The Earth's great ocean currents have carried warm waters up from the tropics to Northern Europe for hundreds of millions of years. They are the eternal thermal engines that drive climate variability around the world. The oceans are key to the world's variable climate. They contain 91-93% of all retained heat energy, which drives the major tropical currents to the world's northern hemisphere. This prevents most of Europe freezing in a climate similar to Greenland. It makes little sense to attribute global climate to a trace gas CO2, which is 420 ppm, or 0.042% of the atmosphere. Water vapour is at least 100 times more influential for heat retention, particularly in tropical areas where it provides up to 75% of regional warming capacity. The major currents are large-scale, continuous movements of seawater driven by wind, tides, and density differences (thermohaline circulation). These are organised into five major subtropical gyres. A round trip for thermohaline circulation takes 1,000 years for a single parcel of water. While the atmosphere changes by the day, the oceans provide the thermal memory of the planet. The two key currents are the Gulf Stream (Atlantic) and the Kuroshio (Pacific) and they transport heat poleward, influencing the global climate. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current moves the largest volume of water.

Six weeks after September 11, 2001, twelve American soldiers were quietly loaded onto a helicopter in Uzbekistan and flown over the Hindu Kush mountains in the dead of night. No tanks. No armored vehicles. No air support waiting on the ground. Just twelve Green Berets, over a hundred pounds of gear each, and a mission that their own commanders privately doubted any of them would survive. They landed in a remote Afghan village called Dehi, in the pitch black, surrounded by a country they barely had maps for. And then someone handed them horses. Not metaphorically. Actual horses — Afghan stallions, tough as nails and famously difficult to control. Wooden saddles covered in carpet scraps. Stirrups so short their knees rode up around their ears. Captain Mark Nutsch, who'd grown up on a cattle ranch in Kansas and competed in collegiate rodeos, became trail boss on the spot. For the other ten men on his team — Operational Detachment Alpha 595 of the 5th Special Forces Group — the learning curve was immediate and unforgiving. The first words one of his sergeants learned in Dari were: "How do you make him stop?" They had linked up with General Abdul Rashid Dostum, a Northern Alliance warlord who controlled thousands of fighters and knew this territory like the back of his hand. The deal was simple: the Americans would call in precision airstrikes from horseback. Dostum's cavalry would do the charging. Together, they would take Mazar-i-Sharif — a Taliban stronghold of 250,000 people — and crack open northern Afghanistan. Military planners had estimated it would take two years. Task Force Dagger gave ODA 595 three weeks. For 23 days of nearly continuous combat, the Horse Soldiers lived like men from a different century. They ate what the Afghans ate. They slept on the ground in freezing mountain passes. They rode trails so narrow and sheer that one wrong step meant a thousand-foot drop. Staff Sergeant Will Summers started the mission at 185 pounds. He left Afghanistan five weeks later weighing 143. The Taliban had tanks. Soviet-era armor, antiaircraft guns, fortified positions dug into the mountains. Against this, twelve Americans on horseback radioed coordinates to aircraft circling invisibly above, and watched the positions erupt. On November 9, 2001, they rode into the kind of moment that people are not supposed to experience in the modern world. Nutsch and his team joined hundreds of Dostum's horsemen in a thundering cavalry charge across an open plain — directly into entrenched Taliban lines. Under fire. At a gallop. Calling in close air support between strides. It was the first cavalry charge of the 21st century. It was also the last. The next day, Mazar-i-Sharif fell. The Taliban's northern stronghold collapsed. Within weeks, the regime itself began to unravel — a domino effect that started with twelve men and borrowed horses in the mountains. All twelve of them came home. Zero American fatalities. Against a fortified enemy that outnumbered and outgunned them at every turn. Today, across from Ground Zero in New York City, there is a bronze statue — sixteen feet tall — of a Special Forces soldier on horseback, rifle across his lap, looking west. It honors ODA 595 and the teams who rode with them. Most Americans walk past it every day without knowing the story. Now you do.

To understand the climate, look at the scale: The world's oceans cover 71% of the global surface area to an average depth of 2.3 miles. Water is 1,000 times denser than air, granting the oceans a heat retention capacity that the atmosphere simply cannot match. Water vapour dominates the world's atmosphere, reaching up to 4% of atmospheric volume over temperate and tropical regions. It's responsible for up to 75 percent of all atmospheric warming, making carbon dioxide a distant second. Water vapour, winds, ocean currents and clouds are overwhelmingly responsible for earth's regional weather patterns. These are the true global drivers of all weather, all the cloud cover, storms, rain, humidity and snowfall.

UEFA have to create a new law to stop this from happening, no other team in the competition has the luxury of doing this so why should PSG, it’s the definition of an unfair advantage
Get French Football News@GFFN

🚨 | The LFP have approved PSG's request to have their match against Lens postponed, in order to aid their preparation for the Champions League tie against Liverpool; Strasbourg have seen a similar request also approved by the LFP. getfootballnewsfrance.com/2026/psgs-game…

SHUT UP FOR THE SAKE OF DIVERSITY This Community Cohesion Officer told a single mother living in GRIMSBY he would lock her up for racial incitement if she went to the press and told them about the illegals living in a HMO next door terrorising her daily How many more women has he threatened with arrest for speaking out?

This is one of Rahmeh Aladwan’s fans outside Charing Cross police station last night. By day Latifa Abouchakra works for Iran State TV and by night holds signs like this. That’s the pro-Pal movement in this country.

We owe nothing to anybody. We ended the Atlantic slave trade. Enforced the end throughout Africa. We, the British people, bought and freed 800,000 people at once. On the 1st of August 1834. Find out more about our involvement at: proudofus.co.uk/story.html?slu…

@afneil @Bryn_Celtaidd In 2025 we spent £334 billion on welfare and spent only ~£60 billion on defence, with only about 15% of that going to the Royal Navy. So for every £1 we spent on the Royal Navy we spent ~£33 for someone sitting on their arse. Just a totally unserious and dysfunctional nation.

The current state of the Royal Navy: 2 aircraft carriers — neither operational. 6 Type 45 destroyers (our most powerful warships) — one operational (in Cyprus). 7 Type 23 frigates (less powerful, much older) — three operational 5 Astute class nuke-powered subs — one operational (in Arabian Sea?). Surely those responsible for this appalling state of unreadiness (a national embarrassment if ever there was one)— political, civilian and military — should be fired/charged. Their incompetence has effectively left us without a navy. Quite an achievement for an ancient island nation.

No it doesn't @JeevunSandher The gas may cost the same, but the liquefaction, transport, and regasification costs around $5 million per tanker. It's also far higher in emissions, so why wouldn't you take it from the North Sea? It's pure ideology.

‘It costs the same, whether it comes out of the North Sea or the Middle East.' Labour’s @JeevunSandher challenges hotelier Rocco Forte's claim that the UK needs to drill for oil and gas.

I’m old enough to remember when Lenny Henry refused to work with Julian Clarey because of his sexuality. Calling gay people the F word and deriding them openly. So are you going to apologise for that?
