🆕Climate change study, the results suggest that the AMOC could collapse any time between now and 2095 under the current scenario of future emissions.
👉 Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation
🌊🌍The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is an ocean circulation system of the Atlantic, transporting water masses northward at the surface and southward at the bottom of the ocean.
🌊The collapse of the AMOC could lead to a drop in temperatures in northern Europe 🥶, elevated warming in the tropics 🌡️, strengthening of winter storms 🌀over the Atlantic (among others), and even unknown effects on global climate.
Previous studies had already contemplated this possibility and analyzed the potential effects of the collapse of the current.
