Future Global Warming Scenarios IN A STUDY COMMISSIONED BY THE PENTAGON

present a very alarming scenario regarding the short-term consequences of global warming. This scenario, which predicts a shutdown of the Atlantic Ocean’s conveyor circulation in the next 10 to 15 years, is based on analogies to two large and abrupt climate changes, which occurred 12,700 and 8200 ye...
