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.

As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers; slashed billions in funding from the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest sponsor of medical research; and threatened to oust the panel of medical experts charged with recommending preventive cancer screenings. Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission. Early in my illness, when I

The horse-trade framing here is *unconscionable*, @karlmathiesen.bsky.social.

As the world starts to boil over 1.5C, the COP30 silence on fossil fuels does not mean a "disappointment for European countries and small island nations."

IT MEANS THE COPs ARE FAILING TO HALT GLOBAL HEATING, FFS.
Climate summit proposal dodges call to accelerate away from fossil fuels 11/22/2025 07:36 AM EST BELÉM, Brazil - A final, yet-to-be-agreed-on text for the U.N. climate summit would call on nations to take marginal steps toward combating climate change - but fails to substantially commit to new efforts to ditch the fossil fuels that cause it, according to a copy of the text seen by POLITICO. Such an outcome would be a disappointment for European countries and low-lying Pacific island nations that had urged the COP30 talks to end with a call for accelerating the world's transition away from coal, oil and natural gas. The deal could win approval at a session scheduled for Saturday morning. The draft text, confirmed by one person close to the talks, did salvage a passing reference to a 2023 agreement to transition away from fossil fuels — while not mentioning the fuels themselves. Oil-rich Arab countries had fought to exorcise that deal from the record of climate talks.

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.
The worrying rise of US anti-abortion rhetoric is in full force - how deep is Reform UK's involvement?
Money is pouring into anti-abortion campaigns in Britain, and it seems Nigel Farage’s party isn’t pushing back…
