AMOC collapse could turn Southern Ocean into carbon source, adding 0.2°C to global warming

Published: 7 April 2026
Simulations show a shutdown of the Atlantic overturning circulation could flip the Southern Ocean from a carbon sink to a source, releasing vast CO2 stores and adding 0.2C of extra warming.
