Scientists Find Early Warning Signs of Changing Ocean Circulation. Rapid melting of polar regions is flushing more fresh water into the North Atlantic, which may (over time) impact a global conveyor belt of moving water around the planet. Here’s a clip from UPI: “The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC for short, is the large-scale flow of water — driven by temperature and salinity gradients — specific to the Atlantic Ocean. Researchers say they’ve located signs that it and other portions of Earth’s oceanic conveyor belt are slowing. The global conveyor belt doesn’t just move water, it moves heat too — delivering it (in the case of the AMOC) from the tropics and the Southern Hemisphere to the North Atlantic. It is a vital component of climate as we know it. Should it continue to slow and become disrupted, it could spell drastic and abrupt climate change…”
Cruise Ships Dump 1 Billion Gallons of Sewage Into The Ocean Every Year. So please don’t play in the ocean anytime soon. Quartz has the horrific details; here’s an excerpt: “Some 20 million people board cruise ships every year. And while they might return to land with fond memories of umbrella drinks and shuffleboard, they leave a lot at sea. About a billion gallons (3.8 billion liters) of sewage (pdf), in fact. That’s according to Friends of the Earth, a non-governmental environmental group, which used US Environmental Protection Agency data to calculate arrive at that gross figure...”
Editorial: Human Nature vs. Global Warming. Humans Are Winning, And That’s Bad News. Here’s an excerpt of an Op-Ed at The St. Louis Post-Dispatch: “You’d almost think the world has no intention of fixing this problem. In which assumption you would be at least partially correct. If the world could fix its greenhouse gas problems painlessly, it would have been done long ago. But this is a problem that — if you address it seriously — would require significant lifestyle changes on the part of every human being living in even modestly developed nations. No politician who wants to keep his or her job is going to do that by preaching sacrifice…”

That's it. Let's go. Cats, you got green lights. Get 'em in the air!
Victory 210, this is Zulu-5-Bravo.
Your vector 120. Estimated time of intercept 0740. Over.
Zulu-5-Bravo, this is Victory 210.
Nine minutes to intercept.
Sir, I think you oughta see this.
It suddenly appeared behind us.
I don't believe this. It's starting again.
Do you think we can outrun it?
