FTA: "Much like other issues concerning climate change, Thornalley say preventing the AMOC slowdown depends on reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

What are YOU doing to help that? Are you working to get environmentally responsible politicians elected? Are you driving an electric car? Are you reducing your fossil fuel-based power consumption?
