Top government officials have made clear that Covid-19 is going to continue. How do these officials always know what is going to occur ahead of time? What agendas and objectives are being carried out by those who control the levers of power? What else is unfolding on the wider horizon that will soon make all other challenges mute? The latest installment of Global Alert News is below.

When we are most fatigued and most feel like sitting the bench is when it's most important to keep our stride in the fight at hand. All are needed in the critical battle to wake populations to what is coming, we must make every day count.

    Rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continues unabated

    On June 4, 2020, scientists from NOAA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography announced that atmospheric CO2 measured at Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii reached a seasonal peak of 417.1 parts per million for 2020 in May, the highest monthly reading ever recorded.

    Don't Be Fooled. The Corporate Elites Are Gaslighting You Once Again

    We are trapped in an abusive relationship. When we finally have enough, our abuser comes after us with flowers and apologies, promising never to do it again.

    by

    Chris Hedges

    These elites have no intention of instituting anything more than cosmetic change. They refuse to ask the questions that matter because they do not want to hear the answers. They are systems managers. They use these symbolic gestures to gaslight the public and leave our failed democracy, from which they and their corporate benefactors benefit, untouched. corporate overseers. Whatever you think about Donald Trump, he is at least open about his racism, lust for state violence and commitment to white supremacy.

    The problem is the diversion of state resources, including over half all federal discretionary spending, to an unaccountable military machine that wages endless and futile wars overseas, the savage face of white supremacy beyond our border. This military machine perfects its brutal tactics and tools for control on people of color in the Middle East, as it did in other eras in Vietnam, Latin America and the Philippines. It passes on this knowledge, along with its surplus equipment, including sophisticated equipment for wholesale surveillance, drones, heavily armed SWAT teams, grenade launchers and armored vehicles, to police at home. Smashing down a door and terrorizing a family in a night police raid in Detroit looks no different from a night raid carried out against an Afghan family by Army Rangers in Kandahar.

    Scientists made 1 small edit to human embryos….

    A human embryo editing experiment gone wrong has scientists warning against treading into the field altogether.
    To understand the role of a single gene in early human development, a team of scientists at the London-based Francis Crick Institute removed it from a set of 18 donated embryos. Even though the embryos were destroyed after just 14 days, that was enough time for the single edit to transform into "major unintended edits," OneZero reports.
    Human gene editing is a taboo topic — the birth of two genetically modified babies in 2018 proved incredibly controversial, and editing embryos beyond experimentation is not allowed in the U.S. The scientists in London conducted short-term research on a set of 25 donated embryos, using the CRISPR technique to remove a gene from 18 of them.

    An analysis later revealed 10 of those edited embryos looked normal, but that the other eight revealed "abnormalities across a particular chromosome," OneZero writes. Of them, "four contained inadvertent deletions or additions of DNA directly adjacent to the edited gene," OneZero continues.
    The unintended edits exemplify the single biggest concern of gene editing, especially when it involves humans. And to Fyodor Urnov, a gene-editing expert and professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, it sends a clear message: "This is a restraining order for all genome editors to stay the living daylights away from embryo editing."

    PG&E Pleads Guilty To 84 Counts Of Manslaughter
    In a landmark development that marks a victory for California citizens trying to hold the state's largest and most politically influential utility accountable, PG&E pleaded guilty to 84 felony counts of involuntary manslaughter on Tuesday afternoon. The guilty plea marks the end of an investigation into the origins of the Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive in California history.
    Roughly 18 months ago, we reported on the surreal scenes coming out of the town of Paradise, California, which was swiftly swallowed up by flames as the NorCal 'Camp' Fire. That fire eventually became the deadliest wildfire in the state's history, killing at least 84, including dozens of Paradise residents who failed to flee in time.

    dear all

    saw weird clouds today – the old and the new mixed together

    'they' often try to make it rain, especially when we are being burnt to a crisp with the sun coming through no atmospheric ozone

    after heavy rains t'other day the plants have been respiring quite heavily last two days and today joy of joys, the skies were filled with banks of huge white swirling clouds – the type of cloud that i remember – full, fat, swurling, friendly clouds, moving upwards but……

    as the beautiful cloud filled the skies the filth was sprayed above them, but that filth wasn't able to totally cover and hold the clouds in

    then the tops of the white fluffies began to rise, higher and higher, until they poked through the filth, and they still rose, but there was no anvil flat tops – they just kept rising – way, way above where they used to flatten off

    and then some flattened – but way above the filth 

    (where the water in the clouds used to refill the ozone – by the suns rays splitting the hydrogen to fly off into space and forming ozone by the bringing together of the single oxygen atoms to make the 3 atoms of oxygen of ozone)

    so it seemed that some hydrogen flew off but then some of the cloud darkened and became the clouds that are 'wrong' – they appeared raggedy and full of the filth, i suppose from the sprayings that i saw

    although there were still many clouds that were normal, white and beautiful, but the rain only came from the dark filth clouds and when it came down it was 'unnatural' rain – big drops (if drop is the right word) heavy, dense, came down in a huge deluge and then stopped

    friend who lives south of the thames experienced such thunder and lightning, never seen before by her with ear shattering noise – real scary

    but writing this made me remember about the passage of water through a plant, so i shall finish my exchange with you, with this……

    when a plant takes up water through its roots, it splits up in the plant – the hydrogen has one use and oxygen another – aye, and here's the rub – so when water eventually comes out of the leaves the plant has put hydrogen and oxygen back together again – so the water is new water

    how absolutely, astoundingly, wonderful the processes in nature

    hahahaha except the processes that go on in humans – tut, tut – and i wanted to finish on a high note

    so just remember the wonder of water (hahahaha tis my name without the plural s)

    all my love to my human companions on this crazy trip of a life and thank you for your companionship 

    hope my friends across the pond are safe – hear there are many wildfires

    (maybe you can tell i have come out of the gloom into crazy accepting hahahaha)

    WE CAN'T BREATHE!!! 

    It's gotten so bad that finally, at least the Northern California Diocese of the Episcopal Church is going to discuss the triple pandemic of COVID-19, Racism and Climate destruction.  The film maker James Balog (Chasing Ice) is making his film, The Human Element, available free of charge through June 22nd.  At 5:30 p.m. PDT on Wed. June 17 there will be a Q & A with the producer and at 7:30 p.m. there will be a discussion webinar sponsored by the church's Commission on Creation Care.  Sadly, most of us haven't done anywhere nearly enough, even for starters, and now, thanks to the massive fires, the depletion of the ozone, the nanoparticulates we're being sprayed with and the ongoing overheating because nobody wants to give up burning hydrocarbons, I think we can honestly all now say it together:

    WE  CAN'T  BREATHE!!!

    Here's the e-mail I received today:

    This Wednesday, June 17, at 7:30 PM, the Commission on Creation Care will sponsor a discussion of the "triple pandemic" of institutionalized racism, COVID-19, and a warming planet.  Bishop Marc and Melanie Mullens, Director of Justice, Reconciliation, and Creation Care of The Episcopal Church, will lead other special guests, and YOU, in exploring how we, as members of the Beloved Community, can bring healing through "Hope in Action."  The discussion accompanies a free screening period of the James Balog film, "The Human Element," available now through June 22, and a Q&A with the producer at 5:30 PM on 6/17.

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

    Good morning!  I'm writing because of your recent registration for a Good News Gardens event, and I hope this upcoming event will be exciting for you as well.  The program has come together very quickly and without a great deal of advance notice, for which I apologize.  I hope that you can help us get the word out, through your parish or mission, as quickly as possible.  This promises to be a very special event, and we need a great audience to participate.  Could you take the following actions this weekend?

    arrange to have an announcement made during your streaming service tomorrow

    get the press release (attached here) into your website or newsletter as quickly as possible (it has the links to register for the events)

    If that's not possible, you can always tell people to go to diocal.org and type "The Human Element" into the Search box in the upper right corner of the Home page, and a registration page will come up.

    forward this note to three people you think may want to attend.

    We've enjoyed some great conversations with many of you recently, but this promises to be a uniquely important discussion.  It will help us address the unprecedented challenges we are facing, with linked arms and as a community of faith.

    Please write back with any questions!  Hope to see you Wednesday evening.

    Peace today,

    Nancy

     

    So at least this church will be starting a conversation about the triple pandemic of COVID-19, racism and "climate change," and you have the chance to make your voice heard now.  Please register to join this webinar discussion and watch the film before the event on Wed. June 17th at 7:30.  You can go to diocal.org and type in "The Human Element" in the search bar and a registration page should come up.

      "We Can't Breathe!"  Thank you Dennie. After giving out this website, I told a person working in a Fidelity office last week we should have a thousand times more protesters in the streets worldwide over climate engineering than what is going on now over police brutality and race wars- because criminal geoengineering IS KILLING US ALL! Fortunately he seemed quite open and interested in the topic.. said he would research when he had time. I hope he's come here already for an education. Keep planting seeds everyone. Maybe we'll get there before long.

    • Dennie says:

      P.S.:  At least we have someone in our corner here who is on the side of the angels and is not totally in the dark with regard to the environmental issues affecting the people on Earth and how we are called to move to take action.  The Episcopal church is working on developing people in their parishes who more actively take a stand for social and environmental health and justice in our communities.  The bishop's wife, Prof. Sheila Andrus, is a climate scientist:  https://www.thevoiceslu.com/2016/11/u-s-scientist-defies-trump-climate-change/ 

  7. 'a' simple horseman says:

    Dane, Thank you for yet again another fact filled informational hour. Most folks can not conceive the effort(s) it takes to put together as much info as you and yours pack into each weeks broadcast. I am humbled by and grateful for those efforts.

    I've been troubled lately with quite the conundrum in how to exactly file in my aware mind what I am experiencing right outside my front door. Quite frankly, what I see is heaven sent. Who would have thought that adding just a little more precipitation would make things grow where they once did and were just waiting for some more precipitation? So far in my little region, we are on track for averages of 20 years ago. Believe me, chemical cool down checking in here. It's seriously beautiful out my front door. I've got forest floor vegetation taller than I've ever seen it. Red flag!, question, "what's in the rain?"  In 2014, my region had an "above average" rain fall. I remember it well. That's the year I came to stay here full time. Been here 20 years over all. In 2015 the multi million acre "Okanagan Complex Fire" came through and in fact stopped just mile away from me. Am I connecting dots as to what "next year" will bring? Or have they sprayed so much desiccant that just a few good days of wind will dry everything up just fine for a good burn. Something tells me we're going to find out. I see that in many regions to the south of me have had "rain" this spring and have significant growth of native vegetation. Now they are being systematically dried out and set on fire. "They're getting pretty good at the game and "we aren't". Coarse now most of us would just chalk it up to just trying to stay alive. "How alive can 'we' be?" I for one would like to find out. "This shits gotta stop". Not wishing for hard times, but hey, lately, it seems like there's no way around them no matter where you are. Please take my word for it, coming from out in the middle of nowhere, off grid and way under the radar. The walls are rapidly closing in on us all, "globally". Please keep that in mind. We are one. No stepping around that fact, "no matter how cool you think you are".

    Thank you Lord for all that I see that is green. It is wonderful to witness the great design of your ways. I will not be silent.

    Please folks, Do not be silent. Feed your friends with many "fun facts for the day". It is best to not stick around and witness them swallowing more than they could chew. It's a courtesy. Who wants someone to watch them choke and gasp on something that is actually good medicine. It's a personal thing. Give it grace. Believe me, it'll come home if you've made good points. Make good points!!

    I am very embarrassed by the lock step obedience society is being trained to obey. I seriously try to debunk my own thoughts. It scares the bajeebers out of me as to what I see the common citizen succumbing to. Food for thought my friends, "what happens when you can't get into the grocery store 'and/or' the gas station 'without' verification of some f'd up jab in your 'self'. It's coming faster than anyone, including most realists, want to recognize.

    Lastly, I want to thank my friend I have met, Maciek, for being consistent and unrelenting in his effort to raise awareness. Face to the wind my friend. Good to see you understand what that means.

    "Strange days indeed"….. Love and strength to ALL….

      dear horseman

      years 30 yrs ago, when i was trying an 'access' course to get into uni, i encountered teachers who blew me away with their knowledge – how did they get away with teaching their stuff – it was a small course designed to get more women into science – and the authorities took no notice or maybe they didn't understand the info hahahaha but…..

      what i was taught was that, with the increase in carbon dioxide, the plants would increase their growth cos they use the carbon in it to grow, doesn't mean the fire will not get them next year if we dry up again, but hmmm yes mate live in the glorious moment – know how you feel – and about all the rest of it

      tis strange to be such an observer at such a time and as i posted – often feel a little doolally

      Dane and all  those writing here,

       

      I  began,  1995 in San Francisco Bay Region

      noted the Geoengineering. My good friend, Fireman

      watched the changes in compounds sprayed.

      Fungus(black). mycoplasms, polymer fibers  (angel hair in

      appearance) were sprayed.  1999,  I observed low flying

      Military C-130 four engine cargo type laying a trail of black

      smoke,at 800 feet above the  public Marina green area.

       

      This year,  2020    over San Francisco, the  spray patterns

      early May had one day, 4 parallel lines, with the  crossed

      lines.   Into June, the high altitude lines appear. The line

      disappears with 5 minutes. Other times,the line spreads,

      slowly  over the next hour.

      With the Covid situation, I know this is a new time for those 

      nefarious  beings to confuse us.  Keep your immune system

      in top function.  There can be mix of any new, or old compounds

      to create sickness.  Of course the decoy will be the Covid makes

      people sick..Not so..  All is not so, Confusion to medical staff.

      All kinds of  bacterial infections may appear. The symptoms        of

      any  disease have common words used. Is it the Covid or

      did the person have a lung infection ?  All the elderly… They can

      pass away from many things.

       

      Thanks  to Dane, for your grand efforts to inform us.

      And those fake deaths due to Covid.

       

      I thank Dane for posting "Undeniable footage of  spraying,3:12"

      The middle section shows added plume mix.  I have since  my

      early Aviation training days, 1963 onward, never saw jet engines do that !

    Everyone should listen to or read the lyrics to Bob Dylan`s new song Murder Most Foul. It`s about the assassination of JFK. (Hint- Oswald did not do it). I have the feeling that Dylan may have decided to write this song while it could still be written. The song is nearly 17 minutes long, so I will not attempt to reproduce it here.

  9. Crystal Hultberg says:

    "Emergencies entail extreme measures, a narrow focus on a single problem that may justify suspension of democratic due process."  David  Keith, from his 2013 book, A Case For Climate Engineering, Page 24.

    I got David Keith's book a few years ago because I wanted to learn about his plans for SAI (injecting sulfur into the stratosphere).  When I got to page 24, I stopped cold.  I put the book down for a few days and thought about what would justify suspension of democratic due process.  Keith mentioned an asteroid about to hit the earth, but I couldn't see a justification there.  How would that help?  I thought about every emergency I could think of including a public health crisis, but I could not think of anything that would ever justify suspension of democratic due process.

    When I picked up the book again, there was nothing more about the "suspension…", but Keith makes several statements about global governance.

    In the preface Keith states, "My work on solar geoengineering has been funded by academic research grants and by a personal grant from Bill Gates for whom I act as an occasional informal advisor on climate change and energy technologies."

    Spring 2020, we are in Covid 19 lockdown with "a narrow focus on a single problem".  Wall Street is placing bets on vaccines, and Moderna vaccine by Bill Gates is in the lead.

    Years ago during the Clinton administration, I found a story on c-span featuring Kihura Nkuba, a Kenyan radio guy telling about polio campaigns in Africa.  In Kenya and Tanzania the people would run away and hide when the vaccination team came near their village.  The vaccines made children sick and many children were dying.  Nkuba said the vaccines were live polio vaccines.  Later, more such stories were being reported and I learned that the charitable works of the Rotary Club and Bill Gates were involved.  Experimental GMOs also were being tried out in Africa killing people and livestock, promoted by Gates.  Around the world Bill Gates keeps on giving.

    When Bill Gates gave a big grant to the World Health Organization he privatized it and folded WHO into his program.  WHO has become his cooperative lap dog.  Now we hear WHO officials talk about removing people from their homes to stop the spread of Covid, and that "vaccine hesitancy" is listed as a major public health threat.  Mandatory health care imposed by an international organization because Bill Gates says so?  Grants to the CDC foundation buys Gates more influence. and the public is just expected to accept whatever edicts come down upon them.  No independent thinking is allowed.

    The corrupt mainstream media treats Bill with respect, and they interview him as an expert source, an authority.  Line up people.  We have to mass vax 7.8 billion all at once and get herd immunity.

    The internet is a battleground with crooked search engines and censorship.  What is truly unforgivable is the removal of articles from the internet.  That is only justified in the case of a serious criminal activity, not articles about Covid because some twit decides that the content is "disinformation".  I will decide that.  Since some twit thinks I don't have the brains, I suggest that the item be flagged and the concern regarding "disinformation" be presented, but without removing the original item!  And quit fooling around with the search engines!

    Ultimately, we need to get rid of the private companies that collude with government agencies and private interests, and transform the internet to a public service operating with transparency.

    Thanks to DW I looked up another headline with news I didn't want to hear but need to know — Bill Gates and Rockefeller plan to track Americans.

    ID 2020  "leverage immunization as an opportunity to establish digital identity"  (will carry) "far-reaching implications for individuals' access to services and livelihoods"  (to be undertaken) "as a wartime effort, with a public/private bipartisan Pandemic Testing Board established"  "balance between privacy concerns and infection control"  (Individual will) "status…assessed and validated in a few required settings and  many voluntary ones."

    Then you get your patient identification number.  All this can be accomplished with the 1-3-30 plan that estimates that the entire population can be covered in six months.  Will the military help this wartime effort?

    Bill Gates loves the idea of the implantable vaccine certificate.  Imagine all the check points possible where your access can be denied if the reader does not find your status satisfactory, or if the reader finds that you don't have an implant in your arm at all.

    Freedom of assembly?  Freedom of speech?  Freedom of the press?  Military action in domestic affairs?  Private medical records?  Access to services and livelihoods?  Mandatory health care?  Suspension of democratic due process?

    Covid 19 must be the asteroid that David Keith was talking about.

    • Donna-Arizona says:

      By now, everyone here should know that the US is a corporation. Corporations don’t have citizens. Walmart is a corporation, they don’t have citizens either. WE can undo things we have learned and done along the way. Things we are going through, we did voluntarily, and once we have had enough, we can go down to Walmart and quit our job. Then Walmart's rules, codes and policies will no longer apply to us.

    • penny waters says:

      dear sad and worried – know how you feel but never used facebook – tis a weird medium of exchange – and feel that people are finding it hard to cope cos we are living in a crazy time

      don't take it to heart – save your heart for yourself – do things that make you feel good – the best things in life are free – maybe feel the sun on your face and the wind in your hair (although hmmmm)

      or watch nature in some way

      even when i was at a very low point in life living in a flat in a very mixed up part of east london, across from me was a large building and on the top a sparrowhawk built its nest and brought up many babies – was a joy to watch nature still surviving in such a place 

      stop engaging so much with humans – tis not good for the heart or mind my friend – find real uncorrupted nature – even if its only a small bug – fascinating – that kind of life – where ever you can and keep light – pull yourself out of the gloom – only makes you feel bad (as i know so well) – become an observer if you can – apart for the responsibility of freedom – just watch as it all unfolds 

      i feel for you my friend – tis hard to be alive as a conscious human amidst the corruption

  11. penny waters says:

    dear all 

    found this years ago and stuck it on my wall (on a piece of paper – haven't got quite crazy enough to just write on the wall, but who knows about tomorrow)

    helps me to focus objectively sometimes – when the pain of life is too much

    'human reality is essentially chaotic and incomprehensible, with all rational order deriving from the way in which the human mind focuses its attention on certain aspects of reality and organises the resulting perceptions'

    don't know who wrote it but, i think, it puts us all in place as being not quite all the ticket, hahahaha

    tuppence short of a shilling, or sandwich short of a picnic!!

    like we are not quite all there/here

    dreadful things happening here politically – no point in explaining as maybe its happening everywhere – most people seem so insensitive to anything real – except people seem very afraid, but also not conscious of it either

    and craziness seems to be overtaking people in charge, and scientists seem quite mad in the way they view the environment and life in general – as if we can fiddle about with nature with no repercussions

    been engaging with neighbours, which is very hard for me, as they seem not to know so much, that my engagement is a strain…….

    cos i cannot scream and shout at them to wake them up about how they come at life – was brought up not to be rude – but all i want to do sometimes is have a tantrum and jump up and down until i'm sick

    hahahaha, crazy times and my patience is wearing very, very thin

    trying to wake people when they don't listen – mind you, they all seem to have forgotten how horrible and abusive they have been to me – especially after dad died and i was trying to help mum with her alzheimers on my own – was terrorised and feared for our lives – and now they are all smiley and sometimes even help me

    hope all reading this are in a better place than me at present

    freedom is responsibility

    love and light to all

    The Uncanny and Striking Parallels  between the "Fall" of Ancient Rome ; and this ongoing and  immediate "Collapse" of Western Culture ; along with the accompanying "unprecedented" destruction of our Planet's Ecosystem is obvious to anyone with even a smattering of Historical  knowledge.  Rome devalued it's money ; from silver based to pot metal based coins.  Just as  our Federal reserve Bank now  issues  Bank Notes { which used to be silver or gold based }  to be now backed by BS.    Rome reduced the effectiveness of it's Legions ; by recruiting lower quality , weaker, and unfit soldiers. Just as our Military  recruits a weakling "Rainbow" ridden ; two gender Military.    Rome kept its population quiescent with free bread and Circuses ; Just like our Nation now invites people from everywhere to enjoy  "free" food and Hollywood's drivel.  Ancient Rome was actually significantly better off ; because it did not have  the Technological ability to Poison the skies . Poison the Water, Poison the Food and Poison the minds of it's population with incessant lies and conflicts.   Since our Churches  are ordered to restrict attendance ;  we can now make our "Weekly" collections to Dane Help him get "his" sermon out to the Faithful.

      our poor old world is littered with the remains of 'empires' all around the world, look at s america with the aztecs, and many other places leaving hidden clues, grown over by plants or or such large scale destruction leading to deserts – look at the saharan desert – used to be covered by trees – wonder who got rid of the environment???

      seems to me that human societies grow in size, take over their environment, and then destroy it

      only there is no way that i can see that we can come back from this global mess as everyone knows about it but instead of cleaning up their own back yard, we love to blame others and expect them to make it better

      we have always poisoned, in our gobbling of our crust and atmosphere and lies seem so easy for most who are self interested

      have often thought – as i was born in a country (britain) that was losing its grip on 'empire' i realised that, to me, a londoner, rome had extended itself to the point where it couldn't control the amount of land and the relative anti rome natives – blend that with the confusion of people wanting to become part of empire for its wealth and so bringing their own culture and mixing up the line of command

      have come to the conclusion that real freedom is responsibility so it seems most people don't know what freedom is

      i have written this before but i believe that we are just nature watching nature

      the creative nature is wonderful and deadly at the same time – and we are just a reflection of that – do we really have the free will to choose one from the other – good versus evil

      being good involves such suffering as we watch the evil and try to mitigate the effects

      but nature is about creation and destruction – and us too, we create and we destroy and we seem to be at the point where we are destroying ourselves

      sadness that hurts – to see and to know what is happening – beyond what any of us can take sometimes

    Watch Benjamin Freeman's speech at the Willard Hotel.  He was an insider in the creation and destruction of Germany by those that looted it, as well as Russia, Ukraine and several others with well over 100 million innocents.  Either tell the truth as Freedman tells exactly who is in control and the lies that the US/UK and a group of secret societies as they own or run every institution on earth now.  He spent his fortune trying to teach the TRUTH/FACTS of these wars and yet, we regurgitate lies.

    Quite frankly, there is nothing that can be done as humanity is mostly evil (Bias of Priene one of the 7 sages).  We are a parasite of the most evil that can ever be conceived, creating a level of suffering of the rest of life that there is no remorse as long as we don't care or have a wit of empathy to the web of life as it's all a resource, a slaughterhouse all for money and those most wealthy are involved.  The pope bows down to kiss the ring of Rothschild who financially took over now all Abram (Brahma) faiths of lies and deceit.  Watch a few hours of what we do to animals as we beat to death young calves for our milk production, and this is just the beginning of far worse abominations of a parasite species.

    "I keep in close touch with what is happening in the world. And there are times when I feel deeply grieve by the suffering I read about, and I wonder why life has to be this way. But I never despair. At those times I go deep, deep, into meditation until I reach the very source of love and wisdom that exists in each of us. When I do, I am assured that all is well."  – Eknath Easwaran

    Thanks Dane, you keep us all from despairing in this insane world.

    This is so heartbreaking, thank you for sharing.

    On thin ice: thawing permafrost dampens Russia’s economic growth prospects | World Finance

    As permafrost across more than half of Russia thaws, critical oil and gas infrastructure is becoming defective.  If Moscow fails to curb its dependence on fossil fuels, it risks losing power and influence on the geopolitical stage

    Until recently, President Vladimir Putin argued that global warming was good news for Russia. At the 2017 Arctic: Territory of Dialogue international forum, he claimed it would result in “more favourable conditions for economic activity” in the northernmost reaches of the country. This idea isn’t as far-fetched as it might seem. In his bestselling book 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari explained how Russia could stand to benefit from climate change: “Whereas higher temperatures are likely to turn Chad into a desert, they might simultaneously turn Siberia into the breadbasket of the world.”
    But this year, the leader of the world’s fourth-largest greenhouse gas emitter changed his tune on climate change.  Although Putin continues to insist the phenomenon can’t be confidently attributed to human activity, he admitted in June 2019 that Russia was warming 2.5 times faster than the global average.  “This is a major challenge for us,” he said. “This is the reason for the floods and for permafrost thawing in the areas where we have fairly big cities. We must be able to understand how to react.”

    A pipe dream
    As the Arctic sea ice retreats, the Northern Sea Route becomes more navigable to the world’s superpowers. With a fifth of its territory inside the Arctic Circle, Russia has long envisioned itself as the gatekeeper of this sea lane. Although the Northern Sea Route will never be as integral to global trade as the Suez Canal, it could nonetheless become an important passageway between Europe and Asia, saving freight companies millions of dollars and weeks in travel time.
    Russia is convinced that its economic future depends on Arctic exploration. As well as opening up a globally important shipping route, the melting sea ice makes it easier to access rich supplies of fossil fuels. The US Geological Survey estimates that the Arctic may be home to as much as 20 percent of the remaining oil and gas reserves on Earth. On the surface, Russia would seem to be making great progress towards seizing these resources: in late 2018, energy giant Novatek finished building Yamal LNG, a $27bn liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant. By 2030, Moscow expects it to produce 60 million tons of LNG each year.
    But extracting oil and gas in such a hostile environment with limited infrastructure is far from easy. “These are very capital-intensive areas where returns are not expected before 10 to 20 years of development,” Pami Aalto, a Jean Monnet professor at the University of Tampere, told World Finance.
