Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought

Anyone who’s been to the Texas coast can attest to this lmao. Unbearable heat and humidity.

it will become more deader.

More intense hurricanes

Well, probably best to have some Maine lobster, because they're probably won't be any before to long.

Uninsurable housing

Sea level rise by 50-100cm

Best we can do is decommission weather satellites

In particular, the most obvious place that will get hotter will be the Atlantic hurricane-forming region, which means Atlantic hurricanes will get much worse.

Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, chalk this one up to some more winning. But why does it matter? The people destroying the world will be dead. *cries in my children’s future*

The effects of this are already painfully obvious. The sporadic, unseasonal, and enduring heat waves are evidence of the complete breakdown of the jet streams, which carry cold air from the North Pole southward. BOE in 2026/27 will accelerate this. Good luck, folks.

And I'm guessing London doesn't get the benefit of a Chinook that will take it from -30 to +20 in two days in the middle of January. Nothing quite like like Frostbite -> T-shirt and Shorts -> Frostbite in the course of a regular working week😂

There is a public park in London with palm trees. Despite being North of Calgary or Winterpeg. The ocean is directly responsible for this.

20 degrees summers would be a blessing in southern europe

I am referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.2-kiloyear_event?wprov=sfti1 The 4.2 kiloyear event is speculated to have been a major contributing factor to the collapse of several kingdoms of the ancient world. It was the worst drought in history, lasting nearly two centuries. The leading theory on the cause of the 4.2 kiloyear event is that the AMOC either weakened significantly during this time, or perhaps collapsed outright.

I think you guys basically are the same thing, which actually raises a salient point. Hunter gatherer societies were on a pre-civilizational scale, with the low population helping to reinforce a cooperative communal system - everyone knows one another, everyone has a role to play, everyone is necessary to the function of the group, and the value of individual humans are, while not fully equal, highly levelized, as well as elevated. As civilization forms, that dynamic breaks down with the increase in population, which fosters inequality (as the value of any given individual plummets and makes possible high degrees of exploitation) and promotes systems like capitalism, that both begets and is fed by a large, ever growing population pool. We've evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to work best in communities of several dozen to maybe a couple hundred. So we're destined to shit the bed when there are this many of us. We may evolve to better deal with it, which will likely take hundreds of thousands of years more and multiple civilizational collapses. We can lower our population and/or fragment it into much smaller, mentally and socially healthier groups. Or we can just accept the current dysfunctional dynamic of a large, unwieldy civilization, an environment that we are fundamentally maladapted to.

Hunter gatherer societies hunted every macrofauna they could find to extinction so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Needs more cowbell.

I have bad news for you….
