A new study suggests that the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”

"It’s observational data from the South Atlantic which suggest the AMOC is on tipping course. Not the model simulation, which is just there to get a better understanding of which early warning signals work, and why."

I mean, it’s already slowed by a third, hasn’t it? I know that it’s actual effects don’t scale won’t that, but I thought that we had already accepted that it would fall below the minimum threshold it can operate at sometime between 2030 amd 2045 ish unless we start doing a lot more from the pile of things we could be doing to lower carbon emissions but arn’t.
