Do i extrapolate too much but doesn't it meanspither hemisphere will get colder when northern get hotter ? Ir's it like a climate inversion between south north ? This would be fucked
Yeah, and there's data that it happened in the past. And we are seeing the same signals that happened in the past before the thing stopping happen again. It might have happened naturally but we are artificially inducing it in an accelerated pace, of course.
It was one of the major reasons for the heavy and long winters in the dark ages iirc. I didn't recall correctly.
Got sources for an AMOC shutdown happening in the past few thousand years?
Not the past few, I was remembering wrong that one. Apparently around 500 years it weakens but the last shutdown was 12k years ago:
The most recent evidence of an AMOC shut-down is the Younger Dryas period, which occurred about 12,000 years ago. https://climate.sun.ac.za/uncategorized/amoc-shut-down-by-2100-should-important-new-results-be-used-to-update-an-approved-ipcc-consensus-on-risk/
Thats sounding a lot more like what I remembered
What you dont ? What were you doing to miss this major event ?
