It doesn't stop overnight. In fact it has noticeably slowed down already. Of course the process becomes quicker when Greenland freshwater runoff becomes massive.
Yeah, I know it's a bit of a meme within the community. But surely scientists should start modelling in 'faster than expected' to get more accurate results.

Tl;dr, AMOC collapse extremely likely (95% confidence) from 2025-2095. So, within many people's lifetimes.

If the records shattered this year tell us anything, it is that these models are too optimistic. Undoubtedly, this will occur during our lives.

That's a pretty good spread of years, though. Is that something that they can reduce with more data or technological advances?
