Threads user claims South Atlantic AMOC circulation has failed due to pollution
Summary
A Threads post by Danny Snead argues that the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) system is failing not in the North Atlantic, but in the South Atlantic, where currents appear disconnected from circulation. The author claims that human pollution has disrupted a system that takes a thousand years to complete a cycle, suggesting the ocean is reaching its limit from absorbing heat and pollution.

· 4 pulledI do not see any currents in the South Atlantic connecting the AMOC, or the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation system.
We've been focusing so much on the North Atlantic, when the South Atlantic is the failure.
The AMOC takes one thousand years to complete a cycle and we killed it in a few decades of reckless and unchecked pollution.
The ocean takes what we give it, heat bombs and all, and I imagine it's just about done.
