New research ... found an estimated #AmocSlowdown of 42% to 58% in 2100, a level almost certain to end in #AmocCollapse .

... @rahmstorf said #Amoc slowdown in 2100 may be even greater than in the new, pessimistic assessment. This is because the computer models do not include the #meltwater from the #Greenland ice cap that is also freshening the #ocean waters: “That is one additional factor that means the reality is probably still worse.”

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought

Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

Maybe the jury is still out whether or not climate change affects cold spells or arctic spillover or #SuddenStratosphericWarming.

But I go with the LaNina correlation. We have low/no sea ice east of Jamal peninsula, the unusual 3rd #LaNina winter in a row, and the unusual 3rd winter with a #SSW 🤷🏼‍♀️

Going forward, #AMOCSlowdown may cause permanent LaNina acc to a new-ish paper. And together with LaNina's other civilisation-killing fallouts, that wd then also mean: SSW every year.

Why, we'll monetize the ocean area, of course. Surely, #economists r already casting new #DICE to model economic dynamics based on past oyster prices, no?

We might start a new compensation scheme: ocean-CDR area for area-cleaned off plastic somewhere else.
Or we rent km2 from #EEZ of poor countries in the tropics. No one needs EEZ in West U.S. or East Africa, anyway, what with the #AMOCSlowdown causing permanent #LaNina and hence, permanent #drought and radical depopulation there.
