We are in the Age of Humans - the Anthropocene.
Our new article (open access) shows how even with a moderate future emissions scenario, global temperature will still be elevated by 3-4°C in the year 3000!
Lifetime of our CO2 in the air is that long.

Actualmente tenemos dos anomalías que llaman la atención a nivel mundial en la temperatura superficial del mar. Una es el incipiente evento de ElNiño , el cual se prevé que sea fuerte a muy fuerte, en el que el Pacífico tropical se calienta bastante por encima de su media. Las consecuencias son mundiales, especialmente en el continente americano y asiático. Sequías , inundaciones, cambios en el patrón habitual de lluvias.

La otra anomalía es la burbuja fría del Atlántico Norte o Cold Blob, el cuál se relaciona últimamente según estudios a una ralentización de la Amoc (corriente termohalina) lo peculiar es que lleva unas semanas ocupando una gran extensión. Cuando la amoc se ralentiza (que no colapsar) deja de llegar calor húmedo a Europa occidental, los inviernos son bastante más duros, se crea un área de altas presiones en el Atlántico Norte , sube el nivel del mar en la costa este de América del Norte, disminuyen las lluvias en el norte de Europa, entre otras consecuencias.

Hay múltiples estudios que hablan de un posible colapso de Amoc en unas decenas de años.
¿Estamos viendo el inicio?

If this proposal goes through, Donald Trump personally will decide which scientists get grants and what science is funded.

Want to cure cancer? Not unless—and I quote—it 'advances the president’s policy priorities'.

There's a word for this: dictatorship

The NSF just eliminated geoscience postdocs, is trying to destroy NCAR, and is now dismantling the world's best array of ocean observatories for no reason, just uncomprehending childlike spite towards anyone who wants to learn anything about this planet https://t.co/lkJaeAMkb6
