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.

Ukrainians should be worried about the latest Trump-Russia shenanigans. Most likely for multiple reasons, all bad, a battlefield- and economically-weakened Putin is being allowed to negotiate as if from a position of strength. This US diplomatic aberration needs to be countered by European leaders.

Gabbard, Patel and Hegseth - “the unholy trinity of utterly unqualified nominees, people put up for their jobs primarily because Trump and his advisers knew that they would be completely pliant and obsequious…and that Senate Republicans would have to bend their collective knee by confirming them.”
Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard are turning America’s spy apparatus on its own employees, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

The list of names on the review of climate science presented to the US energy secretary reads like a who's who of paid lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry. Because it is.

Why do heatwaves matter?
Heatwaves are prolonged periods of excessively hot weather, often accompanied by high humidity, that significantly impact human health, ecosystems and infrastructure.
In Europe, they have become more frequent, hotter and long-lasting since 2000.
