MONARCH BUTTERFLIES: Have you spotted the increase is migrating monarch butterflies?!? Fall is near and we are now officially into the peak of the Fall migration that will take many of these precious and delicate creatures nearly 3,000 miles to remote mountain forests of central Mexico!

Monarchs navigate using the sun and an internal biological clock and compass that still astound naturalists and scientists today. Triggered by shorter daylight and cooler weather, the migration that is underway will last well through October.

Milkweed is critical: Monarch caterpillars eat only milkweed, making it essential to sustaining the population. Right now, fuel for this incredible journey matters most. Monarch butterflies need nectar-rich flowers to build reserves for the long journey.

Safe travels to Mexico on this unique and one of a kind journey for the overwintering in central Mexico! 🙏❤️🙏

Atlantic currents are regulating Earth’s temperature.

New research suggests a major ocean circulation system acts like a “heat valve.” When it weakens, the ocean can retain more heat, with consequences for the planet’s energy balance.

The system is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC. It carries warm water northward near the surface and returns colder water southward at depth.

To understand its role, researchers looked back to the ice ages, when the circulation repeatedly shifted between stronger and weaker states.

Their study, published in Nature Geoscience, analyzed simulations from three climate models that reproduce these abrupt shifts under glacial conditions.

When circulation was strong, deep mixing in the North Atlantic helped release large amounts of ocean heat into the atmosphere. Changes in Earth’s radiation balance also allowed the planet to lose energy to space.

When circulation weakened, that deep mixing shut down. Less heat escaped from the North Atlantic while other ocean regions continued absorbing it. Heat accumulated underwater, and the planet gained energy overall.

The researchers describe this as opening and closing an ocean heat valve.

It also helps explain a puzzle in ancient ice cores: Greenland’s temperatures changed rapidly, while Antarctica’s shifted more slowly. Greenland responded to changes in nearby heat release; Antarctica tracked slower changes in ocean heat storage.

The implication is that future AMOC weakening could amplify planetary warming.

But this is not a prediction of an imminent collapse.

The simulations represent ice-age conditions, when extensive sea ice played a central role. A warmer, less icy Atlantic may behave differently.

The study offers evidence that Atlantic circulation can influence both where heat travels and how much Earth retains. How strongly that mechanism will operate in our future climate remains an open question.

MONARCH BUTTERFLIES ARE BEGINNING THEIR EPIC JOURNEY SOUTH.

And one of them could be passing through your backyard.

As summer fades and temperatures begin to drop, monarch butterflies across North America begin one of nature’s most remarkable migrations.

Eastern monarchs can travel up to 3,000 miles from the northern United States and Canada to their wintering grounds in the mountains of central Mexico. Western monarchs generally migrate toward overwintering sites along the California coast.

Along the way, monarchs may stop in gardens, fields, parks and backyards to feed on nectar-producing flowers.

The journey is even more remarkable because the butterflies making the fall migration have never made this trip before. The monarchs that flew north in spring were earlier generations. Scientists believe the fall generation uses cues including the position of the sun and Earth’s magnetic field to navigate.

In the eastern United States, the southward migration begins in late summer, with northern monarchs generally starting earlier than those farther south.

So if you see a monarch resting on a flower this fall, take a moment to look closely.

That tiny butterfly could be part of a journey stretching thousands of miles.

A creature weighing less than a gram.

Crossing an entire continent.

And somehow finding its way home.
