More than half a million workers are on strike across the UK today, the biggest strike in a decade. Schools are closed, railroads are halted, and government offices are empty. The unions are striking for better pay with the cost of living soaring.

For 5000 years the Atlantic Ocean Current was stable, bringing temperate weather & moving moisture around the planet. But melting #Arctic ice is slowing the AOC, causing West America droughts, east Australia floods & huge Atlantic storms.

A four-day working week six-month pilot programme has been launched today in the UK.

Participating companies and organisations will trial a four-day week with no loss in pay for employees based on the principle of the 100:80:100 model – 100% of the pay for 80% of the time.

Instagram has come up with this: Tonga eruption super-imposed over France
