New study: the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”.

The paper by Dutch colleagues adds more weight to recent warnings, such as the OECD Climate Tipping Points report of 2022 and the Global Tipping Points report published 2023.

@rahmstorf Are they saying that a major ocean current might run amok?

In all seriousness, though, I am not very knowledgeable about such things, but the idea seems scary as heck... especially as I live not far from the coast of the aforementioned ocean. I've seen what a small(-ish) increase in sea surface temperature does to hurricanes, so something as large and wide-ranging as this... uh... time to build an ark?
