PODCAST: Levke Caesar: “Oceanic Slowdown: Decoding the AMOC”
By Nate Hagens, originally published by The Great Simplification May 24, 2024
"...Nate is joined by climate physicist Levke Caesar for a comprehensive overview of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its connections to broader planetary systems. Amid a complex...interconnected climate system, the AMOC is a powerful force for regulating temps between the Northern & Southern Hemispheres along the Atlantic Ocean – yet it’s estimated to have slowed down by about 15% over the last few decades. What are the possible domino effects of this slowing oceanic powerhouse at a regional & global scale? How well do we understand what drives the AMOC, its cyclical patterns, and connections with other currents? ...how does the AMOC interact with other biospheric mechanisms that have shaped our stable, life-supporting planetary home?"
"The industry organization that regulates advertisements in Canada has ruled against one of Canada's largest pro-fossil fuel advocacy groups for spreading disinformation about the harmful climate impacts of liquified natural gas (LNG), according to a confidential decision. "
And they are ignoring that ruling!
"Many governments, companies and communities are taking action to reduce their use of fossil fuels. The petroleum industry is responding to this threat by ramping up their campaigns to manipulate public opinion. People like to believe they aren’t susceptible to the dark art of marketing, but Canadian advertisers...."

Destroying the planet we live on -- the only planet we can live on -- is of course totally legal and even supported and subsidised by governments around the world (including #Scotland's).
But PROTESTING against destroying the planet? That's illegal. That's very, very illegal. Don't even think about doing that.
@tshirtman@lienrag@pgcd@TomSwirly Yes, but, that's considering extinctions due to climate stress alone. The #ClimateCrisis is very serious, but it's by no means the worst of the crises we face. The worst is almost certainly #ForeverChemicals. And it's unlikely that the ecological consequences of the constellation of crises we face will be simply additive.
