- The AMOC Collapse has begun - how screwed are we?

On today's episode, we’re talking about the one spot on earth that has been cooling called the ‘cold blob’ south of Greenland, that is concerning scientists. This blob is connected to the world’s biggest conveyor belt of ocean currents called the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) and we discuss how it relates to this cold blob, and what can happen when it collapses, as scientists share shocking new weather research about this dynamic phenomena!
