   Below is a link to a long and highly educational piece by Richard Crim about how our climate works and why we are now seeing it become increasingly unbalanced.

   This article explains, in detail, how heat energy from the sun enters Earth’s climate system and where all that energy goes. The upshot, after various complicated processes do their thing, is that we are very likely to see all or nearly all of the permafrost in Canada, Alaska, and Siberia melt this century, releasing so much methane-based carbon into the atmosphere that our world will be unrecognizable afterward. Certainly no humans will be able to survive.

   It may already be too late to avoid a great deal of suffering. The outlook is grim. But the actions we take now still can make a difference. If nothing else, at least try to prepare your friends and family and those you care about for what we are facing in the next few decades. Good luck to all.
