The author asked whether the ocean current AMOC is collapsing and referred to an accompanying explanatory video as very successful. It is also exemplary beyond the specific topic because it simplifies the content for laypeople in an understandable way, without hiding uncertainties and contradictions, he wrote. Corrections are also included. (translated)
The author praised Critical Latitude’s video explainer on the weakening Atlantic Ocean overturning circulation and the risk that it could pass a tipping point.
The author highlighted a Politico article about the linked tipping points of the subpolar gyre (SPG) and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), describing them as major climate risks. They wrote that the SPG could collapse within the next 20 years.
The alarmist sentiment has also reached Brussels, where last year, Teresa Ribera, responsible for the European Union's green transition, suggested including AMOC "on the list of national security acronyms in Europe." #schimbăriclimatică #AMOC #siguranțaecologică (translated)
"It is irresponsible to wait for absolute certainty before preparing," said Johann Pall Johannsson, Iceland's Climate Minister, to Politico. #schimbăriclimatică #AMOC #siguranțaecologică (translated)
European governments are beginning to take seriously the risk of the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) due to global warming, a scenario that could lead to colder winters, severe droughts, and economic disruptions in Europe, with estimates suggesting that such a collapse could occur around the year 2050. #schimbăriclimatică #AMOC #siguranțaecologică (translated)
Last year, Teresa Ribera, the European Commissioner for the Green Transition, proposed that AMOC be added "to the list of national security acronyms in Europe." #SchimbăriClimaterice #AMOC #CrizaClimatică (translated)
"It is irresponsible to wait for absolute certainty before preparing," said Jóhann Páll Jóhannsson, Iceland's climate minister, to POLITICO. #SchimbăriClimaterice #AMOC #CrizaClimatică (translated)
A climatic nightmare is taking shape in the Atlantic, and European governments are beginning to take seriously the threats of a potential slowdown or collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which could have devastating consequences on the climate, agriculture, and the economy of the continent. #SchimbăriClimaterice #AMOC #CrizaClimatică (translated)
Last year, the EU Commissioner for the Green Transition, Teresa Ribera, proposed that AMOC be included in the list of key terms related to national security in Europe. #klimatskepromjene #AMOC #Europa (translated)
"It would be irresponsible to wait for absolute safety before starting preparations," said Icelandic Climate Minister Jóhann Páll Jóhannsson. #klimatskepromjene #AMOC #Europa (translated)
Due to the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) caused by climate change, European governments are preparing for potentially catastrophic consequences such as cold winters and dry summers, which could drastically change life on the continent. #klimatskepromjene #AMOC #Europa (translated)
Het trage water in de oceaan, dat wordt aangedreven door hardnekkige dichtheidsverschillen als gevolg van temperatuur en zoutgehalte, speelt een cruciale rol in de thermohaliene cyclus (AMOC), die onder druk staat door klimaatverandering en waarvan de gevolgen mogelijk verstrekkend zijn. #AMOC #AtlantischeOceaan #Klimaatverandering
U Sjevernom Atlantiku, misteriozna hladna mrlja se dalje hladi, a nova studija sugerira da bi to moglo ukazivati na slabljenje ključnog sustava oceanskih struja, što predstavlja ozbiljan klimatski rizik. #klimatskePromjene #HladnaMrlja #AMOC
Nová studie ukazuje, že Golfský proud od roku 2014 překvapivě zesílil, navzdory dřívějším výzkumům naznačujícím jeho slábnutí, což naznačuje komplexní dynamiku uvnitř Atlantické meridionální cirkulace. #GolfskýProud #AMOC #Klima
Uuringud miljonite aastate vanustest merepõhjasettetest Lõuna-Aafrika ranniku lähedal viitavad, et Atlandi ookeani suur tsirkulatsioonisüsteem (AMOC) ei pruugi käituda vastavalt senistele teaduslikele seletustele, mis võib muuta meie arusaamu selle haavatavusest kliimamuutuste taustal. #AtlandiOokean #klima #paleokliima
Wenn der AMOC einbricht haben wir Kälteperioden, die viel schlimmer sind, als die Hitzewellen jetzt. Gleichzeitig ginge die Dürre unerbittlich weiter. Landwirtschaft und Ökonomie würden massiv leiden. Europa wird leider wie kein anderer Kontinent für den Klimawandel zahlen. #AMOC #Klimawandel #Agrarwirtschaft #EU
Der nördliche Atlantik kühlt sich seit Jahrzehnten ab entgegen dem globalen Erwärmungstrend. Das ist eines von vielen Indizien, dass die atlantische Umwälzströmung #AMOC sich bereits abschwächt, wie die Klimamodelle seit langem vorhergesagt haben. https://t.co/wKwFlqyESc #Klimawandel #AMOC #Atlantik #DE #GB
Rate of change matters. The faster the warming, the more "surprises" we have to expect. Sooner AMOC collapse is one of them. There are many others, though. #ClimateChange #AMOCCollapse #GlobalWarming #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweetprovided.
Onderzoekers aan de Universiteit Twente bestuderen het smeltgedrag van ijs in zout water door grote blokken ijs te analyseren in een speciaal geïmproviseerde installatie, in de hoop de onnauwkeurigheden in huidige klimaatmodellen te verhelpen en beter inzicht te krijgen in de impact op oceaanstromingen zoals de Amoc. #ijs #klimaatverandering #onderzoek
