The warming climate in polar regions may significantly disrupt ocean circulation patterns, a new study indicates. Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from melting Arctic sea-ice into the Nordic Seas likely significantly affected ocean circulation, sending temperatures plummeting across northern Europe.

Melting Arctic sea-ice could affect global ocean circulation, study warns

Scientists have sounded the alarm about the faster-than-expected collapse of a complex system of ocean currents in the Atlantic, which could have "catastrophic" consequences for cold-immersed northern countries as the rest of the planet warms. informs AFP.

“Catastrophic impacts”: scientists are alarmed by the collapse of a major Atlantic current

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is like a giant ocean conveyor belt, moving warm water northward near the surface and cold water southward at depth. It includes the famous Gulf Stream and plays a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate and weather patterns. But climate change is melting Arctic ice and making northern Atlantic waters too fresh and light to sink—and that could have major consequences worldwide.
