Nordic overturning increases as AMOC weakens in response to global warming Abstract. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening in response to global warming, while the Nordic Seas Overturning Circulation (NOC) is projected to strengthen. So far, the...

Breaking: our new study just published shows that a stable or strengthening ocean current into the Nordic Seas is not a sign of a stable Atlantic overturning #AMOC. On the contrary, it is a physically expected result of an AMOC weakening. 🌊

While Trump lashes out at Spain, US Democrats join a progressive rally in Barcelona Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has hosted two events in Barcelona to rally progressive leaders from around the world who fear for a rules-based world order.

“Their embrace of climate change denial, of xenophobia, or sexism is their greatest error...They have tried again and again to make us embarrassed of our beliefs. That ends now. From now on they can be the ones who feel ashamed." - Pedro Sánchez

Virginia to legalize 'balcony solar' as more states advance legislation: 'Removes all kinds of barriers' Virginia is changing the game with new laws allowing plug-and-play solar panels, making clean energy accessible to more residents.

This is a trend that should be legalized in every state and country. Balcony solar allows renters and others who could otherwise not benefit from reduced utility bills to tap into the power of solar. Is it legal in your region? www.thecooldown.com/green-home/v...

What to Know About the Cicada SARS-CoV-2 Variant This JAMA Medical News article discusses the unusual trajectory of BA.3.2, the most recent version of SARS-CoV-2 to be designated a Variant Under Monitoring by the World Health Organization.

Everything known about the hyper-mutated BA.3.2 variant ("Cicada") of #SARSCoV2. While there's no cause for alarm, continued genome surveillance of this virus is essential.

This black-and-white studio portrait photograph captures Rosalind Elsie Franklin, the brilliant British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose meticulous research produced Photograph 51—the iconic X-ray diffraction image that revealed DNA’s double-helix structure and proved pivotal to the 1953 Watson-Crick model of the molecule. Shown in a close-up, three-quarter view from the shoulders up, Franklin appears in her late twenties or early thirties, her dark, wavy hair neatly styled and swept back from her face. She wears a simple, dark collared blouse or shirt with a crisp, professional appearance that reflects the understated elegance typical of mid-20th-century scientific women. Her expression is calm and intensely focused: direct gaze slightly off-camera to the viewer’s left, lips gently closed in a subtle, knowing half-smile, conveying quiet confidence, intellectual depth, and quiet determination. The plain, softly lit studio background with its neutral gradient emphasizes her face and upper torso, creating an intimate, timeless composition that places her poised presence at the absolute center.

Chemist & X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin's meticulous research was instrumental in uncovering DNA's molecular structure.

Most famous for her role in the DNA double helix discovery, her work also revolutionized our understanding of viruses & coal. Died #OTD in 1958, age 37. #WomenInSTEM

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Ha, pas de surprise...Il est sur le bon chemin pour perdre.

New tech allows solar panels to make electricity even from raindrops Researchers in Spain have devised a hybrid device that can generate energy using sunlight as well as raindrops.

Solar panels in the rain? No problem.

Breaking: New study using observational constraints projects that the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC will weaken ~50% by 2100, even for medium emissions and without Greenland melting. 🌊
More realistic models means stronger weakening - not entirely unexpected.

We’re living in a moment of stark contrasts: awe-inspiring reminders of our place in the universe, alongside urgent warnings about the state of our planet and everyone who inhabits it. Here are a few of the stories that stood out to me this week.

Exposing a global ‘online rape academy’ that is teaching men how to abuse women and evade detection CNN exposes an online network of men encouraging each other to drug and assault their partners, and swap tips on how to get away with it.

We live in a world where the same tools meant to connect us are being used to build monsters' misogynistic and predatory networks for treating women as sexual slaves to their psychopathic behaviors. 🤮

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each March from 1850 through 2026. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in March 2026 was 1.31°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. A map of temperature anomalies in March 2026 is also shown. Red shading is for warmer than average temperatures, and blue shading is shown for colder than average temperatures. The climatological baseline on the map is relative to 1991 to 2020. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.1.0 on this graphic.

Last month was statistically tied for the 2nd warmest March on record globally. It was also the 3rd warmest March for global land areas. Overall, about 7.1% of Earth’s surface recorded its warmest March on record.

Meridionally consistent decline in the observed western boundary contribution to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Western boundary observations in the Atlantic suggest a meridionally consistent decline in the ocean overturning circulation.

New study finds the "canary in the coal mine" for the #AMOC: a consistent decline of the western overturning circulation, down from 20 to 15 Sv during 2004-2023 at 26° N. 🌊
AMOC "could be at or near a critical tipping point, potentially leading to its collapse".

I think it may be a first, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Trump is the first President of the United States who is mentally ill.
