Rapid warming may tip Atlantic circulation at 2°C, while slower warming may avert collapse
📍 The outcome
Recent studies reported sudden changes in heat transport off Brazil’s northeast coast and suggested the Atlantic Ocean may tolerate more warming than previously thought. Scientists warned that the stability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and Gulf Stream could depend on the speed of warming, with rapid warming potentially tipping circulation at 2 °C while slower warming might avert collapse, and some observations showed unexpected behavior in a key Atlantic current.
