Could the AMOC COLLAPSE? Consequences and Misconceptions | Into the Blue Presents: The AMOC Ep3

·17 min·1 clip

Climate models don't predict complete AMOC collapse, but idealized studies show freshwater from melting ice could eventually stop sinking.

Dr Zoe Jacobs interviews climate scientist Dr Hemant Katri about the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), exploring whether it's weakening, what climate impacts would result, and addressing common misconceptions. They discuss model predictions versus observational evidence, the low probability of complete collapse, and the relationship between AMOC and the Gulf Stream.
