July 27, 2023 – CBC – England and France could suddenly get a new, colder climate, as the ocean current that gives them their normally mild winters is close to collapse, a new study suggests.

The current known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), crucial for warming Western Europe, could disappear as soon as 2025, according to research published this week in Nature Communications. And that would literally cast a sudden chill over the region.
