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.

Will You-rope embrace the Rooskies to stay warm?
We’re doomed before King Hakeem and his butt boy Chunky Schumer can conquer America.
Wasn’t Detroit under a mile of ice a few years back?
Oh no. Thats terrible. Why has no one warned us. Whatever shall we do.
Another hissy fit for Greta.
Without the full Gulf streamm, the EU will have perpetual winter...
Now, when the Ruskies cut off that gas pipeline, NATO is in a heap of trouble...
All those moslems will learn to live in subzero temperatures...
Guess we need to get busy producing more CO2.
....”prepare now ....”. Oh, okay. Fookin’ idjits!
Just looked at map with temps it’s still freezing in Canada
Can’t take much... more... doom porn. I can’t get much harder.
The green movement is a doomsday cult. They need deep programming.
The decline in the Atlantic Meridonal Oscillation is scarier than being stabbed on the subway by a lunatic released from detention by Biden . Actually no, let’s fix the lunatic problem first.
Newsmax reported that the owner of The Atlanta is Steve Jobs’ widow. She is a donor to SPLC. She is close with Hillary.
Connect the dots, right?
Weak or not, I don’t see it collapsing.
Currents are caused by temperature, salinity, and density differences and affected by the Coriolis Effect.
When the water is uniform in temperature, salinity, and thereby density, and the earth stops spinning, then we’d have a problem.
I’ll sleep well tonight.

I think the only way to fix this is with extensive studies and by raising taxes.
This is probably true. Some suspect this was the real cause of the younger Dryas episode.
So much for the Globull Warming hoax if the AMOC collapses.
More like a return to a Glacial Maximum type climate.
CO2 ain’t got nothin’ ta do with that!
But I’m not going to worry about that either or anything else the exspurts predict for 74+ years in the future.
And lots of wife and brother-in-law consulting contracts!
Now they're claiming the loss of the Gulf Stream will cause Global Cooling in Europe and North America and cause sea levels to rise, drowning the beaches and the cities along the coast...
Which is it?
