Scientists: Weak Ocean Circulation Could Signify Incoming Mini Ice Age

A weak circulation of ocean waters in the North Atlantic could signify that a mini

ice age is just around the corner. Scientists have discovered the weakening currents look similar to those that happened right before the Little Ice Age, a cold spell observed between about 1600 and 1850 AD.

During the Little Ice Age, the Baltic Sea, along with many of the lakes and rivers in Europe froze over. And new and recent studies are showing that the currents in the North Atlantic ocean are at their lowest in 1,500 years.

Researchers studied the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the branch of the North Atlantic circulation that brings warm surface water toward the Arctic and cold deep water toward the equator.

The research, co-led by Dr. Christelle Not and Dr. Benoit Thibodeau from the Department of Earth Sciences and the Swire Institute of Marine Science, The University of Hong Kong, is interpreted to be a direct consequence of global warming and associated melt of the Greenland Ice-Sheet.

Slower circulation in the North Atlantic can yield profound change on both the North American and European climate but also on the African and Asian summer monsoon rainfall.

President Trump says he will terminate the North American Free Trade Agreement 'shortly', giving lawmakers six months to approve the replacement he signed during G-20

The president said Congress can choose between the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement or 'pre-NAFTA, which works very well'…..

President Donald Trump said Saturday night that he will formally terminate the North American Free Trade Agreement 'shortly.'

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while returning to Washington from Argentina, after a two-day meeting with the leaders of other major world economies, Trump said he would provide formal notice to Congress.

The move will give lawmakers six months to approve the replacement he signed on Friday during the G-20 summit or revert to pre-NAFTA trade rules.

Trump orders flags to fly at half-staff for 30 days to honor Bush

President Trump on Saturday ordered all U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff for 30 days to honor former President George H.W. Bush following his death on Friday.

“President Bush led a great American life, one that combined and personified two of our Nation’s greatest virtues: an entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to public service. Our country will greatly miss his inspiring example,” Trump said in a presidential proclamation.

“It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of one of America’s greatest points of light, the death of President George H.W. Bush.”

Trump 'likes' North Korean leader and will 'fulfil Chairman Kim's wishes'

Donald Trump wants North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to know he likes him and will fulfil his wishes, South Korean president Moon Jae-in said on Sunday, a day after meeting the US president at the G20 summit in Argentina.

Moon, who is hoping to host Kim on the first ever trip to Seoul by a North Korean leader, as agreed earlier this year, said Trump had asked him to pass on a message.

“The message is that President Trump has very favourable views toward Chairman Kim and he likes him,” Moon told reporters on a flight to New Zealand, where he started a three-day state visit on Sunday.

“As such, he asked me to tell Chairman Kim that he wants to implement the rest of their agreement together and he will fulfil Chairman Kim’s wishes.”

While striking, the avowal of affection was not as strident as one offered by Trump in September. Then, the president drew applause at a campaign rally by describing “beautiful” letters he had exchanged with Kim and saying: “We fell in love, OK?”..

Trump, who met Kim in Singapore in June, said on Saturday he is likely to meet the North Korean leader next in January or February, with three sites under consideration.

“We’re getting along very well,” Trump said on Air Force One. “We have a good relationship.”

Trump added that at some point he will invite Kim to the US.

Kim and Trump pledged at their first meeting to work towards denuclearisation, although the two sides have since made little progress.

The White House said in a statement on Saturday after Trump’s meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping that they and Kim will strive “to see a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula”. The statement said Xi and Trump “agreed that great progress has been made with respect to North Korea”.

Looking for more money secured

Met police numbers 'will fall dramatically without new funds'

Sadiq Khan says London force will drop to 2002 levels unless hundreds of millions of pounds in new money can be secured

Officer numbers in the Metropolitan police will fall to their lowest level since 2002 unless hundreds of millions of pounds in new funding can be secured, London’s Labour mayor has said.

A new forecast by the mayor’s office for policing and crime (Mopac), which is responsible for law enforcement in the capital, says the Met still has to find £325m in saving because of government cuts. The force currently has just under 29,700 officers.

The forecast projects that by 2022, further planned cuts will take Met officer numbers down to 26,800, for a population of more than 9 million people. When Met officer numbers were last that low in 2002, London’s population was 7 million.

The forecast does not take into account any increase in funding that may be announced next week when the government announces a financial settlement for policing….
