An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely and closer than before as a new complex computer simulation finds a "cliff-like" tipping point looming in the future.
A long-worried nightmare scenario, triggered by Greenland's ice sheet melting from global warming, still is at least decades away if not longer, but maybe not the centuries that it once seemed, a new study in Friday's Science Advances finds. The study, the first to use complex simulations and include multiple factors, uses a key measurement to track the strength of vital overall ocean circulation, which is slowing.
A collapse of the current—called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation or AMOC—would change weather worldwide because it means a shutdown of one of key the climate and ocean forces of the planet. It would plunge northwestern European temperatures by 9 to 27 degrees (5 to 15 degrees Celsius) over the decades, extend Arctic ice much farther south, turn up the heat even more in the Southern Hemisphere, change global rainfall patterns and disrupt the Amazon, the study said. Other scientists said it would be a catastrophe that could cause worldwide food and water shortages.
Yep- it’s just an average- many years there wouldn’t be any flooding- or ‘hundred year severe flooding’- the left though will point out multiple instances in a short period and claim ‘disasters are gettign worse due to man’
HOAX!
More meaningless fear porn from the modelers. The AMOC has well known fluctuations in strength, basically a cyclic process, and the current itself is driven by the earth’s rotation, not by climate at all. The tip-off is the tipping point. Whenever you hear this fictional concept used, make sure you have a grip on your wallet.
Yep- it is the world’s biggest lie- and the left is spending so much time effort and money to deceive people the world over- because it means unlimited power and $$ to them
I say all the windmills are slowing the wind and causing the problems.
They can’t even predict whether the East Coast will get a snowstorm two days from now. So I cannot take any of this very seriously.
Increased volcanic activity on Iceland is another factor that doesn't fit their fake narrative.
“still is at least decades away if not longer”
The climate prognosticators found a new approach! Projecting results they won’t be around for either way.
That’s the trouble with made-up corporatespeak: You never know when you’ve picked a future plandemic strain for your company name.
It seems to me if the ice sheet melts and it slows down the currents slow causing the temperatures to drop ⦠causing the ice sheet to stop melting and probably expand ⦠it would cause the current to speed up again and the temperature to rise â¦
ItâÂÂs almost like the Earth regulates its temperature ⦠ð¤Â
I am sure that you are aware of the facts that;
GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES GLOBAL FREEZING!
The almighty computer simulation told us.
I refuse to do that; my left hand is the one I use to hold my pecker when I take a leak, the right hand is for zipper ONLY!
“IT’S A BIG CLUB, AND YOUR NOT IN IT”, but can I be in your little club (I like breathing).
That's going to require a Biden level of understanding for my meager brain to comprehend.

Once the dead white slaveholder radicals are done tearing down statues and renaming high schools, they will turn their attention to renaming Greenland and Iceland to be more "climate appropriate."
