"The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050.

Such a slowdown could allow more warm water to reach the #Antarctic Ice Sheet, thereby exacerbating the melting that's already been observed. In addition to contributing to sea level rise, this […]

The world's strongest ocean current should be getting faster – instead, it is at risk of failing Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050?
