“In a study that has yet to undergo peer review…” tells you all you need to be concerned about for right now. AMOC is a very complex phenomenon and not easy at all to model. All conclusions should be properly vetted before becoming actual news.
There have been dozens of studies indicating issues with AMOC, but because the latest one has yet to be peer reviewed we should do nothing and ignore all the warning signs
IDK, maybe just this once we act early. What’s the worst that happens, we reduce pollution a bit? We invest too much into scientific research?
The AMOC has been in a lot of trouble for years now. Ironically, it was the cleaning up of shipping cargo oil that may have put the final nail. We stopped using a fuel that emitted SO2 into the atmosphere, but that SO2 actually ended up as a sort of shielding from the full effects of the greenhouse effect happening elsewhere over the Atlantic. Without it, temperatures this year and last year absolutely soared
Oh definitely, there’s a lot of troubling outcomes and I’m glad the research is being done. I just think news reporting on unreviewed results is good for nothing other than fear mongering. And it’s not like that has been effective for other consequences of climate change. Giving people more reasons to ‘give up’ won’t help solve problems.
In my groundbreaking (yet to be peer reviewed) research, Ive found evidence of the Moon being 98% Gouda cheese. The remaining 2% is actually avocado toast

I prefer to be concerned only after I notice the water is boiling.

Nah… this is 2026! You can just say things now! Go back to the 90’s with your scientific integrity, party pooper.
I’m sure gizmodo has it covered

But it’s amazing for clickwhoring.

We need to blow up the moon so millenials can afford rent.
