Ocean current changes could cause climate ‘flip’

Powerful ocean currents are grinding slowly to a halt, raising the possibility of a catastrophic climate “flip” that could chill Europe and warm New Zealand, startling new evidence suggests.

Scientists have detected evidence of a slowdown in the ocean currents that control climate worldwide, supporting earlier research on the threats of global warming.
Without these currents, parts of the globe are expected to alter dramatically. The climate in Europe would cool significantly, while New Zealand would be warmer and more susceptible to exotic diseases, scientists suggest
