Climate Scientists Warn of Potential Collapse of Key Atlantic Current, Causing Global Consequences

Climate scientists are sounding the alarm about the potential collapse of a crucial Atlantic current, which could have devastating consequences for the planet. Stefan Rahmstorf, an oceanographer, suggests that even a 1.7-1.8°C temperature rise above pre-industrial levels could be catastrophic, emphasizing the importance of sticking to the Paris Agreement.

Rahmstorf proposes enhancing research into the current's dynamics and building resilience through adaptation measures, such as insulating homes and promoting electric vehicles. He also encourages individual action, including voting and demanding policy change.
