The effects on agriculture in Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria will be devastating.
The extreme Mediterranean heat will cause even more extreme flooding even more extreme droughts and even more extreme wild fires than was seen in 2021-2024
2025-2029 will be MUCH worse

Even limiting global warming to between 1.6 - 1.8C would require far stronger policies to reduce fossil fuel emissions than those currently adopted by governments - which would allow the world to heat by at least 2.7°C, says PIK Director Johan Rockström at #COP30. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Removing CO2 from atmosphere vital to avoid catastrophic tipping points, leading scientist says
10bn tonnes must be captured from the air every year to limit global heating to 1.7C, says Johan Rockström

We get a non-linear signal in the global current system in the oceans...
upper ocean speeds up, deeper ocean slows down, mainly due to stratification
Now we have the first non-linear signal: eddy kinetic energy in the Kuroshio current intensified by 50% the last decade - Gulf stream 20%

![Map shows where the regions in the oceans are with the most kinetic energy - its where the strong currents exist - east of all continents moving poleward, around Antarctica, and in the equatorial oceans. The Kuroshio current is located east of Japan coming in from the south. Gulf Stream in the Atlantic.
Some text excerpts:
From the abstract:
The Eddy Kinetic Energy (EKE)
This study investigates if the global ocean mesoscale variability is becoming more energetic by analyzing 30 years of satellite altimetric observations. We use two observational products: one constructed from a consistent pair of altimeters and another including all available missions. Our results reveal a significant global EKE strengthening of 1–3% per decade.
The intensification is concentrated in energetic regions, particularly in the Kuroshio Extension and the Gulf Stream, which show EKE increases of ~ 50% and ~ 20%, respectively, over the last decade.
Over the last decade, the EKE in the Kuroshio Extension has increased 6 to 7 times faster than over the last three decades, representing an increase of ~ 50% with respect to mean values. These findings support previous studies that detected an intensification of the Kuroshio Extension, potentially linked to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation.
The Gulf Stream is the second region with the largest EKE trends. [...] Over the last decade, this region has increased 8.5 times faster than over the complete altimetric era, representing a statistically significant increase of ~ 20% with respect to mean values. A positive, consistent and increasing EKE trend in the Gulf Stream opens new questions about its relationship with the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and the subtropical North Atlantic gyre.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qfsw5lfocespqswcp62bfexu/bafkreihbdcb4353ym4kas2g5526imqbhwhjgtu6cdses3ul64urqnsyuta@jpeg)

While still warmer than any other years since the mid-1800s, sea surface temperatures in the northern half of the Atlantic Ocean remain well below their recent peak (i.e., climate change and climate variability).
