If there was a sinkhole between Canada and Mexico that swallowed the shithole it would solve all of are problems.

There is a scene in the SciFi show The Expanse where a woman from Mars fulfils her dream of seeing an Earth ocean The only problem is all the oceans & seas on Earth are dead

Nobody will care because they say it takes 50-100 years

😖

In the UK, Reform have 4 MP’s out of 650, yet they receive a disproportionately large amount of air time, particularly from the BBC. My local council has been taken over by Reform, who immediately dismissed Net Zero efforts as ‘Virtue Signalling Tripe’ durhamukweather.com/is-net-zero-...

But..but..but….migrants, flags, Muslims ….

😢🤬

I read about this possibility years ago, and yet here we are,a terrifying probability

This had been a prediction for years.

Maybe that’s why the whales are going silent?

one reason of many. The Earth we grew up with is in hospice care

I know I’m a nature nut! I took my kids for long walks in the woods showing them the amazing nature how beautiful it was and how we share this earth with other creatures! Showed them how to determine the creatures by paw prints and scat!

Didn't mention the "Gulf Stream" once, which is a bit weird, as it is the most commonly known part of the AMOC. Oh and has the biggest effect on UK weather?

Next year will be the famine year

Please....one world catastrophy at a time...

Exactly why it is not headline news. But we can all rejoice in the fact that ICE can be pelted with cold cuts at any moment.

Too few will pay attention. 🤷🤦🤬😢🤬

But but but flags.....it's shameful this isn't the number one story everywhere

True, but I think Nigel Farage might have sent a tweet about something so…

The chance of anything being done to avoid this crisis seems negligible with Trump and Putin in power. There’s too much money to be accumulated, weapons to be made and war to be fought to throw it all at the environment and save us. In the words of John Laurie “…….

Isn’t that link a news headline?

Why would it be? The news headlines are constantly immigration, and so out of proportion to reality everything else looks like trouble at a local garden fete. Politicians should be loudly pushing back at this. But they don’t. Either through opportunism or cowardice. Either way, they are failing.

I seem to remember that Gordon Rattray Taylor was mentioning this in "The Doomsday Book" over 50 years ago.

Our world could completely change in the next hundred years, absolutely devastating Humane Society. And it’s going to happen because people running our government refuse to even except climate change or that we’re hurting our environment. Trump is doubling down, making this possibility a guarantee.

I’ve been following the weakening of the conveyor belt since the 1960s. It will happen; it’s not going to be prevented. All the scientific warnings have been ignored. We’re about to enter an age of catastrophic change. The issue will be adaptation.

Both sad and horrifying that we’re too busy with Trump‘s fascism to pay any attention whatsoever to the climate crisis that is here and getting worse. The definition of madness: out of touch with reality.

The #stupidity of people like #Trump #Putin #Xi #Modi is horrifying, especially bc of that orange #idiot hundreds of millions will die! #Rightwing #politicians #politics a bunch of #fools yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/10/the-... #Yale #Harvard #Cambridge #MIT #science #scientists

When this starts actually harming rich white men, they're going to be screaming "Why did no-one tell us this was going to happen and what we could have done to prevent it?!" at the very people who told them it was going to happen and what they could have done to prevent it, aren't they?

Alas, our media is too busy writing propaganda for the regime to cover truly existential issues like this.

The plot of The Day After Tomorrow.

😱

Wow!

See: The Day After Tomorrow youtu.be/HUBDFoMNXzA?...

This should send us all out on the streets raging against the continued lobbying power & corruption of the oil industry, which has led us to this precipice & refuses to change direction. We need to stop burning oil & gas NOW. We can and we should. The alternative is horrifying

There is nothing anyone can do. This is akin to turning an aircraft carrier in the Mississippi River.

They are. Its tragic that all the worlds fossil fuel supplies are in the hands of greedy morons.

It’s all too late. The world is owned and run by greedy self-serving fools. We’ll probably become extinct and the earth will breath a huge sigh of relief.

Don't look up.

Yeah but "owning the libs" will make it all worthwhile for the simple minded and uninformed

They'll be too dumb to survive. Every cloud and all that.

It will be when Nigel says something about it.

Sociopaths could not care less about leaving a viable planet behind.

The president of the United States thinks this is a “Chinese hoax.”

I’m sure the Trump EPA, who declared that carbon monoxide is not a greenhouse gas, will do everything in their power to stop it. NOT.

💯 We are becoming bystanders in our own demise!

You had me worried for a second. Then I saw that the studie was published by an activist climate «researcher» and published by The Guardian.

Yay, Anders has found another excuse to keep pretending none of this is happening. Congratulations Anders.

The end.

If only you had the same visceral reaction to the government taking healthcare off trans kids or parliamentarians accommodating transphobia. 😑🤔

And I can guarantee you that there will not be any CO2 emission cuts. Ever. If the planet is doomed, then it is doomed. But mankind will not stop living to save it even if it means mankind death.

Opposable thumbs and big brains don't seem to be all they were cracked up to be. A pity no one warned us. _________ Sarcasm

I was truly horrified by this one.

😰

It seems, people are, mostly, unwilling or unable to educate themselves, and power generally coalesces among the greedy. For these reasons I see very little hope for humans to avoid ending civilization and damaging the planet for many species. I wish I had reason to find a different outlook.

You vegan?

Our planet is about 4.5 billion years old, and in just 225 years, we have succeeded in killing it with global warming.

Just us, the planet will be fine. Humans, not so much.

After reading The Guardian article, do you think plant and animal-supporting environments will survive, too?!🤷‍♀️

Globally, yes. The planet will probably re-evolve without having to go back to the primeval ooze stage

More precisely, we do so much damage that we hurl the planet into a Greenhouse Earth Phase. Excellent, glad I'll be dead by then.

Cracker Barrel logo update?

By the time there is travel to Mars there will be no point .. Earth will be Mars 2.0

We are urged to "Don't Look Up" !

I brought research which suggested that the collapse of the AMOC was more imminent that previously considered to the attention of my local Liberal Democrat candidate before the general election. She wasn't disinterested but made reference to the Met Office stance. 1/

I felt this was short sighted because almost all the climate change models that have been refined since the 1970s have brought forward the dates of various tipping points and it is increasingly apparent that the situation is grave. 2/

The process of peer reviewed publication is conservative (often necessarily). This has also contributed to projections for tipping points being pushed out into the future. This is perhaps partly why public attention is not being grasped with the urgency it deserves. 3/

This is confounded by politicians who have no interest in the impact this will have on European societies and cultures. They mostly seem preoccupied by the colour of peoples skin and the flags that can be flown over a town hall. 4/

The media must take some responsibility for this. They have built the platforms on which far right politicians stand. People actually deserve to know the danger that they, their children and grandchildren are in. 5/

It is a global public health issue. Global heating in Europe, followed by the collapse of the AMOC is likely to lead to 100,000s of deaths in Europe and an end to the way of life that the far right claim they are fighting to preserve. /End

YA, I'm thinking other things will also #collapse; deaths in the world will be global and catastrophic. This is the ending of Earth as we know her.

The sad thing is that governments could be taking action now to ameliorate the situation. The big question is why they don't? The short answer is because it requires redistribution of wealth.

We’re too busy arguing over small boats and wannabe dictators to notice

Apparently Reform says it’s all a racket But hey .. let’s follow the money We are living in some sicko disaster movie 😞

I'm sure History will bash Biden for missed opportunity.

Anything else?

I think this is the literal plot of the movie The Day After Tomorrow

Nobody cares enough about 30,50,150 years in the future. Most don't care enough about today.

Apres moi, le deluge

That’s why despite all the good intentions and commendable folk swimming against the capitalist current, everything *is* fucked.

I've been worrying about AMOC collapse for years, and it always seemed suspicious to me that despite knowing it's a tipping point system, everyone was blithely saying "no, it's FINE, it'll NEVER happen!". So now we know. And we're still heading for 2-3 degrees, and back to dealing with fascism. ☹️

Easiest way to reduce your GHG emissions is to go vegan

It is indeed horrifying ~ www.youtube.com/watch

Truth.......

“But the future of the Atlantic circulation is still in our hands.” Well, that’s it fucked then.

Exactly. Meanwhile, the morons that make up the majority of the political class - now unfortunately including the UK Nazi Party (aka "Reform") debate immigration.... We have truly entered the Age of the Idiot.

'Idiocracy' was supposed to be a bit of fun, not a long term prediction! 😬🙄

📌

Humans are a blight on the planet

Tweet it to Trump he doesn’t believe in science

This is what happens when narcissistic people are the ones that rise to the top. We are fucked really. Enjoy today.

It's a Don't Look Up scenario – short-term politics, vested interests and disinformation are what influence our media and therefore public attention. Not sure what could change this and looks as if action will inevitably be reactive not proactive. So much the worse for humanity.

Ok yes, but what about the issue that matters more than the lives of billions of people: Will fossil fuel companies continue to be grotesquely, corruptingly profitable??

Well wasn't that just great.

And they’re wondering why young people aren’t having kids! Many friends I have with children of childbearing age are pleased and relieved their kids aren’t reproducing. The world is not good enough to inflict upon future generations. And yes- I know it’s a disaster for everyone.

If I was 30 years younger I wouldn't have children for this reason.

We’ve had this discussion. Nor would we.

My daughter (only child) isn't going to have any children and frankly, I'm glad. I worry every day about what the world will be like for her when I'm gone. I can't imagine wanting to bring a child into this world, as things are now.

Sad but so understandable

Said every generation of humans. Lol

One of them will be right eventually and I like our odds

Funny thing is most polls show the number one reason that people are choosing to not have kids is the expense, today.

That DEFINITELY too

My child won’t have children. We live in Texas, and it’s too dangerous and expensive here.

I can imagine.

I hate it here.

The collapse of the North Atlantic Conveyor has been predicted for at least a couple of decades. Nobody took notice then, they won't now.

I knew about this back in the early 90’s. Remember explaining to my children what would happen as we are on same latitude as Moscow.

I first read about it in the writings of Professor HH Lamb “Climate, History and the Modern World”, published in the early 1980s and updated later. It’s a lovely blend of climate science and its historic twists—quite readable, really, and doesn’t get bogged down in jargon.

www.amazon.co.uk/Climate-Hist...

But...but...90yr old pensioners with genocide protesting placards...small boats...trans & disabled people...forriners....🙄

It’s outrageous the world is just either informing climate change, or in complete denial that it is happening. All to make a few more billion dollars for themselves and the energy companies. They do realise they live on the same planet as us, or are they that stupid/greedy.

www.tetleystldr.com/tetleystldr-...

The real denial is about the fact that we can do something. Most people, if they believe the science, are just resigned to being doomed.

Sociopaths and psychopaths in both governments and senior oil exec roles Simply put they just don't care. They think their wealth will insulate them. That's why the tech bros want Greenland What they don't realise is that once people can't feed their kids, the rich are first to die.

bsky.app/profile/graw...

& Trump ignores this as "woke fake news" anyway. He will keep on ignoring it even when people start to die from it.

I swear they made a movie about this...

There's a theory that it collasped in the 16th Century & this help propagate the Reformation ¡

No there isn't

The 'day after tomorrow'....is....TODAY 😢😢

😢

Oh my good god. This is terrifying. But this has been a known risk for a long time. The powers that be still don’t have the courage to accelerate action to mitigate climate catastrophe. I despair for my grand kid’s future.

💯 ‼️ Ignorance is bliss until it isn’t.

That’s why it’s not

We're screwed.

The comments under this article on Facebook

This is old "news" and does not interest anyone in politics - just like the "there-shall-be-heat-predictions" did not interest anyone for 50 years.

There was another post about 2 weeks ago...but it didn't give reasons why this is occurred....and because we don't have Science....it's an unknown....or a guess.

So why isn’t it headline news? That’s a similarly horrifying question. Caroline Lucas should be bombarding the media even harder than Farage. She is the only politician I really respect and trust and I have to join Bluesky to hear from her!

Southern counterpart (SMOC) already reversed this year.

This could plunge western Europe into an ice age. The UK is having its hottest and dryest summer on record. Wildfires are raging throughout Europe. Temperatures have hit 50°C in Turkey. And Trump wants to tell us that global warming doesn't exist? That coal and oil are good? I hope he fries.

I tell fellow Brits that we live at the same distance from the equator as Canada, do we want their weather? Because we're acting like it.

Also a future as a pair* of archipelagos given the rather large sea level rise. *Ireland here, so much of the same problems, lower level of heatwaves maybe

Ironically, if AMOC collapses, much of Canada outside the coastlines will be spared the worst impacts

Yes, it’s Northern and Western Europe that will bear the brunt.

Apparently, the Mediterranean coast is also in for a tough time. And north American East Coast, too. Its not a good future

#MerrySuffocatingHumans

As an earth systems scientist, @skepticalscience.bsky.social and all major refereed journals have been warning about what the collapse of the AMOC will be. Yet, here we are.

This will come and bite us in the ass in so many ways!!!

MSM are firmly aligned with the establishment order and business as usual.

I don't remember the last time this Government mentioned a single thing on climate. Kier Starmer's feeds look like GB News has control at the moment.

The powers that be seem to think that they can continue to live comfortably on a dead planet. Think we're past the tipping point that scientists have been warning about for decades. The rich are building bunkers, so that even as the planet dies, they'll be the last ones alive. Pity about the earth

What I don't understand is that the people who are driving this are not stupid people. Do they really believe that they won't be affected by climate change.

They think hoarding the wealth will insulate them It's why the tech bros want Greenland & have built strongholds in Hawaii & new Zealand What they don't realise is, once people can't feed their kids all bets are off The rich will be the first to die They may as well hang a sign out saying food here

My daughter decided to remain child-free. Best decision EVER.

Glad I don't have kids.

Don't worry Caroline, Zack'll sort it out. He has powers of persuasion you know. I look forward to his first leadership speech in Parliament.

I bet that’ll kill a few whales.

We reap what we sow. I pity today’s children.

We've collectively given control of our lives to psychopaths complicit in poisoning our food/water/environment & mass murder for profit. That we still accept them as our overlords indicates that we deserve whatever we get. Modern man has abandoned survival instincts. 'Civilized' means submissive.

💯

ReformUK voters don't care as they'll be dead in the next 10 years or so anyway

This is why we should have an upper age limit on politicians. Say 50-60 years max We need people who will be impacted by their own decision making.

This should terrify people. Let’s make a commitment that this president, and everyone who supports him, bears most of the cost of this environmental tragedy.

‘Scientists have warned previously that Amoc collapse must be avoided “at all costs”. It would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50cm to already rising sea levels.’

Our planet is in its death throes.

Can the planet hurry up and get rid of Mar a lago

🤞🤞🤞

Meanwhile, the news is full of immigration & other low level news.

The news isn't the news - it should be called Distraction Daily. Governments, the military, media - they don't want the populace to know what really is going on otherwise there would be mass riots and chaos.

The immigration news of today will pale in comparison to the amount of immigration that will occur as crops start to fail worldwide. Much of the current immigration problem is driven by climate change: poor growing conditions, weather catastrophes in Central and South America.

Wait - is this the gulf-stream they're talking about? Is this the thing that means that in winter you can't walk across the ice from Kent to France?

📌

I have been seriously warning about this for 30 years, and no one cared. "Oh, it's too big a system to change rapidly". Well, here we are. This was the tipping point, when future generations try and figure out what happened to our collapsed civilizations.

' Future generations ' are mostly going to try and figure out how not to starve to death.

Much like most people now everywhere and everyone in the long past.

Eventually, they will wonder about those ruins out in the deserts. Maybe not our decendants-- maybe the Giant Cockroaches, or remaining functional Robots.

Cockroaches are smart enough to stay small to conserve resources.

The logic is sound. It’s the biggest system on the planet and it changes slowly: We’ve probably already locked in humanity destroying impacts we’re going to have for the next 500 to 1000 years. Batten down the hatches for your kids’ future, and let your line die in peace and dignity.

Yup. We are way past stopping the horror on the way-- it is just now how bad will it be, and if any of us survive it, at all.

Back in 2001, I remember arguing with a senior work associate about global warming. She was adamant that it was an absolute hoax. Her source of validation? The nascent FAUX News Channel -Sean inHannity (Alan Colmes was, according to her, a whacko). So FAUX is guilty for the mass misinfo campaign.

Please pay attention. This could be so disastrous. Climate change is getting lost in the overall static and mayhem of this regime. We are not yet at the point of no return, but Trump and his minions are rushing us toward it. We need to stop him.

The top b!tch from our gas chamber party wants to tear them all down.

Let’s not distract from the most serious issue this country is facing though: desperate people fleeing atrocities and looking for a better life.

You haven’t seen people fleeing until worldwide weather shifts hit. Mass migrations will instigate walls and wars.

I guess I did need to use a sarcasm tag after all.

I think a climate catastrophe like this is every bit as serious as people suffering under cruel dictatorships, though that does not negate the importance of that too. There are just too many horrible things happening, it's overwhelming.

In the UK, the priority for all main political parties is “stopping the boats”

Politics, the news, and the economy are all too short-term to handle this. Unless it touches the next election, the news cycle, or quarterly results, it’s treated as background noise. Grim, but true.

Yes, this is one of the things that could lead to *Brits* ending up as refugees. Which is why I think we should all have a bit more tolerance for those who currently are. "There, but for the grace of God,....." and all that jazz. 😏

That would be good for Canada (which wouldn't be nearly as impacted by the collapse) since not many Brits would want to move to the US under its current "leadership."

The article is OK. There is not enough information on what will happen as the current weakens. "It's catastrophic" does not wake people up, it's too general. There needs to be more about how and where food supplies are going to collapse, what it means for YOU now and in the next few years. 🤷

Do a mandatory rerun of the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". Tragically, this is old news. Al Gore was right 20 years ago.

They knew 50 years ago... ugh. I think most people are just too busy with their lives or apathetic to care. The journals need to really hit home again and again the immediate consequences for society but seing how we already forgot about the wars 70 years ago i'm not hopeful.

Extreme winters and draught summers means no food in Europe!

So correct!

Get ready to run from coldness like Jake Gyllenhaal in Fay After Tomorrow.

Beware the emaciated CG wolves!

I think most people have accepted that catastrophic and on-going climate change is not going to get a meaningful response from the people who most contribute to it.

It was headline news in the Netherlands.

Because YOUR press isn’t bowing down to a wannabe dictator.

Maybe if we put AMOC in a small boat it might get some MSM attention 🙄

1/2 of America is still doubting in the validity of Science all together. We just elected a monster who's cutting regulations on polluting corporations. We're all doomed if we don't establish a United Nations panel of experts to stop the world and make it listen to the real threat of extinction here

If you're wondering what would happen to Europe if/when this happens, watch the movie The Day After Tomorrow. 🥶❄️

utterly frightening...

I always understood that the loss of the Atlantic conveyor (which brings warmth north from the south Atlantic to the eastern side of the British Isles) meant colder weather for the UK? Have I misunderstood?

It will mean a mini ice age for the UK and northern Europe.

Thanks Ann, that is what I understood. Better get the thermals out.

The time scale is sufficiently long that most of us will ignore the risk. More pertinent is the increased frequency and depth of extreme weather events. The problems of food supply are likely to be of more interest in the next few years.

I saw this too- terrifying.

Unfortunately the billionaires who own the press will keep it quiet whilst snapping up cheap shares in winter wear brands and energy companies to cash in when people are freezing.

And Canada wants to build another oil pipeline as a "nation-building" exercise?🧐

Nothing to see here ! It's all about feelings these days, forget about the truth & science !
