This will continue until we reach net zero emissions, whether you like it or not: it’s physics.

@rahmstorf What happens when the AMOC fails? How does that affect Europe, or will that only be a regional effect?

@blbc @rahmstorf I guess, nobody really knows the future.
But according to most of the studies it won't be a regional topic. While most of Europe will probably cool down a bit (with way more chaotic weather), parts of the rest of the world will heat up, since this AMOC won't transfer all that heat away from there and therefore it stays there.
