Atlantic Ocean's Vital Current Weakening Faster Than Expected

A new study reveals that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current regulating global climate, is weakening faster than expected due to freshwater melt from Greenland's ice sheet. The study, published in Nature Geoscience, suggests that if global warming exceeds 2 degrees Celsius, the AMOC could weaken by 33% by 2040. This weakening could lead to severe climate disruptions, although the scientific community remains divided on the issue. The findings highlight the urgent need for action to address climate change.
