Why Fears Are Growing Over the Fate of a Key Atlantic Current

Scientists are increasingly worried that a vast system of ocean circulation, which delivers warmth to northern Europe and impacts climate globally, is at risk of collapse. Mounting evidence suggests it may be nearing a tipping point, though the research is far from certain.

I better start painting the roof white, add more insulation and huge water storage tanks and grow more food...

Maybe I can, but most can't and will suffer. Or be shot or drowned at our borders...What a terrible outlook. #climate #ClimateCrisis #amoc #oceancirculation

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

Cañon Fiord’s Whirling Waters

During the 2022 summer melt season, sediment plumes and fractured sea ice traced swirling eddies in a branch of the Nansen Sound fjord system in the Canadian Arctic.

Evidence for a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) from high-resolution SST fingerprint analysis

Yeah right, this AMOC scare is just alarmist BS from fancy models. That cold blob? Probably just weather noise, not some Europe-freezing doomsday. Media loves hyping junk science again.

Evidence for a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) from high-resolution SST fingerprint analysis

The evidence for a weakening AMOC is concerning, especially when considering the potential tipping point highlighted by the high-resolution SST fingerprint analysis. The correlation between model simulations and observed trends emphasizes the urgent need to address potential climate impacts, particu...
