flag A study warns the Antarctic Circumpolar Current may slow by 20% by 2050, amplifying climate change effects.

flag A new study in Environmental Research Letters warns that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the strongest ocean current, could slow by 20% by 2050 due to melting ice sheets. flag This slowdown could cause increased climate variability, more extreme weather, and faster global warming. flag The influx of freshwater changes the ocean's salt content, affecting how cold water circulates. flag This also risks allowing invasive species to reach Antarctica. flag Even limiting global warming to 1.5°C could still see the current slow down.
