Thank you! This is a really cogent description of what the AMOC is, how it works, what its slow down means, and a summary of the science in reasonable laymen’s terms. A physicist recently posted about this on LinkedIn, but was unable to articulate what the “shutdown” meant and why it is a concern.
Every once in a while, I feel like it’s a duty to try to decipher issues like this and post them. I always shoot for something I UNDERSTAND, which means everyone else will, too. The bar ain’t too high with me in that regard. 😁 Thanks for reading, you’ve validated my reason for posting this. People rant about “climate change”, but AMOC is specific and the science is good.
