Professor Stefan Rahmstorf from Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research criticized the current lack of credible actions to prevent climate change, highlighting the insufficient response to the potential crisis.

More than 40 climate scientists have urged Nordic ministers to take decisive action to prevent global warming from disrupting the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a vital ocean current system.

The letter from the scientists calls for global measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the risks associated with climate change.

Professor Peter Ditlevsen from the University of Copenhagen warned that drastic climate changes could make regions like Britain and Ireland resemble northern Norway, leading to severe consequences.

In a letter to the Nordic Council of Ministers, the scientists warned that such changes would have devastating and irreversible effects, especially for Nordic countries.

The AMOC is crucial for transporting warm water into the North Atlantic, which helps maintain Europe's mild climate.

A potential collapse of this ocean current system poses significant risks to living conditions in the Arctic and could have devastating, irreversible impacts on Nordic countries and beyond.

If the AMOC collapses, it could lead to increased cooling in the Northern Hemisphere, rising sea levels in the Atlantic, reduced precipitation in Europe and North America, and shifts in monsoon patterns in South America and Africa.

In 2022, global subsidies for fossil fuels reached a record $7 trillion, indicating a lack of serious efforts to avert climate disasters, according to the International Monetary Fund.

The scientists' letter calls for actions that may include advocating for global greenhouse gas emission reductions to address the looming climate threats.

Research indicates that the risks of changes to the Atlantic current have been significantly underestimated, with a serious likelihood of surpassing critical tipping points in the coming decades.

The scientists emphasized the urgent need for action, suggesting that the Nordic Council of Ministers should advocate for global greenhouse gas emission reductions.
