"Scientists Warn of Impending Collapse of Atlantic Ocean Current System"

A new study using the latest climate models suggests that the Atlantic Ocean's circulation is headed for a tipping point due to melting glaciers and ice sheets, which could lead to extreme climate changes within decades. If the circulation shuts down, average temperatures would drop by several degrees in North America, parts of Asia and Europe, with severe and cascading consequences around the world. The study also identified a physics-based early warning signal for when the tipping point is nearing, and the impacts of such a collapse would be significant, affecting temperature, sea level, and precipitation patterns.
