" Also, we find that rate-induced effects tend to allow a stabilization of the #AMOC in cases where the peak of the West Antarctica Ice Sheet meltwater flux occurs before the peak of the Greenland Ice Sheet meltwater flux."
Ah great. So we should pray for the #WAIS reaching its tipping point before #Greenland 's ice shield melts down to its point of no return? 😁

What I actually wanted to highlight is the circumstance that AMOC is also sensitive to the rate or speed in which freshwater is added, not only to the final amount of it. And this was also found in their study.
I first came across it in a 2021 paper by #Lohmann #Ditlevsen "Abrupt climate change as a rate-dependent cascading tipping point" https://esd.copernicus.org/articles/12/819/2021/esd-12-819-2021.html ,
Peter Ditlevsen being the brother in the sibling duo who in 2023 found a cool way to analyse noisy data in search for impending tipping behaviour and said, AMOC tips 2025-2097.
