A system of ocean currents that transports heat northward across the North Atlantic could collapse by mid-century, according to a new study, potentially causing catastrophic sea-level rise and extreme weather

Are we on the cusp of a real-life "The Day After Tomorrow"? Here's what the experts say.

Some scientists have revealed an ominous climate calculation, based on greenhouse gas emissions, that predicts the Atlantic Ocean's current will shut down around 2060 if nothing changes before then.

The system, part of the "global conveyor belt," could slow down or stop completely by mid-century, a new study finds.

A new study published Tuesday in the journal Nature, found that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current – of which the Gulf Stream is a part – could collapse around the middle of the century, or even as early as 2025.

The system's collapse could lead to permanent drought in Western Africa, extreme winters in Western Europe, and other weather disasters, experts say.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could collapse as early as 2025 because of climate change, a study says.

GettyIn The Day After Tomorrow, the warming of the planet causes the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), the formal name for the overall system of Atlantic Ocean currents, to effectively collapse—inducing a new ice age upon the planet.The writers of the movie may have taken dramatic liberties with climatological research to imagine such an outcome—after all, they had to find a reason for Dennis Quaid to make a dangerous trek across a newly formed glacier around New ...

Water from the fukushima water from the fu kushima nuclear water from the fukushima nuclear power plant. and essentially, they came up with the conclusion that yes, its safe. theyve been building up to this for some time, just — so it doesnt really come as a surprise. last week they said that an examination of ocean currents show the water would move, actually, away from japan, across the pacific, towards america. it wouldnt reach south korean shores for perhaps ten years. so its no surprise r...
