Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds
Scientists say βshockingβ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout
More bad news on AMOC: "I used to say that the chance of Amoc collapsing as a result of global warming was less than 10%β, said Prof @rahmstorf.bsky.social βNow even in a low-emission scenario, sticking to the Paris agreement, it looks like more like 25%."

Social Movements Are Physically Reclaiming Spaces to Replace the State
More than a way of protest, social movements are occupying spaces to challenge authority and fight against oppression.
"The more people are excluded from effective participation in traditional politics, ......, the more it makes sense to pursue tactics like creating counteroccupations which aim to replace the state."

Who is doing counter-recruitment organizing for ICE? As the economy worsens, those jobs and the loan forgiveness offer will become more attractive to unpoliticized individuals. There needs to be a clear social cost for even considering joining those ranks.

Disabled people are not your enemy.
Immigrants are not your enemy.
Trans people are not your enemy.
We are scapegoats to make people believe they can have a better life at our expense.
A better life is possible if you tax the wealthy. If the billionaire class is abolished.
If we are cared for.

Insects are dying: here are 25 easy and effective ways you can help protect them
From turning out the lights to letting leaves rot, these small steps can create big changes at home or in the wild
Relevant to everyone. Insect populations are collapsing globally. As the article says, it represents half the web of life.
The message is a simple one. Humans are not the most important species in the food web. We are not. We just think we are

Germany is pioneering agrivoltaics (also called agrophotovoltaics), a system where solar panels are installed above farmland, allowing crops to be cultivated below while simultaneously producing renewable energy.
This dual-use model is especially advanced at Fraunhofer ISE in collaboration with VOEN
VΓΆhringer GmbH.
One notable pilot site is in Fronreute, where cherry orchards have been equipped with lightweight, elevated solar panels. These panels:
Produce up to 420 kW per hectare,
Shield crops from heat, UV rays, hail, and rain, reducing damage,
Create a cooler, regulated microclimate, which often improves crop quality and lowers irrigation needs,
Rely on existing greenhouse infrastructure, cutting construction costs and emissions.
Smart software is also used to optimize energy production without reducing crop yields. Early data shows that yields are largely unaffected or even improved in some cases.
This approach is gaining momentum across Europe and Asia, with Germany and Japan leading the field. The dual harvest system represents a major stride in sustainable agriculture and decentralized energy generation

In Germany, Solar Panels Over Farms Grow Crops and Generate Power Simultaneously - A Method Known as Dual Harvest.
