Beyond Florida, the entire east coast of the US will become not just drastically warmer if the AMOC collapses, but will experience dramatic local sea level rise (warm water is more voluminous than cold water). Think Boston with the climate of modern-day Alabama. | ||

Both the recent Acapulco and Jamaica hurricanes had non-normal intensification as they hit the warn coastal waters. I wonder how devastating this is going to be to Florida and the Atlantic states. Every time there is a hurricane it hits the Cat 5 physical limit. Fort Lauderdale and Miami are underwater several times a year as is. The seawall at Daytona is gone. It is going to be destabilizing. As long as it doesn't affect the corn growing in Iowa. | ||
