What an AMOC Collapse Would Mean for North America's Coast
Original: Everything We Know About AMOC Collapse — And the Threat to North America's Coast
Attention is turning to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the ocean current system that helps regulate the climate of North America and Europe. New explainer coverage outlines the science behind a potential AMOC collapse, including warning signs from freshwater melt in the North Atlantic and the projected consequences for sea levels along the North American coast, which could rise sharply if the circulation weakens or shuts down. Scientists continue to debate how likely such a collapse is this century, but public concern about the tipping point is clearly growing.
Why now: Fears that climate change could trigger an AMOC tipping point have pushed the topic into mainstream discussion.
