Global warming can still trigger brutal cold snaps—and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is one of the big reasons why. This massive “ocean conveyor belt” helps regulate weather ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

The ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths ...

Scientists have long suspected that high salinity levels in the deep ocean were responsible for keeping carbon dioxide locked ...

Warming oceans and melting ice are weakening the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a key system that regulates global climate. Scientists warn that continued slowdown could trigger abrupt ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

The U.S. president’s vows have chilled relationships between American and Greenlandic researchers, halting some projects and making collaborations uncertain.

The last ice age did not shut down Atlantic ocean currents, and that discovery may help explain future climate risks.

They urged further research. Scientists issue warning about looming threat to coastal communities: 'Will be essential for effective adaptation' first appeared on The Cool Down.

We don’t need an army of actuaries to tell us that the catastrophic impacts of climate change will be felt beyond the traditional horizons…” said Mark Carney – the then Bank of England Governor ...
