Study on effect of AMOC collapse: comment

"A collapse of the AMOC, a critical ocean current, would tip the UK’s current temperate climate into something like the cold of northern Canada, seriously reducing the land suitable for growing crops, and putting our food security in serious danger.

"Cutting emissions to net zero is the only solution we have to averting the most dangerous impacts of climate change. So this is a timely reminder for all governments of what’s at stake this year as nations are called on to increase their commitments to cut emissions ahead of COP30. As a nation with a history of climate leadership and ambitious emissions goals, the UK can play a crucial part in this, working with other leaders to help close the gap between the growing risk of disaster, and a liveable future. Without these, the world will be more likely to hit these dangerous tipping points."
