A major ocean current in the Arctic, the Beaufort Gyre, is changing rapidly due to climate warming—and this could trigger a ...

The ocean is a vital part of our planet's climate system. Through its global circulation patterns, the ocean draws vast quantities of our planet's heat and carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Ironically, the change would come about as a result of global warming. Speaking on a television programme today, scientists will voice their fears about the Gulf Stream being suddenly cut off.

Human-induced climate change is accelerating the weakening of the Gulf Stream. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. This warming leads to polar ice ...

The body of water is positioned at the intersection of two major currents—the warm Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador Current. This productive body of water has continued to evol ...

NASA reported global sea levels rose more than expected in 2024. Hotter oceans is primary reason. Here's how sea level rise ...
