Another Study Warns of the Collapse of Noth Atlantic

 Another report came out recently presaging the dangers to the Atlantic currents that transport warm tropical warm water from the gulf and tropical regions to the North Atlantic Ocean; and the cold weather from the North Atlantic to the tropics and the gulf. 

These currents help regulate  climate for a large portion of the world. It is the reason the England feels balmy while London has the same latitude as southern Alaska.

The breakdown of the North Atlantic currents such as the Gulf Stream would have devsstating consequences for places like England and Scandinavia. It would also set off a  cascading effect around the world throwing everything off kilter.

Wildlife Populations Have Declined 69% Since 1970

Our environmental crisis is much larger and broader and extends beyond air pollution. The World Wildlife Fund reported (Living Planet Report 2022)   that wildlife has declined 69% since 1970.

WWF attributes the loss of wildlife to our unsustainable use of our planet’s resources which has created the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change.Noting they are not only environmental issues, but economic, development, security, social, moral, and ethical issues too. 

The largest losses were with freshwater species.
