A study modelling the impact of melting ice suggests scientists have underestimated the risk that an important ocean current will shut down and cause climate chaos ...

Melting ice in the Arctic can significantly impact the AMOC, because fresh water pouring into the North Atlantic dilutes surface waters, preventing them from sinking to the bottom to form deep ...

New research shows melting ice is causing the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to slow down, with ...

A current key to stabilizing climates across the Atlantic and beyond could be one-third weaker by 2040, a new study has ...

"We found that about 128,000 years ago, enhanced melting of Arctic sea ice had a significant effect on the overturning ...

“We found that about 128,000 years ago, enhanced melting of Arctic sea ice had a significant effect on the overturning circulation in the Nordic seas, which is an important component of the Atlantic ...

Thawing ice, from the high peaks to the poles, is producing extraordinarily expensive floods, infrastructure damage and ...

Melting Arctic ice impacts ocean currents and temperatures significantly. Past data links Arctic ice melt to cooling in northern Europe. Study emphasises risks of climate changes affecting global ...

Melting sea ice can cause lower temperatures. Credit ... dozens of climate scientists warned in an open letter that climate change is generating a “serious risk of a major ocean circulation change in ...

AMOC is like a massive ocean circulation conveyor belt that moves warm and cold water around the Atlantic. It's failing, and ...
