Is Europe’s Climate at Risk? Understanding the AMOC and Global Weather Shifts

Why is Europe warmer than Canada? In this episode, Max and Tony unpack the science behind the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—a crucial ocean current keeping Europe mild. With AMOC slowing due to melting ice and climate change, Europe could face a dramatic cooling, energy shocks, and mass migration. They explore the risks, solutions, and why there’s still hope if we act now.

Oceanographer Stefan Rahmstorf explains why Amoc breakdown could be catastrophic for both humans and marine life.
