Study Finds Atlantic Current Collapse Unlikely This Century

A new study using 34 climate models suggests a complete collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is unlikely this century, although a significant weakening is probable, leading to considerable climate impacts but not a European ice age.

How does this study's methodology and focus differ from previous research on AMOC collapse, and what accounts for the differing conclusions?

The study's findings contrast with previous predictions of imminent AMOC collapse. The researchers found that even under extreme climate change scenarios, a secondary current in the Antarctic Ocean would likely maintain the AMOC, albeit weakened, until 2100. This contrasts with studies focusing solely on the North Atlantic.

AMOC Slowdown: Europe Faces Colder, Drier Future

New research suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) ocean current could slow by 20-81% due to climate change, potentially leading to colder, drier weather and accelerated sea level rise in Europe, although a complete shutdown is deemed unlikely.

What factors contribute to the AMOC's resilience, even with global warming?

The study, published in Nature, examined 34 future scenarios and found the AMOC unlikely to completely stop, yet a significant slowdown would have similar global consequences to a complete collapse, causing extreme cooling in Europe and reduced rainfall. While increased wind may partially sustain the current, the effects of reduced salinity from melting ice remain a major concern.

AMOC Weakening Unlikely to Collapse This Century, But Impacts Remain Severe

A new study in Nature suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) will weaken this century due to climate change, but a full collapse is unlikely due to Southern Ocean upwelling; however, a weaker AMOC will still significantly impact global climate.

What are the immediate and specific impacts of the AMOC weakening, even without a complete collapse?

A new study published in Nature suggests that while the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is expected to weaken this century, a complete collapse is unlikely. The research, using 34 climate models under extreme conditions, indicates that persistent upwelling in the Southern Ocean driven by strong westerly winds compensates for AMOC weakening. This mechanism prevents a total collapse, even under extreme climate scenarios.
