The Atlantic's chilling secret: A century of data reveals ocean current collapse A century-old mystery of a stubborn cold patch in the North Atlantic is finally being unraveled. A new study links this anomaly to a long-term weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulat...

A study confirms what we have long argued: the spectacular Atlantic 'cold blob' is the result of a slowing of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC, which transports warm waters into that region. That's the only part of Earth that resisted #globalwarming. 🌊

Millionaire exodus did not occur, study reveals - Tax Justice Network The number of millionaires widely reported in the news to be leaving countries in "exodus" represented near-0% of all millionaires.

Difficult to imagine why media companies owned by multi millionaires and billionaires have been so keen to promote false stories about wealth taxes.

Let's stop this nonsense.

Tax the rich.

Tune out the blah blah. This right here is why the climate crisis continues unabated and why we will cross 2ΒΊC

Emissions MUST fall by 5.5% THIS year and EVERY year thereafter until 2030 if we are to stand a remote chance of staying below 2ΒΊC - there is ABSOLUTELY no sign of this level of reduction.

US climate scientists need all the help they can get. Including from foul-mouthed comedians! 🀑😱😱

Watch Emmy Award-Winning David Cross team up with Prof Michael Oppenheimer in the US launch of the hit series "Climate Science Translated".

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source.

In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripledβ€”from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up.

The inherent dichotomy between early climate action being most beneficial for society as a whole and the short-term incentive structures of fossil fuel (& adjacent) companies was, and still is, our downfall.

100 years from now people will be baffled.

Graphic showing how vehicle front design affects pedestrian deaths.

Graphic showing how vehicle front design affects pedestrian deaths.

β€œVehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians. Vehicles with especially tall front ends are most dangerous to pedestrians, but a blunt profile makes medium-height vehicles deadly too.”

Deadly by design. And they know it.
