I'd highly recommend the analysis I linked if you did not yet check it, he discusses various papers and differences in definitions.

Took a min to read the link, that was a surprisingly good summary.

My whole concern with the AMOC is that given it's a non-linear system, and we've seen evidence of 'fast shutdowns' in the climate record before, I fear we are sleepwalking towards an event that could have catastrophic consequences for the global south, and problems there do not stay there. People flee rather than starve.

I also worry what happens to western liberal democracy under the weight of that influx if we're already seeing populism from today's level of migration.
