ClimateAdam - Our Oceans Are Tipped To Collapse: Can we still act?
Climate change is driving a crucial ocean current close to collapse. As global warming heats our planet, it's slowing down the vast Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation - or AMOC. And scientists fear that it could reach a tipping point - effectively shutting down this ocean circulation, and causing rapid climate change and disasters across the world: brutally cold European winters; sea level surges in America; and disrupted monsoon rains. But what do we actually understand about our risks of an AMOC tipping point? How big are the risks as our climate changes? And can we still act to protect ourselves?

Dr Gilbz - This critical climate system is tipping…. Or is it?
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation - or AMOC - is one of the world's most vital ocean currents, transporting water, heat and carbon around the planet. It's part of the "global conveyor belt" that keeps our planet moving.
And scientists are warning that it could be weakening - with terrible consequences for humanity.
But... is it?? What's behind the contrasting headlines? Let's dig in

Is the amoc in actual danger of collapse? It seems that is some dispute.

David-acct:
The phrase "It seems that is some dispute." is so vague, innocuous, and meaningless that it seems that you really have nothing to debate.
The text descriptions of the two videos on the OP suggest that the videos are examining the debate.
The article that you link to is over a year old (and is paywalled).
Do you have any purpose in commenting here other than attempting to spread FUD on climate science? Your track record on serious, honest debate is pretty weak.
The 'Gulf Stream' warms Northern Europe. Doesn't it also cool the Gulf of Mexico? So if the AMOC slows down, wouldn't that excess heat empower Gulf-charged storms in the Midwestern and Southern States of the U.S., such as those characterized by tornadoes and hail? It seems to me it would, but I don't hear much about that.

I saw a newspaper article that the Gulfcor Mexico has warmed daster than rhe glibal average for the past decade The article did not mention the Meridional Current but it was not written by a scientist.
Thank you. In News Roundup #20, an article by Jeff Masters.
