As we come to the end of the video and I think about all that we've discussed and all that I've read to get here, it's very hard to get away from the fact that if we continue going the way we are, there is likely to be a significant slowing down or even collapse of the AMOC in many of our lifetimes. But when's it going to happen?

I think we can say 2025 is almost certainly ruled out because of the data points we discussed being too unreliable. On the other end of the scale, the IPCC's estimate around the end of the century to me feels too optimistic. But the decade that does seem to come up more reliably than any other is something around the 2050s.

The answer to stopping this is as obvious as you might have expected and an answer you probably already knew. We must significantly slow down the rate at which our planet is warming. It's so simple and so obvious and yet sometimes it can feel like such a huge undertaking. Often when we think of climate change, we think of the things we can experience or we can see.

The droughts, the extreme weather, the temperatures, the floods, the melting sea ice. But rarely do we think about what we can't see, the underlying causes. Forces just like the AMOC that go under the radar, yet have the ability to severely alter life on Earth. and it always finds a way to bounce back and to respond. And it would do so again if or when the AMOC collapses.

Whilst a collapsing AMOC is not new news geologically, we've never had such an advanced, populous civilization living on Earth when it's happened before. So yeah, planet Earth will survive this event. Whether humanity would, or at the very least, billions of people's current ways of lives would, is a more serious question.

The AMOC demonstrates just how intricate and delicate the systems that govern Earth are, and it's as mesmerising and awe-inspiring as it is deadly and dangerous. Like so much on planet Earth, the AMOC joins the very long list of things we urgently need to take care of, and in my view it has to be near or even at the top of that list.
