When the AMOC ends the consequences for much life on this planet will be devastating. Oh it won't be as sudden as what is pictured in the movie The Day After Tomorrow, but it will be very bad.
“The collapse time is estimated between 2037-2064,” they say. “The probability of an AMOC collapse before the year 2050 is estimated to be 59 per cent ± 17 percent.”
That’s well within the lifespans of the majority of people alive today.
@NorthernInvader what is the IPCC for at this point?
Curious what AMOC shutdown will do to the climate on the East Coast of USA & Canada.
@peeppeepcircus the IPCC made a huge mistake right from the start of allowing #fossilfuel companies to participate in the proceedings. The result of this was massive corporate involvement in IPCC reports and agendas at the IPCC conferences. The latest conference made that clear
The heat circulation created by the AMOC is a major influence on climate along the east coast of the Americas and the west coast of Europe., and more.

do you happen to know what the cold event would do to regions of N America?
I have a better idea of what it will do to Europe from this article below - "It will likely lead to a far colder Northern Europe that will periodically be swept by very hot winds from the south—meaning subject to a "crazy stormy climate" with "absolutely unprecedented weather extremes," in Rahmstorf's words. “ - but I don’t know what will happen in N America.

@peeppeepcircus no I don't. All weather patterns across the planet will be disturbed.
