The system of ocean currents that regulates the climate for a swath of the planet could collapse sooner than expected, a new analysis found.
Money quote...
They then used the mathematical properties of a tipping-point-like system to extrapolate from these trends. That led them to predict that the Atlantic circulation could collapse around midcentury, though it could potentially occur as soon as 2025 and as late as 2095.
At the top of the hour - I turned on MSNBC to see if they'd at least say "Later in the broadcast we will cover climate change and developments in the Atlantic Ocean..." They didn't even do that. It was just Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump until I stopped watching which was at ~1:08.
At least in the Onion they'd have something like this...
"There are troubling developments involving climate change and Atlantic Ocean. The world as we know it could start to end. If it does - horrific numbers of animals and creatures will die, climate chaos will begin, flooding, droughts, wildfires and the like will become severe and terrible. Eventually there will be wars over such necessities as food and water. The beginning of the end could start as late as 2095 or as early as 2025. Which of course is just two short years from now. Mike, the weatherman - what do you have to say?"
"I dunno. I'm just a meteorologist not a climatologist. But it's really hot out there right now. A scorcher. Drink water. Stay in the shade if you can. Know the signs of heat exhaust—"
"Sorry, Mike. Time's up. We're gonna talk about Trump and 2024 for the rest of the broadcast!"
