The truth is that for decades, scientists have been <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/stories\/ipcc-we-cannot-look-away-climate-risks-are-cascading\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">trying to tell us<\/a> that that\u2019s not how climates change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A climate hypothesis that will keep you up at night.<\/strong> Imagine you\u2019re in a canoe \u2014 another passenger keeps rocking the canoe from side to side, the canoe <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/science\/climate-tipping-points-1.6918795\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">tipping<\/a> more to each side every time. Eventually, it\u2019ll tip just a hair too far and completely and swiftly flip over. That\u2019s how scientists believe climate change works.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) transports warm water, among other things, from Africa up north, regulating the global climate by distributing heat and energy around the planet.

As that water travels north and cools, it sinks because high salinity increases its density, and travels back south along the bottom of the ocean. Cold freshwater from melting ice caps in the north would change both the salinity and the temperature of the nearest parts of the ocean and disrupt the AMOC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Out of the frying pan\u2026<\/strong> Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world, according to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eea.europa.eu\/publications\/european-climate-risk-assessment\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">European Environment Agency<\/a>.
