If you want to convince me Geoengineering is a bad idea, you must first convince me that AMOC collapse, permarfost thaw, wetland methane feedbacks, collapsing carbon sinks, Amazon dieback, Twaithes collapse etc. can be solved by emissions reductions alone.

A severe slowdown or collapse of the AMOC would disrupt Europe’s agriculture, infrastructure, welfare and economy on a profound scale. A patch of water nicknamed the "cold blob" just south of Greenland could be a warning sign of things to come. #AMOC #ClimateCrisis shorturl.at/u4pZ3

A climate nightmare lurks in the Atlantic. Europe is starting to pay attention.
A slowdown of ocean currents that would disrupt life on the continent on an unthinkable scale.

The world at ~1.5°C above preindustrial. Fossil fuel usage continues unabated, pushing more greenhouse gas pollution into the atmosphere, so heating will continue. We are *firmly* on track to pass 2°C We are *absolutely* not prepared for the associated climate chaos.

🚨NASA CERES satellite data shows another 4-year average record for global Absorbed Solar Radiation. Earth's Energy Imbalance has more than doubled over the past 20 years. We've been trying to warn about this and the impacts for years, but few seem to care.
