Pre-COP29: Global leaders meet in Baku to tackle climate change and scale up finance solutions

WE ARE NOT ON THE BRINK OF ANYTHING. The same alteration to the Sub Saharan climate which promoted the growth of the desert is that which also reduces the cloud mass of the equitorial Atlantic. This affecting how much solar energy aka heat is absorbed and transported by ocean currents polewards. The same region of the Atlantic subject to the Sub Saharan dominent weather system, African Easterly Waves (AEWs), is from where hurricanes germinate. The trade winds and Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) ensures these African and Atlantic conditions carry westward into the Pacific and Indian Ocean arenas. So why did it all change? How can one event send ripples round the planet which can affect virtually everything? Look to Viste and Sorteberg 2013 - Moisture Import to the Ethiopian Highlands: there the keremt storms form, which evolve westwards into the massive AEW system. Yet humans have interfeared with one of the atmospheric rivers which create these atmospheric distrubences which form the first domino in a global chain reaction. The 4,000 m3/s of moisture evaporated from the pre 1900 July to October lower Nile flood is the missing link in this so called climate crisis........ just by replacing this one component we can reestablish the equitorial solar reflective cloud mass, which can allow us to not just to rebalence the planet's solar heat budget, but that we can with relative ease control much of the global meteorological systems......... No tipping point - just plain and simple meteorology.

Greta Thunberg scorns Azerbaijan host as “authoritarian petro-state”. She Joined the Climate Protest in Georgia's Tbilisi as the COP29 Climate Summit kicked off in Baku.
