Forget the AMOC Collapse: an ‘SPG Collapse’ Is Much More Imminent A collapse of the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre (SPG) - a smaller but crucial sub-component of the AMOC - could happen as soon as the 2040s

Given the existential threat to the UK of an AMOC collapse and (sooner) the Subpolar Gyre (SPG) - a reader commented: "what is the UK Gov doing to prepare?" According to Hansard, AMOC has only ever been mentioned 3 times, in one Lords debate in 2024. And the SPG? Not once.

Solid-state EV batteries are rolling out in China, promising nearly 1,000 miles of range Chinese battery manufacturers already account for well over 50% of the global market, but new battery types, including solid-state, are...

Nederland gaat - het moet nog door de Eerste Kamer - ook elektriciteit geleverd via thuislaadpunten mee laten tellen.

Nóg slimmer en hopelijk in een volgende beleidsupdate, is mee laten tellen wanneer en met welke stroom daadwerkelijk geladen is (👇wat ik hierover vorig jaar schreef)

Multiple studies conclude that total cost of ownership of EVs is less than for fossil fuel cars due mostly to lower fuel and maintenance costs. See the details in the thread below. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

‘We’re all worried’: Former winter Olympian on climate change versus snow John Aalberg, now a ski events consultant, has witnessed global warming’s impact on winter sports

"The headaches that come with significantly altering things just to cope with climate change reveal what reengineering really means. It’s not easy, it’s not without its own risks – but, in so many areas of life, it seems increasingly unavoidable."

Good luck to all the Birkebeiner racers this weekend! The largest cross-country ski race in North America kicks off tomorrow in Wisconsin. Not the Olympics, but still epic - 50K+ of grit and pure winter joy. At risk bc of climate change (this year’s route is altered). #Birkiefever

As more people fall for the draw of snow-covered landscapes and independent lines, climate change chips away at the very winters that make this lifestyle possible.

Welcome to Solar Spring! ☀️
Solar winter, which is the darkest 3 month period of the year is now behind us! Our sun angle is now up to ~30° above the horizon and climbing quickly.
Right now our daylength is about 10 hours and we are gaining about 2 minutes and 40 seconds of light per day!

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Over 100 million lakes dot the planet, holding most of the world’s surface freshwater. But many are drying, flooding, turning green or vanishing.

UN report declares global state of 'water bankruptcy' The world is entering an era of "global water bankruptcy" with rivers, lakes and aquifers depleting faster than nature can replenish them, a United Nations research institute said on Tuesday.

"water bankruptcy" is a new to me phrase. Can a river file for state protections to prevent development that is net negative in water usage?

The idea of a feminized society is driving me nuts.

Beyond the military; nearly every institution in our country was designed & implemented by men, any input by women was ignored or absorbed without credit.

Everything that women are allowed in this country is diluted & passed off as a mere copy.

In the years Canada was in Afghanistan, my colleagues and I repeatedly had to profile soldiers who died there.

Here are some that I wrote or co-wrote.

Canada sent so many dedicated young people into the hellfire of Kandahar to help the United States.
Now they ridicule us.
JD Vance says he is tired of our "sob stories".
Trump says they never needed us.
Never again, America, Never again.

In addition to being bad, this is all pretty stupid.
