Reading headlines of the #gulfstreamcollapse "collapse". Main stream journalists can't seem to tell us the difference between the gulf stream and the #AMOC, because apparently they think they are the same thing, which the scientists themselves agree they are not. The gulf stream is mainly driven by winds and there is no sign of winds stopping. That's good, because winds are driven by the sun and if the sun cools, well that's it for everything. And the thermalhaline circulation of the AMOC contributes a small amount to that gulf circulation. Which I get, doesn't mean the collapse of the AMOC is not serious or imminent, but I'd like to get the real story not sensationalism. Which makes me kind of not trust articles coming out of publications like #theguardian or #thenewyorktimes and other main stream publication that parrot each other.
