The Amoc shutdown, driven by global heating and fresh water influx from melting ice caps, could lead to a dramatic climate shift in the UK, resembling Newfoundland's harsh environment.
If the Amoc shuts down, Britain could face a significant temperature drop of 10C to 15C, leading to a collapse of agriculture and drastic transformations of infrastructure.
While Britain may survive a local agricultural collapse through rationing, the climatic shifts could greatly impact populations in Africa, leading to political and social unrest.
The risk of Amoc's collapse is not negligible. Continuing climate change could increase the chances, necessitating urgent political attention to prevent potential crises.
