They know why.
Never believe these cowardly fucks when they try to absolve themselves of knowledge of environmental collapse.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

i mean even if they know the cause of the cause that's not the same as knowing the cause if you get me
it's probably more accurate to say they don't know what climate change-induced process is causing the cooling but that's not as good a headline
This. I work at a research lab and we don't know shit about shit. Sure, we can gesture vaguely at anthropogenic climate change, but that doesnt get you published.
The fact that it's probably several different climate-induced processes causing the change makes it very difficult to establish causality. All we know definitively is that shits fucked

I would have assumed it was due to a weakening of the North Equatorial/Gulf Stream Current. the IPCC Sixth Assessment said that would be a thing that happens, though it probably wouldn't collapse entirely.
even so, a weakening would have dramatic impacts.
kinda surprised it isn't mentioned in the article as a "maybe" or whatever.
probably wouldn't collapse entirely
probably
The AMOC weakening was my first thought as well. In fact there was a previous study that predicted this could happen around 2025 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/25/gulf-stream-could-collapse-as-early-as-2025-study-suggests
And that’s… good? Right? 
*narrator:* it was not good
The good news is that the Brits won’t have grey rainy winters anymore. Bad news is they’re gonna need steeper pitched roofs.
It's an updraft of 
ium, judging by how so many people are taking it during consistent global temperature average increases.
