A crucial system of ocean currents is heading for a collapse that 'would affect every person on the planet' | CNN

A vital system of ocean currents in the Atlantic could collapse within a few decades – an event that would be catastrophic for global weather and “affect every person on the planet.”

    Tror du læser forkert, det citat henviser til tidligere vurderinger - deres egen vurdering er: “Here we provide statistical significance and data-driven estimators for the time of tipping. We estimate a collapse of the AMOC to occur around mid-century under the current scenario of future emissions.”

    Her er et citat fra diskussionen: “We predict with high confidence the tipping to happen as soon as mid-century (2025–2095 is a 95% confidence range). These results are under the assumption that the model is approximately correct, and we, of course, cannot rule out that other mechanisms are at play, and thus, the uncertainty is larger. However, we have reduced the analysis to have as few and sound assumptions as possible, and given the importance of the AMOC for the climate system, we ought not to ignore such clear indicators of an imminent collapse.”

    Så det er altså rimelig korrekt rapporteret af CNN.
