New over at climatetippingpoints.info: 'News Explainer: Is the AMOC closer to collapse than thought?'

The first of a new occassional 'News Explainer' series, briefly summarising recent news on climate tipping points (and checking how well the media reported it).

First up, a paper by Portmann et al. constraining future AMOC decline, but does it show that collapse is more likely than thought?

The five short films of Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops educate viewers on key feedback loops greatly accelerating climate change.

Our free lessons for this series cover the important ecological roles of forests, permafrost, atmosphere. albedo, and regreening. The regreening lesson is solutions-focused and full of hope!

These lessons are designed for gr 9-12 and adult/higher ed. The lessons & films are all free.

@novafuture You might benefit from studying #TippingPoints and #ClimateCrisis roots~effects. Dr James Hansen, a leading climatologist, factors in #MilankovitchCycles for his equations, while more obvious geopolitical swings toward authoritarian autocracies around the globe, lend themselves to #EmergingEconomies like safer climate zones, as the prerogative now.

Good luck to you and yours.

@theguardian You're targeting #EmergingEconomies in #DevelopingCountries - especially if you have children, since the US is now past crucial root infrastructure #TippingPoints

Just the last presidential election alone, with obvious ignorance far outweighing #sustainable #pragmatism, proves the Rome-like fall the US is in the middle of. You don't need overwhelming enviro or conflict datasets to prove an essential regression-to-the-mean, is in order.

"Measurements by buoys at four latitudes in the western Atlantic provide the strongest evidence yet that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is weakening."

"Between 2004 and 2023, the AMOC weakened by about 10 per cent."

The Fork in the Road
We are at a Shakespearean "tide in the affairs of men." The technology is here, the economics finally add up, and the urgency is staring us in the face. Will we choose the path of collapse, or are we smart enough to take the roadmap to a sustainable century? Watch to find out how we can turn the "catastrophic" into the "profitable."

Re (2/n)

...and #GAI to determine, the interdependencies
between these at least 9 (!) #TippingPoints, are unfathomable, at the very least quantitatively speaking.

s/: Oh, and save the best for last, #ClimateChange might(?) even without them be still accelerating, as the single outspoken #ClimateResearcher published in the summer of 2023:

Of course not, that was half a century ago and they could hardly have known back then what #BigOilKnew:

However, all I've said above, just scratches important parts of the surface.

I haven't even mentioned the biggest threat to our current #Biosphere and the "#Humanophile" present climate, the at least 5 major climate #TippingPoints:
