The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could collapse as early as 2025 because of climate change, a study says.

The system, part of the "global conveyor belt," could slow down or stop completely by mid-century, a new study finds.

This is the conclusion based on new calculations from the University of Copenhagen that contradict the latest report from the IPCC.

Collapse of the ocean current could lead to dramatic weather changes
