Against such a highly anthropocene background, local effects of a faltering ocean current can be particularly harsh. Take the western Sahel. Water scarcity and declining agricultural yields due to increasing heat stress are becoming acute anyway, while in the small part of Africa from Mauritania to Nigeria more than a billion people will be added in the next eighty years.
