RT @rahmstorf: Here's my thoughts on the latest round of discussion about the slowing of the Atlantic overturning circulation. It's a bit nerdy - short summary: in my view the balance of evidence strongly suggests that the #AMOC has slowed since the late 19th C.

RT @globalcommonshq: ⚠️ Next week join Earth Commission @SafeJustPlanet to learn about something that not enough people are talking about – the possible tipping point of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC).

Hear direct from scientists in a webinar on March 25. 👇

RT @rahmstorf: A new study by van Westen et al. shows that the #tippingpoint of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC is also found in a high-resolution ocean model which resolves ocean eddies. A first, but no surprise to AMOC experts. 🧵 https://t.co/x2KCO43PQw

RT @rahmstorf: We don’t know how close we are to triggering an Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC breakdown - but now we know a lot more about what it would mean for extreme temperatures in Europe. Good @carbonbrief.org piece on a new study by the Dutch colleagues! 🌊

RT @rahmstorf: This important paper passed under the media radar. It analyses a key indicator of the stability of the Atlantic ocean circulation #AMOC, in measured ocean data. It finds that most climate models get this wrong, and thus have an #AMOC that is too stable.

RT @rahmstorf: Fascinating and important for our future: the European Space Agency ESA plans to monitor changes in the Atlantic Ocean Circulation #AMOC from satellite with a new gravity mission.
That is important since the AMOC may be approaching a #tippingpoint.

Possible #AMOC shutdown after 2100 in high-emission future: new study with PIK scientist @rahmstorf finds that this would cut the ocean’s northward heat supply, causing summer drying & winter extremes in NW Europe + shifts in tropical rainfall belts.

RT @rahmstorf: I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports:
for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran
past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100.
Our paper is out today. 🧵 https://t.co/fn4ZDvGCxg

"We found that the tipping point where the shutdown becomes inevitable is probably in the next 10 to 20 years or so. That is ... why we have to act really fast in cutting down emissions,” says PIK's @rahmstorf in @guardian's report on the new #AMOC study: https://t.co/JRhKV4QZKn

🆕 Four key parts of the Earth’s climate system are destabilising. Researchers analysed the interconnections of the #Greenland ice sheet, the #AMOC, the #Amazon rainforest and the South American monsoon system. All four show signs of diminished resilience: https://t.co/ssAYP2YmkR https://t.co/saqywS81Tz

"The science is evolving quite rapidly and time is running out to do anything about it because the tipping point may well be quite close," says PIK's @rahmstorf in this piece on Iceland declaring the potential collapse of the #AMOC a national security risk. 👇

Iceland has declared threat to Atlantic Ocean current a national security risk, a potential collapse of which could trigger a modern-day ice age, with winter temperatures across Northern Europe plummeting to new cold extremes https://t.co/33MOWrq2aS https://t.co/ZhPgbGpWze - Reuters

RT @rahmstorf: Just out today: The report “A Nordic Perspective on AMOC Tipping” reviews the current state of science on the risk of Atlantic Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) shutdown.
Conclusion: it's "a serious risk which requires a dedicated risk management framework". https://t.co/s0wtCl6Nd6
