Circulation méridienne de retournement de l’Atlantique
« La circulation thermohaline, appelée aussi circulation océanique profonde, est la circulation océanique engendrée par les différences de densité (masse volumique) de l’eau de mer, à l’origine de courants marins de profondeur. Ces différences de densité proviennent des écarts de température et de salinité des masses d’eau, d’où le terme de thermo — pour température — et halin — pour salinité. À l’échelle de la planète, la circulation océanique de surface et la circulation océanique profonde forment une immense boucle de circulation que l’on nomme boucle thermohaline à l’origine d’un grand cycle qui brasse les eaux et convoie la chaleur à l’échelle de chaque hémisphère du globe.« Source = wikipedia

When a small Swedish town discovered their drinking water contained extremely high levels of Pfas, they had no idea what it would mean for their health and their children’s future
Eat-Lancet report recommended shift to more plant-based, climate-friendly diet but was extensively attacked online [...] The report recommended that if global red meat eating was cut by 50%, the “planetary health diet” would provide nutritious food to all while tackling the harms caused by animal agriculture, which accounts for over 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. It suggested individuals – particularly in wealthy countries – should increase their consumption of nuts, pulses and other plant-based foods while cutting meat and sugar from their diets.
Oil and gas equipment intended to cut methane emissions is preventing scientists from accurately detecting greenhouse gases and pollutants, a satellite image investigation has revealed. Energy companies operating in countries such as the US, UK, Germany and Norway appear to have installed technology that could stop researchers from identifying methane, carbon dioxide emissions and pollutants at industrial facilities involved in the disposal of unprofitable natural gas, known in the industry as flaring.
