Scientists Reveal Hidden Factors Behind Atlantic Climate Changes and Potential Flood Risks

Scientists warn that accelerated Arctic warming could disrupt ocean currents like the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), potentially leading to increased flooding along the U.S. East Coast, especially in states like Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, due to rising sea levels and intensified storms. Melting ice introduces freshwater into the Atlantic, threatening to weaken key currents that regulate climate and weather patterns, emphasizing the need for global emission reductions and resilient infrastructure to mitigate these impacts.
