A recent CNN article by Laura Paddison, titled \u201cA crucial system of ocean currents is slowing. It\u2019s already supercharging sea level rise in the US,<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> references new research on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to claim the current is slowing down leading to rising seas and costly, deadly coastal flooding. This false claim is based solely on a single, as yet unpublished and unverified, study which used a single climate model\u2019s projections. Evidence, such as other studies and historical reporting on AMOC trends demonstrate that there is no consensus on the status of the AMOC. Rather, scientists\u2019 predictions and the media\u2019s reporting on the AMOC have been flip-flopping for nearly two decades\u2014unable to decide whether AMOC is speeding up, slowing down, or staying steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has been among the climate alarmists\u2019 top go-to bogeyman for years. There was even a sci-fi movie made about its collapse, The The Day After Tomorrow<\/em><\/a>, in which the AMOC;s collapse leads to a new ice age within days. Whether the movie made for good drama is debatable, but what is not debatable was the vigorous criticism that climate scientists<\/a> leveled against its portrayal of climate change. Looking at the history of AMOC predictions, according to some studies, it\u2019s collapsing. In others, it\u2019s strengthening. Sometimes studies suggest that the AMOC has not changed measurably at all in recent years. The problem is scientists have not had a reliable way to observe AMOC long enough to make definitive statements. That hasn\u2019t stopped the press from pushing speculative, often contradictory, claims based on every new study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heartland President James Taylor documented this ever-changing narrative in his 2021 article at Climate Realism<\/a>, highlighting how climate activists have repeatedly contradicted themselves on AMOC trends. One year it\u2019s accelerating\u2014fueling European warming\u2014another year it\u2019s stalling, threatening a new Ice Age. The takeaway? We simply don\u2019t know enough to draw sweeping conclusions, let alone restructure financial lending or credit scoring based on these speculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, CNN isn\u2019t even citing published research, but relies heavily on yet unpublished research started in 2024<\/a> by Liping Zhang<\/a>\u2014an oceanographer with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s (NOAA) Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory\u2014suggesting that AMOC may be weakening due to climate-related factors and could be ingincreased coastal flooding. While Zhang\u2019s modeling work may indeed raise valid scientific questions, CNN fails to mention the massive caveats attached to this line of research: sparse observational data, high model uncertainty, and a lack of consensus within the scientific community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had CNN done a even a modest amount of fact checking, it would have found that two peer reviewed studies published in a top science journal, Nature<\/em>, in January<\/a> and February<\/a> of this year came to precisely the opposite conclusion as the unpublished study that the \u201cnews\u201d organization is touting. Those studies looked at data and models and concluded that the AMOC is showing no sign of decline and was unlikely to do so even under climate extremes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CNN ignored the fact that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in Chapter 12 of its Sixth Assessment Report: Emergence of Climate Impact Drivers<\/strong><\/a>, has found no correlation between climate change and coastal flooding in the present, and predicts none in the future as shown in the table below, note the yellow highlighted row \u201cCoastal flood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

The colour corresponds to the confidence of the region with the highest confidence: white cells indicate where evidence is lacking or the signal is not present, leading to overall low confidence of an emerging signal.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It is hard to believe there would be no coastal flooding if glacial melt was rapidly occurring which would be necessary for the AMOC to slow abruptly. Even when CNN acknowledges the uncertainty about the research\u2019s claims, quoting Gerard McCarthy, an oceanographer at Maynooth University in Ireland, who candidly admits: \u201cThe science is still not clear,\u201d<\/em> its article then immediately pivots into speculative catastrophe\u2014claiming future foreclosures, economic loss, and insurance shocks\u2014all supposedly based on AMOC\u2019s decline. That\u2019s not reporting. That\u2019s narrative crafting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making matters even worse, CNN has been corrected on this issue before. In 2024, Climate Realism<\/em> published a comprehensive takedown of similar claims in a piece titled \u201cNo, CNN and Other Media Outlets: Climate Change is Not Causing the Ocean Circulation to Collapse\u201d<\/a>. The article points out that the limited time frame of AMOC observations\u2014barely two decades\u2014renders any long-term predictions highly speculative. Simply put: if you haven\u2019t watched something for long, you can\u2019t know with any confidence what it is going to do in the future. Also, climate model projections can\u2019t help this problem, since they are known to be flawed<\/a> and are dependent upon the quality of the assumptions built into them. If modelers assume climate change will cause an AMOC collapse, one shouldn\u2019t be surprised when the models they create forecast a collapsing AMOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN compounds the errors resulting from its dubious use of science by projecting even more unjustified economic extrapolations. They tie AMOC-driven flooding to increased foreclosures, credit instability, and higher insurance premiums. This is a sleight of hand: attributing economic pressures caused by real estate inflation, poor zoning, and coastal overdevelopment to hypothetical ocean current changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that insurance losses and flood exposure are driven by where people build and what they build<\/strong>, not by a slow-motion current thousands of miles offshore. This was recently exposed by Climate Realism<\/em> in CNN\u2019s Climate Con: How Real Estate, Not Storms, Drives Insurance Costs<\/a>. That article cites NOAA\u2019s own data, such as the Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters database<\/a>, which consistently shows that the rising cost of disasters is due to increased development in high-risk areas\u2014not increased frequency or intensity of disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN\u2019s article on the AMOC is yet another example of how mainstream media misleads the public by dressing up uncertain science as inevitability. By leaning on AMOC modeling that lacks a solid observational foundation and is directly contradicted by other scientific research, then spinning speculative findings into warnings of financial collapse, CNN continues a disturbing trend: using unsubstantiated climate narratives to generate fear and political action, facts be damned. Even thought the experts CNN quotes say, \u201cThe science is still not clear,\u201d<\/em> CNN\u2019s fail to practice any journalistic caution. Instead, CNN peddles science on the AMOC that has already been debunked<\/a>, using it to support alarming narratives about insurance markets, lending, and housing. The result is a disservice to both science and the public, dismissing real science and sound economic and public policies in the pursuit of progressive political ends, like bigger government intervention in energy markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
