Doom thinking is unproductive, I know, but it is hard not to feel a type of existential dread when faced with the latest climate science research. The ongoing research on the AMOC (Atlantic Meridian Ocean Current), for example, provides more and more terrifying results.

Political scientists: I really feel that we need to be fully aware of this research and we need to integrate it more seriously in our own research programmes!

It is existential. But there is a probability that it will not happen. The earlier we cut our emissions the lower is the probability for a collapse.

We have to move on with climate protection anyway.

But the risk of a total loss has to be communicated.

@Cladupont @politicalscience This is my OhD proposal: the intersection of climate change and co flick. Hopefully a university accepts my proposal and admits me so I can study this.

OK but what are these results?

AMOC might collapse when it is reduced by one third due to greenland ice melting.

If AMOC collapses temperature will decrease by 3°C per decade in Northwestern Europe.

In modelling the temperature decrease might be 10°C or more.

Global area for food production might be halved.

@Cladupont @politicalscience Couldn't share that notion more... If PolSci has ONE task now, it is to develop scenarios for how our societies and polities can survive the oncoming climate catastrophe without giving up democracy and basic human rights.
