Scientists Warn Atlantic Ocean Current Nearing Collapse Sooner Than Expected

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is slowing down and becoming less resilient, likely due to climate change.
The current could collapse within decades, as early as 2025, much sooner than previous predictions.
The collapse would have severe global impacts including rapid sea level rise, harsher winters, and changes to precipitation patterns.
While some uncertainties remain, studies show growing evidence that the vital ocean system is unstable.
Urgent action is needed to reduce emissions and closely monitor the situation to mitigate potential catastrophic consequences.
