AMOC increases risk of flooding on the SE-US coast-NOAA/AOML A new study found that AMOC induced changes in ocean heat content are influencing the frequency of floods along the U.S. southeastern coast.

World faces food ‘catastrophe’ if Strait of Hormuz disruption persists: FAO Global agriculture is highly exposed to the blockage of waterways, risking higher commodity prices and food inflation.

‘Petro-masculinity’ is destroying the planet — Can ecomasculinity save it? “Petro-masculinity” describes a pernicious fusion between fossil fuel use, climate change denial, and defense of authoritarian white patriarchal masculinity.

Great piece from my friend and long-time creative action trickster Andrew Boyd on making the connections between patriarchy, fossil fuels and the destruction of the living world. #EarthDay 🌍

New podcast episode. Ed Matthew (@e3g.org) joins @nickbreeze.genn.cc  to explain why North Sea drilling is a myth dressed up as energy policy + why the £183 billion cost of the last fossil fuel crisis should be the only number that matters in this debate.

What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here.
But the solutions exist.

Communities are watching the People’s Emergency Briefing and discussing what to do next with neighbours and MPs

Britain’s Solar Revolution Is Here and We Should Be Shouting It From the Rooftops Ed Miliband is helping to turn the country into a nation of 'solar zealots' and Josiah Mortimer is enthusiastically along for the ride

🔴 Britain’s Solar Revolution Is Here and We Should Be Shouting It From the Rooftops

Ed Miliband is helping to turn the country into a nation of ‘solar zealots’ and I'm enthusiastically along for the ride. Thankfully I'm not alone.

This is the most important thing you will read today – and probably the whole year, honestly.

We cannot let the AMOC collapse. For one thing it will make Iceland uninhabitable, and I would really like my children and grandchildren not to become refugees. But the effects will be almost everywhere.

An important intervention from Casey A. Williams in the debate over how war is reshaping decarbonization.

Against the "passive optimism" of those see the war's impact on global energy as proof of the inevitable advance of renewables, Williams makes the case for a far more purposeful politics.

New by the chair of the Fossil Fuel Treaty @tzeporah.bsky.social via my desk at @mongabay.com today

“The end of fossil fuels is no longer a distant goal; it is an unfolding reality. The task now is to govern it,” she argues ahead of meetings hosted by Colombia & the Netherlands in a couple days:

"What Europe needs is not yet another scramble for new sources of fossil fuel imports, but a fundamental shift away from the demand that makes these shocks so damaging in the first place."

NEW RESEARCH: Up to 90% of industrial energy demand could be electrified with existing & emerging tech.

Under high-ambition policy, 51% by 2050 is achievable. 84% under the most enabling assumptions.

The technologies exist. The constraint is policy.

2/ It's called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the #AMOC.

Warm, salty water flows north at the surface, cools, sinks, and returns south at depth.

But add enough freshwater from melting ice and rising rainfall, and that engine stalls. It's happened before.
