US-Backed Operation Ends Reign of Cartel Boss ‘El Mencho’

  A forensic ambulance believed to be transporting the body of Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, known as "El Mencho,"leaves the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Organised Crime (FEMDO), following a military operation in which a government source said he was killed, in Mexico City, Mexico, February 22, 2026.  Mexico has entered a turbulent new chapter after the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as El Mencho , one of the country’s most feared cartel leaders. The Mexican military, supported by U.S. intelligence, carried out a high‑stakes raid in the western state of Jalisco that resulted in the fatal wounding of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) boss. He later died while being transported to Mexico City for treatment.  Authorities confirmed that the operation, conducted in Tapalpa, was part of an intensified bilateral effort to curb the production and trafficking of fentanyl and other narcotics into the United States. A specialized U.S.-led int...

Ocean System Approaching Tipping Point: Implications for Global Weather

 

An alarming scenario is unfolding in the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean: the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical system of ocean currents responsible for redistributing heat across the globe, is inching closer to a precipice. New findings from a sophisticated computer simulation reveal a “cliff-like” tipping point that could spell chaos for our weather patterns in the not-so-distant future.

The AMOC acts as a colossal conveyor belt, shuttling warm water from the tropics toward the North Atlantic. This heat transfer profoundly influences climate and weather systems worldwide. But what happens if this oceanic engine falters?

  1. Deep Freeze in Europe: An abrupt shutdown of the AMOC would plunge northwestern European temperatures by 9 to 27 degrees Celsius over the coming decades. Imagine a Europe gripped by icy cold—a chilling prospect indeed.

  2. Far-Reaching Effects: The repercussions extend beyond Europe’s borders. Arctic ice would advance farther south, altering the delicate balance of our planet. Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere would experience intensified heat, and global rainfall patterns would shift. Even the Amazon rainforest would face disruption.

  3. Food and Water Security: Scientists warn that an AMOC collapse could trigger worldwide food and water shortages. The stakes are high, and we’re moving closer to the edge.

When will this global weather calamity strike? Unfortunately, it’s the million-dollar question without a precise answer. While some estimates place it a century away, others suggest it could happen sooner. The rate of climate change induced by humanity plays a pivotal role.

This isn’t science fiction, it’s a real-world concern. The United Nations’ climate panel has downplayed disaster scenarios, but recent research challenges that stance. We ignore the AMOC’s vulnerability at our peril.

As we grapple with the consequences of our actions, let’s remember that the fate of our weather system rests on the delicate currents of the Atlantic. The time to act is now.
