There is potential for Amoc weakening to become a collapse. In that specific scenario ,Europe would experience climate change up to 10 times faster than today. Considering that current climate change is already hard to keep up with as a society, we can’t begin to imagine what impact an Amoc collapse could have on our daily lives.

Amoc collapse could change Europe’s climate 10x faster than expected. We aren’t ready

The system of ocean current that moves heat in the Atlantic Ocean plays a key role in regulating climate. Today’s monitoring of it may be discontinued

"Climate change is causing rivers around the world to lose oxygen at a troubling rate, according to a study published May 15 in Science Advances. Researchers found that this widespread and persistent deoxygenation is affecting river ecosystems globally, with tropical rivers emerging as the most at risk. The findings highlight an urgent need for strategies to slow oxygen loss and protect freshwater ecosystems.

Overall, 78.8% of the rivers included in the study experienced deoxygenation."

Yay. Let's have All The Datacentres, endless strip mining and loads more fossil fuel extraction.
