Collapse of the AMOC - world changing

[POIDH]

News that this is now a overwhelming probability within our kids lives, and of course it's likely the change is already happening.
Genuine global consequences for northern Europe, North and South America.

Biggest news of the last couple of weeks that perhaps means the Orange Turd's antics pale into insignificance - or overjoyed and we can transform in a lifetime?

wow.

Even Geordies will have to wear jackets.

Might need to reopen them coal mines to keep warm

[Terminator X]

Ah a prediction through to 2100 so it can't be fact checked for 75 years

TX.

I was wondering why the collapse of the Aston Martin Owners Club was global news

[Earthdweller]

Cool !

Skiing on Ilkley Moor .. bah tat

[Kawasicki]

Climate crisis! Ooooooh!

[Diderot]

“Climate scientists use dozens of different computer models to assess the future climate. However, for the complex Amoc system, these produce widely varying results, ranging from some that indicate no further slowdown by 2100 to those suggesting a huge deceleration of about 65%, even when carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning are gradually cut to net zero.”

Guardian just love the term 'collapse', they manage to wedge it into every article. No modulation, every event predicted by some model or other must be an absolute one

But it goes on to say that the most reliable models are those that also use fact checked data (checking the sea itself i assume) and it is these that are looking more accurate.

I’m fairly sure they are just now reusing headlines from a few years back.

[Skodillac]

Imagine the winter tyres threads.

[Sport_Turismo_GTS]

Is it worth than they first thought and we’ve reached a tipping point?

[rdjohn]

I was wondering what was happening to AMOC the Aston-Martin Owners Club.

It’s Pistonheads, ya know

[Earthdweller]

Im just delighted that since the year 2000 London has been transformed into Venice and I can use my speedboat to commute to work along the strand

[Roofless Toothless]

Ah, but it’s geomagnetic reversal that worries me …

To be filed in the Gore/Viner/Wadhams folder.

I too thought it was the demise of the red trouser wearing brigade.

If the AMOC “collapses” we are (apparently) likely to see more winter storms and more dunkelflaute periods in other seasons. Precisely the worst possible outcome for wind generation.

No doubt Ed has this in hand….

....don't worry, the intellectual collosus Ed is working on piggy backing electric motors onto wind turbines to keep them spinning

Quick - fire up the private jets so we can hold another climate conference!
