A new study predicts the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), a oceanic current that brings warm water to the northern Atlantic, could collapse as soon as 2025, ushering in a new ice age in northern Europe. Previous studies have predicted the AMOC will collapse by 2100 with “95% certainty”, but have been vague about how soon that could happen. The AMOC, also known as the Gulf Stream, brings warm water from the Equator to the northern hemisphere, but the large volumes of fresh water being dumped into the seas near the poles have slowed the current, which will eventually stop flow…
