Atlantic Ocean circulation nearing ‘devastating’ tipping point, study finds | Oceans | The Guardian (Me: movie… Day After Tomorrow coming true?)

The circulation of the Atlantic Ocean is heading towards a tipping point that is “bad news for the climate system and humanity”, a study has found.

The scientists behind the research said they were shocked at the forecast speed of collapse once the point is reached, although they said it was not yet possible to predict how soon that would happen.

Using computer models and past data, the researchers developed an early warning indicator for the breakdown of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (Amoc), a vast system of ocean currents that is a key component in global climate regulation.

They found Amoc is already on track towards an abrupt shift, which has not happened for more than 10,000 years and would have dire implications for large parts of the world.

Amoc, which encompasses part of the Gulf Stream and other powerful currents, is a marine conveyer belt that carries heat, carbon and nutrients from the tropics towards the Arctic Circle, where it cools and sinks into the deep ocean. This churning helps to distribute energy around the Earth and modulates the impact of human-caused global heating.

Carnaval é um momento onde a alegria eclode. Então, vamos brincar de uma forma segura , e respeitando sempre as pessoas que estão ao nosso lado. Vamos brincar no Bloco Do Respeito? Assim todos nos divertimos. Mas lembre-se: Pegar na sua cintura, beijar você sem sem consentimento é assédio, viu?

NÃOÉNÃO!
