On the Ocean

1 ) According to scientific studies from 2025 it is possible that the Atlantic Ocean air current [AMOC] will collapse. When this happens temperatures will plummet. It will no longer be possible to grow a lot of food in the UK & Ireland and other parts of Europe. I did everything I could to draw attention to this and other potentially very dangerous things.
It is very unlikely at first. Each year it will be more likely. The study in the first link below shows that the AMOC will very likely collapse in the next few decades. When this happens, it will also influence monsoons in West Africa and South Asia. Most likely billions of people will not have food security. Also, when it happens - it can happen over night. The Greenland Ice Sheet is melting faster than expected and that also increases the chances of an AMOC collapse.
Billions of People are going to starve to death (unless we take drastic unprecedented global action). Many will have to watch their relatives starve, if not worse. If you cannot face this responsibility, What is wrong with you?
When we reach some tipping points (including flying past 2C), then there is no going back. It's a problem. Reducing Global Emissions by more than 28% between 2025-30 seems incredibly unlikely as things are now.
2 ) According to a study by the Institute for Economics and Peace there is also a likelihood of over 1 billion refugees in 25 years. The hottest parts of the world will have to be evacuated over the next few decades. I'm assuming that will not go well.
The Guardian recently asked the opinion of 380 IPCC climate scientists. Some said they feel "hopeless and broken" and "relieved they don't have children". How did we get here? Well, it doesn't matter we're here. The majority of scientists said we will probably get to 2.5C/3C. That is the most likely scenario. If that happens most people in the world will starve. Giant cities will be full with rotting corpses. We need to stop using fossil fuels and pay attention to how we grow food. Unfortunately, Colin Quinn didn't come across this in his extensive research. I will continue to update this blog.
When societies breakdown mass rape usually happens and other types of abuse (I will try to back that up with evidence).
There's billions to be made from not doing anything and using more oil, gas and coal. That is the Problem.
Also, according to scientists I've seen there's a 50-50 chance we pass 2C after 2040 (Definitely by 2050). Which will also lead to mass starvation and most likely mass sexual assault. There will be a global situation were mitigation and adaptation are no longer effective in reducing global heating. Emissions are higher than ever. This is the biggest crime in human history.
I will really focus on positive solutions in the future. That is of paramount importance. All of the solutions exist. Enough people need to be aware that, as UN Climate secretary Simon Steill says, "We have two years to save the world". All of the solutions exist. However, it is also worthwhile describing reality as it is. That is what I would want. I would not want to be patronised. I think some people arguing against describing things honestly when there is clearly too much complacency are making a dire mistake. We need a vast global change in a relatively short space of time and there is a massive financial system in the way, which is not understood by most people. Oil and the petrodollar are big parts of the global economy. So the worrisome future events I'm describing are only very very likely.
However, it is probably also the case along with more economic education, we should focus a lot on adaptation and mitigation. I will try to learn as much as I can about solutions from climate scientists. I will mainly focus on that along with art.
I will mainly focus on pointing towards positive solutions in the future. That is my main aim. It is complacent to think that the robustness of the scientific work is the same as studying how to effectively share what is happening. The polling that shows most Americans don't think 'climate change' will personally affect them is one clear indication that the majority of people don't realise the scale and urgency of this crisis, among many others.

I was not trying to say Kanye West this is how great I am. I was trying to say Kanye West look at this. And Everybody else. I learned about Environmentalism at a time of my childhood when I experienced complex trauma. It represented renewal to me. That is why I was devoted to learning about related issues like politics and economics. That is also why I did everything I could to draw attention to this issue.
A lot of you need help just as much as I do.
I had a very unique life with particular limitations and constraints.
People do take on qualities of their abusers.
My art was about empowering people and Love.
I will continue to update this website.
I think people will agree I need to go and prioritise my mental health and not let it get out of hand again. Not think I can handle everything alone. I will point people in the direction of other people who have worked hard on solutions.
This was the first time I ever got to live life. That is the primary reason why I asserted myself so much. So whether people like it or not, I'm going to take the chance. There were complex psychological reasons why I was asserting myself so much. Not ego. I have strong boundaries. I really appreciate if anyone has sympathy with that.
I promised a Holocaust survivor I would never forget. I'm going to stick by that promise. Roger Hallam's ideas about Citizens Assemblies [town meetings] are interesting (Look him up!). There are some other interesting people. I do, however, think we all need to try and forgive each other. We need positive action more than we need to punish anyone.
(This is the only page I intend to put on this website. I'm still updating the theme)
