Someone else by all means correct me… but sounds like this study is just polishing the apple with specific details, but it doesn’t add to prior work (endlessly discussed here) about WHEN the AMOC is likely to “collapse”
All systems strive to maintain homeostasis. Therefore as humans mess up the earth’s temperature, by burning the sequestered carbon from the earth, the earths climatic regulative system will kick in and force another ice age. This happens with the destruction of the AMOC. Humans and other mammals will be long gone by then, as our ability to adapt to the fact that there will be very limited food supplies, continued extreme weather events, and societal collapse, contributing to our demise. However, undoubtedly there will be some financial records laser engraved upon a quartz crystal, that rationalize the need to maintain the price and profitability of corporations and governments subsidies there too, that will be found by a new species in the coming millennia that is examining the fossilized remains of our society.

Things are about to get interesting.
Really sounds like earths self defense mechanism almost like a fever to purge what’s making it sick
Will the AMOC cause an ice age if it collapses? I thought it was gonna make North America and Europe colder and the south heat faster obviously many other impacts but I didn’t realize it would cause a global ice age also how quickly did that ice age happen after the collapse?
Here’s the report:
