Is global warming tipping key Atlantic ocean currents towards ‘collapse’?
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a vast system of ocean currents that helps to distribute heat around the world.
By transporting warm water from the #tropics northwards and cold water back southwards, the #AMOC keeps #Europe warm and plays a role in controlling global #rainfall.
It connects into an even larger network of #ocean currents that continuously moves #water, #nutrients and #carbon around the world.
Now, the AMOC is under threat from human-caused #ClimateChange, as warming seas, melting ice and increased rainfall upset the temperature and salt balance of the North Atlantic.

Fossilized coral seacliff, late afternoon, Atiu coastline, Cook Islands, South Pacific. May 1990. Atiu's coral reef grows directly from the shoreline and encircles the island. Eruptions from an undersea volcano have raised the inner portion of the reef to form these fossilized coral cliffs.

NHC:
"At 1100 PM HST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Kiko was located
near latitude 13.7 North, longitude 133.0 West. Kiko is moving
toward the west near 8 mph (13 km/h) and this general motion is
expected to continue through Thursday night. A turn toward the
west-northwest is expected on Friday, with a gradual increase in
forward speed expected over the weekend as Kiko approaches the
Hawaiian Islands from the east.
Maximum sustained winds are near 145 mph (230 km/h) with higher
gusts. Kiko is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Little change in strength is forecast during
the next day or so, followed by gradual weakening Friday
through the weekend." -

Hurricane Erick
NHC: "The environment ahead of Erick remains highly conducive for
additional strengthening, with sea surface temperatures near 29 C,
low vertical wind shear, and abundant mid-level moisture. Several dynamic regional models project Erick to reach major hurricane strength before landfall, and the Rapid Intensification (RI)
guidance continues to indicate a significant chance for rapid
strengthening within the next 36 hours. "#hurricane #tropics #tropicalwx #erick #hurricanerick

Current forecast intensity for Erick is Not Great. Lots of models predicting CAT2, maybe CAT3.

Bracewell et al. find a latitudinal gradient in successional dynamics: tropics are highly stochastic, and temperate zones show clearer progression influenced by early colonizers. This reveals biogeographic variation in community development.

An "oldie" (2019 paper) but a real baddie - the danger of #clouds, particularly #stratocumulus clouds in the #subtropics, disappearing (!), is real, and really frightening. According to the most accurate (and afaik only) modeling done about this, if #CO2 reaches 1200 ppm - which it is predicted to do by mainstream #climate models in 100 years - a #TippingPoint will be crossed, stratocumulus clouds will disappear, and average #temperatures will rise by 10C in the subtropics and 8C in the #tropics. In other words, #Earth, as a livable planet for most species. will be done and dusted.
Here is a link to the original journal article in Nature Geoscience, "Possible #climate transitions from breakup of stratocumulus decks under #greenhouse #warming", 25 Feb 2019, by T. Schneider, C.M. Kaul, and K.G. Pressel https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-019-0310-1
Here is a non-paywall, pdf download link to the article - https://sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1038/s41561-019-0310-1
And here is a great article about this by Natalie Wolchover in Quanta Magazine - "A World Without Clouds" - https://www.quantamagazine.org/cloud-loss-could-add-8-degrees-to-global-warming-20190225/
