I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100.
Our paper on that is out today.🧵

Most-viewed Guardian articles last night. Editors shouldn’t think that the public doesn’t want to know more about climate change.
Or about ocean science 🌊!

The bank of the Seine in Paris used to be space for cars. Now for several years it’s been a special place for people in a city making more & more of them. All it took was leadership. Oh, and fighting and winning a court battle when that leadership was challenged. HT @emmanuelspv.bsky.social for pic.

Quand R. Dati dit vouloir remettre les voitures sur les quais, c'est clair mais c'est tout sauf "moderne". Et à Renaissance, on n'aime pas paraître ringard. C'est d'ailleurs en mentionnant ce point que C. Beaune dit vouloir une candidature Renaissance face à R. Dati !

Less traffic (6 million fewer cars in first 100 days)

More people (1.5m more visitors to BIDs, Broadway tickets up)

Those who must drive get there in ½ the time (48% faster through Holland tunnel, 65% fewer rush hour delays)

And yes, honking down 70%!

How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very.

It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!
