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 https:
New warnings say key Atlantic Ocean currents, including the system that helps regulate Northern Hemisphere climate, could collapse before the end of the century. Researchers note that despite the potential for severe impacts on weather, sea levels and agriculture, this risk is absent from nearly all national climate adaptation plans. Commenters are highlighting the gap between scientific assessments and government planning.
Why now: Fresh scientific findings on a possible AMOC collapse this century contrast sharply with the lack of government contingency planning, prompting debate.
