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.”

Tipping point of the AMOC: 2025 to 2095 with 95% confidence levels.
Well that’s not ideal…
No, it’s not. That means those who are born after 2050 are guaranteed to witness a catastrophic climatic event in their lifetime… Those could well be my grandchildren (if they’re ever born). I’m already suggesting my son not to have kids in the future, if things don’t radically change.
