    tl;dr: Another paper on the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation shutdown just dropped, bumping the reduction of circulation by the year 2100 from 32 ± 37% to 51 ± 8%. This means it is now certain that there will be catastrophic consequences through this particular form of climate change. Capitalist media don’t tell you this because they’re capitalist.

    The catastrophic consequences include, but are not limited to:

    • Even more extreme hurricanes in the Caribbean

    • European biosphere freezing to death in cold snaps

    • European infrastructure collapsing in cold snaps

    • Faster-rising sea levels on the north American east coast

    • Extra CO2 released from the Antarctic Ocean
