This, I think, is the same mechanism which in the North Atlantic could stuff up the Gulf Stream. Indeed, there are signs that this is already happening.

Britain might very well be a much colder place in a mere couple of decades time.

You're right that this could have implications for AMOC, it just shows how interconnected these tipping points are and the potential for cascade effects. Jonas Rockstrom spelt out exactly the problems in understanding where we are with AMOC at the tipping points conference last year and this just adds to the complexity.

Not to worry, economists added up all the tipping points using cost-benefit analysis (yes, they are idiots who don't know the first thing about physics) and found only a small drop in GDP, they even found an AMOC shutdown would be of economic benefit.
