The state of “current” affairs is not good.
An Atlantic current that’s key for maintaining the climate could collapse sooner than we thought, potentially bringing about a global weather apocalypse, per an alarming study in the journal Science Advances.
“This is a key result with implications for the future climate of the Atlantic and beyond,” the international team of researchers wrote in the paper.
The at-risk current in question is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, a “conveyor belt of the ocean” that circulates warm water toward the ocean surface from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere.
This oceanic artery, which includes the Gulf Stream that runs from the Gulf of Mexico to the East Coast and across the Atlantic to Europe, helps maintain the mild climate of Europe, the UK and the East Coast. It also helps sustain marine life.
According to the study, the AMOC will slow between 43% and 59% by 2100, marking a 60% greater weakening than past projections estimated.
If this is true, the Earth’s eco-librium could be past the point of “no return,” the authors wrote.
A total collapse would reportedly spell disaster. It would persist for hundreds or even thousands of years and potentially cause sea levels to rise across North America, Livescience reported.

I have never once put an ice tray filled with water in the freezer and had the water boil.
Not just Detroit.
The Wisconsin glacier went further South, pass Indianapolis!
“The green movement is a doomsday cult. They need deep programming.”
I see the Day of Doom has slipped to 2100. I remember the first Earth Day. None of the dire predictions they made back then ever came to pass.
I heard this story in the 1980’s.
I'll believe the climate BS when prices drop
Eco-Librium? /facepalm
“...help maintain the mild climate...of the East Coast?”
IT WAS FLIPPIN’ -20⁰ IN PHILADELPHIA THIS PAST WINTER. What are they talking about???
My eyes are rolling so hard that they could power my home.
How is that possible there were no coal fired power plants and SUVs then🤔😂
So this’ll happen in 74 years. Just in time for everyone from Livescience to be retired and avoid responsibility. In the mean time they will purchase water front mansions to observe this first hand.
Moslem Eskimos?
Dear She/Her Leftists: it's called the Gulf of America Stream, a massive energy export from the Gulf of America. It identifies as USA/American, despite warming Western Europe 36 degrees Fahrenheit, enabling socialism. Western Europe needs it. North America does not. Unlike green-crap holes, America is energy independent.
Too late! The Zanclean Deluge approx. 5.3 million years ago already destroyed the delicate ecology of the small bodies of brackish water and scrublands which had previously dominated the dried-up Mediterranean Basin when the Strait of Gibraltar was opened and just under 1 quintillion (1 x 1018) of gallons of seawater from the Atlantic Ocean came pouring in.
Many rare species of desert scrub were thus driven to extinction!
It is probably already too late to restore those valuable marshlands - but we could at least attempt blocking the Strait of Gibraltar and pumping all of that pesky seawater back into the Atlantic!
The cost would be nominal! (About $2.5 quintillion, given an ideal set-up, average German household electricity costs, and no cost of blocking all points of ingress/egress.)
Maybe governments could impose some sort of tax on something? They're good at that!
Regards,
Hurry! Tax people more, it’s the only way to fix it!
Yeah, I'm still waiting for the glaciers to return and cover the Great Lakes, like Leonard Nimoy predicted in one episode of "In Search Of..." back in the 70s that dealt with this urgent problem!
Regards,
It seems the “collapsing AMOC” is the desperate last ditch measure to inject life into a dying scam. The only thing really collapsing is the Climate Cult protecting the myth.
Alert! Somebody inform CHINA!! Tell them they must change!!
Yes the 70’s. If you lived in the paths of the Great Glaciers it was frightening news. Truly, glaciers can form and advance rapidly. I was so relieved to hear that we had won the war against glaciers and now had a warming.
“Scientists think an $80M wall around ‘Doomsday Glacier’ will slow sea level rise”
Only 80m? Suuuure.
It’s a shame when terrible things like this happen. Now, if only I could get my wedges under the ball, I might be able to get on the greens in regulation.
