#Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds

Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout

Damian Carrington Environment editor

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation #Amoc is a major part of the #globalclimate system. It brings sun-warmed tropical water to Europe and the Arctic, where it cools and sinks to form a deep return current

#Rainfall is increasingly unpredictable due to #ClimateChange

"In recent years, rainfall patterns worldwide have transformed dramatically, with many regions experiencing unprecedented changes in precipitation due to climate change.

"Folk tales about the wet seasons seem to have turned into reality. #TorrentialDownpours are becoming more common. These #HeavyRains disrupt daily life. They also challenge infrastructure meant for milder weather.

"At the same time, dry areas are facing longer #droughts, raising concerns about climate change and its impact on #UnpredictableWeather.

"These prolonged dry spells have severe implications for #agriculture, #water supply, and #ecosystem health, making the need for comprehensive climate action more urgent than ever.

Climate change and rainfall variability

"A groundbreaking study now solidifies the connection between human-induced climate change and erratic rainfall patterns, offering compelling evidence of the far-reaching impact of #HumanActivities on the #GlobalClimate system.

"The research vividly demonstrates that human actions have sparked a significant global shift towards more volatile rainfall patterns, disrupting traditional weather cycles and increasing the frequency of #ExtremeWeather events.

"This significant finding validates what climate models have long predicted, highlighting the urgent need for effective mitigation and adaptation strategies to address the growing #ClimateCrisis."

Sahara Dust Transforms Into Ocean Life Fuel Across the Atlantic…

Iron is an essential micronutrient for life, playing a crucial role in processes like respiration, photosynthesis, and DNA synthesis. In modern oceans, iron is frequently a limiting factor, meaning that enhancing its availability can boost carbon fixation by phytoplankton, potentially impacting the global climate... scitechdaily.com #sahara #carbon #globalclimate #climatechange #oceans #micronutrients
