Ru has seen climate change as an opportunity, as evidenced in their plans for developing an Arctic trade route & agri expansion plans northwards. That and that ff are their prime revenue source are likely behind their covert attempts to thwart cc action over the yrs which have been perhaps the

biggest impediment to cc action (seeing how conservative parties have also been infiltrated).

Are there are predicated effects on the Arctic, Ru / Ch that are also deleterious, that would stifle their plans? I think it would be a good idea to publish on these also, loud & wide. 🙏🏼

What do the newer models say of the probability of AMOC collapse, Stefan?

I haven't followed it closely in the last five years, but I had heard that the probability was lower than once thought.

Okay, I found your article in Oceanography, I'll read that, then ask follow-ups if I have any!

How is it supposed to work? Greenland cold water slowing the AMOC, but if Greenland becomes part of the cold blob, it won't be feeding the cold water anymore to slow the AMOC. Is it a delay of the effects of the fresh water already infused? Will Greenland ice up to some extent again?

@rahmstorf.bsky.social I've encouraged the WEAll Economy Alliance to help the WEAll Governments (of which Iceland is one of 6) to lead scenario planning, strategic planning and civil dialogues on this. Do you get the impression there are any covert/overt processes starting yet? Glad to read this 🙃
