The paper is here.
It’s worth reading Stefan Rahmstorf’s perspective on this for context
What effects would the collapse of this current have on regional and global climate? I assume the effects for Europe would be substantial but what about the rest of the world?
Basically it would make for a colder Europe and warmer tropics. Harsher storms in north america likely because of the change in warmth at the tropics.
This is obviously bad for the environment in Europe etc but as a joke: After spending 10+ days in 38-45 degrees weather with a cold night of 33, I’m all for colder Europe!
This is from a paper another user submitted in the lemmy.ml collapse community:
An abrupt AMOC collapse would cause profound and abrupt shifts in regional weather patterns and water cycles.
An AMOC collapse under warming reduces the growth suitability of three major staple crops – wheat, maize and rice, which provide over 50% of global calories.
It’s worth reading through that whole section. TL; DR: Nothing good.
Edited to add this horrifying graph from the paper.
Yeah, I’m not sure why, but the link I posted keeps breaking. Try this:

If that doesn’t work, you can do a search on www.oecd-ilibrary.org for “climate tipping points.”
Kinda funny that that the thumbnail is literally more TwiXer shit.
