THE HOLE IN THE MAP OF THE WORLD.

The article explores the concept of a "warming hole" in the North Atlantic, where temperatures have not risen as much as in other regions due to a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). This current system, which transports warm water from the tropics to northern Europe, is crucial for global climate systems. Scientists are studying ice cores from Greenland to gain insights into past climate changes and predict future tipping points. The article emphasizes the importance of addressing the potential consequences of a weakened AMOC. It also discusses a scientific paper that predicts the collapse of the AMOC, causing disruptions to global climate patterns and food systems. However, the paper has faced criticism from other scientists who question the data and assumptions used in the study. Further research and action are needed to understand and mitigate the risks associated with the potential collapse of the AMOC. [Extracted from the article]
