CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- If global warming shuts down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean, the result could be catastrophic climate change. The environmental effects, models indicate, ...

ABSTRACT Ocean heat uptake and the thermohaline circulation are analyzed in present-day control, 1% increasing CO₂, and doubled CO₂ runs of the Community Climate System Model, version 2 (CCSM2). It is ...

Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the year 2060 if current greenhouse ...

Earth's history is replete with wide-ranging climate changes. Analysis of ice core data from Greenland and Antarctica provide evidence that global temperatures have oscillated no fewer than 20 times ...

Absent any climate policy, scientists have found a 70 percent chance of shutting down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean over the next 200 years, with a 45 percent probability of ...

Many who see the global warming disaster movie "The Day After Tomorrow" will want to sift the science from the fiction around climate change. With that in mind, two well-known climate change research ...

The world’s ocean is constantly moving. Ocean currents (movement of water from one location to another) are easier to see closer to shore, but currents are found from the ocean's surface down to the ...

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These ...
