If we keep ignoring the 2 elephants in the room, China and India we are wasting our time.

"warm and complete the circulation" at 4:10 is incorrect, not that it matters for the Social-Journalist-Public-Joe-Bloe stuff since it's a loop anyway. The circulation starts in the Greenland Sea where deep convective chimneys pump water to the south (note 1) and that's what drives it so that's the AMOC and that's it's start & end, not starting & ending just north of Antarctica where the ignorant video lady said it starts & ends. Note 1: The AMOC flow is 15-17 Sv but only 8 Sv leaves the Greenland Sea through the 3 valleys which are 1,000 m deep so the other 7-9 Sv of flow must get added just south of the Greenland-Scotland ridge where the NADW descends from 1,000 m (meaning like 200-1,000 m) down to 3,500 m (meaning like 800-3,500 m roughly or some such, find a WOCE GO-SHIP standard A16 salinity section to check the details yourself you lazy bunch). I've never come across what part of the pressure push for the extra 7-9 Sv of flow is new push just south of the Greenland-Scotland ridge (so it would still exist even if the Greenland Sea chimneys stopped) and what part is simply "entraining" more water due to the pressure out of the Greenland Sea having extra push available that could be used after it broke out through the valleys into the deep ocean.

Climate communicator??? The science is already confusing enough, now we have to throw meaningless titles into the conversation too. This is why global warming failed. The message and the messengers were activists masking the actual information.

This winter 2023-2024 we have had cold air stuck over Scandinavia several times, bringing temperatures way below normal. We have had several negative temperature records. Today it was minus 42 C in the north of Sweden. Could this be because of the weakening Gulf Stream?

We crossed the "tipping point" in the 1980s i think as it occurs when a critical threshold of emissions reached a point..not when the effects became aparent

Can't help thinking that we are pretty much screwed, the only thing which might help would be planet-wide cooperation to help mitigate some of the seemingly ineviitable environmental crises which are, most assuredly heading our way. Tragically though, that is less likely now that ever as there is increasing polarisation and politicisation of such concerns and, unfortunately, the vast majority of the world's population is either too wrapped up in the trivia which bombards us from every direction or just overwhelmed by the enormity and range of the problems which face us.
Probaly the worst possible time in the history of Homo Sapiens to bring children into the world so, if you are thinking about getting married and starting a family, think again.

Soooooo….. is this where we're supposed to believe the 'human impact' on the AMOC ? lol More natural cycles, doing natural things, naturally…. the same as before humans, and the same after we're all gone. Nature is awesome, what's less awesome is the human capacity for self-centeredness and believing that they are affecting million year old geologic processes. If we'd all just drive electric cars, those pesky plate tectonics would be so mean… hiLARRYous !!
