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.
Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought
- Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.

Antonio Tajani & @Antonio_Tajani •32mS S... • Translated from Italian Show original I wish to express my heartfelt solidarity to the Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, and to the Custodian of the Holy Land, Father Francesco lelpo, It is unacceptable that they were prevented from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. For the first time, the Israeli police denied the leaders of the Catholic Church the possibility of celebrating Palm Sunday Mass in one of the holiest places for millions of believers around the world. I have given immediate instructions to our Ambassador in Israel to convey to the authorities in Tel Aviv the protest of the government and to confirm Italy's position in defense, always and in every circumstance, of freedom of religion.
Italy’s FM: For the first time, the Israeli police denied the leaders of the Catholic Church the possibility of celebrating Palm Sunday Mass in one of the holiest places for millions of believers around the world [in Jerusalem].
The tragic irony of the last few years is that, had the USG given Ukraine only a fraction of the weapons that they have expended against Iran in a few weeks (Patriots, Tomahawks, etc), Ukraine would have won, oil prices would not be skyrocketing and the US would be more secure.
