A climate nightmare lurks in the Atlantic. Europe is starting to pay attention.
A slowdown of ocean currents that would disrupt life on the continent on an unthinkable scale.

Here's a non-paywalled version of the reporting on Canada becoming a possible "associate member" of the EU. It suggests Canada is willing to agree free movement of people, which (if true) would mean that the EU would be willing to agree more internal market access. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Most shocking about the exit poll is that mainstream right Moderatna are bigger than the far-right Sweden Democrats, which lose support. If this holds up, it would be a painful loss for SD and a quite rare loss for a far-right party that has not governed yet and wasn’t facing scandal.
