🥶 What is AMOC? SIMPLE explained by OG Fortnite Ice King Event
Fortnite's Ice King freezes the map for 10 days & everyone panics. 🥶 But what if I told you the REAL Ice King is AMOC? If it collapses, Europe drops 5°C in years. Little Ice Age lasted 250 YEARS. No "event ending" screen. What's YOUR strat? 🤯🧊
This valentine's day, take a moment to read how they are destroying a wetland, an important site for migratory birds from Europe every winter, for $65m a year. "An exclusive investigation reveals how flower farms in Uganda’s protected wetlands are shipping millions of stems to Europe— ending up in ALDI aisles and the vases of the Dutch royal family."
I think by now we can agree that whatever the Trump's administration does it's going to be a catastrophe.
So I'm not saying you shouldn't keep informed but honestly, at this level of authoritarianism, you can skip "Trump's stuff" on focus on all the available ways to get rim of him and his cronies.
The study published last year found that soils under mature pine forests had about half as much carbon as nearby soils that stayed as grassland, and that the carbon lost from the soil was equal to around a third of the carbon that the trees had absorbed from the atmosphere
"China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fell by 1% in the final quarter of 2025, likely securing a decline of 0.3% for the full year as a whole.
This extends a “flat or falling” trend in China’s CO2 emissions that began in March 2024 and has now lasted for nearly two years.
The new analysis for Carbon Brief shows that, in 2025, emissions from fossil fuels increased by an estimated 0.1%, but this was more than offset by a 7% decline in CO2 from cement.
Other key findings include:
CO2 emissions fell year-on-year in almost all major sectors in 2025, including transport (3%), power (1.5%) and building materials (7%).
The key exception was the chemicals industry, where emissions grew 12%.
Solar power output increased by 43% year-on-year, wind by 14% and nuclear 8%, helping push down coal generation by 1.9%.
Energy storage capacity grew by a record 75 gigawatts (GW), well ahead of the rise in peak demand of 55GW.
This means that growth in energy storage capacity and clean-power output topped the increases in peak and total electricity demand, respectively.
The CO2 numbers imply that China’s carbon intensity – its fossil-fuel emissions per unit of GDP – fell by 4.7% in 2025 and by 12% during 2020-25.
This is well short of the 18% target set for that period by the 14th five-year plan.
Moreover, China would now need to cut its carbon intensity by around 23% over the next five years in order to meet one of its key climate commitments under the Paris Agreement."
WASHINGTON - The administration of President Donald Trump on Thursday announced the repeal of a scientific finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health, removing the legal basis for federal climate regulations.
It also ended subsequent federal greenhouse gas emission standards for all vehicles and engines of model years 2012 to 2027.
Other than tattooing “We Are A Death Cult” on their foreheads, I don’t see any other way for Trump and the Republican deplorables to make that more clear.
Very disturbing set of news.. 1) point-of-no-return climate warming getting closer, and 2) it is a scientific fact that scientific warnings don't work anymore (if they have ever) (the second link in this thread)Very disturbing set of news.. 1) point-of-no-return climate warming getting closer, and 2) it is a scientific fact that scientific warnings don't work anymore (if they have ever) (the second link in this thread)
It's hard to imagine how dumb supposedly intelligent people can be. How much is it costing to deal with floods, now and in the future + heatwaves + droughts?
