Even if there were just (say) a 40% chance that the Ditlevsen study is correct in the tipping point being reached between 2025 and 2095, that’s a major change to the previous IPCC assessment that the risk is less than 10%. What does it all mean? An AMOC collapse would be a massive, planetary-scale disaster.
