years. This is twice as much as the Earth’s atmosphere currently holds.
Melting permafrost can release long-dormant bacteria, some of which could pose serious risks. In 2016, an anthrax outbreak in Siberia was linked to thawing permafrost that exposed a reindeer carcass carrying the bacteria. This led to infections and even a fatality. Scientists warn that some ancient microbes could survive and re-emerge, potentially affecting populations with no natural immunity.
During a 1918 research to discover the elusive Spanish flue, John Hutlin discovered, buried in the subarctic permafrost, a corpse containing remnants of the elusive 1918 virus. The tissue Hultin retrieved from that corpse is now helping federal researchers unlock the microscopic secrets behind the pandemic, that during World War I this pandemic virus,wiped out millions worldwide, then vanished. Today’s scientists have been baffled by this.
Scientists also expect to find the bubonic plague and smallpox trapped beneath the surface of the Siberian ice along with other pandemics, plagues and infectious bacteria known only to the relics of time. But there is certainly no doubt that the warming of our climate is melting the ice sheets, permafrost, and soil above it, unleashing more threats than humanity is prepared for.
Many theorists before me have claimed climate change is part of a natural process, a transition that it is an inevitable part of our planet’s evolution. However, this is simply not true. There is more to be concerned about with the melting of permafrost.
Another major contributor to this catastrophe is the melting of the ice-shelves, causing the rapid rising of our planet’s sea levels. Since 2018, studies have shown that the melt rate acceleration of the Antarctic ice sheet has tripled.
With 13,000 square miles already lost from Antartica’s ice shelf, we are running out of time. According to Ruth Mottram (phys.org/news.2023) a climate scientist at the Danish Meteorological Institute, the most recent figures are pretty disastrous, showing more and more of Greenland’s ice being lost. Studies have proved beyond doubt that the enhanced speed–up of the ice sheet’s melting is clearly caused by humans, which is causing climate change. There is nothing natural about this.
The effects of Antarctica, Greenland and any of the mountain glaciers melting around the world would cause the ocean to cover the majority of coastal cities, shrinking the planet’s land significantly.
