Meat industry blocked the IPCC’s attempt to recommend a plant-based diet

“A leak of a draft of the Intergovernmental Panel on #ClimateChange (#IPCC) report..has been particularly enlightening when it comes to just how much how delegations negotiate, watered down & delete scientists’ findings.”

Given all the discussion (and dismay) about the newly released #IPCC report, this article on the importance of #turbulence and internal waves for the transport of heat and carbon in the world's oceans. Mentions of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and size of internal waves (yes they can 500m tall) but most importantly about small-scale turbulent mixing (which is poorly documented) having a large-scale effect on climate. #ClimateChange #Oceanography

Map of the north Atlantic Ocean showing circulation associated with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning. Cold dense water sinks near the poles and warm water comes north from the equator.

Underwater turbulence revealed as a key factor in climate change

Much of the heat and carbon produced by humans is absorbed by the ocean. New research has shed light on the role that underwater waves play in moving that heat and carbon around our oceans, an important factor in predicting climate change.

You may have heard that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the #IPCC - released a new #climate report.

Here’s the most important take home:

There are *still* so many feasible & effective opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to #climatechange available right now.

Climate solutions will improve #food, energy & water security, benefit global health, promote equity, conserve biodiversity & boost the economy.
