That's an under-appreciated impact of #AMOC shutdown, of particular concern given the recent results showing much higher likelihood of this. 1/2

a gentle reminder that wind farms are the best
Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers.

If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers.

INCLUDING DRIVERS.

The “war on cars” has always been a lie.

Alberta, and Canada, need to prepare for a world in which low-carbon technology wins, if only because it's already winning in so many different markets and use cases.

Pretending we can arrest or reverse that is the height of hubris — and it will cost us more dearly than most other countries.

And of course there’s the extra sea-level rise, by half a meter or more. bsky.app/profile/rahm...
It further shows a similar sea-level rise pattern after #AMOC shutdown as we found in Levermann et al. 2005, with the dynamic rise extending down into the South Atlantic. (That would be added to any global rise caused by climate warming.) 🧵

Despite "vibe" reporting to the contrary, EV sales are growing at +8%. The *global* share of internal combustion vehicles continues to decline, replaced by hybrids, plug-in hybrids & BEVs. Car makers betting otherwise are selling buggy whips. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 electrek.co/2025/11/12/e...
EV sales *still* have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Media is lying to you.
After two years of headlines begging for failure, EV sales keep defying false media narratives that they are dropping, and continue to rise.
