Changes In The Atlantic Ocean Cycle Are Threatening Climate

The video discusses the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current system that regulates climate. It explains how warm water from the equator moves northward, cools, and sinks, creating a cycle. The video highlights concerns about polar ice melting, which could disrupt this cycle, as depicted in the movie 'The Day After Tomorrow'. Although the movie exaggerates, recent research suggests the AMOC is slowing, similar to past events that caused significant climate changes. The video concludes with uncertainty about when or if the AMOC will stop.
