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.
