Geoengineering: We have been for centuries Powerpoint Presentation, June 2, 2026 This presentation covers the concepts of geoengineering and pollution treatment that our advanced culture has been practicing for centuries and millennia. It started when we terraformed Earth by cutting down more than a third of its trees before the Industrial Revolution. Geoengineering is evident…

Filming Logs 2026 – From Niagara Falls through New England and down to the Banks

By Beach Report, Beaches coastal, Drought, Earth systems, evolutionary boundaries, Extreme Weather, flood, Flooding, forest health, Forest Mortality, Impacts, ocean processes, Oceans, pine beetle, rainfall, Sea Level Rise, Shifting Ecology, Temperature, Vegetation Response

Filming Logs 2026 – From Niagara Falls through New England and down to the Banks Forest mortality in the Northeast is beginning to be obvious to normal citizens. This means it is well established and far beyond normal mortality of a single individual out of 100 every few years. The curious thing about mortality in…

Antarctic Tipping Warning, Mega Drying – Now greatest sea level rise contributor, Total Earth systems sequestration flips into decline

By Abrupt changes, Antarctic sea ice, climate emergency, Drought, Earth systems, Emissions flip, feedback, forest health, Forest Mortality, Gulf Stream, ice sheets, ocean processes, Permafrost melt, Point of No Return, rainfall, sea ice, Sea Level Rise, Tipping, West Antarctic Ice Sheet

Evidence continues to mount that Earth systems processes have passed tipping points or their tipping is foregone without rapid restoration of our climate to within the evolutionary boundary conditions of our former climate. No amount of warming beyond the maximum of our old climate is now safe and we must cool from today to restore…

Sudden Jump in Academic Findings Indicating the Crossing of Numerous New Earth System Tipping Points

By Abrupt changes, Antarctic sea ice, Climate Culture, climate emergency, Climate Reform, climate restoration, climate solutions, CO2 Removal and Sequestration, Earth systems, engineered solutions, Engineering, evolutionary boundaries, feedback, forest health, Forest Mortality, geoengineering, ice sheet, Impacts, Legacy Policy, modeling, ocean processes, Oceans, sea ice, Shifting Ecology, Solutions, Strategy, The Unexpected, Tipping, Vegetation Response

Findings since mid-May reveal new and more serious insight into tipping threshold crossing of the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets, Antarctic sea ice, ocean acidification, and tropical and boreal forests. The 30 percent warming jump in 2023 and 2024 is crucial to understanding the extreme risks of our current and rapidly accelerating climate trajectory. But…
