Top UN court says countries can sue each other over climate change #climate

Top UN court says countries can sue each other over climate change
The decision from the world's highest court has been welcomed by developing nations at most risk from climate change.

Of all the things that legitimately scare me about #climatechange the rapid change and slowdown of deep ocean currents is the top of the list because they move so much energy around the planet and are literally the base of so many basic food webs and weather patterns.
“The melting of ice is actually slowing down the deep ocean circulation around Antarctica. This system of deep currents, known as the Antarctic Overturning Circulation, plays a critical role in regulating Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and distributing heat.
In the northern hemisphere, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is facing a slowdown.
We're now observing a similar risk in Southern Ocean currents. Changes to the Antarctic Overturning Circulation may unfold at twice the rate of the more famous North Atlantic counterpart.
A slowdown could reduce how much oxygen and carbon dioxide the ocean absorbs and leave vital nutrients at the seafloor. Less oxygen and fewer nutrients would have major consequences for marine ecosystems and climate regulation.”
