Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which includes the Gulf Stream, plays a crucial role in regulating ocean heat transfer from the tropics to the northern hemisphere.<\/p>\n

A major ocean current system in the Atlantic, crucial for regulating Earth\u2019s climate, is at risk of collapse as soon as 2025, new research has warned. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which includes the Gulf Stream, transports heat from the tropics to the northern hemisphere.<\/p>\n

If the AMOC collapses completely, it could disrupt monsoon seasons and lead to severe winters in Europe and North America, with cascading impacts on ecosystems and food security.<\/p>\n

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen used models and studied early warning indicators to assess the AMOC\u2019s condition. The team\u2019s alarming 2025 prediction is earlier than previous projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s reported previous models may have overestimated the stability of the AMOC. The research highlights the need for immediate action to combat climate change and prevent the further destabilization of the AMOC, noting the increase in greenhouse gas emissions has exacerbated the looming collapse.<\/p>\n

The study also acknowledges that uncertainties remain, as not all factors impacting the AMOC are fully understood. The findings of the study were published in the journal Nature Communications.<\/p>\n
