ReadingSatellites show the north Atlantic releasing 18% less heat than 40 years ago.

The current keeps Europe mild, and some research suggests it could collapse as soon as 2060.

University of Reading researchers combined satellite energy-balance data with reanalyses to infer the heat released, in a study still under peer review.

Stefan Rahmstorf of Potsdam says heat flux is not necessarily a better gauge than sea-surface temperature.

Britain is spending £81 million on an early-warning system for the Atlantic current’s collapse due by 2030.
