Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points (2022, neutral): “The North Atlantic cooling trend (i.e., the “ warming hole ” ) is centered over the SPG and in models is often closely linked to SPG weakening ( 65 , 66 ), although others have associated it with AMOC slowdown ( 67 ).”
CMIP6 Models Predict Significant 21st Century Decline of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (2020, neutral): “This is at odds with CMIP5 models (Cheng et al., 2013; Weaver et al., 2012), which generally show a weak decline over the 20th century, and with reconstructions based on proxies (Caesar et al., 2018; Rahmstorf et al., 2015; Thornalley et al., 2018).”
Evolution of the Global Coupled Climate Response to Arctic Sea Ice Loss during 1990–2090 and Its Contribution to Climate Change (2018, background): “This also occurs in observations of AMOC (Caesar et al. 2018).”
