A crucial system of ocean currents is heading for a collapse that ‘would affect every person on the planet’

24th July: We're all going to roast from climate change. It's the hottest summer ever.

25th July: "Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current – of which the Gulf Stream is a part – could collapse around the middle of the century, or even as early as 2025. More than 12,000 years ago, rapid glacier melt caused the AMOC to shut down, leading to huge Northern Hemisphere temperature fluctuations of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius (18 to 27 Fahrenheit) within a decade.

A shutdown 'would affect every person on the planet – it’s that big and important,' said Peter de Menocal, the president of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, who was not involved in the study."
