González Alemán, AEMET expert, warns “of the possibility of a dangerous and significant climate event”

Juan Jesus Gonzalez Aleman – an outstanding scientist, Doctor of Physics, specializing in atmospheric dynamics and modeling. Currently working as a researcher at the State Meteorological Agency (St.AEMET).

A state agency expert shared a publication in which he warned about a potentially dangerous weather event that may be lurkingaccording to a study published in the prestigious journal “Science achievements” This phenomenon refers to collapse Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical component of the global climate system that plays a fundamental role in regulating climate throughout the world.

Dr. J. J. Gonzalez Aleman explains that AMOC, often compared to a kind of “global conveyor belt”, It is responsible for transporting heat from the tropics north into the Atlantic, influencing weather patterns on both sides of the ocean. However, recent research shows that this vital circulation is gradually weakening due to global warmingwhich could lead to a sudden collapse in the coming decades.

Consequences around the world

The weakening or collapse of AIOC will have significant and widespread consequences throughout the world. Europe, for example, may experience dramatic climate changes such as colder winters or warmer, drier summers. Moreover, this phenomenon will have global consequences, such as sea level rise and changes rainfall patterns that can affect coastal and agricultural communities all over the planet.

Although it is not yet possible to specify when this collapse will occur, Scientists warn urgent action is critical to tackling the causes of climate change and mitigate the risks associated with this potentially catastrophic event.
