The Atlantic Current (AMOC) is slowing down: confirmation comes from satellites Dr. Kyle Muller 4–5 minutes A study conducted with satellite data from 1985 to 2023 recorded a decline in heat released from the ocean to the atmosphere: the AMOC has slowed by 14% in thirty years, with serious risks for mild winters in Europe https://evidencenetwork.ca/the-atlantic-current-amoc-is-slowing-down-confirmation-comes-from-satellites/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

stronger warming from higher radiative disequilibrium & weakening carbon sinks, driven by saturated land carbon uptake and the reduced radiative impact of CO2 drawdown at higher background CO2 concentrations. Higher peak warming therefore commits the planet to additional warming, limiting temperature-overshoot reversibility https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-026-02776-w https://archive.ph/wip/uMgo3 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#India New research reveals that major urban areas across India are on track to experience severe increases in both the intensity and duration of extreme heat events as global temperatures rise. Researchers have found that future heatwaves will not only become hotter but will also linger much longer, posing escalating risks to public health, urban infrastructure, and water resources https://researchmatters.in/news/new-climate-study-warns-indian-cities-will-face-harsher-and-longer-heatwaves-under-global-warming #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#theatre #art #London #UK Last year’s hit Fringe musical was Hot Mess, a rom-com between Earth & Humanity – featuring a new play grounding its narrative in the reality of the climate crisis part comedy, part eco-thriller. It follows four teenage girls who take extraordinary measures to stop a billionaire from building a marina that will destroy local wildlife. They plan to kidnap his grandson, sure that revolution will follow https://www.whatsonstage.com/news/teenage-rage-and-climate-change-how-can-theatres-fight-back_1736388/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

Clean power plants are intended to reduce global heating, but they also need to be resilient to the extreme weather events that climate change brings. Those events, though, are just the tip of the iceberg. Experts say the longer-term effects of changing sunshine, wind and rainfall patterns are unpredictable. They warn that clean power equipment needs to be designed and located to address these issues too https://dialogue.earth/en/energy/can-chinas-clean-power-stations-cope-with-a-changed-climate/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#PuertoRico #Caribbean Researchers studied climate events at the La Selva research station in Costa Rica and the El Verde field station in Puerto Rico. They found that, while average temperatures were not changing much over time, the two locations did experience significantly more days of extreme heat in 2024 compared to long-term data stretching back to 1992 https://phys.org/news/2026-11-climate-tropics-hotter.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#women #Fiji An Asian Development Bank report warns that climate disasters, gender inequality, and limited insurance access are leaving women and small businesses in Fiji financially vulnerable. The report calls for affordable, women-focused insurance, stronger financial inclusion, and better climate protection to safeguard livelihoods, reduce poverty, and strengthen economic resilience https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/other/3999883-fijis-insurance-gender-gap-exposes-women-to-rising-climate-disasters-and-financial-insecurity #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Bulgaria Climate change is already creating serious economic and social risks across Bulgaria. According to the World Bank, about 47.4% of the population, or around 3.1 million people, lives in municipalities exposed to severe climate hazards, including droughts, floods, landslides, and extreme temperatures https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/science-environment/3999881-bulgarias-green-future-faces-a-poverty-test-as-climate-hazards-hit-vulnerable-communities?amp #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#USA #US Most forecasts project Democrats winning the House and a narrow majority in the Senate in the November 3 election. But without control of the White House, passing any legislation will be difficult and almost any climate policy will have to be a bipartisan endeavor, say analysts Given that and the Democrats’ messaging-shift to affordability over climate, few experts expect a fully resurrected Inflation Reduction Act https://globalnation.inquirer.net/345354/for-us-democrats-climate-policy-is-now-about-energy-bills/amp #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

This causes algae to grow, which absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide, and this has a direct impact as a regulator of the global climate. However, experts believe that the accelerated melting has altered this, modifying water masses and the availability of nutrients https://www.marca.com/en/lifestyle/world-news/2026/11/02/beneath-arctic-ice-there-is-a-weapon-to-combat-climate-change-nitrogen-beneath-the-melting-ice-can-transform-global-ecological-balances.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
