Atlantic Current Collapse Could Trigger Global Climate Catastrophe
• A new study warns the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), including the Gulf Stream, could weaken significantly by
• An AMOC collapse could lead to rising sea levels in North America and drastic temperature changes in Europe.
• The study highlights the urgent need for global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent climate catastrophe.
AMOC collapse risk higher than previously estimated
A recent study in *Science Advances* shows the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), including the Gulf Stream, faces a higher collapse risk than earlier estimations. This ocean current system is crucial for global climate regulation, moving warm water from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere.
