A new study suggests that the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”

Well that’s not ideal…
No, it’s not. That means those who are born after 2050 are guaranteed to witness a catastrophic climatic event in their lifetime… Those could well be my grandchildren (if they’re ever born). I’m already suggesting my son not to have kids in the future, if things don’t radically change.
