New studies warn Atlantic Ocean current (AMOC) could collapse this century, threatening Europe's climate
By
Von Philipp Lemmerich
Summary
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which functions as a giant heat pump bringing warm tropical waters to Europe, is weakening due to climate change. New studies warn that the AMOC could collapse within this century, potentially causing drastic cooling in Europe, disrupting weather patterns, and leading to severe climate consequences. The article explains the science behind AMOC, its critical role in maintaining Europe's mild climate, and the alarming findings from recent research about its potential tipping point.

· 3 pulledDie atlantische Umwälzzirkulation, kurz AMOC, funktioniert wie eine gigantische Wärmepumpe für Europa.
Eine aktuelle Studie kommt nun zu dem Schluss, dass sich die AMOC durch die Erderwärmung schneller abschwächt als bisher angenommen.
Der Kollaps der AMOC hätte drastische Folgen nicht nur für Europa, sondern für das gesamte globale Klimasystem.
