Jan 2019

in some northern places like Siberia is warming up. Structures like houses and pipelines built on the solid frozen ground may find their foundations becoming less stable.
Worse, the organic matter in that melting permafrost will decay and release lots of gases adding to the global warming.

Is global warming getting to a point of positive feedback, ie is today's global warming making future global warming much worse, with predicted disaster points getting closer?

Trump may be an idiot, but any idiot should be able to see that the weather is getting more energetic. More fires, more massively destructive out of season storms, more rain there, more drought here, more heat here and more cold there.

Trump, if that was meant as a joke, you must be one real crazy goofball!
