Researchers have predicted the collapse of the AMOC could happen any time between 2025 and 2095 — far sooner than previous predictions, although not all scientists are convinced.

No thanks. Considering they don’t support the consensus on climate change and are a far right, anti-government, anti-immigration group. I doubt their articles on climate change are factually sound. So miss us with your bullshit.

I wouldn’t dismiss an article just because a fact check website down rates it.

In this instance, though, it’s not far off. “The famous scientists at the Newsweek lab got things wrong a few decades ago, so all scientists today must be wrong.”

They are not far right, just right. And very credible. I’ll look for another source I guess.

“And very credible.” Lol. These are opinion pieces you are linking to. Let us know when you have a scientific article (ie Science, PNAS, Nature) to support your climate denial.

“Just right” is no more credible than “far right.” Right-wing politics is a pack of lies and absolutely nothing else.

That’s already been addressed.

So do you have a better citation?

Are you okay now? I had to sit down after about six paragraphs. Metaphorically, of course; I wouldn’t stand up to read a dissertation on climate denial.

There are much newer wrong predictions as well. Point is though, that you can’t find a correct prediction.

Not exactly a news source known for it’s unbiased and trustworthy reporting.

Even if it were credible, the article is almost 10 years old.

You need to do better than use a far-right organization’s outlet. Go to the true scientists, not reporters with a political agenda.

Reputable sources such as NASA, the United Nations, and the National Geographic Society, which base their conclusions on scientific evidence and rigorous research are much more reliable.

It is understandable to feel unhappy with the current reality. However, ignoring the situation and trying to find evidence that it is not real will not benefit anyone. In fact, it may even cause harm. As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry.

It is important to face the reality and take appropriate actions to improve the situation. How else will a difference ever be made?

Edit: I named American websites (apart from the UN), because I assume by your source that you are American. This is a global issue, though. European reputable institutions:

That article was the epitome of the old saying “figures don’t lie, but liars can figure”. They cherry picked studies and statistics to support the conclusion they wanted to reach, absolute garbage “science”.
