A recent paper in Nature Communications https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39810-w predicts that the AMOC will collapse between 2025-2095 with a 95% confidence interval. Given recent drastic shifts in climate indicators, what is the likelihood that AMOC will collapse in the first 5 years of the paper's predicted range, by 2030?

@traders unresolved and reopened. Apologies for the long delay on that.

Should this be "before 2030" or "before or during 2030"? I haven't read the paper.

@EvanDaniel I interpret "the first five years of [2025-2095]" as "before 2030".

@fwbt That was my interpretation as well, hopefully if that's wrong someone will explain why with reference to the paper text. I'm mostly just noting as mod that it's a common point of confusion whether the word "by" means "before" or "before or including".

@mods an old market, but this was misresolved

predicts YES

Why did this resolve? There is no answer to this yet

predicts NO

Why did this resolve?

Outlook still seems to be relatively optimistic. We'll just have to see.

predicts NO

Does this have to close so early?
