Cold spot in the Atlantic could signal big trouble for global climate
The study confirms that the North Atlantic cold patch is due to a weakening ocean current system, not aerosols or wind changes.

As an oceanographer, I study how the ocean shapes our world. For Australia and other nations, the lesson is urgent
Antarctica is often viewed as the last truly remote place on Earth – frozen, wild and untouched. But is it really as untouched as it seems?
