       The ocean engine has one "big beast" component, on top of all the smaller components: a sinking of surface water in some places that is very slowly shunted around the deep until it eventually returns to the surface. There is a lot of debate about how much climate change might make it slow down or stop, but the idea that it's even a remote possibilty in the next few decades is very scary. We must decarbonise ASAP.https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/25/gulf-stream-could-collapse-as-early-as-2025-study-suggests#ocean #AMOC #climate
