A sub-field of science looks at whether the Atlantic ocean circulation #AMOC has weakened. Direct measurements suggest yes but only started in 2004. So people look at temperature and salinity data.
A new study finds a robust slowdown fingerprint at 1000–2000 m depth.

Fri 21 Nov: week 26 protesting the @albomp.bsky.social gov's approval of WoodCIDE's North West Shelf Extension carbon 💣

Australia signed the #BelemDeclaration on fossil fuel phase-out at #COP30 & within 24 hrs Albo confirmed Australia would keep developing fossil fuel projects
Protestors including the rousing Climate Choir at Josh Burns' St Kilda office. They're handing out flyers, speaking with passers-by & sending Josh an unmistakable message Across the road from Josh Burns office protestors hold up a bright yellow banner that says NO NEW COAL & GAS

The @greens.org.au have secured a restriction on #PayToDestroy on “protected matters” that'll be "determined by the Minister at a future date, with the advice of the Threatened Species Scientific Committee"

But make no mistake #PayToDestroy has failed in NSW & QLD & will worsen biodiversity loss
Introducing ‘payments to destroy’ under national nature laws – lessons ignored from the NSW scheme
Everyone agrees the current laws are failing, but that doesn’t mean any change is an improvement. When it comes to offsets, it’s clear things are going to get worse not better.

Budgets are about priorities. The idea is to tax things you want less of & subsidise things you want more of

In Australia we spend $14 billion per year on fossil fuel subsidies & we are cutting science jobs at CSIRO…

As i said, budgets are about priorities #climate

thepoint.com.au/news/251127-...
If the Government's top priority is productivity, slashing the CSIRO budget does not make sense
Research and development is one of the major drivers of productivity and the CSIRO has a long track record of making productivity enhancing breakthroughs.

The iconic Jon Kudelka (multi-award winning Australian/Tasmanian cartoonist) 'Rusted-on Bingo' card that encapsulates the mentalities and retorts trotted out by rusted-on (diehard) Labor voters in response to criticism of their beloved party's policies and actions There's a red border decorating with snakes drawn in white and there're 5 x 5 squares A1: we've checked and better things aren't possible A2: we tried having a policy once and people didn't like it A3: preferential voting is a myth A4: tree tories! but at the same time the left wing A5: REAL AUSTRALIANS B1: the slightest criticism of labor will result in eternal tory rule and you love it B2: gas is somehow not a fossil fuel B3: the media! B4: running a candidate against a Labor incumbent is anti-democratic B5: you do not understand the real world (student politics) C1: the best way to oppose bad legislation is to vote for it C2: don't let the bare minimum be the enemy of the grossly inadequate C3: the Greens didn't vote for the CPRS in 2009 C4: if you think it's so terrible you should join (?) C5: we are lying and will actually do the opposite if we win D1: sure goal is bad, but it's also...good? D2: WEDGE! D3: we may be terrible but look at the alternative D4: the ETS apparently never happened D5: Bob Brown went to Queensland E1: only the impotent are pure! we're simply ineffectual E2: voters are very stupid E3: the Centre! way over here on the right E4: it's vital to avoid upsetting people who will never vote for us E5: we accept the science that fossil fuels dug up here but burned overseas don't count because what a shame i ran out of space At the bottom of the card: Bonus Round 1: repeats irrelevant question (meat tray) Bonus Round 2: petty ad hominem attack (game over)

they are destroying US climate science on purpose, and it hurts my heart. but take it from an MIT-trained nerdass:

stop burning stuff for heat
