The argument has been made that the ‘cold blob’ might not be caused by an AMOC decline but by heat loss at the ocean surface. We argued in Caesar et al. The reanalysis data show the latter is the case.

I think in hindsight that my concerns from 2013 to some extent were supported by the fact that the IPCC organised an Expert Meeting on Communication, Oslo, Norway, 9–10 February 2016. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is the most important greenhouse gas that we have added to the atmosphere, however, some of it has been absorbed by land and oceans.
