Ice Locked Harbours In Our Future?
With the AMOC becoming increasingly unstable and catastrophe probably at any time I wondered if I should have added icebergs because that looks like that may be what the future is for us in N. Europe. Hey Ho. At least there’s no safe place for billionaires either.
The AMOC.
The AMOC ( is the current that circulates temperatures held in water in a cycle between the South and North of the globe. It’s visibly becoming unstable because increased rainfall and melting sea ice is affecting the salinity of the oceans.
One likely result of any failure of the AMOC is that the North will become much colder and the South hotter creating even more violent and unstable weather around the globe. Wickipedia 1 November 2024
