Meltwater from Antarctica may "put a lid" of freshwater on the Southern Ocean and thereby trap heat there leading to enhanced melting.

The #AMOC by 2100 will thus be so weak (~8 Sv) that it is very likely on the way to full shutdown, as our study last year showed: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
In my view, this now makes a full #AMOC shutdown more likely than not. Definitely not a low likelihood risk, as we used to think.

For the future, the risk of #AMOC shutdown won't mostly come from meltwater discharge. Many of the standard CMIP6 future climate scenarios shut down the AMOC without even including Greenland mass loss, just from the CO2 emissions effect on ocean & atmosphere. 3/3

Just attended Nordic Tipping Week to discuss the latest science on the AMOC tipping point and its societal impacts. Now I’m feeling some serious post-conference anguish. Being back in a world pretending everything’s normal is exhausting. The cognitive dissonance is heavy.

Great, intense conference during the Nordic Tipping Week in Helsinki and Rovaniemi 🇫🇮 last week.
Climate scientists, fisheries experts, social researchers, and policy makers came together to discuss what an #AMOC weakening or collapse could mean for the Nordic region and the rest of the world.

De Vlaamse politicoloog denkt dat de Europese Unie over zijn hoogtepunt heen is. Ik heb liever een terugkeer naar een Europa waarin duidelijk is dat elke staat opnieuw voor zijn zelfbehoud moet knokken.
