Changes in this global ocean current pattern are ringing alarm bells, and climate change is likely to blame.

Emerging scientific research suggests a grim reality where the Atlantic Ocean’s formidable currents may collapse within the next few decades. This potential collapse, fuelled by the relentless ...

A new computer model shows how the shutdown of a vital Atlantic current could force ancient, trapped carbon out of the ...

A new study suggests that the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation—a key current system that helps regulate the planet's climate—can no longer be considered a remote possibility ...

Unsurprisingly, climate risks keep growing. However, it’s not great to hear that one of the possibilities that has concerned me the most for almost two decades is getting more likely. That is the ...

Bivalves, such as clams, oysters and mussels, record seasonal environmental changes in their shells, making them living chronicles of climate history. A new study of bivalve shells has detected two ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

When a scientist says, “We don’t know yet,” it can sound like a shrug. In reality, it often means the opposite: We are worried enough to be careful. The public can reasonably ask why some climate ...

A system of Atlantic Ocean currents that regulates global weather is at its feeblest in 1,600 years, weakened partly by climate change, said researchers Wednesday, warning of trouble ahead. Two ...
