❓What does an ice sheet have to do with a city block? We’re discussing the global & the local in one space! Join us for a collective thought experiment on urban adaptation & climate tipping points! Next Wed 26 August 19:00 Gans Woanders, Munich @tum.de @climtip.bsky.social @bayfor.org
📣 Just out: our new study on the 'cold blob' in the Northern Atlantic. Is that due to ocean currents bringing less heat there, or due to more heat being lost through the sea surface? Our data analysis strongly suggests it's due to #AMOC slowing. 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
What'd happen if we managed to limit global warming to around 2°C—but the AMOC still underwent a major weakening? Join us today bit.ly/climtip-webi... with @froeltho.bsky.social on impacts of #AMOC collapse under 2°C scenario! 📅 7 July, 2–3pm CEST #ClimateScience #ClimTip @unibe.ch #TippingPoints
Polar ice – 100Ks years of climate history. Changed in a few human lifetimes? As we heat the planet, ice sheets are pushed to melt irreversibly. But it gets trickier @ricarda-winkelmann.bsky.social talks 3 types of tipping in #Greenland & #Antarctica Join 5 May 2-3PM CEST ‼️ bit.ly/climtip-webi...

1/ Headlines in 2023 warned the AMOC – the Atlantic “conveyor belt” that warms Europe – could collapse in 2025. New research led by @jonbakerocean.bsky.social in @nature.com challenges that: shutdown this century is unlikely. But weakening is real, and risky. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Continued Atlantic overturning circulation even under climate extremes - Nature
Climate models suggest that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is unlikely to collapse this century, owing to stabilization from wind-driven upwelling in the Southern Ocean.

🌊 The Atlantic “conveyor belt” (AMOC) is weakening under climate change. A new @nature.com study suggests collapse is unlikely this century, but the risks remain very serious. Hear from lead author @jonbakerocean.bsky.social in our next webinar. 📅 2 Sep 2025, 2–3PM CEST 🔗 bit.ly/climtip-webi...
