The scariest aspect of this is that we may not know we've passed the tipping point until it has already happened. @rahmstorf.bsky.social in 2024: "Nothing dramatic happens at the tipping point. That just means AMOC is then doomed and it will slowly die, but that process could take 50 to 100 years."
