A contributory factor in the decline of the Gulf Stream system is the change in salinity. Increasing polar melt and increased fresh water run off via estuaries are part of this picture.

In addition to the direct impact on UK, Irish and North European climate (will be more like Calgary with much colder winters), there is the effect on marine life.

Small changes in water density have a dramatic impact on the speed with which protozoans can move through the water.

This might sound minor but could have a major impact in your supermarket.

Protozoans are near the bottom of the food chain. Young fish, krill and many others feed on protozoans and have evolved their predation strategy to deal with the speed at which they move previously. With a reduced water density and faster moving protozoans, these species are likely to struggle to feed. If the young fish and species that the older fish rely on are struggling to catch the faster protozoans, then there will be less fish available to catch and eat. The behaviour of fish and other species has evolved over millions of years. They can't go on a seminar to learn to adapt.

The interweaved impacts of the numerous climate systems and the species that live within them are very complex. At some point key species and systems will fail. We can't predict which species and systems that fail will have the most dramatic impact and mitigate for those. To be on the safe side assume they are all critical. This isn't something we can deploy an engineering solution for.

On the topic of #moderation in the #Fediverse and if it is ok to remove someone from e.g. a #Mastodon server, I was reminded about this #xkcd again: https://xkcd.com/1357/ #fediversefachtag

Eat Your Greens - Based On A True Story

This weekly prompt for SciFi Month seems made especially for me and my love of books about food. These two books follow a Tea Monk...

Thinking about reviews this morning, mostly in the context of tools (or whatever you call the gear for what you do). I've grown pretty disinterested in the opinions of professional reviewers, and will check someone who actively does that kind of work instead. The opinions of those who mainly review tend to become increasingly masturbatory.

My ideal, I think, is someone who does a lot of tutorials, and does a rundown of equipment recommendations every now and then.

As far as media reviews are concerned, my opinions aren't entirely different: I consume lots and lots of them, but I kinda don't give a flat fuck about their individual opinions. I just like listening to people talk about movies, and by the 4th or 5th one, I've got a sense of how different people are reacting to it.
