Canalising rivers has been an epic, historic and expensive mistake.
Yet, in Ireland, we continue these historic colonist practices from the late 18th and 19th centuries under the guise of flood protection at a cost of billions of €.
This is from The Book of Wilding.
Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.
1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.
In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.
Most people have no idea. 🧵

We have only this to protect. Start now by electing humans who will protect our fragile environment
Battery technology is developing all the time, both in terms of safety and energy density, opening up more applications.
The savings in cars are significant. 3c per km vs 20c for ICE

He's also too stupid to be secretary of the fence.
The #AMOC by 2100 will thus be so weak (~8 Sv) that it is very likely on the way to full shutdown, as our study last year showed: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
In my view, this now makes a full #AMOC shutdown more likely than not. Definitely not a low likelihood risk, as we used to think.
China bans exports of sulphur, a key mineral in the production of sulphuric acid, solar panels, metal production and fertilisers.
We ain't seen nothing yet.

“We use 40 yrs of global data to demonstrate that TCs experiencing Rapid Intensification during Marine Heat Waves resulted in 60% more billion-dollar disasters… produced consistently higher maximum wind speeds, storm surges, and precipitation rates.” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
They would still be supporting genocide in the middle east.

That includes not building more inefficient fossil fuel infrastructure like motorways.
We had that with the GP in government the last time.
Seems that people don't want change and everything to keep going the same way.
So, we'll keep making the same mistakes and lurch from crisis to crisis.
They put plenty of ahit into our rivers, but very little food on our tables.
That mostly comes from abroad, since MM allowed below cost selling of vegetables especially.
You're not free, and you don't represent freedom.
That has been made patently clear over the last 3 years especially.
Climate justice is gender justice.
Climate justice is racial justice.
Climate justice is economic justice.
Climate justice is environmental justice.

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation.
