Climate Models Show AMOC Tipping Point Near

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is more likely to collapse than previously thought.
Rising Arctic temperatures slow ocean cooling, reducing water density and hindering AMOC sinking.
Stefan Rahmstorf predicts 42-58% AMOC slowdown by 2100, calling it 'very concerning'.
AMOC shutdown could cause extreme weather, sea level rise, and threaten millions.
Tipping point may arrive within decades, possibly by mid-century.
