Atlantic Ocean circulation nearing ‘devastating’ tipping point, study finds
Collapse in system of currents that helps regulate global climate would be at such speed that adaptation would be impossible.

Likely impact on Southern Hemisphere is it will get even hotter and wetter.

But lets just keep approving new coal mines and gas projects here in Australia. Lets expand use of carbon capture and storage to justify new fossil fuels, even though CCS is complex, seldom meets anything near capacity expectation targets, and is prone to leakage and issues of permanence.
