New research shows that efforts to reduce air pollution in Europe, North America and East Asia could accelerate weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The ocean current plays a key role in regulating Europe’s climate. Scientists used multiple climate models to assess the impact under continued high greenhouse gas emissions.
