Is global warming tipping key Atlantic ocean currents towards ‘collapse’?

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a vast system of ocean currents that helps to distribute heat around the world.

By transporting warm water from the #tropics northwards and cold water back southwards, the #AMOC keeps #Europe warm and plays a role in controlling global #rainfall.

It connects into an even larger network of #ocean currents that continuously moves #water, #nutrients and #carbon around the world.

Now, the AMOC is under threat from human-caused #ClimateChange, as warming seas, melting ice and increased rainfall upset the temperature and salt balance of the North Atlantic.
