A new study documents for the first time a significant slowing of AMOC - the crucial ocean current system that plays a role in regulating Earth's climate. The change started in the mid-1990's. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">phys.org/news/2024-03-d…

None of the 25 largest oil and gas companies in the world align with the central goal of the 2015 Paris climate agreement to keep global warming “well under” 2C. BP is the only company aiming to cut its fossil fuel production by 2030. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…

Around 7,000 humpback whales in the North Pacific Ocean may have starved to death following the disastrous effects of a marine heat wave, a new study reveals. livescience.com/animals/humpba…

Forskere har sammenlignet temperaturen nær overfladen af den arktiske havis med klimamodellernes simulering af de samme data. Resultaterne viser, at klimamodellernes simuleringer er meget tæt på virkelighedens temperaturer. dmi.dk/nyheder/2024/d…

“The temperature’s just going off the charts,” Brian McNoldy, a senior research associate at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, says. “It’s like an omen of the future.” nytimes.com/2024/02/27/cli…

For more than 30 years, the plastics industry knew precisely how impractical it is to recycle plastics, according to a new report. A trade association concluded in a 1986 report that “recycling cannot be considered a permanent solid waste solution”. newrepublic.com/article/179267…

Avian influenza is currently causing big outbreaks on islands around the southern tip of South America. Scientists fear it will just require a short jump for the virus to hit the Antarctic Peninsula and spread into the rest of the continent. scientificamerican.com/article/antarc…

Det er godt med en CO2 afgift for vi har brug for en ny strukturudvikling i landbruget. Men vi skal passe på silotækning. Der er brug for en mere helhedsorienteret tilgang til landbruget, hvor der tages højde for både klima, dyr og natur. information.dk/indland/2024/0…

Of the 42 raptor species examined, 37 had rapidly declined in recent decades, with the population reduction among 29 of these, being steep enough to signal the risk of extinction, the study found. nature.com/articles/d4414…

1/J Dr. Judith Curry recommends people read at least the 45-page preview of her new book. I did. It's bad enough I wouldn't recommend buying the book. It's largely contrarian conspiracist misinformation. twitter.com/curryja/status… amazon.com/Climate-Uncert…

The molecules in the natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) can form bonds with the molecules in the plastics, a bit like how Velcro works. And NADES are made from natural materials, meaning they don't add more pollutants to the environment phys.org/news/2024-02-e…

I gather some misunderstand this paper as an unrealistic model scenario for the future. That’s wrong. This type of experiment is not a future projection at all, but rather done to trace the equilibrium stability curve, from which an early warning indicator was then developed. The conclusion that the AMOC is „on course to tipping“ is based on applying that indicator to *reanalysis data* (observations-based products), as shown in Fig. 6 of the paper. In other words it’s observational data from the South Atlantic which suggest the AMOC is on tipping course.

New study: the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”. The paper by Dutch colleagues adds more weight to recent warnings, such as the OECD Climate Tipping Points report of 2022 and the Global Tipping Points report published 2023. realclimate.org/index.php/arch…

UNPRECEDENTED!! Never in known climate history has Atlantic Ocean begin to systematicaly warm in end of January - beginning of February. Usualy is happens in mid-late March. Expect UNPRECEDENTED weather extremes in Europe. Aerosol termination shock ongoing.

Den usædvanlige kulde i Skandinavien havde været fire grader koldere, hvis det ikke havde været for den menneskeskabte globale opvarmning. Det konkluderer et nyt studie fra World Weather Attribution. dr.dk/nyheder/viden/…

Selvom verdenshavene sidste år i gennemsnit var varmere end nogensinde, er rekordvarmen fortsat i 2024. I årets første måned lå overfladetemperaturen på klodens oceaner i gennemsnit på 21,1 grader, dr.dk/nyheder/vejret…

New research shows oceans have warmed by more than 1.5 °C since the beginning of the industrial era, challenging previous estimates and emphasizing the urgency of global action. nature.com/articles/s4155…

"Norge bruker flest forsøksdyr i EU/EØS, rundt 18 prosent av totalantall. I 2022 var 95 prosent av forsøksdyrene i Norge fisk, hovedsakelig laks. Forskning på reduksjon i antall forsøksdyr og bedring i deres velferd prioriteres lite." nationen.no/forsoksdyrenes…

Danske Bank har faciliteret en obligationsudstedelse, der har rejst 2,6 mia. kr. til selskabet Odfjell Drilling. Det er et norsk selskab med speciale i dybhavsboringer efter olie i sårbare egne som f.eks. Arktis. finans.dk/impact/ECE1678…
