New research from UC Riverside suggests that the current ocean warming trend mirrors a similar pattern observed in ancient times, during periods of increased global temperatures. This alarming discovery raises serious concerns about the future of our planet. A warming ocean could lead to a cascade of negative consequences, including rising sea levels, disrupted weather and threats to marine ecosystems.
The ocean is a complex, dynamic system, and a key player is what scientists call the "global conveyor belt."
This is not a literal belt, but a vast network of currents that transport warm water from the equator toward the poles, then send cooler water back. The constant swirling helps regulate the temperature of our planet, protecting the tropics from overheating and the poles from freezing. (Sanjana Gajbhiye, more on earth.com )
