"In October, the government classified the AMOC collapse as a national security risk. It amounts to a reckoning with national survival."
And a major #AMOC change would seriously impact the world at large, even the tropics - not just Iceland. 🌊

"We are keen to know, when you see evidence like we’ve laid out above, and then these scientists see political leaders on both sides of the Atlantic seeking to deny reality, deny physics, deny data, deny their very work - what on earth goes through their mind?" #AMOC #climatebreakdown #C4News

Just out today: The report “A Nordic Perspective on AMOC Tipping” reviews the current state of science on the risk of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ( #AMOC) shutdown.
Conclusion: it's "a serious risk which requires a dedicated risk management framework".

What was once seen as a distant climate risk is becoming a real security concern. The destabilisation of the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC has national and global implications. In this article, PIK Director Johan Rockström and Iceland’s Climate Minister Jóhann Páll Jóhannsson outline what can be done about it. 👇

Ocean waters are aging? What?
Yes: we oceanographers call 'age' the time since deep ocean water was last in touch with the atmosphere. It is a measure of 'ventilation', deep vertical overturning of the ocean.
Data show this process is slowing: #AMOC slowdown.
That is bad news for climate, and there is a serious risk of the AMOC crossing a tipping point in the next few decades towards an unstoppable shutdown. One of the worst-case climate change nightmares.
