Episode Description
In this Climate Emergency Forum episode the alarming new science on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) – the “mother of all tipping points” is discussed. This includes the reason why the AMOC is weakening, how massive freshwater from Greenland melt and the Arctic is destabilizing the system, and why several recent studies now suggest a coin-flip chance of a severe AMOC shutdown this century.
