ABOUT THE SCIENCE

Let’s go through this step by step, because the science is clear — and the trends are accelerating faster than most people realize.

1️⃣ Sea-Level Rise & Doubling Time:
Global sea levels have risen 8–9 inches (21–24 cm) since 1880, but the key issue is acceleration. The rate has already jumped from about 1.5 mm/year to over 3 mm/year, and it’s still climbing.

The doubling time — the period required for a trend to double — is collapsing.

Originally: about 100 years

By 2020: 10 years

By 2024: 2 years

That means climate impacts are now doubling in intensity every two years. If that continues, the damage could be four times worse in 2 years, eight times worse in 4, and up to 64 times worse within a decade.
If left unchecked, this trajectory could result in sea-level increases of up to a foot per year by 2050. These are conservative estimates, assuming feedback loops and tipping points don’t accelerate the process even further.

2️⃣ Global Health Impacts:
A recent Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change report revealed that we’re entering a global public health emergency.

One death per minute: The surge in heat-related deaths now equates to roughly one fatality every minute worldwide.

Rising exposure: The average person has endured 19 days per year of life-threatening heat over the past four years — nearly all directly linked to human-caused warming.

Severe health impacts: Extreme heat leads to heatstroke, dehydration, kidney injury, and worsens heart and lung diseases.

Disproportionate vulnerability: The elderly, children, and those with chronic illnesses are at greatest risk.

Economic collapse in slow motion: In 2024 alone, extreme heat caused the loss of 639 billion labor hours, inflicting catastrophic economic losses — especially across the world’s poorest nations.

3️⃣ Epigenetic Changes — The Molecular Link:
A critical connection between these health crises and the climate system lies in epigenetics — chemical modifications that alter gene expression without changing the DNA sequence itself.

These changes act like a dimmer switch for genes, turning key biological pathways on or off in response to environmental stress.

Extreme heat, air pollution, and viral infections such as COVID-19 all trigger epigenetic modifications.

These modifications can activate high-risk genes associated with cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurological disorders.

When multiple climate stressors overlap — like heat, ozone, and particulate exposure — the epigenetic damage compounds, creating exponential vulnerability across multiple organ systems.

This means the climate crisis isn’t just environmental — it’s molecular, reshaping human biology itself in real time.

4️⃣ Cold vs. Heat Deaths:
Cold-related deaths have historically exceeded heat deaths, but the balance has shifted. The rise in heat-related mortality now outpaces the decline in cold-related mortality, and the trend is accelerating.

5️⃣ Wind Energy Cost:
Onshore wind remains among the cheapest forms of energy, costing roughly $30–$60/MWh ($0.03–$0.06/kWh). Even accounting for materials and maintenance, it undercuts fossil fuels once health and disaster costs are included.

6️⃣ The “Green Energy Cabal” Myth:
This isn’t about ideology — it’s about physics, biology, and mathematics. The planet won’t die, but the systems that sustain us will. We are watching exponential destabilization, not gradual change.

Bottom Line:
Climate change is not linear — it’s exponential. Sea levels, disease burdens, and heat-related deaths are doubling faster than any model predicted a decade ago. The crisis now spans from coastlines to chromosomes, from collapsing economies to shifting epigenomes.

Ignorance and denial don’t slow that curve — they steepen it.

* Our probabilistic, ensemble-based climate model — which incorporates complex socio-economic and ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, nonlinear system — projects that global temperatures are becoming unsustainable this century. This far exceeds earlier estimates of a 4°C rise over the next thousand years, highlighting a dramatic acceleration in global warming. We are now entering a phase of compound, cascading collapse, where climate, ecological, and societal systems destabilize through interlinked, self-reinforcing feedback loops.
