Rapid 2°C warming may tip AMOC collapse — slower warming could avert it
New research indicates that the rate of global warming — not just the total amount — is critical for the stability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). A rapid rise to 2°C risks tipping the circulation into collapse, while slower warming of the same magnitude may allow the system to adapt and avoid breakdown. The findings add urgency to calls for cutting emissions quickly.
