With the crisis along the Strait of Hormuz choking off global oil supplies, are making a comeback.

But are they a climate-friendly solution

This winter weather is feeling a little weird.

Here we are in mid-winter and the max temps here in Canberra (Australia) have been around 17-18 degrees celcius (62.6- 64.4 F). This Thursday is predicted to be 19 C.

The average daily high temperature for Canberra in June is usually around 11 C.

I took my dog for a walk yesterday at 4.30pm, and I was quite comfortable in just a T-shirt!
It feels kinda weird.

I am not the only one to notice. Gregory Andrews has been writing about it over on his excellent blog Lyrebird Dreaming:

People are noticing that something seems off. Some readers described what theyre observing as spooky. Many shared observations from their own backyards. Several people reported spring flowers already blooming. In my own garden, plants that normally wait until August or September seem to think spring has already arrived. Others commented that the ocean along the NSW South Coast still feels more like late summer than winter. The weekend before last, I was at Murramarang National Park and dozens of people were swimming and sunbathing. In June.

None of these observations prove climate change on their own. But theyre the sorts of things people notice when familiar seasonal patterns start to shift. Theyre reminders that climate change isnt only measured by satellites, ocean buoys and scientific graphs. Its increasingly being observed in our gardens, on our beaches and in our everyday lives.

And heres the thing. At the same time, a series of climate indicators from around the world are also sending out similar signals. What strikes me is not any one record in isolation. Its how many different parts of the climate system are telling a remarkably similar story.

A protected corridor starts as a line on a map. Planners trace the strip of land where habitat still looks healthy, set it aside, and trust those passages to carry animals between safe areas for decades.

A new analysis says that trust is misplaced. The habitat a corridor is built to reach rarely stays where the map put it, and a route locked in today can quietly steer wildlife toward a dead end

"In the North Atlantic Ocean, south of Greenland and Iceland, a large patch of water is doing something very strange. While the rest of the ocean heats up, its been getting colder. A new study says it has the answer to this mystery and its an ominous sign the world is hurtling toward one of the most alarming climate tipping points.

The swath of ocean dubbed the cold blob or warming hole has cooled by nearly 1 degree Celsius (1.8 Fahrenheit) since 1900.

Scientists have long debated whether this anomaly is driven by heat loss from the ocean surface due to changes to winds and clouds, or whether its a signal of the weakening of a critical system of ocean currents, which transports heat. The new research concludes its the latter, and the finding points to a worrying future.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, works like a vast ocean conveyor belt, pulling warm water from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere, where it cools, sinks and flows back south.

A raft of research suggests this system is weakening as human-driven global warming melts ice and causes a surge of freshwater into the ocean, disrupting the AMOCs delicate balance of heat and salinity. Some scientists warn the AMOC is heading toward a tipping point, potentially as early at this century, which would mean a future collapse is locked in.

An AMOC shutdown would be a global catastrophe, causing accelerated sea level rise on the US East Coast, plunging Europe into a winter deep freeze and shifting the monsoon in Africa, driving prolonged droughts."

Here's a really interesting read about the AMOC - the seriously important ocean currents that give us much of the weather we think of as "normal". I had no idea of the scale of the oceanographic surveys and the sensors deployed. .

There is potential for Amoc weakening to become a collapse. In that specific scenario ,Europe would experience climate change up to 10 times faster than today. Considering that current climate change is already hard to keep up with as a society, we cant begin to imagine what impact an Amoc collapse could have on our daily lives.

During oil and gas exploration in Canada "seismic lines" are cleared for surveying, transportation, and equipment movement. There are over 345,000 km of these lines through peatlands in Alberta alone. These cause vegetation changes and are not restored after exploration. A new study finds that methane release from seismic lines is 2-3 times that from undisturbed peatlands.
