"Warning Signs: Scientists Discover Marker for Impending Collapse of Key Atlantic Ocean Current"
Scientists have discovered a potential warning sign for the collapse of the crucial Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a key ocean current that helps regulate the climate in the Northern Hemisphere. The flow of freshwater into the Atlantic Ocean at a specific latitude may indicate an impending collapse, with potential consequences including significant cooling in Europe and changes in precipitation patterns globally. The study underscores the urgency of addressing climate change to prevent further destabilization of the AMOC.
