Thank you for a really interesting and well-written article! I am a lecturer in public health and have lectures about the interconnection between global societal and ecological crises. I have heard about the weakening of the Gulf Stream and that it could make it colder, but I have never seen detailed examples of the consequences of AMOC collapse. AMOC collapse togehter with things that I already talk about seems really problematic. E.g. 99% of coral reefs are expected to be dead by 2050. 44% (48 million km2) of the world’s habitable land is used for agriculture. 33% of all soil is already degraded and 90% is estimated to be degraded by 2050.
