What happens if the Atlantic's ocean currents weaken?

Original: AMOC: What if the Atlantic Ocean's currents weaken? - The Climate Question, BBC World Service

The BBC World Service's Climate Question programme is examining the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the system of ocean currents that helps regulate the climate of Europe and North America. Scientists warn that weakening of the AMOC could bring colder winters in Europe, shifting rainfall patterns and rising sea levels along the US east coast, and debate continues over how close the system is to a tipping point.

Why now: Growing scientific concern about climate tipping points has renewed attention on the possible weakening of the AMOC.
