The Atlantic's Critical Currents

The Atlantic Meridian-Ole overturning circulation or AMOC moves 15 million cubic meters of water per second. A paper published recently in the journal Nature Communications warns that the collapse of the AMOC isn't just possible but imminent. By this team's calculation the circulation could shut down as early as 2025 and no later than 2095. That's a tipping point that would come much sooner than anyone thought.
