Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Over the next few days, you are going to see me reshare it every time an influential climate scientist points out that no, the southern ocean's overturning current hasn't reversed.
The reviewed article did not even come close to supporting what was in the media release everyone shared.

Please be careful here. Yes, it reports another piece of the climate change picture--see below. But it's not the "catastrophic" development the journalist makes it out to be (based on quoting a notorious social media climate doomer with no scientific credentials).

4 yrs ago today, I witnessed a volcanic eruption for the first time, close enough to feel the intense warmth of the Earth's creation on my skin. It literally changed my life. I may spend the rest of my life seeking an experience as powerful as this and never find it, and that's okay.

Oceans are now storing 90% of the excess heat from global warming. This has led to a mass coral bleaching event starting in 2023 that has impacted almost 84% of the world's reefs.
