The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, AMOC, helps regulate global climate by transporting vast amounts of heat across the oceans and shaping weather patterns worldwide. Is AMOC approaching a tipping point? Climate Watch host Zhao Ying speaks with Paul Beckwith, a climate system scientist based in Ottawa and a popular content creator on YouTube.
