#AMOC collapse will have catastrophic consequences. Predictions are:

- Colder around #Polar #NorthAtlantic
- Hotter in #Africa, S. & C. #America
- #SeaLevelRise ~ 1m on the shores of the #Atlantic
- Loss of #vegetation & #arable_land, #drought & #famine in #Europe & Africa
- Collapse of #marine_life and #seafood
- Global #food_crisis
- Large parts of #Amazon rain #forests turn into #grasslands
- #CO2 rise in the #atmosphere due to loss of #carbon_sinks (#Phytoplanktons, Amazon)

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) is a massive #ocean_current in the #AtlanticOcean, driven by #temperature and #salinity changes (#thermohaline circulation). It influences global #weather significantly:

- Warms up #Arctic, East #Canada, #BritishIsles & #Nordic region
- Cools down #GulfofMexico, #Amazon & #Africa
- Drives #rains in all these regions
- Supports a huge #plankton #biomass, that:
- Supports higher #marine_life
- Acts as #CO2 #carbon_sink.
