The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is crucial for global ocean carbon and heat uptake, and controls the climate around the North Atlantic. Despite its importance, quantifying the AMOC’s past changes and assessing its vulnerability to climate change remains highly uncertain. Under...

AMOC status and its near-term future remain a topic of significant scientific debate. I don't recommend putting all your trust in a single study.
