Atlantic currents aren’t some distant risk.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is already weakening, and if it tips, the consequences are real: a colder Europe, disrupted food systems, frozen ports, energy shortages.
This isn’t a 2100 problem.
It’s happening now. 😔

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.
In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.
Most people have no idea. 🧵

Iceland deems possible Atlantic current collapse a security risk
Iceland has designated the potential collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current system a national security concern and an existential threat, enabling its government to strategize for worst-case scenarios, the country's climate minister told Reuters.

You are unusual
In these parts,

And I wonder
Are you a welcome visitor
Or an ominous sign?
Do you drop white from the heavens for reasons of beauty,
Or are you laying the foundations for what is to come?

Effondrement de l'AMOC : ce que cela changerait pour l'Europe
En cas d'effondrement, l'AMOC cesserait de réchauffer l'Europe du Nord-Ouest : hivers glaciaux malgré un monde à +2 °C, étés caniculaires persistants, sécheresses accrues, tempêtes amplifiées et 50 à 100 cm de mer en plus autour de l'Atlantique. Ce scénario à fort impact reste incertain, alors que seul le ralentissement est jugé très probable.

I'd be very interested in how #Thrutopian thought tackles #AMOCCollapse? Do you tell the truth or will it freeze people into inaction.
Its certainly going to be colder.
A number of forecasts also suggest less rainfall for the UK, -40°C winters & 40% less arable land.

LOL, Younger Dryas occurred 12,000 years ago. You mean a Dansgaard–Oeschger event, of which YD is the most recent. (You are probably confused because you are not a scientist.) D-O events don't normally happen during interglacial periods. But it is the anthropocene now, so... #AMOCcollapse
