Tulsi Gabbard just dropped new intelligence showing the US government funded over 120 biolabs across more than 30 countries, including Ukraine. For years people got labeled conspiracy theorists for even mentioning these labs. Turns out they were right all along. Transparency is finally happening. Time to make sure it leads to real accountability.

The Earth's great ocean currents have carried warm waters up from the tropics to Northern Europe for hundreds of millions of years. They are the eternal thermal engines that drive climate variability around the world. The oceans are key to the world's variable climate. They contain 91-93% of all retained heat energy, which drives the major tropical currents to the world's northern hemisphere. This prevents most of Europe freezing in a climate similar to Greenland. It makes little sense to attribute global climate to a trace gas CO2, which is 420 ppm, or 0.042% of the atmosphere. Water vapour is at least 100 times more influential for heat retention, particularly in tropical areas where it provides up to 75% of regional warming capacity. The major currents are large-scale, continuous movements of seawater driven by wind, tides, and density differences (thermohaline circulation). These are organised into five major subtropical gyres. A round trip for thermohaline circulation takes 1,000 years for a single parcel of water. While the atmosphere changes by the day, the oceans provide the thermal memory of the planet. The two key currents are the Gulf Stream (Atlantic) and the Kuroshio (Pacific) and they transport heat poleward, influencing the global climate. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current moves the largest volume of water.
