“A full #AMOC collapse would be a massive, planetary-scale disaster” tells PIK scientist @rahmstorf the @NewYorker. “We really want to prevent this from happening.” Interesting article on the fate of #Greenland & what it means for the rest of the Earth.

RT @rahmstorf: The risk of an #AMOC shutdown - explained in 15 minutes at the Arctic Circle in Reykjavik on Saturday.
I had the honor of presenting a letter by 44 experts warning of that underestimated risk to many countries.

🌡️"Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from melting #Arctic sea-ice into the Nordic Seas likely significantly affected ocean circulation, sending temperatures plummeting across northern Europe."

New study indicates that #AMOC slowed down during the last interglacial

- significant cooling in northern Europe
- melting sea-ice main culprit
- in today's @NatureComms

While we wait for #COP29 outcomes, a weekend docu tip: Check out 'Climate Extremes' @climatextremes! With PIKs @rahmstorf, @jrockstrom et al. It's about #tippingelements like #AMOC or the #Amazon & #planetaryboundaries.

#DYK the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) transports warm water to northern latitudes?

Its slowdown can be visualised by the 🔵"cold blob" anomaly in the North Atlantic and the 🔴 warming along the east coast of North America

#CopernicusMarine delivers key data to understand this phenomenon, such as the SST trend 🌡️ for 1993-2021🔽

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: 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.
