"Warning: Potential Collapse of Gulf Stream Threatens Catastrophic Climate Impacts"

Scientists warn that the Gulf Stream, a crucial system of ocean currents that brings warmth to the northern hemisphere, could collapse as early as 2025 due to melting glaciers, leading to severe and cascading consequences worldwide. The collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could cause a temperature decrease of more than 5.4°F (3°C) per decade in parts of Europe, triggering abrupt climate shifts, plunging northwestern European temperatures, and disrupting global weather patterns. The collapse would extend Arctic ice further south, increase drought in the Sahel in Africa, and greatly affect food production in the UK.
