"Warning: Impending Collapse of Atlantic Ocean Current Could Bring Devastating Climate Impacts"

TL;DR Summary
A new study suggests that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) will eventually collapse due to melting ice sheets in Greenland, leading to significant climate impacts. The collapse would result in heat lingering in the Southern Hemisphere, cooling in Western Europe, and up to a meter rise in sea level in some places. While the scenario won't be as dramatic as portrayed in "The Day After Tomorrow," it will have far-reaching consequences, emphasizing the urgency of reducing greenhouse emissions to mitigate the effects of global warming.
