Study warns of 'irreversible transition' in ocean currents that
could rapidly freeze parts of North America
--- Quote ---
> A large system of ocean currents in the Atlantic – which
includes the Gulf Stream – has been disrupted due to
human-caused climate change, scientists reported in a new study
published Thursday. If that system collapses, it would lead to
dramatic changes in worldwide weather patterns.
>
> The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC,
transports warm, salty water from the tropics northward at the
ocean surface and cold water southward at the ocean bottom.
>
> “The Atlantic Meridional Overturning really is one of our
planet’s key circulation systems,” said the author of the study,
Niklas Boers from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact
Research in Germany.
>
> Findings from a similar 2018 study drew comparisons to the
scientifically inaccurate 2004 disaster movie “The Day After
Tomorrow,” which used such an ocean current shutdown as the
premise of the film. At the time, study authors said a collapse
was at least decades away but would be a catastrophe.

Mediterranean region reels from wildfires
--- Quote ---
> A record heatwave is fueling devastating wildfires across much
of the southern Mediterranean and eastern Europe. Hundreds of
blazes have broken out – many of them multiplying in recent
days. Italy, Croatia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Albania, Kosovo,
North Macedonia, and Ukraine are tackling dozens of wildfires.
Scientists have linked them largely to the intense heat - which
they say is made more likely and more severe by global warming.
>
> Greece's Prime Minister says the country is facing an
unprecedented environmental crisis. The fires have wiped out
swaths of forests, destroyed infrastructure – and even
threatened Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympic games.
