Part of the challenge of this climate information is that it's so bloody complicated. Yes, Nature is doing a scientific write-up, but even reading the abstract all I get is "severe impacts on the climate in the North Atlantic region". What does that mean? Ok, well, why don't I at least look up the AMOC in the first place.

Quick dash over to wikipedia [1] and I find out that...

> The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is part of a global thermohaline circulation in the oceans and is the zonally integrated component of surface and deep currents in the Atlantic Ocean.

While I am not a scientist, I consider myself fairly well-read and not an idiot. But when the first sentence of a Wikipedia article needs an ELI5 translation by ChatGPT... you know you're in for a reading adventure.

(But by the 3rd paragraph Wikipedia has a relatively understandable "what if this goes wrong" breakdown)
