I just watched New Scientist’s excellent, and frightening, new explainer video about the AMOC ocean current that moves heat through the Atlantic. It’s why we may be dangerously close to locking in colossal, irreversible changes to the planets climate, which could happen rapidly over just a couple of decades and then change the planet’s climate for many centuries.
“Dozens of metres” of sea level rise is mentioned as a real possibility over the coming centuries, should AMOC falter and cause the release of a lot of the carbon we burned that’s so far been soaked into the oceans.
It felt eerily like I could be watching a slow-motion global-scale version of the start of today’s awful, catastrophic flood in Nepal and Tibet.
Every politician that’s been sabotaging efforts to decarbonise our economies should watch this video. Every voter should be thinking about this at elections.
