This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

What I’m getting from this is that the AMOC at some point as it loses stability is going to pop quickly from its current state into another stable state. That as opposed to it just slowly declining forever. Because of this the pop might catch us off guard.
Let me know if you have a different interpretation. It’s not the densest science, but it’s still pretty dense for me.
