So in summary. They posit that they’ve identified that the AMOC has a tipping point, the AMOC state is heading to that tipping point but they don’t know how close the tipping point is. That sound about right?
Great article. Terrifying possibility.
I hope more groups start to analyze this current. The idea that Northern Europe could change average temperatures by up to 3.5°C per decade (current warming is 0.2°C per decade for and idea of how fast) with some areas seeing a drop of 10° to 30°C, is terrifying.
I think Ian Malcom said it best, “Life, uh finds a way”
Sooner the better. We obviously need something to big to make the human race understand whats going on. This would be a lot more terrifying and tragic if we werent warned for the last 100 years, seriously warned for the last 40.
