Why Isn’t the Mainstream Media Reporting that Ocean Circulation Is Doing Well?

For decades, mainstream media outlets have asserted that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is on the verge of collapse, bringing catastrophic consequences to the planet. This is false. Recent research indicates that climate change has not altered the Atlantic Ocean current, despite repeated claims by the media and some supposed experts to the contrary.
The 2004 Hollywood disaster film The Day After Tomorrow showed an AMOC shutdown plunging the world into an instant Ice Age. The story was loosely based on some scientists predictions that the AMOC and the regional ocean currents that feed into it, were slowing dangerously down. The mainstream media hyped those unverified assertions, setting up the science fiction blockbuster for success.
Mainstream media outlets have periodically pushed the same doomsday narrative, warning that the AMOC is slowing, weakening, or collapsing, with dire predictions of climate chaos for each condition.
