There’s lots of misinformation on this topic. Yes, this stopping would be bad for Europe but hardly any apocalypse scenario. Here a scientist break it down : https://youtu.be/tnVWUIhQ8dE?si=3WHusDe8X3_Q35Ah
We are a plague on this blue ball spinning through space
Not really a problem for the blue ball though, they’ve been through worse.
Maybe let’s consider fixing the climate? Just a thought
Just to be clear, we are well beyond the tipping point, have fallen off the cliff, and watching the Atlantic currents collapse is like seeing rocks hitting the ground before you do. “Oh, look, the ground approaches rapidly, and everything that hits it at this speed will be pulverized.”
global tipping point, yes, buy when the Atlantic Conveyor breaks down, that’s very special tipping point that fucks up a lot of things severely and quickly…
The Atlantic Conveyor will not stop. It will stop going to Europe though https://youtu.be/tnVWUIhQ8dE?si=3WHusDe8X3_Q35Ah
Right, but calling it a tipping point implies we have a chance to prevent it.
Like in a movie where the bus is teetering on the edge of a cliff, and there’s an anvil falling from the sky about to hit the back of the bus and knock it over the edge, you wouldn’t say “Well the bus has almost reached its tipping point.”
Or maybe a better analogy is a set of dominoes where you are looking at this one domino that knocks down the grand finale, but the dominoes leading to that one are already falling and have been for a long time. The collapse of the Atlantic conveyor is not the start of a chain reaction, it’s just one really big link.
