A recent CNN headline, “Critical Atlantic Ocean current system is showing early signs of collapse, prompting warning from scientists“ misleads its readers into believing that a collapse of a critical Atlantic Ocean current is pending. This is false.
The CNN article opens by saying:
A crucial system of ocean currents may already be on course to collapse, according to a new report, with alarming implications for sea level rise and global weather — leading temperatures to plunge dramatically in some regions and rise in others.
The CNN story is referring to a study in Science Advances, titled Physics-based early warning signal shows that AMOC is on tipping course.
Dozens of other media outlets picked up the story, also running frightening headlines, all blaming climate change. For example:
