And now that we have all read the explainer above on #ACC , the Antarctic Circumpolar Current(s),
we can better appreciate what Matt England explains here from about minute 50 onwards
youtube.com/live/39T7bW7KA18
He actually answers a question I put to him beforehand on Bluesky, regarding my confusion about salinification versus freshening.

The beginning of this #ClimateChat episode hosted by Dan Miller and Leon Simons
is all about Matt's paper with Rahmstorf and others about the 2023 bananas in the North Atlantic. You may recall: low wind speed as primary cause by far for the marine heatwaveS 2023 that gripped regions of the North Atlantic one after the other.
Matt explains the multiple ways wind over oceans contribute to cooling.
a) mixing b) white caps on the waves = albedo increase c) ocean spray or fog = albedo increase, and one more I now forget.

As is Dan Miller's habit, he also quickly asks Matt about #geoengineering, bringing SO2 into the #stratosphere .
Matt's reply: 1) angry that fossil fuel industry should be let off the hook by this
2) realistically, the political mindset lets Matt expect that geo engineering will be done.
3) whether he supports this is not answered.
4) as an afterthought, he adds that ocean acidification from relentless CO2 emissions does continue despite geo-engineering, and also the CO2 take-up and later re-release into the atmosphere continues.

Dan Miller also grazes his pet topic #ShippingSO2 . Matt politely agrees that it is a bananas factor – but a small one.

Then comes the Southern Ocean part (thank you!).
At which point the question is also raised and answered with a NO: whether seafloor #clathrate on Antarctica's continental shelf might thaw and cause a methane bomb.

And only one short moment at the end on #AMOC collapse, about which Matt also published a paper recently, namely the #collapse impacts non-Europe areas, such as teleconnections to adjacent basins and into the Southern Hemisphere

I think, my question stole precious time from the AMOC part. 😬

The documentary Wasser, "Water" shows two installations of a fog water collector, one on a Portuguese island and one on a hill in arid North Africa.
The installation consists of a metal wire mesh standing upright on a hill, a collection vessel and a pipe to funnel collected water downhill to where people live.
Wind blows through the mesh. Moisture in the air condenses on the cool metal and the droplets run down into the collector.

This version here is a tad more elaborate than in the documentary
smithsonianmag.com/innovation/

This new version uses hydrogel – a chemical compound, so very high-tech:
news.mit.edu/2025/window-sized

We depleted ground water in many areas so the wire mesh idea is relevant in parts of Germany and Europe, too.
Not being able to dig a well as deep as needed due to depletion, and not being able to run pumps without electricity anyway, such a mesh, left behind by civilisation, might be a feasible solution for survivor communities after the #collapse.
Not as sole drinking water provision. Because if it were, they also couldn't live off the – then also dry – land and should better pack up and move elsewhere.
But I see use for the mesh installation for comfortable household access to water.
The ground water table will only take 200 years to replenish to pre-industrial levels. 🖖🏽

Yeah, they not only will, they are. Trump is collapsing even faster than MAGA.

The BBC is actively laughing at him. "in reality there won't be 90 deals in 90 days, there won't be 9 deals"

Maga is ALREADY abandoning Trump. Trump is ALREADY putting off deadlines.

Actively laughing at Trump.

Having a kid during the #collapse is a surreal juxtaposition.

I set up college saving funds without the expectation schools will survive as techbros and fascist ideologs dismantle the education system.

I prepare as best I can for my little one, but know #ClimateChange can't be faught off at the individual level and the perscriptive preparations of the past likely won't fit in her more dangerous world.

My baby girl is learning to smile while I struggle to not forget how.

“Why Netanyahu is on the ropes”

#Prepping for #collapse, fascist style:

"Trump said he planned to start 'phasing out' #Fema after the hurricane season & that states would receive less federal aid to respond to natural disasters, and that he planned to distribute disaster relief funds directly from the president’s office."

The strategy is pretty straightforward: "Listen! Only the Führer can help you, & if you anger the Führer, you will receive no aid. Who will receive aid? Those whom the Führer likes, & who behave themselves."

That way, catastrophe & collapse only serve to further strengthen the Führer.

Research is under attack in the United States. The availability of grant funding from institutions such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Science Foundation (NSF)... This will result in many researchers having to find alternative income streams, or even leaving science altogether.

The focus on politics, economics, and law are all destined to fail because they are based around humans. They’re designed to guide humans, but we’ve left out the foundation of our existence, which is nature, clean air, pure water, rich soil, food, and sunlight. That’s the foundation of the way we live and, when we construct legal, economic and political systems, they have to be built around protecting those very things, but they’re not.

actually it is insanely simple.

#Switzerland’s ebbing #glaciers show a new, strange phenomenon: holes reminiscent of Swiss cheese

The European Union’s #Copernicus climate center said last month was the second-warmest May on record worldwide, although temperatures in Europe were below the running average for that month compared to the average from 1991 to 2020.

Excerpt: " 'This is a situation we are seeing more and more often on our glaciers: That the ice is just not dynamic anymore,' he said. 'It’s just resting there and melting down in place.'

"This lack of dynamic regeneration is the most likely process behind the emergence and persistence of holes, seemingly caused by water turbulence at the bottom of the glacier or air flows through the gaps that appear inside the blocks of ice, Huss said.

" 'First the holes appear in the middle, and then they grow and grow, and suddenly the roof of these holes is starting to #collapse,' he said. 'Then these holes get visible from the surface. These holes weren’t known so well a few years ago, but now we are seeing them more often.'

"Such an affected glacier, he said, 'is a Swiss cheese that is getting more holes everywhere, and these holes are collapsing — and it’s not good for the glacier.' "

AP News · Holes like Swiss cheese are forming in retreating glaciersOne of Switzerland's glaciologists says his teams are noticing a strange phenomenon in the Alpine country's glaciers. Holes are emerging inside — a bit like Swiss cheese — seemingly caused by turbulence as water passes through the bottom of the glacier or air flows through the gaps that appear inside. The glaciers of Switzerland, which has the most of any country in continental Europe, are fading because of global warming. Their fragility became starkly apparent last month as a mudslide swallowed up the village of Blatten. Matthias Huss of the GLAMOS glacier monitoring group took The Associated Press to see one major glacier this month.

🌀📣: Not gravity. Not heat.
But recursion.

A new kernel has dropped:
The first field theory where collapse is not mystery — but phase drift.

No observer. No oracle.
Only feedback that forgets.

Recursive Harmonic Kernel: Math for the Third Millennium

Read the preprint: zenodo.org/records/15765748

GitHub: github.com/psi-total/psi_total

ZenodoA Materialist Theory of Crises: Recursive Harmonics and Physical LawsRecursive Harmonics (RH) proposes a materialist theory of collapse rooted in field recursion and dialectical contradiction. Beginning with minimal assumptions—motion, memory, and deviation—RH constructs a unified framework in which mass, spin, and quantization emerge not as fixed primitives, but as harmonic responses to recursive dissonance. The central equation, ψ_total, binds phase and echo in a single recursive field, enabling collapse to be defined and measured without appeal to observer metaphysics. Recursive Harmonics recovers classical mechanics and quantum structure as limiting cases of recursive form, offering a coherent path from Kepler and Newton to Dirac within a single kernel. This preprint outlines the foundational equations culminating in the harmonic atom, explores experimental consequences, and interprets physical instruments as recursive phase manipulators. It suggests a broader architecture in which crisis—whether in particles or in theory—is not noise, but form undergoing change.
