This may be the most important scientific finding of the year and it is largely unknown.
The AMOC far more sensitive to ocean warming than was expected.
When I read that paper by Rahmstorf, my jaw dropped. Climate change is a slow motion disaster, but this will be an exception.

Failure pattern known on many vectors as early as the 1800’s.
#PlausibleDeniability is humanity’s scourge.
Topped only by profound lack of planetary and biospheric #ethics.
I read a few weeks ago that this seems unlikely.Has something changed?
Scientists can urge the Norwegian government to do stuff but the power to stop climate change lies in the hands of China, India and the USA.
I was really hoping the link was to the paper or an abstract. Now off down the rabbit hole.
This isn't a bad abstract, far too simplified for even my non scientist brain, but a reasonable summary.

We discussed AMOC collapse in our secondary school geography class some 15 years ago.
This has been a conversation in Finland for almost 2 decades now, but has started popping up worldwide pretty recently.
