Here is Professor Stefan Rahmstorf presentation to the Arctic Council earlier this month on whether the AMOC is Shutting Down? - Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
AMOC shutting down could have a catastrophic impact on Northern Europe including more extreme weather events, but also on sealevels along north American coast, and global impacts with changes in precipitation.

I have still not seen much about AMOC other than here, so firstly I thank Professor Stefan Rahmstor for raising awareness. I have seen about the Jet Stream collapsing, which according to the daily fail could plunge the UK in to very cold conditions.
I am concerned about either or both of these systems collapsing.
I will try and share and boost about this. My site is down at the moment.
@zleap I did a blog about #AMOC collapse here focussed on this open letter by scientists: https://takvera.blogspot.com/2024/10/amoc-collapse-scientists-issue-open.html
Funny enough 20 years ago I became aware of the risk of disruption to global ocean currents. The science has much progressed since then, the risk more real.
