Atlantic current shows two-decade decline across four deep-ocean monitoring sites A paper published in the journal Science Advances is adding to the growing body of research showing that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening. In this new study, instead of relying mainly on computer models, scientists used two decades of direct ocean measurements to confirm the decline.

Atlantic Ocean sensors confirm a consistent two-decade decline in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Data from four mooring arrays across the western boundary verify a weakening transport signal below 1,000 meters, validating concerns of long-term circulation shifts.

Located in a Hazel wood at the base of a cliff in the Burren near Kilheela is Saint Colman MacDuagh’s Hermitage, holy well and cave.
Saint Colman (560 - 632) is one of Ireland’s early saints, an annual pilgrimage to his hermitage on the 21st of October.
His crozier is now in the National Museum.

Yellowhammer spotted at North West Leicestershire — Under the Hedge A Yellowhammer was spotted at North West Leicestershire on 15 April 2026. Logged on Under the Hedge.

A splash of sunshine in the Leicestershire hedgerows! ☀️ We’re loving this brilliant capture of a Yellowhammer. These stunning birds are such a treat to spot while out walking. Have you seen any returning spring migrant... www.underthehedge.com/encounters/f1d964df-04e1...

Nevada Let 5 Beavers Walk Into a Dead Desert — What They Did With Mud and Sticks Was Unbelievable YouTube video by Daily Discoveries

“Just like rewilding canals with beavers brings life back to dead waterways, we need to rewild our deserts with small farmers — people who build soil, culture, and resilience instead of leaving everything to a single industrial monoculture.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvrA...

Another example of the “good chaps theory” of biodiversity conservation: we “hope” that those responsible will do the sensible thing, while relying on weak laws.

We need to talk about our protected areas folk or we won’t have mucj more to protect. 🤨

There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!

Every spring/summer on our mountain commonage, wild native tree seedlings like this rowan pop up, the seed carried by birds or wind. The baby trees always soon disappear, eaten by sheep.

Trees mostly don't need to be planted, just given a chance to grow.

Wow missed this.

Basket of picked green beans in the middle of the field for workers are harvesting

"Adan" shared this photo from the Coachella CA where hes picking green beans. "I get paid 40 cents per pound. The work is exhausting - especially due to the excessive heat in the area. But this is how I support my family." #WeFeedYou

An ostrich with its head in the sand

WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF FOOD.

The day the UK govt was supposed to release a report warning of catastrophic food collapse, it also published data showing England had just had its second-worst harvest on record.

So they cancelled the report's launch, calling it "too negative".

this was great fun, and also Peter's - frightening! Terrifying! - book is also extremely funny and readable

Two Irish hares on grass. The female is pregnant. Both are looking to the right. Lont rushes, grass, daisies, and dandelions can be seen. Text reads 'www. Kathryn M Crowley .com'.

The hares are thriving this year. Here's a blog post: kathrynmcrowley.com/2026/04/18/a...

🌊 SCIENTISTS FOUND A NEW BRANCH OF LIFE IN THE DEEP SEA

Researchers discovered 24 new species in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone — including a lifeform so genetically distinct it's an entirely new branch on the tree of life.

5,000m down. This week.
