UN weather agency issues ‘red alert’ on climate change after record heat, ice-melt increases in 2023 The U.N. weather agency is sounding a "red alert" about global warming, citing record ...

But fresh, cool water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the salty water of the ocean, potentially disrupting the vital ocean current. Our new research suggests the Antarctic Circumpolar ...

Scientists have used one of Australia's most powerful supercomputers to show that melting Antarctic ice sheets could slow the world's strongest ocean currents by flooding it with fresh water.

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to ...

Melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, with a projected 20% reduction by 2050 under high carbon emissions.

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published today that warned of "severe" climate consequences.

A new study shows that the world's strongest ocean current could slow by around 20%, as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it. The melting ice sheets would change the ocean's salt content, making it ...
