Nature's Wake up Final Call. the GBtZ solt'n to True World Peace, 6th Global Mass Extinct'n.._a Final (Intgratd) 2nd Series Paper. an Intro. [rev.2_01b, (c) 2012-'19]
Climate Change or Global Warming as actually felt on Earth: ‘artificially generated’ (anthropogenic) more than 63% of the total causality factors combined (90+% content anthropological includes CO2, etc.) by which human footprints do notably mark this Climate Change causality @ 96+% certainty an anthropocenic activity! Worst, CO2 levels SURGE! In 2016 at new highest “record breaking speed” according to WMO/UN; up by more than 400+ppm compared to 2015! Sadly makes it alarmingly high risk. What happens to almost 200 Governments of Nations’ Pledges & Commitments made in COP21 in Paris…???: NASA: Climate Change and Global Warming; The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) deals w/ Climate Change into “five grounds for high risk concerns’’: warning signals: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal: (IPCC); Infographic: Earth’s carbon cycle is off balance. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change urges each nation’s involvement & engagement & negotiations among delegates on climate change platform: United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Climate Change: “off balance” approaching critical tipping point) is deeply rooted…
1. The document proposes answering questions about evolution vs. faith/creation and God and science by examining evidence from both nature and scientific texts.
2. It argues that the strongest evidence for both micro and macro evolution can be found in scientific books, and the simplest proof of creation can be seen in the complex natural world that nurtures life on Earth.
3. It asks why the question is framed as whether there is a God, rather than why there is so much evil in the world, and proposes examining the issue from the perspectives of natural laws and their scientific principles.

At that time 1940’s only 3 who KNEW this Truth: GOD, & His Son: Lord of the 2nd Advent/LSA (or, the 2nd Coming Messsiah) of this Modern Completion Testament Age, and that Satan!. Let’s have these 2 Truths to extract the Answer
1. From the Quran, that gives us a Hope & Promise of a unified Peaceful Human Life on Earth by exercising active faith in GODod (ALLAH) to do true love & respect to every living creature on Earth for One Family of Humanity of ALLAH in harmony with Nature, in Unity w/ ALLAH’S Son of Salvation to True World Peace; and
2. From the Bible, that provides us all living Testimonies to Truth: GOD, is, He creates/ed all these for True Love, True Life & True Lineage w/ Absolute Plan: Blueprint. He created Adam1 & Eve1 ‘human beings’, the Operator Pair of Creaion: The Nature’s Mathematics, Science, Technology w/c breathe thru Kindness, Beauty & Truth: (The World As I See It) Values..
Question: When do we (all humanity) learn from lessons of history...? Therefore: Man must know & understand his/her '5% Human Responsibility' Role Indicators in GOD'S Dispensation Restoration Providence in Human History - to correct most deeply rooted cause of all these World's 36 Emerging Issues: The 4026 BCE Fall of Man:
Hence: "History repeats itself ..." Therefore: To know - Why, How come, Which one; Who & What is all about this in reference to GOD'S WiLL & Restoration Providence to correct man's failure in scientific misleading concept on 'evolution' vs creation; including false or, fake news/information based on Nature's 'Truth, Beauty & Goodness' Laws of Mathematical Creation - to finally establish this "Unity of Religion & Science ", "The True GUT & True TOE of Creation [GOD'S Creation] for ultimate GBtZ Solution to World's 36 Emerging Issues

The World As I See It …
"How I wish you have seen the creation the way The Old One has shown it to me …. though not am I deserving it, I am old sick; but the one who will be born after me in the 20th Century … will show & explain in a way the True Religion & Science Unification … defined …the correct formula of the Grand Unified [Field] Theory to explain all this unification of forces we can hardly imagine at present time … therefore, to construct as does the Old One want it to be… that peace for all mankind can be realized by collective efforts of humanity … only by understanding of the Mysterious … we have responsibility on Earth… the world we created is a product of our ways of thinking. It cannot be changed for good until we change our thinking. -

Final Warning of Gaia from the father of Gaia Hypothesis is unfolding in the form of sudden peaks in heat and fall leading huge forest fire and to flash floods. We are edging to disaster from the four forces of nature. It is time we become conscious and intelligent and understand the Truth of Nature at least now.
The document provides an overview of five key environmental issues:
1) Climate change poses the most potentially dangerous threat as greenhouse gas emissions have caused unprecedented global warming over the past 50 years according to the IPCC.
2) Loss of biodiversity endangers ecosystem functioning and human well-being as extinction rates are 100-1000 times higher than the natural background rates.
3) Peak oil may occur within the next decade as conventional oil reserves are dwindling while demand rises, posing challenges for energy security and economic growth.
4) Water scarcity affects over 1 billion people and is exacerbated by climate change, population growth, and inefficient use of water resources.
5) Genetically modified organisms raise health and
This document discusses the urgency of addressing ecological crises like climate change and species extinction. It argues that the problems are enormous, global in scale, and require an immediate, systemic response on the level of a "total world mobilization." While individual and small-scale advocacy helps raise awareness, the problems are too severe to be addressed through incremental change. The document calls for a new moral and economic framework centered around sustainability, equality and care for the planet. It suggests social systems can abruptly change for better or worse, and acting now to adopt technical solutions could avert some destructive impacts while creating a more just world.

1. The document discusses the deteriorating state of the planet Earth and the imminent threats facing humanity, including climate change, global warming, mass extinction, and other environmental crises.
2. It notes that various world organizations and over 1,000 scientists have confirmed these destructive trends through extensive research and surveys, finding that global catastrophe is approaching within the next few decades if no action is taken.
3. The root causes of these issues are identified as human ignorance and the disruption of Earth's natural systems over thousands of years, with evidence that a similar global crisis occurred in 2370 BCE, according to archaeological and fossil records.
This document discusses the complexity of the Earth system and sustainability challenges. It notes that the Earth is a complex system with living and non-living parts that interact across all scales. Models have been developed to understand and simulate this complex system, but they simplify and only capture certain components. The goals for the Earth system have also become more complex over time, ranging from harmony between humanity and nature to the current 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Managing this complex, evolving system presents significant challenges.
The document provides an overview of climate change and its causes according to scientific consensus. It explains that climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns caused by both natural factors and human activity. While the climate has changed naturally in the past due to factors like orbital shifts, the current warming trend is both faster and of a greater magnitude than past natural changes, making today's climate change unprecedented. The document attributes the current changes to a sharp rise in greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels, which have disrupted the natural carbon cycle and caused global temperatures to increase at a dangerous rate.

I Sistemi Complessi sono sistemi naturali di cui la scienza non è in grado di fornire una descrizione esaustiva. Esempi di Sistemi Complessi sono gli esseri viventi sia unicellulari che multicellulari, il cervello ed il sistema immunitario umano, gli ecosistemi, le società umane, l’economia globale, il clima e la geologia del nostro pianeta. Questo libro è un racconto di un meraviglioso viaggio interdisciplinare che l’autore ha compiuto per comprendere le proprietà dei Sistemi Complessi.
The document presents perspectives from both sides of the global warming debate. It provides quotes and opinions from scientists who believe human-caused global warming is a serious threat, as well as quotes from scientists who are skeptical of this view or believe natural factors are causing climate changes. The document does not take a clear stance and instead aims to show there are differing views among experts on the issue.

Assignment 1: Social Impact of Population Growth
The United Nations has hired you to be a consultant on global issues. One of the challenges is assessing the impact of population growth. There is no question that the world population will grow dramatically in the next decade throughout many countries of the world. The members of the UN are working to understand the impact that population growth has on society, specifically in developing countries. Your first project with the UN is to develop a whitepaper on three issues related to the population growth faced by one of these countries. Read the Case Study and provide an assessment based on the questions below.

About 3 billion years ago, the Earth suffered through a mass extinction caused by catastrophic volcanic activity in Siberia and wildfires that covered the entire planet. Since then, four more extinctions have eradicated up to 80% of all species each time. The world’s climatologists and scientists overwhelmingly agree that we are now on the verge of a sixth mass event that, over the next few tens of thousands of years, will wipe out nearly all living species on Earth — including mankind.
This is not the stuff of science fiction or speculation, but rather the studied view of the people who are most qualified to make this kind of assessment. As anthropologist Richard Leaky, author of

This brings us to two issues worthy of reflection:
Does the rate at which people are reproducing need to be controlled to save the environment?
To what extent does human population growth impact global warming... and what can be done about it?[3]
The answer to the first is quite simply “yes,” but the solution to the second is more problematic. The damage humans are doing to their climate is ruining the atmosphere surrounding their planet. At the rate this damage is increasing, at some point in the future there will be no atmosphere left to protect life on Earth from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. Compared to other planets in our solar system, Earth has mild temperatures, thanks largely to the protective gases of its atmosphere.
However, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (around 1775), those gases have become stuck in the atmosphere, causing heat radiating from the sun to reflect back to Earth (rather than exiting to space). The result is that oceans have become warmer and glaciers are melting, including parts of Antarctica. If we think of that continent as the stopper in a bottle, its melting away will release all the water it is holding back. This will raise sea levels to uncontrollable lev.

Presented to educators on 3 December. Thanks to Highland One World for the invitation - you guys rock. Summary of knowledge on what we need to do to stabilise it. Building trust from facts.
The document discusses various perspectives on global warming and potential solutions. It explores natural and human factors that influence climate change, uncertainties around causes, and approaches like using renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The conclusion calls for planning for climate impacts, lowering emissions, utilizing renewable energy as part of the solution, and cooperation across many levels.
Dr. Terry Cannon gave a guest lecture on climate change and its impacts. He summarized the scientific consensus that climate change is occurring due to human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, and that impacts are already being seen. Average global temperatures have risen 0.7°C and are projected to increase at least 2°C by 2050. Climate change will increase hazards like extreme weather events. Vulnerability to climate impacts depends on social and economic factors like poverty, gender, and access to resources. Disasters occur where hazards affect vulnerable people, so disasters are socially constructed. Adaptation and building resilience are needed to address climate change impacts.
This summary provides the key information from the document in 3 sentences:
The document summarizes the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, noting that it recognizes climate change as a problem, sets the objective of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent dangerous interference with the climate system, and directs that this be achieved within a timeframe that allows ecosystems and food production to adapt while allowing sustainable economic development.

Jason Thompson helped Dr. Oliver Hemmers communicate why climate models fail.
Biography
Dr. Oliver Hemmers received his Ph.D. in physics in 1993 from the Technical University in Berlin, Germany, with specialization in x-ray atomic and molecular spectroscopy. Recent research focuses on developments of biofuels and new materials for hydrogen fuel storage. He currently manages a multiyear, multimillion-dollar biodiesel project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Over the past 10 years, he has been a principal investigator or co-PI on several research projects at UNLV totaling more than $6 million. Hemmers has made approximately 200 presentations at national and international meetings, published approximately 90 research articles, written one book, and holds one patent. He is a member of the American Physical Society and a reviewer for the American Institute of Physics and the Institute of Physics.
Jason Thompson is an alternative energy photojournalist who wrote more than 300 articles in Diesel Power which around 2010 was the #1 selling automotive magazine at Walmart. He now studies the visual framing of climate control from 1824 to the present.
This document discusses the need for a rational, fact-based approach to environmental issues rather than one driven by ideology. It notes that some environmental organizations and discussions are more ideological than rational. While environmentalists have made important contributions, some of their stances are problematic, such as blanket opposition to technologies like genetic engineering, nuclear energy, and large-scale agriculture without considering their benefits or risks objectively. The document advocates assessing risks scientifically rather than assuming new technologies are inherently bad due to their scale or association with large companies. Overall it calls for a balanced, nuanced discussion of environmental challenges that weighs both risks and opportunities.
2010 Berlin GYG Climate Crisis; Time Solution--EnilishHuck Lin
The document discusses alternatives to price and market-based systems for addressing the climate crisis. It proposes basing systems on time and calendar cycles instead of growth and markets. Key points include reducing production and consumption to conserve time and biodiversity. Establishing an international wildlife corridor network and defining political boundaries based on watersheds instead of nations. Reforming currency so it decays over time instead of requiring endless growth. Taking a multi-scale approach from individuals to societies to lower emissions and shorten work hours.
Cornell Trieste CLEWS modelling October 2013Sarah Cornell
This document discusses the Earth system science perspective and the concept of planetary boundaries. It notes that earth system science research from the 1980s onward established that the Earth functions as a single system with interacting physical, chemical, biological and human components. The document also summarizes the key findings of the planetary boundaries framework, which proposes nine planetary boundaries related to human pressures like climate change, biodiversity loss and chemical pollution. It acknowledges that determining these boundaries involves assumptions and uncertainties due to the complexity of the Earth system and interactions between different scales.

Global Warming Delusions
By DANIEL B. BOTKIN
Global warming doesn't matter except to the extent that it will affect life -- ours and that of all living things on Earth. And contrary to the latest news, the evidence that global warming will have serious effects on life is thin. Most evidence suggests the contrary.
Kilimanjaro's shrinking ice cap is not directly related to global warming.
Case in point: This year's United Nations report on climate change and other documents say that 20%-30% of plant and animal species will be threatened with extinction in this century due to global warming -- a truly terrifying thought. Yet, during the past 2.5 million years, a period that scientists now know experienced climatic changes as rapid and as warm as modern climatological models suggest will happen to us, almost none of the millions of species on Earth went extinct. The exceptions were about 20 species of large mammals (the famous megafauna of the last ice age -- saber-tooth tigers, hairy mammoths and the like), which went extinct about 10,000 to 5,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, and many dominant trees and shrubs of northwestern Europe. But elsewhere, including North America, few plant species went extinct, and few mammals.
We're also warned that tropical diseases are going to spread, and that we can expect malaria and encephalitis epidemics. But scientific papers by Prof. Sarah Randolph of Oxford University show that temperature changes do not correlate well with changes in the distribution or frequency of these diseases; warming has not broadened their distribution and is highly unlikely to do so in the future, global warming or not.
The key point here is that living things respond to many factors in addition to temperature and rainfall. In most cases, however, climate-modeling-based forecasts look primarily at temperature alone, or temperature and precipitation only. You might ask, "Isn't this enough to forecast changes in the distribution of species?" Ask a mockingbird. The New York Times recently published an answer to a query about why mockingbirds were becoming common in Manhattan. The expert answer was: food -- an exotic plant species that mockingbirds like to eat had spread to New York City. It was this, not temperature or rainfall, the expert said, that caused the change in mockingbird geography.
You might think I must be one of those know-nothing naysayers who believes global warming is a liberal plot. On the contrary, I am a biologist and ecologist who has worked on global warming, and been concerned about its effects, since 1968. I've developed the computer model of forest growth that has been used widely to forecast possible effects of global warming on life -- I've used the model for that purpose myself, and to forecast likely effects on specific endangered species.
I'm not a naysayer. I'm a scientist who believes in the scientific method and in what facts tell us. I have worked for 40 years to try to improve our enviro ...

1. The document discusses the deteriorating state of the planet Earth and the imminent threats facing humanity, including climate change, global warming, mass extinction, and other environmental crises.
2. It notes that various world organizations and over 1,000 scientists have confirmed these destructive trends through extensive research and surveys, finding that global catastrophe is approaching within the next few decades if no action is taken.
3. The root causes of these issues are identified as human ignorance and the disruption of Earth's natural systems over thousands of years, with evidence that a similar global crisis occurred in 2370 BCE, according to archaeological and fossil records.
This document discusses the complexity of the Earth system and sustainability challenges. It notes that the Earth is a complex system with living and non-living parts that interact across all scales. Models have been developed to understand and simulate this complex system, but they simplify and only capture certain components. The goals for the Earth system have also become more complex over time, ranging from harmony between humanity and nature to the current 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Managing this complex, evolving system presents significant challenges.
The document provides an overview of climate change and its causes according to scientific consensus. It explains that climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns caused by both natural factors and human activity. While the climate has changed naturally in the past due to factors like orbital shifts, the current warming trend is both faster and of a greater magnitude than past natural changes, making today's climate change unprecedented. The document attributes the current changes to a sharp rise in greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels, which have disrupted the natural carbon cycle and caused global temperatures to increase at a dangerous rate.

The document presents perspectives from both sides of the global warming debate. It provides quotes and opinions from scientists who believe human-caused global warming is a serious threat, as well as quotes from scientists who are skeptical of this view or believe natural factors are causing climate changes. The document does not take a clear stance and instead aims to show there are differing views among experts on the issue.

About 3 billion years ago, the Earth suffered through a mass extinction caused by catastrophic volcanic activity in Siberia and wildfires that covered the entire planet. Since then, four more extinctions have eradicated up to 80% of all species each time. The world’s climatologists and scientists overwhelmingly agree that we are now on the verge of a sixth mass event that, over the next few tens of thousands of years, will wipe out nearly all living species on Earth — including mankind.
This is not the stuff of science fiction or speculation, but rather the studied view of the people who are most qualified to make this kind of assessment. As anthropologist Richard Leaky, author of

This brings us to two issues worthy of reflection:
Does the rate at which people are reproducing need to be controlled to save the environment?
To what extent does human population growth impact global warming... and what can be done about it?[3]
The answer to the first is quite simply “yes,” but the solution to the second is more problematic. The damage humans are doing to their climate is ruining the atmosphere surrounding their planet. At the rate this damage is increasing, at some point in the future there will be no atmosphere left to protect life on Earth from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. Compared to other planets in our solar system, Earth has mild temperatures, thanks largely to the protective gases of its atmosphere.
However, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (around 1775), those gases have become stuck in the atmosphere, causing heat radiating from the sun to reflect back to Earth (rather than exiting to space). The result is that oceans have become warmer and glaciers are melting, including parts of Antarctica.

Presented to educators on 3 December. Thanks to Highland One World for the invitation - you guys rock. Summary of knowledge on what we need to do to stabilise it. Building trust from facts.
The document discusses various perspectives on global warming and potential solutions. It explores natural and human factors that influence climate change, uncertainties around causes, and approaches like using renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The conclusion calls for planning for climate impacts, lowering emissions, utilizing renewable energy as part of the solution, and cooperation across many levels.
Dr. Terry Cannon gave a guest lecture on climate change and its impacts. He summarized the scientific consensus that climate change is occurring due to human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, and that impacts are already being seen. Average global temperatures have risen 0.7°C and are projected to increase at least 2°C by 2050. Climate change will increase hazards like extreme weather events. Vulnerability to climate impacts depends on social and economic factors like poverty, gender, and access to resources. Disasters occur where hazards affect vulnerable people, so disasters are socially constructed. Adaptation and building resilience are needed to address climate change impacts.
This summary provides the key information from the document in 3 sentences:
The document summarizes the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, noting that it recognizes climate change as a problem, sets the objective of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent dangerous interference with the climate system, and directs that this be achieved within a timeframe that allows ecosystems and food production to adapt while allowing sustainable economic development.

Jason Thompson helped Dr. Oliver Hemmers communicate why climate models fail.
Biography
Dr. Oliver Hemmers received his Ph.D. in physics in 1993 from the Technical University in Berlin, Germany, with specialization in x-ray atomic and molecular spectroscopy. Recent research focuses on developments of biofuels and new materials for hydrogen fuel storage. He currently manages a multiyear, multimillion-dollar biodiesel project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Over the past 10 years, he has been a principal investigator or co-PI on several research projects at UNLV totaling more than $6 million. Hemmers has made approximately 200 presentations at national and international meetings, published approximately 90 research articles, written one book, and holds one patent. He is a member of the American Physical Society and a reviewer for the American Institute of Physics and the Institute of Physics.
Jason Thompson is an alternative energy photojournalist who wrote more than 300 articles in Diesel Power which around 2010 was the #1 selling automotive magazine at Walmart. He now studies the visual framing of climate control from 1824 to the present.
This document discusses the need for a rational, fact-based approach to environmental issues rather than one driven by ideology. It notes that some environmental organizations and discussions are more ideological than rational. While environmentalists have made important contributions, some of their stances are problematic, such as blanket opposition to technologies like genetic engineering, nuclear energy, and large-scale agriculture without considering their benefits or risks objectively. The document advocates assessing risks scientifically rather than assuming new technologies are inherently bad due to their scale or association with large companies. Overall it calls for a balanced, nuanced discussion of environmental challenges that weighs both risks and opportunities.
2010 Berlin GYG Climate Crisis; Time Solution--EnilishHuck Lin
The document discusses alternatives to price and market-based systems for addressing the climate crisis. It proposes basing systems on time and calendar cycles instead of growth and markets. Key points include reducing production and consumption to conserve time and biodiversity. Establishing an international wildlife corridor network and defining political boundaries based on watersheds instead of nations. Reforming currency so it decays over time instead of requiring endless growth. Taking a multi-scale approach from individuals to societies to lower emissions and shorten work hours.
Cornell Trieste CLEWS modelling October 2013Sarah Cornell
This document discusses the Earth system science perspective and the concept of planetary boundaries. It notes that earth system science research from the 1980s onward established that the Earth functions as a single system with interacting physical, chemical, biological and human components. The document also summarizes the key findings of the planetary boundaries framework, which proposes nine planetary boundaries related to human pressures like climate change, biodiversity loss and chemical pollution. It acknowledges that determining these boundaries involves assumptions and uncertainties due to the complexity of the Earth system and interactions between different scales.

Global Warming Delusions
By DANIEL B. BOTKIN
Global warming doesn't matter except to the extent that it will affect life -- ours and that of all living things on Earth. And contrary to the latest news, the evidence that global warming will have serious effects on life is thin. Most evidence suggests the contrary.
Kilimanjaro's shrinking ice cap is not directly related to global warming.
Case in point: This year's United Nations report on climate change and other documents say that 20%-30% of plant and animal species will be threatened with extinction in this century due to global warming -- a truly terrifying thought. Yet, during the past 2.5 million years, a period that scientists now know experienced climatic changes as rapid and as warm as modern climatological models suggest will happen to us, almost none of the millions of species on Earth went extinct.

But elsewhere, including North America, few plant species went extinct, and few mammals.
