Bill McGuire, a professor emeritus of geophysical & climate hazards at University College London and author of “Hothouse Earth: An Inhabitant’s Guide.” Talks about how the rate of climate change and how fast it is accelerating “scares the hell out of me” as he says. He also says “If the fracturing of our once stable climate doesn’t terrify you, then you don’t fully understand it.” And to me, THAT IS the scariest part, no one understands it and many DO NOT WANT to understand it either. Many do not get how fast everything is going to collapse and things will not be the same as they once were. Bill also points out how many politicians and corporations are either “unable or unwilling” to make the proper changes needed to address our coming climate collapse.

We’ve already passed many climate tipping points, once those are passed, they cannot be reversed. Like I usually say, that we’ve f*cked around, and now we’re in the find out stage.
