This Could Be It

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought

Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

The Amoc is a major part of the global climate system and brings sun-warmed tropical water to Europe and the Arctic, where it cools and sinks to form a deep return current. A collapse would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50-100cm to already rising sea levels around the Atlantic.

Prof Stefan Rahmstorf, at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, said: “This is an important and very concerning result. It shows that the ‘pessimistic’ models, which show a strong weakening of the Amoc by 2100, are, unfortunately, the realistic ones, in that they agree better with observational data.”

Soon the planet won't be able to support this world of shit & pain you fools made for yourselves. Not soon enough for me, however. If only I could be there to see you all deservedly freeze &/or drown because of your foolishness. Well, I'll piss on your graves from my grave. Except there won't be any graves, just skeletons frozen in the ice. Ha ha ha from The Coast where people can live. No climate refugees needed!
