+2C by 2030s?! Earth warming faster than predicted- Climate Chat Feb 15 live stream analyzes James Hansen team Feb 6 paper, Read & watch at DIYH Heating Planet blog

"Global warming is accelerating faster than what mainstream climate science had thought just a couple of years ago ... expect a lot more warming faster than what we've been told ... 2° by 2100 target from Paris Accord, we're going to actually hit that in the 2030s" READ & WATCH: Climate Chat Feb 15 live stream w first 10-mins transcribed-TRANSCRIPT of first 10 mins: And welcome to climate chat. I am your host Dan Miller and I'm here with my co-host Leon Simons. Welcome Leon hi hi Dan. So today we're going to be talking about a recent communication from climate scientist- world renowned climate scientist James Hansen; and Jim came up with this recent communication called another El Nino already what can we learn from it.

************

Published the 6th of February 2026. Link to Hansen article: https://mailchi.mp/caa/another-el-nino-already-what-can-we-learn-from-it?e=a29768a646 

**********************

and that's important- that it's expected not confirmed but an expected upcoming El Nino condition will provide kind of an experiment to see whether Jim's temperature predictions are correct I should note by the way for those who don't know Jim Hansen and many other climate scientists on a paper now a few years ago called global warming in the pipeline where they kind of laid out the basics for what we're talking about today and what are we talking about 

Today we're talking about the fact that it appears that global warming is accelerating faster than what mainstream climate science had thought just a couple of years ago like and when we say mainstream climate science that's like the intergovernmental panel on climate change the ipcc for example; which is a group of thousands of climate scientists that review climate research and public reports every few years.

2.20

So if what Jim is saying is correct- and it appears that he is- then we should expect a lot more global warming faster than what we've been told and in particular something that will focus on today a little bit is that there's this 2° target that the Paris Accord said we should stay well below 2 degrees Celsius of global warming; and still predictions were that around the 2050s that we would get close to the two degree Target.

However if what Jim and Leon and others are saying is correct, we're going to actually hit that in the 2030s and we're going to take a look specifically based on recent temperature data where we are on that Trend.

But in the paper Jim goes through the the reasoning and thinking behind what was happening here and how we why this upcoming El Niño is a is a good way to see if he's right or or maybe the mainstream of people People are right that maybe it isn't going to be so bad.

This is important definitely for informed climate policy of which there is almost none at this point but Obviously if things are getting worse faster than we thought that will get at least some governments maybe not all governments but some governments to act with more urgency so that's that's the background.

4.20

We should maybe start with this slide which is the first figure of the most recent communication and this is simply temperature anomaly in degrees Celsius from basically pre-industrial times which I think is this is 1880 1920

[Editor's note: Leon speaks but has a thick accent and I'm capturing this transcript with voice typing so I'm unable to capture what he says.]

The chart is based on the NASA giss data set… 

6.0 

those greenhouse gases would already be okay- it's not how much you put out this year it's how much you put out in total because it lasts in the atmosphere for hundreds of thousands of years so that warming from CO2 is a cumulative process. so it's the total amount that does the warming…

7.07

On the chart this is actually 1950 and still not Rising very rapidly and that's because even though CO2 was accumulating at the same time we were industrializing men more and more pollution from plants and everything and ships and everything and so the net warming didn't really start to occur until about 1970 when the US passed the Clean Air Act and started to control some of that pollution and then other countries did the similar thing and that's when climate change started global warming started rising at a relatively steady pace; and then the question is will that pace continue forever you know and that's what kind of was assumed for a long time. 

but as Jim's going to point out in his thing about 2015 something happened and there seems to be a new trajectory and you can even argue that recent data is implying that this direction could be even higher but if you follow the increase trajectory you see that it hits the two degree the top of this graph is two degrees it hits the top of the graph and around 2037 so and that's just…

9.20

This sounds theoretical, this sounds sounds like we're talking about- I don't know- atmospheric stuff whatever; this is your life this is your children's life this is the world's life this is this is this is going to have severe impacts on all of us not in some far off distant future but-

first of all it's definitely happening so that's there's that and that's happening at one and a half degrees but we're on our way to 2° and and it's not like 2° is only a 25% worse than 1.5 it doesn't work like that.

10.0 in video: This is the paper.-

They go into detail on the Hansen et al paper, and my hands can't keep this up any longer; plus the ambient noise is starting in the neighborhood so I won't be able to capture voice from one laptop with another laptop until tomorrow morning. Onward]

[KE: Everything scientists predicted about global warming/ climate change since the 1970s is coming true, only faster]

Fox News has turned my senior housing neighbors into sedition driven zombies; DIY Hospice on a Heating Planet blog

I ended up running back to my apartment calling out "They're lying to you they're lying to you" like the guy in the opening of this 1978 movie trailer, after a recent incident in my HUD senior housing complex. My neighbors, their Fox News mesmerizing interrupted, turned into snarling bullies shouting at me "Shut up get out of the lobby if you don't like it" after I pointed out a lie coming from the TV screen. Invasion of the Body Snatchers is how the whole incident made me feel, what Fox News is doing to Americans while no one stops them. The network gets inside their brains and turns them into something other than what they used to be; and they communicate with each other with knowing glances and eye rolls, implying that they know something we don't know. Since I first saw what the network was doing in 2013, I knew that Fox News is an information warfare attack on the USA from within, taking our cherished First Amendment and turning it against us.

********

We are being Rwanda-ized.

https://cityofangels25.blogspot.com/search?q=Rwanda

******************

Someone controlling certain media is using it to turn one tribe of Americans against the other and it's no coincidence that Rwanda genocide happened in 1994 and then in 1995 Fox News appeared in the usa. 

AAARGH turn off your TV sets and start thinking, humans, aaaaaarrgh.

*****

I was not going to publish this but if I don't I'll just keep running it and running it in my head so here goes.

The incident last week

While I gazed at cans of soup in the free food section of the lobby, Laura Ingraham came on after commercials to announce, "here's something to make Democrats angry." That is not news, I thought, that is hate messaging directed at people like me. The TV in the HUD senior housing Lobby is broadcasting hate messaging so half the residents will know why they should hate the other half.

I am not exaggerating here, this is what Fox News is doing.

Fox is telling people lies designed to make us hate our neighbors.

While picking up my mail and messages last Wednesday, I saw our community TV was turned again to Fox with 2 residents watching, a report on jobs and from the White House I know it was completely false; and spontaneously I said to the two residents sitting there, that's a lie they are lying to you.

They did not ask what, what is not true about the report, they just started shouting shut up get out of here get out of the lobby if you don't like it.

***********

Shut up and get out of the lobby if you don't like Fox News!!!! [snarl].

*************

All three of them as a guy who I never saw before walking by joined them.

That is what Fox News is doing to people

Frothing at the mouth like Mad Dogs made mad by the people on the TV set 

Agitated at the sudden Interruption of their infusion of hate massage from the TV set. I interrupted it and they came after me. 

As a result I had three residents shouting shut up get out of here at me. If you don't like Fox News you can get outta the lobby.

I have a 50 plus year career as a journalist, My first jobs out of college were with NASA and the Navy in public affairs so I know what I'm talking about.

Fox News is turning Americans against each other and it's dangerous. 

********

Amateur Seditionists

They printed up a flyer announcing

'Take "control" of TV time in the lobby!'

The word control is in quotes because they really mean something else. They mean they are going to turn on Fox News and force the residents to tear it whether they want to or not. 

In the future historians will study this phenomenon of middle-aged and older low income Americans, especially women, who love with Donald Trump even though everything he stands for works against their needs. Those historians should look at 2015 when Trump orchestrated release of the "I like to grab them by the pussy" quote. I'm convinced he knew there was a population of post divorce women in this country who are lonely and live sex-deficient lives; and when they heard him say that, it sparked them internally and for the last 11 years they've wanted him to grab them by theirs.

************

[From here on out this is just a rant, a Blog with no purpose or end, just if I don't get this stuff off my mind and publish so somebody reads it, I will keep running it and running it and running it in my head which is what the propagandists want, they want to drive the smart people crazy. I can't let that happen to me.] 

********************

One of the weirdest things to me as someone who has not been hypnotized by Fox News is the way my neighbors think they know something the rest of us don't know. I have a feeling if I took time to watch that horrible network, I'd see how they're doing it, but I can't tolerate 10 seconds of it because it's always lies every time including this situation I was standing there thinking oh no it's Fox News and within 10 seconds, one, Laura Ingraham was telling them here's something that will make your Democrat friends mad and then 5 seconds later and then right after that she's repeating the LIE from the White House that jobs are fine unemployment is down. 

This is where you see that Fox News Watchers have lost critical thinking skills.

About a million people have been laid off in the last year in the USA and nobody's hiring them nobody's replacing those jobs, whole Industries are collapsing, and my mesmerized neighbors are sitting there with mouths hanging open believing the lies the lies the lies they're lying to you they're lying to you.

****

Theirs was a fumbling and amateur attempt at Espionage by grumpy old women in my senior housing complex inspired by Fox News. In the 2024 campaign every weekday at 2:00 p.m. a group of them would vacate the lobby and ride up to A's apartment where they would watch the five as if it was a message coming to them from God straight through Jesse Watters' plump and Pampered Hands. 

how did I get off on such a tangent.

it's because of voice typing, I can just go on and on and on I got to edit this 

Historians will study Maga in the future with great curiosity 

I live among a weird anthropological phenomenon that is happening in America today, poor people who vote Republican and also think Donald Trump was sent by God Himself. They are so low-income they are my neighbors here in HUD subsidized senior housing for poor people only.

Like THIS

It's like the movie Invasion of the Body snatchers. 

40 years ago, old people were just old people. Now they've been armed in the brain by Fox News et al carefully calculated lies and they seem ready to take on those damn liberals. I'm not even a liberal and I get attacked by them. They are enraged and ready to attack at the slightest provocation.

For a person like me who celebrates 50 years of professional journalism this year, it is very difficult to see Americans falling for disinformation- so freely; here is a link to a post about my first paid J job in Travis County Texas:in 1976.

*********

My 'counter culture reach-out project' for Jimmy Carter 1976, to get Vietnam war era 'dropouts' to drop back in and vote for him I got an A ++ on the paper I wrote about the project, which I found in a box last week, scanned below: https://cityofangels25.blogspot.com/2023/12/my-counter-culture-reach-out-project.html 

link above is to report on my first pro journalism job in 1976 on the Jimmy Carter campaign in travis county texas.

**********

it is really hard for me to see even 10 seconds of Fox News because every time I try, I hear them reporting something that I know is not true and it happened again Wednesday night here in my senior housing place where all the doors are locked to keep out people from the outside but the real danger is right here inside the building on TV sets tuned to Fox News.

Last Wednesday, it would have been nice for us to watch the Olympics all together as a joyful group, but Fox News and Donald Trump have ruined that probably for decades to come. 

****************

Hate radio, newsmax, all the entrails that have come out after the successful launch of Fox News in 1995 

The producers of this propaganda have been doing this for decades. They knew exactly how to reach receptors in the brain that make the hate messaging on Fox News make a human feel so good.

What scares me is since my neighbors and other Fox zombies have been brainwashed over their TV sets into hating their neighbors, how long before Fox convinces them to pick up weapons and start killing their neighbors? It's called hate radio for a reason. 

Back in the 70s and 80s I had jobs where I learned a lot about propaganda and using news etc to manipulate people, including tactics of the Soviet Union, because when I worked at Nasa it was in the public affairs office. USA was running joint missions with the Soviets, and Russian journalists were hanging around The Newsroom where I worked. 

So the first time I saw Fox News in 2014 I said to the TV set, that's Soviet propaganda. 

What scares me is the people who responded to Fox News were already receptive to the hate messaging. What scares me is I live surrounded by people who have fallen for this hate messaging and are vulnerable and receptive, ready for the next level of disinformation warfare. 

So for now I'm just going to run down and pick up my mail at times when no one is around and just stay inside my apartment getting everything delivered; luckily I have a lot of windows, and there's ways to go out to the yard without interacting with too many neighbors. That's the way I have to live for a while. Maga did not make America great not by a long shot. 

*********

CUT paragraph:

they were ignorant and preferred their lack of knowledge to the effort of finding out what is really going on, why study or even concentrate when you can just sit and stare at a TV and have people like Jesse Waters fill your head with propaganda, propaganda that was created by people who've been doing this for decades and know exactly how to reach those receptors in your brain that make the hate messaging on Fox make you feel so good.

***

I'm also feeling a weird historical connection to people in 1930s Eastern Europe who saw what was developing around them and couldn't get out and so, like me, found a way to isolate and stay away from it all and hope it doesn't get worse.

***

I got it off my chest, not going to promote this post locally.

Now I can stop waking up in the middle of the night hearing my neighbors shout shut up get the fuck out of the lobby if you don't like Fox News. I hope that stops now that I published this; if nothing else publishing it lets people know what is happening on top of everything else going wrong in the United States, 

Fox News has turned half of the US population against the other half just like a radio station did in Rwanda in 1994.

We are being Rwanda-ized.

Kay Abilene on voice typing

I keep trying but I just don't have the strength to keep producing Heating Planet blog. I got so much gratification from doing it but I'm too old and sick to continue. I landed where I can watch the climate catastrophes that were predicted come true for the duration, without being affected too much. We get lots of snow in Tahoe and that's fine with me, it keeps out the vermin.

I wish I felt better. I really miss blogging. Maybe tomorrow

Autoimmune disease did not exist until the late 1800s, around the same time humans started burning fossil fuels more, and more and more and more, until today we have multiple autoimmune diseases and multiple people getting multiple autoimmune syndrome. The planet is getting too hot too fast as well. I'm rooting for Earth on this one.

Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome (MAS) is what I am dealing with:

Not able to post today as rest is only way to lower symptoms. I've had this since 1996 and it's progressive so... I'm doing great considering

Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome (MAS) is the coexistence of at least three distinct autoimmune diseases in a single patient, often featuring a mix of organ-specific and systemic disorders, with a high prevalence of skin-related conditions like vitiligo or psoriasis. It represents a severe, complex form of polyautoimmunity, requiring careful monitoring to identify new, additional autoimmune disorders.

Key Aspects of Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome (MAS)

• Definition & Types: MAS is classified into three main, sometimes overlapping, categories based on common co-occurrences:
  • Type 1: Often includes myasthenia gravis, thymoma, polymyositis, and giant cell myocarditis.
  • Type 2: Commonly includes Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), primary biliary cirrhosis, scleroderma, and autoimmune thyroid disease.
  • Type 3: Often includes autoimmune thyroid diseases, myasthenia gravis, thymoma, and other conditions like type 1 diabetes, and is sometimes associated with HLA-B8, -DR3, or -DR5.
• Common Symptoms: Symptoms are heterogeneous, reflecting the specific diseases present, but generally include chronic fatigue, joint pain, skin changes, muscular weakness, digestive issues, and signs of organ dysfunction.
• Causes & Risk Factors: The pathogenesis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic susceptibility, immune system dysfunction (loss of tolerance to self-antigens), and environmental triggers.
• Diagnosis & Management: Diagnosis is clinical, based on identifying at least three separate autoimmune diseases. Management often involves specialized care to manage multiple conditions, including medications like corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, such as Anakinra.
• Prevalence: While individual autoimmune diseases are common, having three or more is less common, but the presence of one autoimmune condition increases the risk for developing others.

Early Signs of Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome
Early signs to watch for, especially in patients already diagnosed with one autoimmune disease, include: 

• Unexplained, persistent fatigue.
• New, unexpected joint pain or swelling.
• Skin rashes or pigment changes (e.g., vitiligo, psoriasis).
• Unexplained weight loss or gain.
• Chronic digestive issues.
• Unusual muscle weakness.
