If I take the above post and replace #AMOC by #WAIS (West Antarctic Ice Sheet) it almost perfectly describes the present situation, except that I would extend the timeframe to a few centuries. Loss of its marine-based part may already be committed. -

Some of you probably remember WAIS. An Internet search engine from the Gopher era (more specific: a search protocol). TIL: Thinking Machines (those with the massive red blinkenlights servers) were the main driver and developer of WAIS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_information_server #vintagecomputing #techhistory #wais #thinkingmachines #connectionmachine

Thwaites Glacier won’t collapse like dominoes as feared, study finds, but that doesn’t mean the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is stable

" 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? 😁
https://esd.copernicus.org/articles/15/859/2024/esd-15-859-2024.html Sacha #Sinet et al, 2024It's not what they mean, I know. 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. -

Une étude parue dans la revue #NatureClimateChange confirme que la fonte de l'inlandsis de l'#Antarctique occidental #WAIS semble irréversible. Avec les commentaires de Gaël Durand, directeur de recherche à l'Institut des géosciences de l'environnement (IGE) de Grenoble.

Realizing after I posted this that it is now a Moral Imperative for me to add hyperlinking for all #IETF #RFC1738 URI schemes to #Mastodon, especially news and nntp. If they won’t accept my pull request this is worth a fork.
