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...

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

Prof Jonathan Bamber, director of the Bristol Glaciology Centre at Bristol University, said: “They did this by imposing a huge freshwater forcing to the North Atlantic that is entirely unrealistic for even the most extreme warming scenario over the next century.

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
