The potential collapse of the American Meridional Overturning Circulation - 'Amoc', or the Atlantic Current - and its consequences has been under study for generations. The most recent update by scientists is that is it is on the brink of irreversibility, due to global overheating. This very fact, all by itself, should cause all policy makers, everywhere, to want to hit the brakes entirely on any more human contribution to global greenhouse gases. Alas, it will not. Not without the will of politicians. And that requires the will of the people, which in turn requires the media to cycle catch up with what is actually going on. Lets look at the mention of the AMOC in the parliaments of two of the countries that will be most affected: According to one journalist who has examined the question: "It remains unclear whether growing coverage of AMOC has focused policymakers’ minds on the question of AMOC collapse. The topic has been debated three times in UK parliament – in 2006, 2024 and 2025, according to the parliamentary record. It was also the subject of one written question in 2024, to which a minister replied that the government had “not assessed the effect” of any slowing or collapse of the AMOC, but was “monitoring ongoing research”. In Ireland – another country whose mild climate relies on the AMOC – official records show the issue has been debated twice, in 2024 and 2025. It has also been the subject of one written question." This idea is: Regardless of the media cycle, governments need to put the biggest preventable disasters of all time, that are all imminent - the collapse of AMOC, runaway climate change, and biodiversity collapse - at the front and centre of their agenda. NOW.
