A recent study indicates the potential for a catastrophic collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a vital ocean current system, as early as 2025 due to global warming. Researchers have identified alarming signs of a tipping point in the AMOC, which is currently at its weakest state in over 1,600 years. If global carbon emissions continue to rise unchecked, the estimated collapse could occur between 2025 and 2095, with a central estimate of 2050. Past incidents of AMOC collapses, during ice ages, resulted in dramatic temperature changes of up to 10C within a few decades. Global heating has … Continue reading Teetering on the Edge: The Imminent Threat of AMOC’s Collapse and the Global Climate Catastrophe
