At 23.54 James Hansen begins testimony, "Number one, the Earth is warmer in 1988 than at any time in the history of instrumental measurements."

Hansen today: "I said I was 99% confident that this was a real physical effect of the increasing carbon dioxide."

Sounds of reaction in Congress interrupt and Hansen stops for an instant-

-

-then keeps on talking. His voice is young, kind of nervous, shaky but determined to keep on.

What a moment in history. Here was a top NASA scientist warning in 1988 of the global warming that is now about to dominate the planet but politicians and American leaders did not respond; and look where we are now.

Hansen Substack: Super El Nino & Bigger Problem

This super-duper El Nino arrives on a planet already infected by human-made global warming. Heat waves are increasing, at sea and on land. https://jimehansen.substack.com/p/super-duper-el-nino-and-the-bigger  Marine heat waves (Fig. 3) tend to be more extreme in the summer, when the ocean surface mixed layer is thinnest and winds are calmest. Marine heat waves have increased over the past century in response to global warming[4] and recently their intensity is increasing faster, coincident with acceleration[5] of global warming (Fig. 4).

Mainstream news is finally embracing climate, but it's not just a "Super El Nino" coming, it's that we passed 1.5 C faster than COP 20 warned in 2015 and now Earth is getting hotter faster- EDITORIAL at Heating Planet blog- https://cityofangels25.blogspot.com/2026/09/not-el-nino-we-passed-15-c-and-now-were.html

It wouldn't be a super El Nino if we hadn't passed 1.5 C and now Earth is getting hotter faster- EDITORIAL at Heating Planet blog

Ir's not just an El Nino that's coming, it's that we passed 1.5 C faster than they thought we were going to, back in 2015 when COP 20 said 1.5 C by 2030 would be a disaster and the goal was to never pass 1.5 C. I'm happy to see mainstream news embracing the climate crisis finally, but it's not just an El Nino and the way they keep repeating that, to me, is disinformation, because it's making people think this is a temporary situation. 

Now that we've passed 1.5 C the heating is becoming exponential and it's going to get hotter and hotter faster and faster and that is the story that broke just this past few weeks. 

Somehow "super El Nino" is the story that's being repeated over and over and over in corporate media where they seem to only read a headline and a few paragraphs of press releases and then just repeat each other. 

It wouldn't be a super El Nino if we hadn't passed 1.5 C and now we're getting hotter and hotter and getting hotter faster. 

I can't figure out what the benefit is to letting the planet keep heating and heating. Even for the oil industry, that money they're getting is temporary. 

As long as they treat this Global crisis of fires and floods as  just weather, another El Nino, that it's going to last a while and then end somehow, we aren't going to have a solution or a way to stop the heating.

I'm beginning to think the wars that are going on right now might be the best solution because they are blowing up refineries and oil tankers right and left, and pretty soon there's not going to be any oil available anywhere and we're all going to be forced to find alternative energy. 

-peace out

AM- So I'm working on a second piece that I'm tentatively calling The Last Window. We squandered the wonderful window that we had after Hansen's Congressional testimony in 1988

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

trANScript

DM- By the way they're not talking about climate at all during the campaign now like no one in the Democratic party as far as I can tell except maybe just mentioned it as a word and in some longer set of important issues. What do you make of that? Is that basically what you're saying, right? 

AM So I've spoken to the people because, you know, I'm in Hollywood, we have some money, so they call us. And I've spoken to the people that you would think in the Senate and the House would have some knowledge of what's going on with the rapidly, you know, fatalistically warming climate. 

They have no clue and no care. 

The only one I've ever spoken to who seemed to get it is Rashida Talib. She is the one that I have spoken to who got it, you know, and for a lot of your viewers and listeners, the science isn't that complicated, right? It's greenhouse gases. They let in heat. They trap it. You look at the numbers. You look at the Earth energy imbalance. How much heat are we taking in, letting out, and that's kind of it; you can get into like murkier rates of change, you know, flickering, phasing, but for the most part, it's pretty simple science. 

And I'm not going to name names because then those people will never talk to me again. But you would be shocked by the people that have like I've talked to and I've said, "Hey, you've got a real problem. You're talking about food supply chains. You're talking about reservoirs like water and they have no idea because they're living in a culture in Washington DC that's all about poll numbers, donors, money. 

And so, you know, when we look to the future, what's coming in the next 6 to 18 months, which is going to be serious stuff., I think in our minds we have to kind of discount the American the United States federal government and we have to discount mainstream media. I think they become very dangerous. 

If you're listening to the New York Times daily podcast, if you're watching CNN, you're going to really be living in an alternative financial market-based reality which can really put you in serious jeopardy. 

DM- Right. By the way, so the lie is we still have time; actually as you point out in the article, it comes in many different forms like one you mentioned was you know net zero by 2050 and these kind of things. Can you walk us through some of these forms that we see this like? Because it's not all people just saying, "Hey, we have time," but they-

21.30

AM- Yeah, it's the center of the lie is that climate warming, rapid climate man-caused warming, is a political issue. It's something to Yeah. do something about because it's for our great grand-kids. It's something our corporate partners are working with us on. There are so many different versions of the lie. 

But they all circle the central idea that we have more time, that experts are working on it. They're not. And the result is that we have now run out of time. That window that we had from James Hansen's address in the 80s has closed.

^^^^

We have now run out of time. That window that we had from James Hansen's address in the 80s has closed.

*********

I mean, it is over and we're now in a very dangerous, tumultuous stage. So, you know, the lie takes many forms. I remember when Biden announced that he was stepping down and then there was this lame duck period that he had and I was like, why wouldn't you declare a climate emergency at that point? 

Keep in mind, it's nothing to declare an emergency. If you look at the list of issues that the federal government has declared emergency or war on, it's crazy. I mean things like pink eye and like [laughter] you know dogs in hot cars are on there. By the way dogs that should be an emergency scene. 

So, I remember when Biden withdrew and I was pulling my hair out because mainstream news media, no one was mentioning that he should declare a climate emergency. He's unplugged from the donor millions of dollars. He no longer has to worry about elections. And I would say the same thing about Barack Obama. 

And both of those examples point to how deep the corruption and rot is that that system. It's creating candidates and elected officials who have no part of themselves that cares about the public good. 

You know, there was a study out of Princeton, I think it was 2012, that showed statistically there is no correlation between the will of the people and policy outcome in Washington DC. But when you look at the interest of big money in the same study, it's one to one. 

So there's no country like the United States except maybe the UK where we're hit with the level of feelgood marketing advertising propaganda. And it's extremely upsetting to see this disaster rolling towards my family, friends, communities, former home towns. And whenever I bring it up, they act like, "Oh, Adam's just worried about the climate. That's kind of his thing. That's his thing." 

DM- Yeah, I get that all the time. You're, you know, it's like being, as they say, it's like flatulence at a cocktail party, you know, like they people don't really want to hang around you when you're talking about it.

JUMP TO

46.25

Leon Simons- I wanted to ask you to talk a bit about the letter you wrote to to all governors, mayors, first responders, and anyone entrusted with public safety, disaster preparedness and relief about the ongoing super El Nino which is still about to have impact on the global climate and I sign it as well. Can you talk about it a bit? 

AM- Yeah. So, you guys know, and I'm sure most of the people watching this know that it's rare that you have data, clear data, indicating an impending mega disaster, and no one talks about it. 

*******

You have data, clear data, indicating an impending mega disaster and no one talks about it. 

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

Actually, I said it's rare and that's not true because more and more in the United States that's become the pattern. Whether it's legalizing opioids with a prescription, completely legalizing sports gambling, you know, for-profit healthcare. I mean, the list of mega fatal disasters that America normalizes to keep the financial markets up. It is it it really is too long to list. 

48.04

So the goal of the letter that we wrote that we got people like yourselves to sign- a mixture of scientists, activists, climate journalists, notable citizens like Mark Ruffalo and Jane Fonda- the goal of that letter was to specifically appeal to governors, mayors, and first responders. 

We felt like the federal government in the United States is too collapsed. It's just they're all in crazy land. There's zero chance that the federal government is going to respond to what the disaster that we're heading into. 

But we felt like if mayors of major cities and governors were appealed to, we knew the majority would ignore it because they're only concerned about poll numbers and donor checks. But we figured even if a couple of them saw it and took it in, that could save thousands of lives. And sure enough, we heard from I think it's three governors, maybe four. One of them, a Republican, by the way. And no, we did not hear from Governor Newsom or a bunch of Democratic governors. We did not hear from Karen Bass and a bunch of corrupt Democratic mayors. But the or from the president. What's that? 

LS- Or from the president. 

AM- We didn't even send it to the president. [laughter] That would be like us giving the letter to like a squirrel. Like [laughter] so we didn't even bother. 

By the way, we also sent the letter to I think a dozen or two dozen mayors of big international cities. 

And so yeah, the idea was even if we don't hear from them, even if they just read it, given the scale of the impending disaster, if just a couple do a little bit more than what they normally would have done, it could save a lot of lives.

DM- into this moment that in the article about the 2C and the 3C and the two and the four billion. So we're talking really pretty bad here; any thoughts on how to counter this lie. You didn't really, you didn't really get into that in the article. 

AM- So, I am working on a second piece that I'm tentatively calling the last window. And we squandered the wonderful window that we had. I, you know, loosely and unofficially I would mark Hansen's address to Congress in 1988. 

DM-1988

AM- Yep as the beginning of that window. And even though we've known the science about climate warming for a long time and that window had a lot of heady wonderful theories, pledges, conferences, but as we sit here with a three-year average of 1.5 degrees Celsius warming and I think like Today we're at 1.85 even though that's daily. It's not a larger average; and then the El Nino looks insane, which more and more seems like the El Nino,, in a kind of physics sense, like an explosion seems to be a way that the ocean is burping out heat and giving us bumps. And that's not just me saying that. 

There are scientists theorizing they're becoming more frequent, more powerful.

So I think we're going to have one last tight window and I don't know if that window for action is 3 months, six, seven, but it's going to require a total repudiation of all of the institutions that have lied us into this moment.

all of the institutions that have lied us into this moment.

Hawaii 1st tornado watch ever Sep 7-8- Sources cited and linked here at DIY Hospice on a Heating Planet blog- VIDEO & stills by Nature Damage UK

Hurricane Lowell brought "Dangerous surf, widespread flooding, prolonged power outages, and the first tornado watch ever- winds up in the forward right-hand quadrant that's favorable for rotation and tornadoes. Tornado warnings were issued during the storm, although no confirmed tornado touchdowns had been a tornado watch at 4:13 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time Monday for parts of Kauai and adjacent coastal waters." Quote starts at 4.15 here:

Video from Nature Damage channel on YouTube from UK since Nov 3, 2022

REPORT

Hurricane Lowell has had a “devastating” impact on Hawaii after sweeping past the state’s islands, leaving at least one person dead, damaging homes and knocking out power to tens of thousands, according to Gov. Josh Green. A homeless man on Oahu died after a tree fell on the tent he was living in, the governor said. Hurricane Lowell battered the westernmost islands of Hawaii overnight into Tuesday with hurricane-force wind gusts and monstrous surf. Wind gusts over 80 mph knocked out power for around 90% of homes and businesses in Kauai County, which also includes the island of Kauai, according to PowerOutage.com. The county’s provider said on Tuesday morning there is “no estimated time of restoration” and outages could be long-lasting. In Kapa’a, Kauai, dozens of guests at the ISO Hotel were evacuated to shelters Monday, according to CNN affiliate KITV. Coastal flooding closed roadways in South Maui and areas in Maui Nui Monday morning, according to a Facebook post from the County of Maui. On Monday, high surf inundated a handful of ground floor units in a western Oahu condominium. All flights at Lihue Airport, Kauai’s primary airport, were canceled Monday afternoon, Hawaii’s Department of Transportation said. The airport will reopen when it's safe to do so, the department said. All state and county offices, Kauai Community College and public schools are closed in Kauai County and on Oahu Tuesday as cleanup and damage assessments continue, Green announced Monday.

It's starting! Earth passed 1.5c effects- Waves overtake Long Beach Calif coast- Sci-fi sort of- Eternal journalist dispatch to space overlords at DIY Hospice on a Heating Planet blog

Yesterday while surfing on YouTube looking for climate reports, a few seconds into this video the nudges became excited like allergen molecules in sunlight, saying look at this look at this look at this.

I looked and realized 

This is it. 

This is the beginning. 

It's starting! Waves crash into homes along L.A. coast, effects of passing 1.5 C already are already being felt. Humans will soon be forced to relocate- Eternal journalist dispatch

Sci-fi sort of

It seems like one climate effect affects another and that affects another and the Heat and Devastation increase exponentially. 

In this video, I watch humans watch the ocean attack Long Beach beachfront and wonder how much farther is that water going to go before somebody does something drastic to stop this, or are they just going to let it happen. 

SMH over how befuddling these humans are. 

From here until God knows how this ends, we will be watching footage like this of nature taking back her territory, witnessing the effects of going past 1.5 C already, how devastating the climate crisis already is, and it just makes you wonder how bad is it going to get.

***********

So the summary of this dispatch from planet Earth to the overlords is that the climate crisis is happening faster and humans are having to pack up and move fast as one disaster after another hits different areas. I don't know how long it's going to take them to figure out what's going on, they may never.

peace out, sunshine,

Cassandra traveling through time and space, I look forward to seeing you all in person soon, as I'm approaching 80 years in this human body so I ain't going to be here too much longer.

*******

My job is to watch and report to my overlords out in the universe. somewhere. Hopefully when I leave this body I'll meet them in person, how ever it's done once you're not in a body anymore.

I'm so grateful. that I am so crippled that I can't do anything but sit here and blog. As usual, the nudges who run the eternal journalist operation from somewhere out in space have arranged everything. 

The apartment I landed in is a lot like a BOQ suite, I just realized. I need to be more grateful to the nudges who kept me here in Tahoe.

Way back in 2015 I was living in the Mojave Desert looking for newfangled spacecraft that I'd heard innovative engineers were building there, I learned that the planet had passed the tipping point for climate, the global tipping point. 

Back then I hadn't realized there were nudges running everything in my life.

I decided to move to South Lake Tahoe as a place to ride out the climate crisis for the cool air and freshwater with access to modern conveniences as even though it's a small town. it's a resort. For some reason up here at 6,000 ft the nudges are much more apparent, they can't even try to hide from me up here.
