Ocean current collapse which could bury UK in snow ‘more likely than we realised’

Scientists warn that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) faces a higher risk of collapsing due to climate change than previously thought, potentially leading to much colder and stormier winters in western Europe. New research suggests that if carbon emissions continue to rise, the AMOC could decline significantly this century, with possible complete shutdowns occurring in various emission scenarios.
