Study warns Atlantic Ocean current could collapse, with devastating impact on climate

New York, August 7 (RHC)-- A new study in the journal Nature finds human activity could soon cause a crucial Atlantic Ocean current system to collapse, with devastating impacts on the global climate system. 

Researchers found the ocean currents that carry warm water from the tropics to the North Atlantic have already been destabilized by the climate crisis.  A complete collapse would dramatically change rainfall patterns around the globe, lower temperatures in parts of Europe while raising them elsewhere, and would dramatically raise sea levels in the eastern United States.
