New study on #AMOC Collapse published today. We already understand how Greenland’s melting ice sheet (5 times faster now than in 2004) is adding freshwater that slows down the Atlantic’s circulation.

I shared these 'Introduction to Degrowth' slides a little while ago, but they needed an update. These slides have a more 'Internationalist' approach to #degrowth than the last set (see slides, 21, 22 & 31), which I believe to be crucial to any successful movement. (1/38)
