"Atlantic Ocean Circulation Collapse: Iceberg History Offers Clues"

TL;DR Summary
Recent research suggests that while Greenland's ice loss is significant, it is unlikely to continue long enough to shut down the Atlantic Ocean circulation system in the coming decades. Historical evidence shows that icebergs, which are more effective at disrupting ocean currents, are less likely to form in the future due to the receding ice sheet. Although the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is projected to decline, the risk of an imminent collapse is lower than some fear, but climate change mitigation remains crucial.
