Scientists warn of Atlantic current disruptions
A new study indicates that the North Atlantic remains cold, particularly south of Greenland and Iceland. The projections suggest that a weakening of a major ocean current system, known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), is believed to be the cause of the region's temperature decline of about one degree Celsius since 1900. The findings show that the cooling extends to deeper layers as well, threatening the stability of the system and increasing the risks of sea level rise along the eastern coast of the United States, as well as decreases in temperatures across Europe. Scientists warn that continued weakening of this system could lead to catastrophic climate changes.
