1/ I’ve been wondering a bunch of things about a potential AMOC collapse: "When will it tip?" "What are the most likely effects?" "Can we stop it?" So I looked for answers in the many scientific papers published on this. Here’s a super plain language thread with what I found.🧵
Despite climate denial & attempt to withdraw from international agreements, global progress WON’T be halted. Climate impacts (eg. Helene) reinforce public need for action, Trump unlikely to curb this. Countries need to stay staunch ahead of COP29 momentum.

*⃣>50% chance of AMOC collapse this century*⃣
Uncertain tipping points VS immediate impacts (heatwaves/flooding). Infrastructure and communities unprepared but not addressing short-term leaves vulnerable populations at risk.

Misinformation stoked by Trump and followers has 'stymied the ability to help hurricane-hit communities' @fema. The public is obtaining information from extremist figures online, at a time when expert advice should be heeded. Lives are at risk.

Humanity has missed the opportunity to limit warming at 1.5°C warns @JimSkeaIPCC. Current policies put the the world on track for 3°C by 2100 (Western Europe experiencing closer to 5°C). Politicians need to act drastically.

Internal drainage boards in England prioritise private interests over flood prevention and nature conservation. With intensified flooding across the UK, a complete overhaul is needed to protect communities.
