class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The network of ocean currents which keep the Earth\u2019s climate stable could be about to collapse, scientists have warned.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>In an open letter, 44 of the world\u2019s leading climate scientists say that key Atlantic Ocean currents \u2013 including the Gulf Stream \u2013 are on the brink of failure.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The scientists caution that the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could lead to \u2018devastating and irreversible impacts\u2019 which will affect \u2018the entire world for centuries to come\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The resulting climate fallout could plunge the UK into&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive-yaleglobal.yale.edu\/content\/will-global-warming-trigger-new-ice-age\"><em>a \u2018new Ice Age\u2019<\/em><\/a><em>, with winter temperatures plummetting up to 15\u00b0C (27\u00b0F) below the current average.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>While the collapse of the Gulf Stream would be disastrous for Britain, that vital current is just one small part of AMOC\u2019s massive global system.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This giant ocean conveyor belt is critical for moving heat around the planet, but research suggests that it has been slowing down and could soon reach a tipping point.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Without urgent action, the scientists warn that AMOC could fail completely within the next few decades.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>As warm water travels northwards from the tropics, it hits the sea ice around Greenland and the Nordic countries, cooling and becoming much saltier.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>As the water cools it becomes denser, sinking rapidly towards the bottom of the ocean where it flows back southwards before once again warming and rising to the surface.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This process of \u2018deep water formation\u2019 is the engine for a vast global conveyor belt which pumps heat and water all around the Atlantic Ocean.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>However, studies suggest that AMOC\u2019s deep water engine has started to slow and is now showing worrying signs of breaking down altogether.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>As global temperatures rise, melting ice pours fresh water back into oceans, diluting the denser salty water and preventing it from sinking.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If this process were to break down entirely, it would have

The Warming in the North, for instance, occurred because of the influx of warm Atlantic seawater, in exactly the same way as with recent Arctic warming. As the Met Office explain, warm water evaporates leaving saltier water, which sinks because it is more dense. Saltier water of course freezes at lower temperatures, so Arctic sea ice tends to contract. (Note when it freezes, the salt tends to leech out, so either way the sea becomes saltier).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Great Salinity Anomaly which followed the Warming was the result of that influx of warmer water retreating, in part because of northerly airflow :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"678\" data-attachment-id=\"348827\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=348827\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-651.png?fit=840%2C788&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"840,788\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-651.png?fit=723%2C678&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-651.png?resize=723%2C678&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-651.png?w=840&amp;ssl=1 840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-651.png?resize=300%2C281&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-651.png?resize=768%2C720&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1080\/00291950701409256\">http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1080\/00291950701409256<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These weather patterns are part and parcel of the Arctic Oscillation, another perfectly natural cycle.

Just as Arctic sea ice had retreated during the Warming, it expanded rapidly during this period. The GSA was not just a phenomenon in the Norwegian Sea, because the polar gyre carried this fresh water around the whole of the Arctic Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another factor identified by Dickson and Osterhus in the freshening of the Arctic Ocean is increasing discharge from Eurasian rivers into the basin. A warming climate means a wetter climate in those regions. And more river discharge leads to more sea ice and a colder Arctic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, these processes tend to be self correcting. Milder weather leads eventually to more sea ice and a colder climate, until eventually the AO flips back to positive again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll leave the final comment to Dickson &amp; Osterhus:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"644\" height=\"81\" data-attachment-id=\"348831\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=348831\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-654.png?fit=644%2C81&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"644,81\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-654.png?fit=644%2C81&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-654.png?resize=644%2C81&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-654.png?w=644&amp;ssl=1 644w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-654.png?resize=300%2C38&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All these changes were the result of natural processes.
