A new study from the UK's Met Office and the University of Exeter concludes that the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is unlikely within this century, based on simulations from 34 climate models. While the AMOC could weaken significantly, leading to major climate repercussions, the total shutdown before 2100 was not predicted. This research offers reassurance but warns against complacency, indicating potential impacts on global weather patterns and sea levels due to ongoing climate change.
The AMOC is very likely to weaken this century, and that brings its own major climate impacts.
No simulation showed a total shutdown of the AMOC before 2100, which should be reassuring.
