How likely is an #AMOC shutdown? Here's our latest study based on 768 runs with 38 standard climate models (the CMIP6 models). Note these do not include any meltwater from Greenland mass loss, so might underestimate the risk a bit. 2/2 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

A healthy planet is possible. #GEO7 highlights that investing US$8 trillion/year until 2050 in conserving and restoring biodiversity and achieving net-zero emissions can help create a healthier planet & provide safely managed water to 300M people. The time to act is now: ow.ly/XqUN50XInSm
