Atlantic collapse threatens with serious consequences for Europe – researchers warn: “It will be devastating”. In parts of Europe, temperatures could drop by 15 degrees.
This is how the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (Amoc for short) works. In addition to heat, ocean currents also transport nutrients and salt around the globe. This could make it possible to deal with sea levels in the Atlantic and flood coastal cities. In short, short-term climate change is apparently happening.
