Ice Age cometh: Mysterious 'cold blob' in the Atlantic suggests the AMOC is weakening Over the past 150 years, Earth's entire surface has been warming, except for one patch of the north Atlantic. Located south-east of Greenland, this area has cooled by as much as 1°C and is known as the "warming hole" or the "cold blob". Scientists have been split over why this cold blob exists, but the latest evidence backs up the idea that it is caused by a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the system of currents that transports warmth from the tropics to Europe. The AMOC carries warm, salty water from the Gulf of Mexico towards the north Atlantic, where it cools and sinks, flowing back south along the ocean floor. Scientists are concerned that the surge of freshwater from Greenland's melting ice is making this salty water less dense, so it sinks more slowly, weakening the circulation. ❗️ Read More @sotten | - X | Facebook | Donate

Ice Age cometh: North Atlantic spring storms have grown more common since 1940, analysis reveals Storm Dave, which swept across northern Europe over the Easter weekend, is an example of what new research from the University of Gothenburg has revealed. Spring storms forming over the North Atlantic have become more common than they were 80 years ago, and this is due to climate change. In the Northern Hemisphere, storm seasons follow a seasonal cycle. Storms are weakest and least frequent in summer and most intense in winter. ‼️ Read More @sotten | - X | Facebook | Donate

🇷🇺Shiveluch Volcano eruption triggers highest aviation alert over Russia's far east - ash plume 10 kilometers high The eruption of the Shiveluch volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia's Far East has sent a massive plume of ash 10 kilometers into the sky and triggered red-level aviation alerts for the area and nearby regions. The ash cloud from Saturday's eruption stretched some 50 kilometers from the volcano as it traveled east toward the Bering Sea, according to the Volcanology and Seismology Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. A more powerful explosion that could send ash up to 12 kilometers into the sky "could occur at any time," the institute warned. A video recorded by scientists and published on social media showed a massive plume of grey smoke and ash rising high into the sky above the volcano. 👀 Read More @sotten | - X | Facebook | Donate

New study links Göbekli Tepe's vulture stone to Europe's Trypillia culture A new study compares the carved symbolism of Göbekli Tepe's Vulture Stone with ritual imagery from the Trypillia culture, suggesting that early farming societies in Anatolia and Eastern Europe may have shared cosmological ideas about time, death, sacred space and the movement of the heavens. At Göbekli Tepe, the famous Vulture Stone has never been easy to read. Its carved birds, snakes, scorpion, abstract signs and headless human figure have inspired competing interpretations for decades. Was it a scene of death ritual, an astronomical code, a mythic narrative, or something more complex? ➡️ Read More @sotten | - X | Facebook | Donate

The market is beginning to price in something most people still don't see There is a strange disconnect developing between financial markets and the average person. Most people still see the situation with Iran as another distant geopolitical story. It appears on television for a few minutes, disappears behind domestic political news, and then returns a few days later when another headline emerges. Investors, however, are beginning to treat it very differently. ‼️ Read More @sotten | - X | Facebook | Donate

New footage reveals Ford carrier fire damage far more severe than Pentagon acknowledged Newly surfaced footage obtained by CNN indicates that a severe fire aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford - the world's largest aircraft carrier - inflicted far more extensive damage than the Trump administration initially admitted to the public. Early in the conflict it was forced to depart Mideast regional waters and retreat West in the Mediterranean, before undergoing extensive repairs at port in Croatia. Pundits were skeptical of official explanations, which suggested an accidental fire was sparked in the laundry room aboard the giant vessel. The major blaze erupted in March at a moment Iran claimed to have directly hit US naval vessels, but crisis was consistently downplayed by Pentagon officials at the time. 👉🏼 Read More @sotten | - X | Facebook | Donate
