Atlantic Ocean circulation nears tipping point: study

A study warns that the Atlantic Ocean's circulation system, the AMOC, is approaching a tipping point with dire consequences for the climate and humanity. Rapid melting of Greenland's glaciers and Arctic ice obstructs the system, which has weakened by 15% since 1950, according to the study. Computer models indicate a potential collapse within a century, triggering sea level rise, Amazon rainforest shifts, and erratic global temperatures. While timing remains uncertain, irreversible changes loom. Urgent action is needed to address climate change, emphasising the gravity of the situation and the imperative for immediate action.
