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 # Clim
New reporting warns that key Atlantic Ocean currents, including the system best known as AMOC, could collapse this century, with severe consequences for weather patterns in Europe, North America and beyond. Despite the scale of the threat, almost no national climate plans account for this risk, prompting scientists and commentators to call for tipping points to be treated as central rather than peripheral in climate policy.
Why now: A newly published warning about a potential Atlantic current collapse within this century is drawing attention to a major gap in government climate planning.
