27 Jul 2023 — Scientists are warning that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a part of the global conveyor belt moving water around the world, could collapse, severely impacting the climate in the North Atlantic region and globally. Other scientists have reacted to the study, saying it’s important not to ignore these findings while arguing a collapse in this century is unlikely.
Nutrition Insight speaks with co-author Peter Ditlevsen, professor at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, about the consequences of a collapse or changes in the AMOC.
