Summary
Scientists are increasingly worried about the potential collapse of a key Atlantic ocean current. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, AMOC, helps regulate global climate by transporting vast amounts of heat across the oceans and shaping weather patterns worldwide. Is AMOC approaching a tipping point? Climate Watch host Zhao Ying speaks with Paul Beckwith, a climate system scientist based in Ottawa and a popular content creator on YouTube.
