Over 40 climate scientists have issued a stark warning to Nordic ministers about the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current system.

This collapse could lead to significantly colder climates in Norway and other Nordic countries, disrupting ecosystems and weather patterns.

While some scientists argue that such a collapse is unlikely, recent studies suggest the risk may be underestimated.

The AMOC, which includes the Gulf Stream, plays a vital role in maintaining mild climates in Europe by transporting warm water northward.

A collapse could result in temperature drops of 4-5 degrees Celsius in Norway, drastically altering precipitation patterns.

Scientists urge immediate action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate these risks.
