The Impact of Ocean Currents on Climate.

Ocean currents play a crucial role in distributing heat, nutrients, and gases that contribute to weather and climate. Climate change is speeding up global ocean currents, affecting migration patterns for marine species and potentially leaving more heat to be absorbed in the atmosphere. The ocean is also the world's largest carbon sink, but rising temperatures have doubled the frequency of marine heatwaves, causing irreversible loss of marine biodiversity, ice melts, and sea level rise.
