  • Fear and loathing in the Southern sea

    Fear and loathing in the Southern sea

    Various news organizations are reporting that a major ocean current in the Southern Hemisphere has reversed direction for the first time in recorded history.. climatologists are calling a “catastrophic” and a tipping point in the global climate system.

    The change in current was reported by Spanish marine scientists at El Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) in Barcelona. Now there is scientific speculation about what it will do to the planet..

    The study’s main finding is both surprising and alarming: since 2016, a sustained increase in surface salinity has been detected across the Antartic Circumpolar Current. That  change in water composition suggests a change in the balance of the components the ocean circulation in the Southern Hemisphere. Fresher surface water close to the sea ice edge is being replaced by more saline waters.

    “We are witnessing a true change in ocean properties in the Southern Hemisphere—something we’ve never seen before. Climate models predict freshening  of surface wàters in the Southern Ocean, while we observe the opposite, an increase in salinity” explains Antonio Turiel, ICM-CSIC researcher and co-author of the study. “While the world is debating the potential collapse of the AMOC in the North Atlantic, we’re seeing that the Southern Ocean is drastically changing, as sea ice coverage declines and the upper ocean is becoming saltier. This could have unprecedented global climate impacts.”

    Slow motion horror continues to unfold in Texas after flooding

    The heartbreak continues in the Lonestar state ..

    At least 161 people remained missing in Kerr County, the place hit hardest by devastating floods that swept through Texas’ Hill Country five days ago, Gov. Greg Abbott said on Tuesday, as the slim hopes of finding survivors continued to fade.

    161 people in one county.. alone..

    The number of missing cited by the governor — the first time an official had identified the scale of the recovery operation still ahead — suggested the death toll of 111 could more than double as searchers continue to find bodies.

    Officials in Kerr County acknowledged that no one had been found alive there since Friday.

    Two days before the flooding: A Texas state inspector visited the youth camp and certified that it had an emergency plan in place and that its cabins and other buildings were safe, records obtained by CNN show.

    The inspector with the Texas Department of State Health Services confirmed on July 2 that the Christian camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River had a state-mandated plan “for emergency shelter and for evacuation” in case of a disaster.

    Adding intrigue not being reported on your late local news or networks: The CEO of a weather modification technology company has confirmed that cloud seeding operations took place in Texas just two days before the deadly central Texas flood occurred. NBC News reported that Augustus Doricko, the CEO of Rainmaker, a weather modification company, said that planes had released silver iodide in the atmosphere in Texas two days prior to the fatal floods that have claimed over 100 lives.

    Doricko claims the cloud seeding operations did not cause the flooding in Texas..

  • Will negative reviews be Kryptonite for SUPERMAN?

    Will negative reviews be Kryptonite for SUPERMAN?



    This week, James Gunn’s much-hyped Superman movie premieres and with it comes a swirl of speculation, drama, and one massive oopsie.

    From the moment Gunn announced his take on the Man of Steel, fans have wondered just how political this Superman would be. Gunn hasn’t exactly dodged the question either. He’s said outright that the film will contain political elements, and in today’s fiercely polarized environment, that’s enough to set off alarm bells for both fans and detractors.

    Despite the anticipation, no official reviews have dropped yet. That’s because of a strict press embargo… well, mostly.

    In what might go down as the Kryptonian Leak Heard ’Round the World, The Daily Beast accidentally published its full review a whopping five days early. And it wasn’t exactly glowing. The headline?


    “The Terrible New ‘Superman’ Movie Is the Final Nail in the Grave for the Superhero Genre.”

    Whoopsie poopsie.

    The article was taken down within five minutes, but the internet doesn’t forget—and screenshots were everywhere within seconds. Warner Bros.’ PR team has been scrambling ever since, not only because the embargo was broken, but because it was broken with a fatal headline punch to the jaw.

    Talk about bad timing for a movie that’s already under a microscope.

    Now, Gunn and Warner Bros. are hoping that audience excitement—and perhaps some glowing word-of-mouth—can help the film deflect those early rays of criticism. Gunn has said the movie doesn’t need to hit $700 million to be considered a success. But considering its hefty budget and the fact that superhero fatigue is real (unless you’re a dinosaur—Jurassic World: Dominion roared back to life last weekend), some insiders are skeptical.

    Will Superman soar—or will those early leaked reviews prove to be its kryptonite at the box office?
