Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050, researchers ...

The Arctic is warming at three to four times the global average. However, new research suggests the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected Arctic warming by up to 2 degrees Celsius by ...

Five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and 100 times larger than the Amazon River, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is by far the world's largest ocean current. But this key system is ...

While there have been signs the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has slowed, it could soon stop altogether. That would be very, very bad. Reading time 3 minutes The collapse of one of the ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, ...

The global ocean “conveyor belt” circulation, shown in part here as red and blue lines, circulates cooler seawater below the surface and warmer seawater at the surface throughout the world’s oceans.

Human-induced climate change is causing shifts in the world's largest ocean current and westerly wind systems also seen during periods of ice age and warmer intervals in Earth's history, researchers ...

For years, climate experts have been sounding the alarm about the worsening impacts of global warming, and a report made by a European news wire agency over the weekend heightened the concerns in an ...

Europe is the fastest-warming continent, and in 2026, there are big concerns about climate change driving more extreme weather and health impacts for those of us who live here. This week, an arctic ...
