Ocean's cold blob confuses scientists
A new study confirms that a persistent cold patch in the North Atlantic, known as the “cold blob,” is driven by a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). This slowdown, linked to human-driven climate change, disrupts heat transport in the ocean and raises concerns about potential abrupt climate shifts. Scientists warn that if the AMOC collapses, it could cause severe global impacts, including rising sea levels, colder Europe, and droughts in Africa.
