"Human-caused climate change boosted Iceland and Greenland’s temperatures by several degrees during a record-setting May heat wave, raising concerns about the far-reaching implications melting Arctic ice has for weather around the world, scientists said in an analysis released Wednesday.
...
Melting ice sheets and glaciers also contribute to sea level rise that is threatening to flood coastlines globally and inundate low-lying island nations in the Pacific Ocean."
(AP News, emphasis added). The excellent reporting falls a but short by not mentioning sea level fall, which is what is happening around Greenland because of that ice melt (The Bathtub Model Doesn't Hold Water, 2, 3, 4, 5). But I digress.
The photo at Fig. 1 is a historical revelation on earth-shaking proportion, as indicated by the center-page ad in a magazine of that time, then changed their name to ExxonMobil some years after that (Humble Oil-Qaeda).
The headline was "EACH DAY HUMBLE SUPPLIES ENOUGH ENERGY TO MELT 7 MILLION TONS OF GLACIER!"
"50 Years Ago Big Oil Bragged About Being Able To Melt Glaciers, While They Knew About Climate Change
...
Newly-released oil industry documents push back the start date of the world’s most successful disinformation campaign to the 1960s, if not earlier. The must-read documents, published by The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), strengthen the hand of the numerous attorneys general investigating whether ExxonMobil engaged in a cover-up to mislead the public and investors about the dangers of human-caused climate change."
(Humble Oil-Qaeda). Dredd Blog pointed that out in 2016, so in 2018 they "inspired" a book which criticized Dredd Blog (Oil-Qaeda & MOMCOM Conspire To Commit Depraved-Heart Murder- 6).
Since then they have continued their earth destruction by doubling down ever so often , which follows one of the oldest habits in world civilizations, as was pointed out in the first post of this series:
"That something is the dementia that produces and ends up in suicide:
"In other words, a society does not ever die 'from natural causes', but always dies from suicide or murder --- and nearly always from the former, as this chapter has shown."(A Study of History, by Arnold J. Toynbee). There is no cure for the final symptom of that group dementia, there is only prevention by way of avoiding it altogether in the first place.
The components of that group dementia were pointed out in an encyclopedia piece concerning that historian quoted above:
"In the Study Toynbee examined the rise and fall of 26 civilizations in the course of human history, and he concluded that they rose by responding successfully to challenges under the leadership of creative minorities composed of elite leaders. Civilizations declined when their leaders stopped responding creatively, and the civilizations then sank owing to the sins of nationalism, militarism, and the tyranny of a despotic minority. "(Encyclopedia Britannica, emphasis added). The show stopper, in terms of remedy, in this type of group dementia is that it is a contagious dementia.
(How To Enjoy The End Of Bad Choices). Sounds like the oldest habit of civilizations is still with us.
Let's break that habit! (Nation-wide protests).
