The increase in UK rainfall is largely due to an increase in rain intensity, i.e. the amount that falls on wet days, rather than the number of wet days increasing. A recent study found that last winter had ~20% more rain because of climate change. www.worldweatherattribution.org/autumn-and-w...

At Climate Scale, we understand the importance of combining high-quality climate data with a comprehensive understanding of climate mechanisms, projections, and their limitations.
The paper shows that current AMOC trends towards a tipping point are even greater than previously expected and that this might be linked to uncertainties in current global climate models, such as freshwater influx biases.
As I mentioned, a new study has given more details on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its potential collapse due to freshwater influx into the North Atlantic. 🌊
Climate tipping points represent critical thresholds in our environment, beyond which the climate system may experience irreversible changes. Recognizing these points is crucial, as most current efforts to assess the impact of climate change rely on data and uncertainty in climate simulations.
Today I'd like to talk about a recent study from the University of Utrecht talking about the potential collapse of the AMOC. Please share what your thoughts are! 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...#AMOC#ClimateChange#Oceanography
A complex global climate model shows an AMOC tipping event.
