Clue, your president is an overgrown child who makes it up as he goes along and is being found out. How many more excuses are you guys going to make for this utter uselessness?]]></content:encoded>

Long story short: the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) current that brings warm surface water from the southern hemisphere to the north is showing signs of instability.  The current impacts global climate and, if it substantially weakens or collapses, it&#039;s basically armageddon.<br />
