AMOC is going to collapse, perhaps as soon as this year. If that happens, we will likely have to reduce our understanding of earths weather patterns to "Rain is (often) wet when it falls".

British scientists disagree and say that the outcome had been "forced" and unrealistic

I can't say whether AMOC will collapse this year, but we can expect La Nina to come in August. We'll see what happens in the next hurricane season

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
