Could Amplify Global Warming
Scientists have discovered that changes in ocean currents could make global warming worse by increasing carbon dioxide levels in the air.
Recent studies suggest that these currents, especially the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), are weakening due to climate change. This weakening can disrupt the ocean's ability to store carbon dioxide. Normally, the ocean absorbs about a quarter of the carbon dioxide humans emit, helping to regulate the climate.
Expectations from the collaborators: As a result, more carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.
Incentives: When the AMOC slows down, it affects how carbon dioxide is taken up and stored in the ocean. Slower currents mean less mixing of surface and deep waters, reducing the ocean's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide.
