Major ocean current could collapse in 20-30 years: Study
Technology
Big news from climate scientist James Hansen: a crucial Atlantic ocean current, the AMOC, might collapse in the next 20-30 years.
This system helps keep our planet's climate stable, and Hansen's international research team recently released a new paper warning about this risk.
AMOC's breakdown will affect climate and food supply
If the AMOC breaks down, we're looking at wilder weather, messed-up rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, and real threats to food supplies—especially for people living near coasts.
The researchers say past politics and economics have slowed action on climate change but hope younger generations will help push for real solutions before it's too late.
