Climate crisis: Scientists spot warning signs of Gulf Stream collapse
A shutdown would have devastating global impacts and must not be allowed to happen, researchers say

Scientists fear a critical Atlantic Ocean system might collapse, triggering 'extreme cold' and sea level rise

Scientists are worried the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a "critical aquatic conveyer belt" that drives currents in the Atlantic Ocean, is at risk of near-complete collapse due to climate change, The Washington Post reports.

A shutdown of the crucial circulation system could "bring extreme cold to Europe and parts of North America, raise sea levels along the U.S. East Coast, and disrupt seasonal monsoons that provide water to much of the world," the Post reports. The effects, in short, would be devastating.

Scientists previously believed the AMOC would in fact weaken this century, but didn't imagine total collapse within the next 300 years except in absolute worst-case warming scenarios. Now, according to a new study, that critical threshold "is most likely much closer than we would have expected," said Niklas Boers, the study's author and a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Any exact date, however, is still unknown.

WE'RE ALL GUNNA DIE, so give all your money, liberty, and loyalty to the Nazi democrat party....

Climatology, just a tad bit less legitimate of a science than Astrology.

How much do we need to raise taxes by this time to fix this?
 
Want to solve the climate crisis?


Take every one who is whining and lying and parroting and opposite of on them.

Climate crisis solved.


Co2 is not the cause of earth climate change.


This idiot is parroting colder = sea level rise.....

Wrong. 180 degrees wrong.

That the taxpayer funded this crap is a huge outrage.
 
Sounds like we better cut all power to Democrat homes then. Imagine how much global warming could be avoided.



Wouldn't have to do that in my state.

We don't get our energy from fossil fuel.

We started shutting down our last coal fire plant in 2005. I'm sure it's either close to or completed being shutdown by now.

We get most of our energy from water. The rest comes from wind, solar, nuclear and natural gas though it's not used to make electricity.

My state has one of the largest wind farms in the nation. We started building it in the 90s.

The result is that when the system first came on line, it generated too much energy for the existing grid to handle.

So we voted to increase our taxes to build a new grid.

The result of that is we have more energy than we use. We sell the excess to other states for a profit. Our air and environment is cleaner than it was and we have the second lowest electric rates in the nation.

And we don't have a system like Texas that breaks down leaving people to die.

The only time anyone loses power here is from a storm knocking the electrical lines down. But that's only in areas with those lines above ground. The areas where the lines are buried, rarely if ever lose power.

What state is that?
 
Horsefeathers ... the AMOC is very weak compared to surface currents ... and surface currents are wind driven ... as long as the wind blows, the Gulf Stream will continue ...

Colder water doesn't cause sea level rise, Admiral Tory is right, CO2 doesn't effect gravity ... so the article lied about that, what else does it lie about? ...

Some people sure do want to believe the stupidest things ...
