This is an extremely disturbing study.

According to new research reported here, the probability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) collapsing due to climate change is much higher than previously believed.

One author said: "We found that (on our current policy trajectory) the tipping point where the shutdown becomes inevitable is probably in the next 10 to 20 years or so." AMOC collapse would then follow by 50-100 years.

The AMOC is what brings warm water from the equator up to the west coast of Europe, keeping that region warm and wet, and circulates cold water from the Arctic down south.

AMOC collapse would cause dramatic cooling in Europe, particularly in Britain and Ireland, France and the Nordic countries, with average temperatures dropping by up to 8C. Icy.

Studies have found this would have a dramatic negative impact on agriculture in Britain. In the USA, it would cause higher sea level rise on the east coast.

The research on this is striking because so far the negative impacts of climate breakdown have affected the global South more than the global North. This may be one reason that Northern governments have been slow to respond. But AMOC collapse changes this calculus.

We can still avoid this risk, but it requires rapid emissions reductions, much faster than governments are presently planning to achieve. It will require strong public finance mechanisms and public works, to overcome the inertia of capital, and will require degrowing unnecessary forms of production.

The project required developing a custom methodology tailored to the unique Ecological, historical and political dimensions of my topic.lpresented my analysis as a transmedia that includes a short documentary, an originally compilec. historical timeline, and a research paper >>

Azizan, I'm working on my MS research about Kurdish farmers and land dispossession near the Turkey-Syria-Iraq borders (from WWI to today). If you or someone you know has relevant insights, please reach out. Supas!

What if a better world is one where women, Indigenous communities, and the oppressed reclaim the power that was always theirs?... I explore this idea in my latest piece here

As foreign powers look to shape Syria's political landscape after the toppling of the Assad regime, the country's Kurdish minority is being threatened by the Turkish government.

We take a deep dive into the region with Kurdish scholar @ozlem_goner, a member of @DefendRojava.

Since yesterday evening, Turkey has carried out airstrikes on Qamishlo, Kobane, Amude, and Derik among other locations in NES. The strikes are still ongoing, and included several power stations, 2 bakeries, a health center, and grain silos.

Beyond the human rights violations, the investigation must expose the exorbitant amount of money poured into this detention industry – a sophisticated torture machine that has cost billions. Just published my latest article for The Guardian
