Atlantic's AMOC Weakening Faster Than Expected
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is on a worrying trajectory, potentially weakening by one-third in the next 15 years due to relentless CO₂ emissions, warns recent research.

While some scientists say a full collapse might not happen until 2050, the consensus demands immediate greenhouse gas reductions. Let’s hope we can steer the climate currents back on course!
