Researchers have predicted the collapse of the AMOC could happen any time between 2025 and 2095 — far sooner than previous predictions, although not all scientists are convinced.

Well that’s pretty scary.. I mean, at least the scientists say that it’s more likely the current will just slow down rather than completely collapse? But then again, all the climate change models predicted a much more conservative timeline on when we would be experiencing the effects of climate change than what is actually happening in the real world now.. so idk, scary shit man ☹️

If how conservative they've been in the past is any indication, this is going to happen next monday

Yeah, for real though considering they are saying it could happen anywhere from 2025 (wtaf) to 2095 (lol)

given precedent of such estimates I'll go with 01.04.2026 (April for people who still measure things in freedom eagles/burger)
