Listen the scientists!

Here is a reminder that already last year 44 experts directed a powerful warning to policy makers about the risk of #AMOC shutdown. What more can we do to get heard?
It’s like the saying that every disaster movie starts with scientists warning and being ignored.

Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf @rahmstorf.bsky.social · Oct 20

44 experts from 15 countries issued a stark warning about the dangers of crossing an ocean circulation tipping point. I had the honor to present it to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson yesterday. #AMOC

This summer we have been counteracting green washing by #Nordea on the streets of Helsinki. The science is clear: We need to act now. As a first step, sign our petition to the largest financier of fossil fuel industry in Finland.
