Prof. Rahmstorf discusses the danger of a major ocean circulation change with massive climate impacts around the world.
This lecture was held on the occasion of Rahmstorf being awarded the Alfred Wegener Medal for his scientific achievements, the most prestigious award of the European Geosciences Union EGU.
A peer-reviewed, open-access and fully referenced article (understandable for non-experts) on the same topic was published in Oceanography magazine the week before this lecture: tos.org/oceanography/article/is-the-atlantic-overturning-circulation-approaching-a-tipping-point
