The paper explores how global warming, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), and the thermohaline catastrophe impact the climate of the North Atlantic region. The AMO, a natural ocean-atmosphere cycle, influences air temperature, river discharge, tropical cyclones, and mid-latitude weather patterns in the North Atlantic. It plays a significant role in temperature variations in Europe and can lead to regional warming or cooling that surpasses global warming effects. The recent warming in the North Atlantic is attributed to a combination of human-induced warming and a shift in the AMO phase. The researchers suggest that a thermohaline catastrophe in the region is unlikely in the near future.
