    Dubious article that misrepresents the study it references, and even relies on ‘social media posts’ for certain claims. What a joke.

      I just thought it was important to post because nobody is really talking about it, sorry if I’ve posted misinformation.

      I read the study you posted, still sounds bad but doesn’t seem to mention current reversal at all.

      Also your study seems to be by ‘A.S., R.C., E.O., V.G.-G., A.T., and A.C.N.G. designed research; A.S., A.N., E.O., V.G.-G., R.S., M.R.M., T.S., and F.A.H. performed research; A.S., E.O., and V.G.-G. analyzed data; and A.S. wrote the paper with contributions from all co-authors.’

      the article references Spanish marine scientists at ‘El Institut de Ciències del Mar’.

      Just wondering if you’ve posted the right one?

        In this false article, they directly mention ‘The development, which was confirmed by Spanish marine scientists at El Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) in Barcelona, has triggered widespread alarm among climate scientists due to its potential to accelerate global warming and destabilise weather patterns worldwide.’

        So yes, several of the authors in the Rising Surface Salinity article are from Institut de Ciències del Mar, like Estrella Olmedo and Verónica González‐Gambau, for example.

        That was posted June 30 and the article says the study in question was posted July 2, so I think it is a different one.

          My guess is that, whoever wrote the article on intellinews (the author isn’t mentioned by name, red flag #1), was referencing the date they saw a related social media post, which prompted them to create this alarmist bullshit for ad revenue.
