Most models that investigate
increasing greenhouse gas scenarios predict that the AMOC will slow down as a result of such forcing (Driesschaert et al., 2007; Meehl et al., 2007).

The different colour lines indicate four future
greenhouse gas scenarios known as «Representative Concentration Pathways» — and two extra scenarios that specifically represent the 1.5 C and 2C long - term temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.
They simulated two time periods: 1920 to 2005; and 2006 to 2080, assuming a worst - case
greenhouse gas scenario for the latter time period.
Note that this figure illustrates the uncertainties arising from
different greenhouse gas scenarios and climate models, but almost certainly underestimates the uncertainty associated with carbon - cycle feedbacks.»
