Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

(CNN) — A vital system of ocean currents could collapse within a few decades if the world continues to pump out planet-heating pollution, scientists are warning – an event that would be catastrophic ...

A vital system of Atlantic Ocean currents that influences weather across the world could collapse as soon as the late 2030s, scientists have suggested in a new study — a planetary-scale disaster that ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

A critical system of Atlantic Ocean currents may be approaching collapse, which scientists warn will have a dangerous impact on our global climate. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...

Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050, researchers ...
