AMOC again.
Have we reached a tipping point, beyond which the AMOC will slow down and disappear over a period over decades or 100 years, making northern Europe much *colder* than today? Temperatures in western Norway could drop by as much as 20 degrees centigrade!
There are also estimates that a collapse of AMOC might adversely affect food security globally. Meanwhile, temperature in the rest of the world will continue rising, leading to a truly "global weirding".
Note also the cope at the end about the Paris Agreement blah-blah. Yeah, whatever.
Yeah, not a pretty picture. Mass migrations to warmer areas, consequent warfare over habitat and food sources. Population decrease by 2/3rds, "civilization" regresses by thousands of years.
ReplyDeleteMakes me worry about every baby in a carriage I see. What future will they have in 50 years?
Exactly. John Michael Greer believes that the average time-span of a dark age is 500 years, but the shit that may be coming our way may last far loger in my opinion. Who knows, thousands of years or more?
