World War III: What about the Drones?

I hope you are preparing for a beautiful family Christmas celebration.

But are you up at night worrying about the drones?

Reports of mysterious objects and lights in the sky are pouring in, especially from New Jersey, but also from all over the U.S. and UK. And from some other places in the world, such as the U.S. base in Ramstein, Germany. Some of them are said to be drones.

U.S. government spokespersons have said that the investigation is ongoing, and so far no threats have been detected. Most sightings were cases of mistaken identities of lawful aircraft. Testimony from the FBI and Justice Department state that there are “gaps in legal authorities,” and officials call for  legislation giving yet more authority to the government. The official response could be a clever attempt to calm us down while seizing even more power. It could involve denial of secret military activities. It is far from being confidence inspiring.

Not surprisingly, there are lots of calls to “shoot them down”—whatever they are.

It is always good to ask: Why now? Who benefits?

What is indisputably happening now is that there are many serious problems worldwide, and the drones are a major distraction. One possible result is panic that may give more power to government, may restrict the rights of the public to use drones, may reshape the airline industry (like COVID-19 reshaped the retail industry), and may even provide the excuse to start a war (like the “weapons of mass destruction” rumors justifying the Iraq war).  Also, a new Administration is being inaugurated on Jan. 20—an event various forces would like to prevent.

Here are some established facts:

  • Both unjustified  mass panics and real governmental conspiracies have occurred.
  • London’s Gatwick airport was shut down for 3 days in December 2018, ruining Christmas for 140,000 passengers, because of reports of drones that never existed.
  • Many countries have sophisticated drones, including Iran, Russia, Ukraine, and China. They use them for attacking enemies. Why use them to make a light show in New Jersey? If they are seeking surveillance of sensitive military facilities, in addition to their intelligence from satellites, balloons, and spies, why attract attention, and why do it at night?
  • Keeping something aloft and moving requires an energy source, which produces heat. That heat should be detected by available methods.
  • Objects must be launched and landed. Can they not be tracked by modern radar and similar technologies?
  • Before AI became reality, drones required a pilot on the ground, using electronic signaling. Can the signals not be tracked or jammed, as is happening on the battlefield? Has AI become developed enough that despite current criticism it is now trusted to pilot large drones?
  • There are laws of physics, and things that are impossible, like in magic shows, are tricks or illusions—unless we are dealing with a civilization that has conquered gravity and other natural forces, which they are for some reason choosing to exhibit over New Jersey in December 2024.
  • Some of the objects display FAA-compliant lighting, suggesting that they may be either legally operating aircraft or objects disguised to look like that.
  • Mysterious aerial phenomena have been observed since the 1600s if not earlier.
  • Concerns about stolen nuclear weapons have been around for decades. The Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) has been active for half a century. International agencies have been working on updated systems for their detection, especially in transport such as in container ships. However, radioactive material can be well shielded, and the level of radiation decreases with the square of the distance.

We need physical evidence, not just blurry photos, official opinions, and speculation—possibly an SUV-sized drone that crashed or that was followed until it landed. Meanwhile, we don’t know what is really happening—maybe more than one thing.  But most important is not to panic. Panic is never helpful and usually a disaster.

As H.L. Mencken said, “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

Concealed nuclear weapons are not imaginary, but if deeply buried years ago, their position might be revealed by detonation. In that case you need instruments at hand that can detect radiation levels that are immediately harmful, not ultrasensitive instruments on a drone somewhere. Those who educated themselves and made preparations are far more likely to survive.

WILL  THE  OUTGOING  REGIME  START  WORLD WAR III?

DDP Newsletter November 2024, Vol. XL, No. 6

When political and/or economic collapse is threatening, an age-old method for a regime to maintain its grip on power is to start a war.

While the incoming Trump regime is unpredictable, President-Elect Trump said his priority was to stop the killing in Ukraine. However, without a crushing military defeat, Russia is not going to give up its proclaimed objectives. And it is Ukraine that is being crushed. Russians are advancing relentlessly on the ground in Ukraine, a succession of U.S. and NATO Wunderwaffen having failed to change the game (tinyurl.com/5n92u8yp).

A loss in Ukraine would be a disaster, according to Western reigning authorities (https://tinyurl.com/mr64ydh5). Former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Mark Milley said, “What’s at stake is the global international security order that was put in place in 1945” (https://tinyurl.com/5n8968n4). Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stated, “Failure in Ukraine could be the beginning of the end of the golden age of the West” (tinyurl.com/mru2cv95). Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Ukraine’s defeat would be the end of the West’s postwar hegemony (tinyurl.com/2sz783b8).

The Biden regime authorized striking into Russian territory with long-range missiles—which can only be operated by U.S. personnel. Both U.S. ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles have attacked Russian targets. It is not clear how many were destroyed by Russian air defenses or how much damage was done, but it was likely unspectacular (https://tinyurl.com/y9t372rd).

Former Russian president and prime minister Dmitry Medvedev has declared that NATO and the U.S. are now at “full war” with Russia (https://tinyurl.com/3b23s7aj). On Nov 19, after the U.S. had authorized what Russia views as a major escalation, Putin signed a decree updating Russia’s nuclear doctrine. This stares that a nuclear strike could be justified in case of “aggression against Russia and its allies by any non-nuclear state…with the support of a nuclear state.” This would be “considered a joint attack by both countries on Russia.” Putin added that “a ‘critical threat to sovereignty’ posed by conventional non-nuclear weapons would also be seen as valid grounds for a nuclear response and that Russia reserved the right to use nuclear weapons in case of aggression against close ally Belarus” (https://tinyurl.com/2xnds3hd).

In retaliation for the NATO attack, Russia struck the Dnipro Yuzhmash aerospace manufacturing facility with a newly developed hypersonic Oreshnik (“Hazelnut tree”) intermediate range ballistic missile. Some accounts say the underground working part of the facility was turned into dust. This suggests that the Oreshnik submunitions crashed at hypersonic speed into the workshops and simply pulverized them. There was no particular need for high explosives to do the job (https://tinyurl.com/ssmzb593).

Putin claims that NATO has no means to stop such a missile and that the military is picking targets in Ukraine from a list of decision-making centers, industrial production sites, and military facilities. NATO has no analogues, and none will appear soon, he states. Russia has several more such missiles available now, and serial manufacturing has begun (https://tinyurl.com/3b9cnmsb).

The Oreshnik attack is not featured on news.google.com, and Western experts downplay its significance, according to a report on Reuters (tinyurl.com/e6swthsz). This said that the missile was no big deal, could be intercepted, and was possibly being used more for psychological effect. As Will Schryver states, “Reuters wants everyone to know…Putin is just talking tough to sow unfounded fear of Russian military might” (https://tinyurl.com/27pm72ue).

Despite the Oreshnik attack, the U.S. and its Ukrainian “orderlies” launched 13 more ATACMS missiles into Russia. The Russians claim to have shot down 10 of them and acknowledge the loss of an S-400 radar unit and its crew. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported today that five ATACMS launch vehicles were destroyed by a volley of Iskander missiles, and that additional Iskander strikes, directed against apparently known concentrations of US/NATO personnel in Ukraine, “neutralized” about 40 Americans and nine French personnel (https://tinyurl.com/4y58as9t).

Europe is taking the war threat far more seriously. An estimated 5.2 million copies of a crisis preparedness pamphlet are set to be delivered to Swedish households in the next two weeks, with the text available in multiple languages online. Citizens are advised to be ready with a stockpile of food and emergency supplies, including baby food, medicine, and hygiene products. There are diagrams of expedient shelters. Finland has also published its own online crisis preparedness brochure, warning that as of the last government survey in September, only 58% of Finns have adequate emergency supplies at home to ride out a crisis. Norway published its own printed pamphlets earlier this year on how citizens could manage by themselves for a week in the event of a national crisis, including war (https://tinyurl.com/5h7vrtm7). Germany is preparing to convert metro stations, offices, and public buildings into bomb shelters. The Federal Office for Civil Protection is identifying suitable structures and developing an app to guide the public to nearby shelters (https://tinyurl.com/n99a5y2s).

MIDDLE EAST FRONT

Shortly after Israel and Hezbollah announced a temporary ceasefire, Turkish-backed rebels launched a shock offensive against Syria that reached past the gates of Aleppo. Many factors may have contributed to re-bleeding in the “frozen” Syrian civil war (https://tinyurl.com/y6432u4u). According to Simplicius, Israel, having failed to defeat Hezbollah, has gone to Plan B, which is to eliminate Iran’s ability to resupply Hezbollah via Syria. To do that, Assad must fall. Showing Israel’s handprint on the attack, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) was hit with a major “exploding beeper and radio” attack, wounding many SAA servicemen—a perfect replay of the same attack on Hamas earlier. Russia has evidently sent reinforcements to Syria, weakening its efforts in Ukraine.

The incursion followed weeks of Israeli strikes into Syria itself, likely the preparatory forewarning in anticipation of this offensive.

Ukraine’s calling cards were also visible, Simplicius states, with the Syrian terrorists’ usage of FPV (first-person view) drones in the attacks, and their choice of yellow and blue head and arm bands. Ukrainian field commanders have been spotted among the militants. Ukraine, with the U.S., has been training members of the Hayat Tahir al-Sham  (HTS) terrorist group, and actively recruiting them to fight in Ukraine.

“It’s clear that the conflict is taking on a global proportion of interconnectivity, a true ‘world war’” (https://tinyurl.com/m3m9rtsy).

Is World War III already here?

World War III: Before January 20?

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving—without a nuclear attack.

The high threat level is not mentioned by Google News, but Germany is drawing up plans to use Metro stations as air-raid shelters, NATO has warned businesses to enter “wartime scenario,” and Sweden and Finland are distributing pamphlets on expedient shelter and the need to stockpile emergency supplies.

Former weapons inspector Scott Ritter has issued a dire warning that we are on the threshold of nuclear war.

As the graph below shows, the Russians are making steady advances in Ukraine. In response, NATO/Ukraine is attacking targets inside Russia.

The Biden Administration has authorized the use of long-range ATACMs, which cannot be launched by Ukraine without substantial U.S. assistance. British Storm Shadow missiles have also struck Russia. In retaliation, Russia attacked the Dnipro Yuzhmash aerospace manufacturing facility with a newly developed hypersonic Oreshnik intermediate range ballistic missile. Witness accounts say the underground working part of the facility was turned into dust. This suggests that the Oreshnik submunitions crashed at hypersonic speed into the workshops and simply pulverized them. There was no particular need for high explosives to do the job. NATO has no means to stop such a missile.

Putin has updated Russian nuclear doctrine. Triggers include some actions that the U.S./NATO has already taken or contemplated.

According to Tucker Carlson, the U.S. has approved the use of anti-personnel mines against Russian troops. Reportedly, U.S. officials have discussed giving nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

Could the out-going Administration use the lame-duck period before January 20 to commit the nation to war while it still has the power to do so?

Thinking about the possibility is the first step to preparedness.

Endocrine Disruptors

DDP Newsletter Vol. XL, No. 3

A current invisible scary threat, impossible for people to verify for themselves, is endocrine disruptors (EDs) lurking in the water. This topic first appeared in the National Library of Medicine PubMed data base in 1995, reached a maximum of 1,088 citations in 2019, and still occurs almost 1,000 times/y, dozens of times in association with plastics.

The term was coined at the 1991 Wingspread conference, a rebranding of the more benign term “endocrine modulators,” explains Steve Milloy (tinyurl.com/4ssdrfjj).

On Aug 23, 1994, the endocrine-disruptor scare was reported in the New York Times in an article titled “Pesticides May Leave Legacy of Hormonal Chaos.” Referring to some wildlife populations, Theo Colborn, the activist who convened the Wingspread conference, stated: “I’d say we are on a fast track to extinction…. You would expect the same thing to happen to human populations.” Colburn, a pharmacist, earned a Ph.D. in zoology at age 58 (ibid.).

World War III: Is There an Existential Crisis?

Are you or your children convinced that the world will soon end, and there’s no use preparing—or working, or planning for the future, or starting a family

Today, some 75% of young persons (age 16-25) in 10 countries report finding the future frightening because of climate change. The media is saturated with news about “climate change,” greatly exceeding coverage of other stories, as the graph shows.

There are scare stories that some humans are creating weather disasters as by steering hurricanes, and the prevailing narrative that human civilization is destroying the planet by burning hydrocarbon fuels. What to do? “VOTE” [for Kamala], says Bill Nye, “the Science Guy,” and for local authorities who are more quietly implementing “Net Zero” initiatives.) And prepare to give up your car, your freedom to travel, your large home and yard, etc.)

In fact, humans’ most powerful works are puny in comparison with the forces of nature that determine weather and climate (such as the sun and ocean currents). The energy in a hurricane is the equivalent of 10,000 nuclear bombs. If humans disappeared, the climate would keep changing.

Human-caused nuclear war, however, is a growing threat. Biological warfare has even greater potential to wipe out humanity. Some see artificial intelligence (AI) as an existential threat, at least in the future. At present, it is helping to keep control of the narratives. All of these threats (including the response to purported human-caused climate change, not the weather itself) could cause vast depopulation, and some say that is their purpose.

Preparedness is not futile. Communications, weather forecasting, a full gas tank, a go-kit, prudent stockpiling of supplies, knowledge of nuclear weapons effects, maintaining your health and immune system, and early treatment with repurposed drugs would greatly diminish casualties.

Faith, hope, and love remain a necessary foundation.

WHAT  IS  FEMA  DOING?

DDP Newsletter Vol. XL, No. 5

In the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina, many people were asking this question. Accusations first about absence and then about slow deployment and malfeasance are widely disseminated and officially denied. Also, sensationalist theories assert that the storm was man-made or steered for a nefarious purpose, such as to affect the election or to wipe out those who oppose lithium mining in this area. Counterintuitively, influencers who promote such allegations claim to belong to the political side that was always highly skeptical about “man-made climate change.”

What is the true situation?

Whatever it is, it is not new. During Hurricane Katrina, people asked the same question, and the passage of S.3721, the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (https://tinyurl.com/8jyctvar) seemingly made no difference.

FEMA operates like any other corrupted bureaucracy: response will be slow and encumbered with red tape. There will be conflicts with local and state authorities and volunteers. As one person who did public relations for the agency during disasters described it, “FEMA sends in the money truck.” An official photo from North Carolina shows a neat trailer with staff to help people fill out forms. So far, a relatively paltry $4 million has been paid directly to families and individuals in the week after Hurricane Helene, reports Larry Bell, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has warned that his $640.9 million FEMA storm relief budget is now just about tapped out for the rest of this season (https://tinyurl.com/9a4rrwtz).

“FEMA is broke,” said Prof. Peter St Onge, because of spending on other priorities such as Ukraine and migrants. Quoting America First Legal, he said that “Over the last 4 years the Biden-Harris admin has steadily transformed FEMA into an illegal alien resettlement agency” (https://tinyurl.com/y5pxyjw5). Critics of this interpretation claim that subsidies for immigrants come from a “different source” and that the GOP-led House is responsible for the agency’s funding shortfall (https://tinyurl.com/4a5tn8p3).

But where are relief supplies going, and who is rescuing people?

Elon Musk accused FEMA of “belligerent government incompetence.” He claimed that FEMA was “blockading the disaster area and preventing private helicopters from delivering Starlink terminals, which connect to satellite internet service, and other supplies…. @FEMA is both failing to help AND won’t let others help” (tinyurl.com/25thtp8z).

Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg said, “No one is shutting down the airspace and FAA doesn’t block legitimate rescue and recovery flights.” A FEMA spokesperson stated, “FEMA has helped provide Starlink terminals…. These units are supporting state and local municipalities, Urban Search and Rescue and disaster coordination” (ibid.).

[Musk noted that Starlink likely would have already been up and running in some of these areas if the Harris-Biden Federal Communications Commission hadn’t stopped a $885 million grant to SpaceX to provide broadband to rural communities in 2022. The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law set aside $42 billion to build broadband infrastructure in rural and underserved communities, but so far, zero connection have been made.]

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell called the “false” criticisms of the agency’s response “dangerous.” They could hinder FEMA’s recovery efforts. “It has a tremendous impact on the comfort level of our own employees to be able to go out there, but it’s also demoralizing to all of the first responders…FEMA staff, volunteers,” she told host George Stephanopoulos (https://tinyurl.com/mstnssvp).

One allegation is that FEMA refused to supply body bags and was planning to bulldoze an area without recovering the bodies. A responsive response would have been: “We did supply the body bags. All human remains will be treated with respect. Here is a source of information about efforts to identify them.” This has not been heard.

The task is enormous; volunteers are urgently needed. However, FEMA.gov urges you to “donate and volunteer responsibly.” You should register before volunteering. Unaffiliated volunteers who self-deploy might burden the community, FEMA warns.

As disaster response lags, FEMA’S new priorities, posted on its website, are: (1) Instill equity as a foundation of emergency management; (2) Lead whole of community in climate resilience; (3) Promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation.

Criswell said she made Equity her priority; then FEMA held Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training saying the U.S. is rooted in extreme violence, and “White Supremacy is in almost every institution” (https://tinyurl.com/yrfbrb8r). In a virtual meeting in March 2023, FEMA emergency management specialist Tyler Atkins said the agency was prioritizing LGBTQ people because they are “already disadvantaged.” LGBTQ victims should receive more support because they would have been “already struggling” before a natural disaster (https://tinyurl.com/39syehx7).

FEMA BACKGROUND

DDP was originally part of The American Civil Defense Association (TACDA). Our joint meetings generally featured a speaker from FEMA—when it still concerned itself with civil defense. In the Reagan Administration, under Gen. Julius Becton, FEMA revived nuclear war defense instead of being an “all hazards but one” agency. It supported the construction of five mobile NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) shelter displays, which appeared at DDP meetings and were taken by DDP to county and state fairs in many cities. The one made for FEMA deteriorated unused at the National Emergency Training Center until it was finally buried to use in fire-training exercises. FEMA required us to remove the medical kit as too dangerous for laypeople (the updated version can be downloaded from ddponline.org/medkit).The refurbished Arizona shelter appeared at the 2023 meeting and is now popular in Oregon at fairs and in parades. Today, the U.S. is largely do-it-yourself for all hazards as well as for civil defense.

FEMA was started by executive order in the Nixon Administration to assure the survivability of the United States government in the event of a nuclear attack on this nation. It was also assigned the task of being a federal coordinating body during times of domestic disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes.

Over the years, the scope of FEMA’s activities has expanded, as have its powers, through a series of executive orders. For example, E.O. 11921 of June 11, 1976, gives the federal government power over all “usable  water” (https://tinyurl.com/39wp43j3).

Only a small fraction of FEMA’s spending goes for helping U.S. disaster victims. Continuity of government—including elaborate bunkers for selected officials—is likely the highest priority. Some say that FEMA is the most powerful organization in the U.S.—or could be in case of a national crisis (real or imagined). Meanwhile, it is busily implementing the regime’s political and social priorities, as flood victims are abandoned.

World War III: Russian Nuclear Doctrine Revised

Have you wondered what the candidates for President think about Vladimir Putin’s statement to the UN Security Council?

“President Vladimir Putin warned the West on Wednesday that Russia could use nuclear weapons if it was struck with conventional missiles, and that Moscow would consider any assault on it supported by a nuclear power to be a joint attack,” according to a press release by Vladimir Soldatkin and Guy Faulconbridge.

This occurs in the context of Ukrainian demands for permission to use U.S. or NATO-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets deep within Russian territory.

“This will mean that NATO countries, the U.S. and European countries are at war with Russia,” Putin said. “And if this is so, then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be created for us.” Putin added that the Ukrainian army does not have the ability to program long-range missiles or the satellite data necessary for their targeting, relying on NATO military personnel for those tasks.

In his debate with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump said he wanted the Ukraine-Russia war to stop. In her address to the Democratic Party convention in August, Harris said that she “will stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies.”

 According to the TCN Morning Note of Sep 26, this is “our most dangerous moment since the Cuban missile crisis.” Tucker Carlson references a report about a House Oversight Committee investigation on whether the recent trip by Ukraine president Zelensky misused government funds to support the Harris campaign.

There is no mention of the nuclear war threat on Google News, which covers Hurricane Helene, the indictment of New York Mayor Eric Adams, Covid vaccine, and Diddy, continuing the policy of do-it-yourself nuclear war preparedness.

Climate Watch: Is CO2 Reaching a Crisis Level?

Are you worried about your carbon footprint?

“My Carbon” apps are under development. The World Economic Forum states: “Finally, it is significant that all stakeholders across the value chain come together and contribute towards achieving a net-zero future by leaving no one behind.”

Major medical journals urge physicians to consider the climate, as in choosing what kind of anesthesia to give you.

As shown in the graph, atmospheric CO2 is indeed approaching a red line.

In his film An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore acknowledged that CO2 levels have been much higher—ice cores provide indisputable evidence. He did not say where it came from before there were humans burning coal, oil, and natural gas, or why the extremely high levels did not cause the oceans to boil.

Greenpeace cofounder Patrick Moore explains where it went: into ocean sediments in the calcium carbonate shells of marine organisms that sank when the organism died: natural sequestration.

Detailed analysis of recent papers on atmospheric CO2 and temperature by Willis Eschenbach and others concludes: “For the past 66 million years, atmospheric CO2 can be understood as a neutral spectator molecule, right up through the present.”

Why then would we want, at great expense, to remove CO2 and get closer to the red line of death?

Climate Watch: Is Sea Level Rise Accelerating?

Even if you live inland yourself, a rise in sea level flooding New York or Florida would affect you. So how much should you worry?

NOAA makes some scary predictions in its U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit. Certainly, sea level has increased about 400 ft in the past 20,000 years as glaciers melted after the last Ice Age, as the graph shows, but the slow current rate is not accelerating. Since about 6,000 years ago, sea-level has risen at a consistently slow rate of 0.15 to 0.2 millimeters per year totaling around 1 meter of rise for the entire period.

Al Gore and Barack Obama, with their expensive beachfront property, do not seem to be worried.

Models predict an acceleration in sea-level rise, but so far measurements from tide gauges do not show it. In some local areas, the level is higher because of land subsidence, which has nothing to do with CO2 or climate change.

Current artificial intelligence (AI) systems constantly refer to satellite data or tide-gauge data that has been modified by satellite data in their efforts to prove human-caused acceleration even when you ask specifically about tide gauge data alone. In a lengthy conversation with Gemini, Jonathan Cohler eventually got the system to admit: “There is no acceleration apparent in any tide-gauge data.” Further, he asked: “Now, why did it take you so long to admit the simple fact?” Gemini responded: “I initially prioritized providing information aligned with scientific consensus rather than focusing on raw tide-gauge data.” Gemini also admitted that it had been programmed to lie and that it had been trained using heavily biased training data.

        Those who are using AI to do their research need to understand that the public-facing interface is pre-programmed to heavily favor the conclusions the developers want people to reach, especially on Covid, climate change, and other controversial subjects.  Here is some nonprogrammable evidence pertaining to sea-level rise:

Climate Watch: Are Temperatures Constantly Increasing?

I hope you are able to stay cool, without resorting to the limited “cooling centers” some towns like Tucson make available. It has been hot, but is it a record and an ominous trend?

We might dismiss the high temperatures in the 1930s as mere anomalous “weather,” but are we now in a climate warming trend?            

According to this graph from the 1975 National Academy of Sciences, the 1930s were at the peak of a warming trend that began around 1890, before the great increase in burning fuels like coal, and began to decrease as fuel use increased.

Alternating this graph with one prepared by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration             (NOAA) by manipulating the data, one can see the effect of erasing the Northern Hemispheric warmth from 1890 to the mid-1950s and reducing the warmth of 1938 by nearly half a degree Celsius. Climategate emails show that erasure of the prior warmth was a coordinated effort to “hide the decline.”

 Politicians’ proposals to “address” the climate threat are based on this data.
