This is an oceanographic phenomenon worthy of our attention and alarm. Lots of talk about #TippingPoint events lately, with good reason. This is one of the most important to track, with profound global implications for #ClimateChange and #ExtinctionEvent triggering. If the #AMOC becomes more unstable, as it is doing every year, it WILL collapse - within a few generations. And that, my friends, will change the world in dramatic ways. We don’t want to go there, but are well on our way. #Oceans #Oceanography #AtlanticCurrents #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency
