TL;DR Summary

The Atlantic Meridional Ocean Current (AMOC), including the Gulf Stream, which helps regulate the Northern Hemisphere's climate, could collapse between 2025 and 2095, causing temperatures to plummet, ocean ecosystems to collapse, and storms to proliferate globally, according to a new study. While some scientists have raised concerns about the uncertainties and assumptions in the research, the study suggests that human-caused climate change may push the AMOC to a critical tipping point sooner than expected. The researchers plan to update their model with recent data to refine their predictions.
