"Study Warns of Catastrophic Global Weather Impacts from Atlantic Ocean Current Collapse"

A new study warns that the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) due to increasing freshwater inflows from melting ice sheets and global warming could have severe global climate impacts, including shifting Asian monsoon rainfall patterns, reversing Amazon seasons, and causing dynamic sea level rise. The collapse could also lead to extreme heat waves, intense storms, and reduced precipitation in Western Europe, with significant impacts on agriculture. The study suggests that the AMOC tipping point could occur as early as 2050, and highlights the need to urgently address emissions to mitigate the risk of collapse.
