Look, I love horror movies and books, especially zombie ones, but, I don’t use them to scaremonger on policy
Infamous disaster scenario can rapidly unfold, study finds
Add another study to the pile of research raising alarms about a looming climate disaster.
Scientists have been closely watching the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) for years. In April, two studies noted the critical current is in danger of weakening or even collapsing due to climate change, which could impact the climate and weather for hundreds of millions of people.
If you missed those studies, you might still know the current from the movie “The Day After Tomorrow,” which took quite a few liberties in its depiction of what would happen if the current suddenly collapsed due to climate change.
Now, a new study released April 29 says the AMOC has changed rapidly in the past, due to “violent volcanic eruptions” that eventually cooled the entire planet.
The current threat to the AMOC isn’t volcanoes, but excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human-caused climate change. According to the lead author of the new study, Lucien Nana Yobo of Texas A&M, his research “shows how sensitive the AMOC is to climate disturbances.”
If so, then why do so few Warmists give up their own carbon footprints? Bueller? Bueller? Nothing like using a doomsday movie to push your cult business.
The most effective means for reducing carbon pollution is NOT for a few individuals to xeto their carbon footprints but instead for evrrone to reduce their carbon footprints. In the USA that jss resulted in the average individual reduction equal to 25% in 25 Years.
Even Teach now drives a partially electrified car!
He will begin selling that 632 mile range solid state nattrry Jonfa in 3.5 Years in 2030
Johnny-what carbon “pollution”?
Why should we care if the AMOC shuts down? So western coastal Europe goes back into an Ice Age.
It’s not like we have any allies there anyway.
So, it’s not Donald Trump’s fault? How can that be?
I appreciate you sharing this blog post. Thanks Again. Cool.
The two studies noted…

Meridionally Consistent Decline in the Observed Western Boundary Contribution to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)
This study uses observational data from four mooring arrays, positioned along the western boundary of the North Atlantic (from 16.5°N to 42.5°N), to examine trends in the deep western overturning transports, derived from the cross-slope gradient in ocean bottom pressure or its equivalent, below and relative to 1000 meters that are linked to changing conditions at the western boundary. We identify a meridionally consistent decline in deep western overturning transport across these latitudes over the past two decades. This decline, observed at the western boundary, may serve as an effective indicator of AMOC weakening…

Observational Constraints Project a ~50% AMOC eWakening by the End of This Century
Climate models suggest a reduction in AMOC strength of 32 – 37% by 2100. To refine this estimate and reduce its uncertainty, we use four different observational constraint methods. The best one gives an estimate of the AMOC slowdown of 51 ± 8% (90% probability), i.e., a weakening ? 60% stronger than suggested by the multimodel mean. This refinement mainly results from correcting a bias in South Atlantic surface salinity…

Scientists have long described the weakening of AMOC, and these two studies strengthen the argument. We will be long dead (and all-naturally decomposing!!) before the AMOC shuts down.
Mr Dana, expressing his TDS, is relieved that Donny Dementia is not disrupting AMOC!
