Shift in the Gulf Stream could signal ocean current collapse Models show that as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation gets weaker, the Gulf Stream will drift northwards. There are signs that this is already happening, and a more abrupt shift could wa...

The insidious reality of what data transfers to the US actually means, and why the equivalency decision has been a complete sham this entire time. Our rights need better regulation and enforcement, not deregulation. Support orgs like @noyb.eu and EDRi.org to help the fight against big tech.

The latest data from CERES shows the 12-month running average for the Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) spiking back up, now at 12.01 Hiroshimas per Second (Hps).

That's over 1 million Hiroshimas per day in planetary heating.

Britain’s relentless rain shows climate predictions playing out as expected After an exceptionally wet start to 2026, two climate scientists explain what’s going on.

Your 'moment of doom' for Feb. 14, 2026 ~ For the rain it raineth every day.

"Warmer air can hold more moisture – about 7% more for every 1°C of warming. This means that when it rains, on average it rains harder. Bigger, heavier downpours become more common."

"Without action to draw down atmospheric carbon, the climate system will likely move into an era of accelerated warming that may be impossible to halt. Overshoot will be permanent."
