Major Atlantic ocean current, AMOC, might be approaching critical threshold
Study finds critical ocean system, AMOC, may be heading for collapse due to climate. The consequences would likely be far-reaching.

Study: Gulf Stream Collapse is a possibility
New study reveals possibility of Gulf Stream collapse due to climate change. Such possibilities should motivate us to take meaningful action.
Gulf Stream Update: New study confirms AMOC is slowing
A new study confirms that the climate model predications of an AMOC (Gulf Stream) slowdown are indeed correct, it really is happening.
Changes in Ocean ‘Conveyor Belt’ Foretold Abrupt Climate Changes by Four Centuries
Evidence has been growing to indicate that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is something more popularly referred to as the Gulf Stream, is slowing down. What we do also know is that this ocean circulation system plays an important role in the regulation of the climate in both Europe and also the Arctic, … Read more
Does a slowing Atlantic Ocean Circulation increase Global Warming?
The plot of the 2004 movie, The Day After Tomorrow, is that the Atlantic Ocean Circulation which carries warm water North suddenly stops and plunges the entire Northern Hemisphere into an Ice Age almost overnight… er yes, well it’s just a movie. What is actually going on with the Atlantic circulation is a concern, and … Read more
Dire News: Climate Change causing Ocean Circulation to slow down
Two new and quite independent studies have been published in Nature with some rather dire news concerning a slowdown of ocean circulation due to climate change. Both concern the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) that is perhaps better known as a Gulf Stream. The first provides direct evidence that it has slowed down by 15% … Read more
