Scientists have issued a warning that the world’s strongest ocean is slowing down due to current climate change, which can cause severe effects such as increase in sea level and ocean warming. The Antarctic Circampolar Current (ACC), four times stronger than the Bay stream, plays an important role in the overall climate health of the planet. It affects the heat of heat and carbon dioxide in the sea and prevents warm water from reaching Antarctica.
Studies and published by researchers at Melbourne University Environmental research letter The current in the “high carbon emission landscape” shows that the current in the “high carbon emissions landscape” may slow down about 20 percent. This decline is inspired by melting ice shelves around Antarctica.
“If this current ‘engine” breaks down, some areas can have serious consequences, including greater climate change, and accelerated global warming due to a decrease in ocean’s ability to act as a carbon sink. “

The study states that the ACC prevents aggressive species such as Southern Bull Calp, Shrimp, and Mollusk from reaching Antarctica from other continents. However, if the ACC is slow, there is a high probability that such species will make their way on the delicate Antarctic continent, with a possible serious impact on the food web. For example, the food options of the Antarctic Penguin can be replaced.
“The melting ice sheets dump huge amounts of fresh water in the salty ocean. The ocean ‘salinity’ has a series of consequences of this sudden change – which involves weakening the sinking of sea water of the surface deep (called Antarctic Bottom Water), and, on the basis of this study, a weak ocean jain that surrounds the Antarctica,” Mrisar Jain was added.
In particular, researchers used Australia’s fastest supercomputer and climate simulator, Gadi, located in the Access National Research Infrastructure in Canberra, producing harmful conclusions.
“The aim of the 2015 Paris Agreement was to limit global warming to pre-industrial levels to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Many scientists agree that we have already reached a target of 1.5 degrees, and it is likely to be a hotter, Antarctic, with the flow on the melting, with the flow on the melting,” Climate Scientist Dr. Timur Sohail, added.
