You know the "best" part? As far as I can tell, each new study tends to refine the timeline estimate sooner (and not just because new studies are in the future compared to older ones). Personally, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the collapse happens within a decade.
This is where I'm at. These changes to the climate are going to exponentially compound on each other, and feed back into each other.
Like, we're causing a 6th mass extinction event, and people really think we're going to be able to reverse that and all of the hell that will come with it? Ocean currents are going to collapse, and you (not you specifically, OC) don't think that's going to snowball other issues both inside and outside the ocean?
We're fucked, our futures were robbed from us because of entitlement and greed, and I'm supposed to give a flying fuck about anything because why? Society says so? Society fucked us over, it could all collapse tomorrow for all I care, as a species, we fucking deserve it.
To be clear, I'm talking specifically about suspecting an AMOC collapse sooner, specifically because I'm extrapolating from a trend of newer AMOC collapse studies revising the estimate sooner. I'm not talking about predicting generalized doom because of vibes.
(I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying I'm speaking a little more scientifically than that.)
