In this special Climate Chat "Lightning Round" episode we discuss when the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) ocean current -- a major climate tipping point -- will shutdown. While the IPCC says the AMOC is unlikely to shutdown this century, a recent paper co-authored by Peter Ditlevsen says we could see the AMOC shutdown around mid-century... and possibly as soon as 2025!
Here is the link to the long interview with Peter: • When Will the AMOC Oce...

0:00:46 Peter Ditlevsen’s introduction
0:01:18 What is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation or AMOC?
0:02:02 How does the AMOC relate to the Gulf Stream?
0:02:52 How does the AMOC affect the way of life in Europe and other places?
0:03:43 What drives the AMOC ocean current?
0:04:31 Has the AMOC collapsed in the past?
0:05:23 How is climate change affecting the AMOC?
0:06:24 It’s hard to measure the past AMOC current directly. How did you study it?
0:07:31 Has the AMOC slowed downed recently?
0:08:58 On our current emissions path, what does your research say about when the AMOC will start shutting down?
0:09:49 Why does the IPCC say the AMOC will not shut down this century?
0:12:50 Why do you think you are correct and the IPCC is wrong?
0:13:14 If the AMOC begins to collapse, how long before it is “shut off”?
0:14:45 What impacts should we expect if it shuts down?
0:16:51 James Hansen says an AMOC shutdown may lead to “multi-meter” (10+ feet) sea level rise this century. Do you agree?
0:18:47 What can we do to try to prevent the AMOC from shutting down?
0:20:49 Can Sunlight Reflection Methods/Solar Radiation Management, ie, solar geoengineering, help prevent AMOC shutdown by refreezing Greenland and stopping fresh water inflow into the North Atlantic?

The big question here about the amoc shutting down is that how will this affect the sea ice formation in the north. If it shuts down in 30 years, and no extra sea ice forms in the north then the impact would be less, because sea ice has the power to drop air temps massively. If sea ice doesn’t form, the air won’t cool nearly as much so it would just heat the air less than today. Either way, it will certainly result in a snowier European winter.

The AMOC doesn't reach the Arctic Ocean. It stops just south of the Jan Meyen Ridge just before the edge of the Arctic Ocean (take a butcher's at the bathymetry and see the smallish deep pool surrounded by vast paddling-pool shelf that can't make a deep circulation because it's just a surface film (most of the Arctic Ocean and Greenland Sea). There's a warm surface return flow (Gulf Stream extension) descending deeper down into the Arctic Ocean basin at Novaya Zemlya but the basin is just the small centre bit, not touching the vast shelves. Warm air (northern Polar Cell, Polar Jet Stream) carries about 115 w/m**2 heating power into the Arctic Ocean based on 74.6N (see below) and the Atlantic Ocean flow carries about 53 w/m**2 heating power into the Barents-Greenland Seas but far less power onto the vast Arctic Ocean continental shelves paddling pools. Probably >10 times as much heat by air as by ocean water so Wonky Polar Jet Stream will heat the Arctic Ocean far more than any reduction in the AMOC could cool it. This following table I made is the semi-annual heat for the Arctic Ocean, centred at 75N. The warm air is only accurate to a few w/m**2, the small numbers +/- 1 03-22 09-22 to to 09-22 03-22 157 10 Sunshine absorbed 66 164 Warm air from south 0 20 Water freeze to sea ice latent heat 0 0 Atlantic Intermediate Water (AIW) ---- ---- 223 194 Total heat provided The heat above goes into this: 203 194 Radiated to space at 3, -12 degrees SURFACE 20 0 Melt sea ice latent heat ---- ---- 223 194 Total heat provided Note that the latent heat of ice forming & melting has zero effect on the annual heat budget (20 w/m**2 consumed for 6 months, then 20 w/m**2 generated for 6 months). The 42 w/m**2 of un-accounted heat must be mostly, or all, heat that is radiated to space from high altitude because there are large tropospheric temperature lapse rate inversions over the Arctic Ocean in autumn/winter so the "greenhouse effect" works backwards and loses heat instead of trapping it.

Yes, it's becoming increasingly clear that the science can't be advanced as fast as the events unfold so scientists will work out the date range about 99 years after it happens and say "We've got it now ! We predict it'll happen 99 years aqo. Hey, we're right !"

They'll be like half way up to The Moon. You just keep pushing north. Actually there's a pictorial on RealClimate but then it says "This is accurate for ocean but not much accurate for land" so pretty useless. That one's like 2 degrees colder in Cornwall, 4 degrees colder in Scotland, 6 degrees colder in Norway but maybe double that for winter cold (no summer cold) so like maybe 12 degrees colder in DJF in Norway but it's little better than a guess.

Measured at PIES location a few hundred kms west of Ireland the Gulf Stream flow 1993-2018 averaged 32.6 Sv at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eV-g4_2Xwn8.html at 14:56. The AMOC ThermoHaline (plus perhaps some wind-driven SSH-anomaly pressure) Circulation (THC) is thought to be 15 Sv (Stefan Rahmstorf) to 17 Sv (other oceanographer I heard) so the AMOC pressure pumps (the deep overturning) is 15-17/32.6 = 46% to 52% of the pushing force of the Gulf Stream water at that particular location shown (so I don't know near Florida or whatever) so the other 48% to 54% must be driven by the clockwise gyre wind so would be unaffected by the extra fresh water slowing or stopping the AMOC.

​@@JackFrost008 "salty ocean will make it much more difficult to freeze". What the !? Sea ice doesn't form on the high North Atlantic Ocean since the last glaciation "ice age" (when sea ice went down to Spain). Also, can you provide your science that a temperature reduction of the top 20m of ocean by 6*9,000/1,300,000 = 0.04 degrees from 6.00 degrees to 5.96 degrees will materially affect the wind stress of the North Atlantic clockwise gyre and materially change the surface flow speed ? No of course you can't because you're entirely incorrect. There's so much wrong in your quick, lazy comment that it would fill a small book. I'd be willing to spend 15 minutes of my time educating you on some Basics of this topic from my ~200 hours of study on that thing in 2016 if you like, even though there's no audience here. It would be OK for me. You would learn some Basics.

​@@globalwarming382Let's face it: Global warming is a fraud. If climate change was real Barack Obama would have never spent 15 million USD on a pacific beachfront property. Let's face it: Global warming is a fraud. Why? Well, the temperature curves of the climatologists all start at the end of the little ice age 1850/60 - at a temperature low point. If you let the temperature curves start earlier (it was warmer then), then there is no global warming at all. The global warming exists only in the computer and in the media. If climate change was real Barack Obama would have never spent 15 million USD on a pacific beachfront property. They conceal that the CO2 value in the pre-industrial time was higher than 260 or 280 ppm CO2. Already in an encyclopedia of 1885 one found values of 0,04% = 400 ppm. But these higher values were simply left out. How exactly is the fraud & cheating done? 1. They show you only a part of the temperature data 2. They do not show and tell you that there are a lot of higher temperatures from the past by hiding the periods BEFORE the last small ice age 1850-1880. 3. They do not tell you that it was already 3 times warmer in the last 3000 years than now (Minoan warm period 1000 before Christ, Roman warm period around the year zero, the medieval warm period around 1000 and the warm period today ). 4. They do not tell you that the climate is cyclic and that there are several different cycles, which can explain completely , the existing temperature differences without one molecule of CO2. 5. they do not tell that alone a mimimal weaker cloud cover leads to a higher irradiation and higher temperatures. 6. They change data from the past and makes the past colder. NOAA, NASA, WMO, DWD, but also organizations in many countries of the world play dirty They do not tell you for example the end of an interglacial period i.e. They manipulate past data like e.g. in the diagram from the 3rd assessment report of the IPCC (part 1, chap.) where the medieval warm period as well as the small interglacial period simply disappeared ! This is no coincidence as hacked Climategate emails prove. Dr. Jonathan Overpack writes to Dr. David Demming: "We have to get rid of the medieval warm period". 7. They don't tell you that they took out at least 7500 climate stations world-wide starting from the end of the 80's to today. Mainly stations in higher altitudes and cooler regions were deleted from the weather stations net. Disappeared. A comparison of the annual average temperature of all stations before and after the removal of the 7500 stations automatically results in a warming. A "statistically generated" warming by a reduced data basis. This is fraud.. Warming on paper. In Germany there are at the time 08/2022 2575 weather stations of the German weather service DWD. Up to this time 2,526 stations were removed from the measuring network since the beginning of the measurements. Replaced from 1.1.71 to 31.12. 1980 128 stations Replaced from 1.1.81 to 31.12.1990 96 stations Replaced from 1.1.91 to 31.12. 2000 95 stations Replaced from 1.1.00 to 31.12.2010 271 stations Replaced from 1.1.11 to 31.12.2020 464 stations Replaced from 1.1.21 to 31.08.2022 138 stations Estimated by end of this decade if trend continues in the same speed 848 stations from 1/1/2021 to 12/31/2030 Only 30 of these 2575 existing measuring stations have been in continuous operation since 1885. New stations were installed primarily in warmer regions. The german temperature increase of 1.6 degrees Celsius from 1885 to today, sold by the DWD as WARMING, can be called a deliberate fraud with a clear conscience. Because maybe more than 1 Degree Celsius is caused only by a high percentage of New stations in warmer regions. What do we learn from this. More and more top management of government agencies try to fool you. 8. They do not incorporate the heat island effect in their data. The heat island effect or UHI (Urban heat island) is the effect that the environments of almost all measuring stations have changed dramatically in the last 100 years. Rivers and creeks have been straightened, wetlands have been filled in, meadows have been drained, meadows have been turned into fields. In many places you have been roads or residential, commercial or industrisl zones with lots of buildings and paved surface. Also roads, airfields etc. Traffic and industry increased extremely. One or the other cold air corridor was closed off. The cities are further compressed. Higher temperatures are measured as a result. Examples: Rural stations in USA had only 0.09 degrees C temperature increase in 100 years. Urban measuring stations, on the other hand, had a temperature increase of 0.8 degrees in 100 years. That is factor NINE. Nine times. And that although the cities in the USA are usually much more dispersed than the cities in Germany. Depending on the country and the time period, 0.5 - 1 degree of the average temperature would have to be subtracted from the current values in order to consider this urban heat island effect properly. In addition there are from the end of the 80's some in this direction going investigations of the weather service chief of the USA at that time Mr. Karl. The German weather service refuses to consider the heat island effect. Also the chief-liar-webpage klimafakten.de tries this to hide this UHI effect or talk it down. 9. They do not tell you that they never properly compared new temperature measurements to the old technology. The average temperature in Germany remained about the same from 1900 to 1985. From 1985 to 2000, the average temperature increased by 1 degree in total. Then, from 2000 on, the average temperature remained the same again. Strange? No - from 1985 to 2000, the DWD changed its measurement methodology from alcohol or mercury thermometers to PT100 Sensors. According to its own statements, the DWD did NOT carry out any comparative measurements of the old and the new measuring methods. A meteorologist compared both measuring methods for 6.5 years. And found the following facts: The new method resulted in an average difference of plus 0.93 degrees, on 26% of the days the difference was between 1- 3 degrees. So the warming is caused by not taking into account the temperature difference after changing the measuring methods. FRAUD by government agency. 10. homogenization, data correction (Iceland, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, South Africa e.g.) Always it became warmer in the data afterwards. NASA. 2010: 120 measuring stations, 91 showed warming , 2012, 108 stations showed warming. The measured data were the same. Only those of 2012 were fudged. NASA GISS satellite data. Real 18 years hardly any warming trend. After that data manipulation and temperature increase. The second satellite data provider (Alabama) did not go along with the fraud. Satellite measurements are used for fraud. Example: gauges in ports worldwide measure 1.2 to 1.9 mm sea level rise per year. Consistent. Satellite measurements are 3 mm. Rising. 12. Much warmer than today it was in the Middle Stone Age 4500 B.C. likewise in the Neolithic 2500 B.C. also in the Bronze Age 1200 B.C. of course. In the Roman Warm Period around the birth of Christ 6,000 years ago hippos and crocodiles lived in what is now the Sahara 2000 -1400 b.C.. In the Subboreal it was warmer than today (heyday in Egypt) 500 to 370 b.C. wine grew in Upper Bavaria and Scotland. 218 b.C. Hannibal crossed the Alps with elephants Climate optimum of the Middle Ages 1-2 degrees higher temperatures than today 1430 - 1465 cool summers, cold winters, crop failures 1500-1550 general climate improvement from 1550 again cooler, 1-2 degrees lower than before Until 1630 cool summers, glacier advances 1680 - 1730 warm summers mild winters good wine years From 1739/40 severe winters, glacier advances 1755 -1811 warm summers - annual mean temperature like today 1850-1880 cooler period, glaciers growing since 1880 transition to further warming, with peak between 1905 and 1930 (Flohn, Deutscher Geographentag 1959) The public broadcasters and the mainstream media use the most elegant form of lying. They hide relevant information from you. And they bring false reports. If they turn out to be false, there is no correction, and if there is, then it's on the bottom left of page xx. This is how it is done. For thousands of years. Who does Not Know the Truth, is simply a Fool... Yet who Knows the Truth and Calls it a Lie, is a Criminal. Bertolt Brecht
