Ocean waters are aging? What?
Yes: we oceanographers call 'age' the time since deep ocean water was last in touch with the atmosphere. It is a measure of 'ventilation', deep vertical overturning of the ocean.
Data show this process is slowing: #AMOC slowdown.
That is bad news for climate, and there is a serious risk of the AMOC crossing a tipping point in the next few decades towards an unstoppable shutdown. One of the worst-case climate change nightmares.

The murder in plain daylight for all to see, the contempt for human life, the scapegoating and denial by the president and his administration… on the brink indeed or into the abyss already.

This cannot end well, impeach and remove as that is now the only option, and it is not Trump only, it is the whole system that is being put in place. This needs to have consequences.

I wrote about Minnesotans putting their lives on the line to fight for their city, protect their neighbors, and defend the Republic against tyranny.

The People Struggle Against Tyranny

Another execution of an American citizen. A regime that has no strategy but to lash out. The struggle against Trumpist authoritarianism is only going to get bloodier.

"There is no act of violence committed by the agents of the state they won’t defend – no victim they won’t slander and vilify. ...

Here is the clearest encapsulation of Trumpism as a political project: Redraw the lines of who belongs, who is legitimate, who is part of the 'Volk.'”

“The regime’s spokespeople are not trying to convince and persuade anyone. They are not making factual contentions at all. They are presenting purely ideological assertions about how they want the world to work. And in this sense, their vile lies provide a window into how they see the world: Miller and Bovino truly regard Pretti – and anyone who dares to object in the streets of Minneapolis – as a terrorist. Here is the clearest encapsulation of Trumpism as a political project: Redraw the lines of who belongs, who is legitimate, who is part of the “Volk.” If you are, you get to rule, dominate, exploit. If you are not, because you deviate from MAGA’s vision of what “real America” is supposed to be, you have forfeited not only your rights and protections as a citizen, but also your humanity, your very right to live.”

Joseph de Weck (Foreign Policy Research Institute) argues that Europe (and the EU specifially) cannot continue muddling through the turmoil of global relations but rather need to 'drive change rather than merely passively endure it'.... but of course, the problem is, that the likely pace of political economic change in Europe (with the best will in the world) will not be fast enough in light of the speed of shifts prompted by Mark Carney's 'rupture'....
