Another major environmental catastrophe that impacts on climate and world trade, but it is not on the radar.
The following link is a good video of the Sargassum problem, a pelagic seaweed floating on the surface of the ocean.

When we sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, we got stuck three times in giant mats of Sargassum. The video gives a good explanation of what happens in the Caribbean when it washes ashore, but it misses the major environmental and economic implications that have a profound impact on world trade and marine life in an entire ocean.
The Sargassum starts off from the coast of Brazil; it picks up nutrients from the Amazon and grows at an accelerated rate. It can double in biomass every 10 days. The weed crosses the South Atlantic to Africa and flows up the west coast, picking up more nutrients from the Congo and Gambia as well as agricultural run-off. By the time it reaches North Africa, Cape Verde, it takes a left turn and starts heading back across the Atlantic to the Caribbean.

There should only be 1 million tonnes of the weed in the Atlantic, but there are now 40 million, and it is expanding year on year. Sargassum is a plant, and like all plants, it requires nutrients such as phosphate. However, the massive amount of weed uses up all the phosphate and then biochemically defaults to absorbing arsenic, which sits below phosphate in the periodic table.

The Equatorial Atlantic is now devoid of phosphate, which means there is almost no phytoplankton, zooplankton or fish. When we conducted our citizen science project, 5000 samples were collected by 25 yachts at around 15 deg. North, and the results all confirmed that the Equatorial Atlantic was effectively dead.

The results were not ignored by the academics; instead, they attacked the Citizen Science project, this has become the subject of a reports by https://t.co/agIIEMzAfR.
Given the phytoplankton, such as coccolithophores and diatoms, have exhibited a regime shift, it also means the SML oil surfactant layer is gone, which means evaporation across the air-water interface has increased and aerosol/cloud formation has decreased.
Satellite.

Imagery confirms a 10%+ increase in humidity and a 10%+ decrease in cloud formation and rain.

This is climate change TICC, the consequences.

Impact on Central America, the survival of the tropical rainforests, mangroves, coral reefs, 25% of all marine life in the Atlantic and water supply for the Panama Canal. 6% of world trade and 40% of USA trade pass through the canal, and it has been totally missed as a major economic and environmental catastrophe.

Day 50 of traveling through Asia searching for wild weed growing naturally in the Himalayas. Some of these are clearly 16 to 20 feet tall and they’re only halfway done. Can you imagine them when they are peak height full of flowering colas the size of baseball bats. This is on my travels through Nagarkot, an hour outside Kathmandu, Nepal. 🇳🇵 daily average temperature is between 90 and 100° thank God for the daily rains which last 1-2 hours usually in the morning or evening.

Driving up to the mountain you find wild grown ganja plants all along the roads, and in every yard and even up on top of the ⛰️ which I hardly ever see cannabis growing in the pine forest outskirts. Nagarkot is a kind of local resort areas for the local Nepali, Indian and Chinese.

I think modern history has been lying to us, I have a deep rooted believe that humans, homo sapien, and our ancestors have been using cannabis for millions of years.

EVERYONE IN NYC IS SINGING EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

[no more docile users @WTTDOTM]

I was scraping over 30 traffic cameras in NYC last night to capture the celebrations around the city. Here are the highlights!!

Some of the later clips are so cool, you can literally see the minute the Knicks win and the fans flood the streets 🏀🗽

Ukrainian attack drones hit a major Russian oil depot in Rybinsk this morning, setting multiple tanks ablaze.

Seen here, a Ukrainian attack drone flies towards the already burning Russian depot, descends, and then smashes into another oil tank.

George Tenet’s necktie game was insane ask yourself why a house intel committee staffer and former cia officer John Millis wound up with a fatal shotgun wound in a Fairfax hotel room on June 4, 2000 that was attributed to suicide after he leaked a document to James Risen 👔

This video comes from Instagram account cashgotit_. It captures some of the chaos that unfolded across NYC after the Knicks won Game 5. Multiple police officers were injured, property was damaged, people were assaulted, and shootings were reported. The question remains: what was the point of rioting over a team winning a championship? Society continues to drift in the wrong direction when celebration turns into violence and destruction.

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.
