A major ocean current system in the Atlantic could be about to collapse as soon as 2025, concerning new peer-reviewed research suggests.
The AMOC has only been directly monitored since 2004, which is not long enough to understand the full trajectory of its current slowing trend.
The other early warning sign the researchers considered is"loss of resilience" in the system, which presents as increased fluctuations and variance – like the increasing wobble of a spinning top before it topples over.
