Atlantic 'cold blob' linked to weakening ocean current system nearing a tipping point, study finds

A Strange 'Cold Blob' in The Atlantic Signals We're Almost at a Tipping Point

There's a strange anomaly in the North Atlantic, just south of Greenland: A 'cold blob' of ocean and air that's cooling down while the rest of the world warms up.

Mysterious 'cold blob' in the Atlantic is a sign of the Gulf Stream weakening — and that's bad news for the US East Coast

The Atlantic's enigmatic "cold blob" has once again been linked to a weakening of key ocean currents and a devastating climate tipping point.

Scientists Have Detected Something Deeply Alarming at the Bottom of the Ocean

Climate researchers are increasingly worried about weakening ocean currents in the North Atlantic, though split on what's causing them.

Oceans are warming, but scientists are concerned about this cold blob

If the blob persists for years, it could eventually cool the climate around Greenland, Iceland and northern Europe.
