    The AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) is now creaking under the weight of all that Pacific heat in the ocean. If that goes - which is looking increasingly likely within the next 25-50 years - then sayonara Gulf Stream and Europe can look forward to what’s likely to be extremely sub-zero winter temperatures and soaring summer temperatures.

    I’m in the UK and I’ve bought an extra pair of mitts and a hand fan, so I’ll be laughing

              A little whimsy to make the world more bearable. Idk where I heard the advice, but:

              When you walk past a flower, stop and appreciate it. The weight of your worries will wait patiently, so take your time.
