Atlantic current collapse risk absent from national climate plans
Original: Key Atlantic currents could collapse this century, but the risk is missing from almost all national climate plans
New reporting warns that key Atlantic Ocean currents, including the system known as AMOC, could collapse at some point this century, with severe consequences for weather patterns in Europe, North America and beyond. Despite the scale of the threat, almost none of the national climate plans submitted under international agreements account for this risk. Scientists are calling for the possibility of shutdown to be treated as a serious planning scenario rather than a remote tail risk.
Why now: Fresh warnings that a major ocean circulation collapse this century is being ignored by governments have raised alarm among climate watchers.
