미국, 붕괴 위험에 처한 대서양 해류 추적 시스템 해체 예정

The dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative by the Trump administration creates a critical data gap in monitoring the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—a major heat distribution system essential to global climate stability. Scientists warn that AMOC may be approaching a tipping point toward potential collapse, making continuous observation data vital precisely when it's most essential. The removal of 900+ monitoring devices over 15 months undermines the scientific foundation needed to detect and predict catastrophic climate shifts.
