The systems that so often take a backseat in the climate conversation. That is, until something goes wrong. Perhaps the most influential of these ocean current systems is the AMOC, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a keystone of Earth's climate system. And a system scientists have warned isn't just slowing down, but could actually collapse as early as 2025.

While this has happened before, it hasn't happened for nearly 10,000 years. And there's one big difference this time. We're here. How can something so life-altering have snuck under the radar without us knowing? If the worst were to happen, what would happen to life on Earth? I'm James Stewart and you're watching Astrum Earth. Join me in this video as we find out what's going on below the surface.

Okay, so that's pretty intense, isn't it? This is the year. We're in 2025. But considering the AMOC collapse is what inspired the 2004 film The Day After Tomorrow, it doesn't feel like that is just around the corner, does it? There doesn't seem to be much coverage or even urgency on this subject. Indeed, a lot of people won't have ever heard of the AMOC.

Perhaps that's one of the big problems with a force you can't see or measure. because the truth is there have been indications that the AMOC has been slowing down for the last 60 or 70 years, as our planet has warmed. And some scientists have gone a step further, suggesting the AMOC has declined by at least 15% since 1950, and is in its weakest state in more than a millennium. The big clue?

A big cold blob that's appeared over the Northern Atlantic. Bizarrely, this region is the only place in the world that has cooled in the past 20 years or so, while everywhere else on the planet has warmed. Any guesses as to why that might be? Yeah, it's the AMOC slowing down. One of the AMOC's main jobs is to shift heat around. It's one of our planet's largest heat transport systems.

It's moving the equivalent of 50 times the amount of energy humanity uses. The same amount of energy that flows through one million power stations all at once. So when it slows down, this region gets colder.

Since 2021, the general thinking in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, was that the probability of crossing the tipping point for a collapse this century was less than 10%, with medium confidence.
