Who needs Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters when we have the BBC.

One perennial fear is a potential collapse of a crucial system of ocean currents known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). A few scientists are ‘out there’ predicting an increasing chance of a...

This wouldn’t be so bad if they admitted the uncertainty. Instead, the article plays a game of "it’s probably not happening, but it totally could!" For instance, the IPCC says they have "medium confidence" that AMOC will...

We should finally stop scaring people in the Atlantic, it doesn’t work with enlightened citizens like you, dear readers.

Another nail in the coffin of climate models? A study published in Nature suggests there is no evidence for a decline in AMOC over the last 60 years.

The current slowing of the AMOC is simply part of a natural oscillating dynamic. Its current slowdown will soon increase Arctic sea-ice and lower temperatures naturally without crazy Net Zero mandates or Gate’s sun blocking....

In a recent open letter, researchers warned that a warmer Arctic could lead to cold waves across Northern Europe – due to “complex feedback mechanisms”.

the perceived weakening of the AMOC may be nothing more than an artifact of data misinterpretation.

This is good climate news that will hopefully dissuade people from climate doomism.”

...the supposed AMOC tipping point will not occur until 1758 years from now, in the year 3782 AD

All these changes were the result of natural processes. There is no evidence that these will change in future.

“[I]f these models cannot reproduce past variations, why should we be so confident about their ability to predict the future?”

ANY estimate of the timing of a “tipping point” must take the uncertainties into account, which are so substantial that they are all unsound when made.

Data collected directly in the Atlantic Ocean thus do not provide any support for the IPCC's forecasts of an ongoing collapse of the AMOC.

In fact, based on the limited data, the authors have no way of knowing whether the AMOC speeds up and down cyclically on a multidecadal or multi-century basis, or whether a steady state is the norm.
