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.
Ya know what I really hate about these predictions? They're always in the near far future and they always demand that action be taken today.
But when we get close to the point of where calamity was supposed to occur then the goal posts get moved.
Climate change science is totally political. I just don't trust it anymore.

I see the push for electric cars but quite honestly I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze. Save the environment? I don't see it. The extraction of precisious resources is extreme and we would wreck the planet for one fossil fuel to acquire another mineral (or whatever lithium is). What should we do instead? Well for my part of the country we should embrace small SUVs and push for other forms of fuel savings. Green house gases are a threat? Well if one volcano erupts we'll see mother nature throw up more Co2 in an afternoon than man could throw up in a century! The Force Ghurka would be a best seller in the US. I guarantee that! Suzuki Jimmy too!
So there I was. Working a rodeo and concert last night. Drunk cowboys, and rednecks everywhere. The rodeo was exciting to watch (loved the bull riding...mix a high speed car crash with watching a high wire act with swirling winds along with a good MMA fight - in this case man against bull - and you pretty much know why I found that shit fascinating and a good watch!) and the singer was some dude that I never heard of but was a pretty awesome country singer.
Fast forward a couple of hour and everyone is good and licker'ed up.
Nothing serious but we had a few...fights...not anything that I'd call a real fight more like a bit of energetic jostling.
Low and behold we're getting one cowboy out the arena when I see the local PD roll up. Then another. Another. Then about 6 more of them.
I ask the dude what the fuck ya'll got going on out here?
The response?
We heard ya'll were involved in a melee....Sheriff's Deputies back to back fighting off a crowd.
I was shocked.
Not because of the call. The public can be batshit stupid. Easily excitable and too much TV makes people's imaginations run wild.
What was shocking is the response.
Felt good man. Felt real good. If you don't get it then I can't explain it.
Digging the lifestyle.
I'm going work out.
Your tenant doesn’t have to pay rent and there’s nothing you can do but if you don’t pay property taxes on the unit the government will come and seize that same property.

If that’s not the definitions of socialism and redistribution of wealth, what is?
