Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout
Zero chance of that happening /s
Climate models recently indicated that a collapse before 2100 was unlikely but the new analysis examined models that were run for longer, to 2300 and 2500. These show the tipping point that makes an Amoc shutdown inevitable is likely to be passed within a few decades, but that the collapse itself may not happen until 50 to 100 years later.
The main conclusion from this should be that climate change is entering an ever more unpredictable stage.
Exactly. I’m building a house at the moment, and basically insulating it as if it might be in the tropics or Greenland in the next ten years, planning for drought and deep freeze. It’s tricky, but worth it I reckon
High winds, flooding, hail, and food scarcity are things to consider as well. Fruit trees and other long term foods are good to get started as soon as possible.
