Atlantic Ocean current shutdown unlikely this century

A new study suggests that the collapse of the Atlantic Ocean currents, which could drastically affect weather patterns, is unlikely to happen this century. Researchers used 34 computer models and found no simulations predicting a total shutdown before 2100. The study indicates that a secondary mechanism in the Southern Ocean may help maintain the current system, even as it weakens. This contrasts with previous studies that warned of an imminent collapse due to climate change. While the Atlantic currents are expected to weaken, the study emphasizes that significant climate impacts may still occur, such as changes in rainfall and fish stocks, without leading to a severe cooling in Europe.
