Collapse of #Atlantic Currents May Already Be ‘Locked In’
A vast system of Atlantic currents delivers warmth to northern #Europe is at risk of collapse, according to a growing body of research. Latest study to warn of its demise finds there is at least 10% chance that collapse of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or #AMOC, may already be “locked in.”
If AMOC were to collapse, its flow slowing to a near halt, temps in northern Europe would drop by 9-27F (5-15C).
