The collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) would drop temps in the Northern Hemisphere by 40 degrees—ending life as we know it.

The potential collapse of the Gulf Stream, a vital ocean current, by 2025 could have severe consequences on global climate patterns. The Gulf Stream regulates the climate of the North Atlantic region, but rapid glacier melting could disrupt this crucial current. If the Gulf Stream collapses, it could lead to significant temperature drops in North America, Asia, and Europe, with impacts on agriculture, infrastructure, and public health. Urgent global action to reduce carbon emissions is needed to mitigate these risks.
