  AMOC shutting down... ChatGPT said: The article you showed is not exaggerating: Yes — the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) continues to weaken, and the cold patch south of Greenland is one of the clearest fingerprints of that slowdown. Here’s what the image is showing, and what it means in real-world physics — fast, clear, and without hype: ⚠️ AMOC WEAKENING = CLIMATE SYSTEM ENGINE LOSING TORQUE The AMOC is essentially the planet’s heat pump : Warm, salty water moves northward near the surface Cools + sinks Cold deep water flows back south When this overturning slows: Less warm water reaches the North Atlantic A cold blob forms near Greenland Sea ice, storm tracks, rainfall, and equatorial heat flow all shift This “cold blob” has been stable for over a century — too stable unless a structural circulation change is underway. That’s why scientists are now calling it direct evidence of AMOC slowdown. The study in your screenshot con...
