Study: How Deep, Old Waters Delay Antarctic Ocean Warming
2016-06-01 07:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: A new study revealed that surface water in the Antarctic ocean is being pushed northward, which allows the old,deep water to surface, delaying the effects of global warming in the Antarctic. A new study from the University of Washington and Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that ocean currents are the reason behind the delayed warming of the Antarctic Ocean while the rest of planet is significantly warmer. Previously, scientists believed that the delayed warming in the Atlantic...
Antarctic seas defy global warming thanks to chill from the deep

Reuters: A persistent chill in the ocean off Antarctica that defies the global warming blamed for melting Arctic ice at the other end of the planet is caused by cold waters welling up from the depths after hundreds of years, scientists said on Monday. The Southern Ocean off Antarctica may be among the last places on Earth to feel the impact of man-made climate change, with a lag of centuries to affect waters emerging from up to 5,000 meters (16,000 ft) deep, the U.S. study said. Many people who doubt...
Antarctic Ocean Climate Change Mystery Could Be Explained By Deep, Old Water

Headlines & Global News: A new University of Washington study reveals why the Antarctic Ocean might be one of the last places to experience the effects of global warming and human-driven climate change. Over the years, the water surrounding Antarctica has stayed roughly the same temperature even as the rest of the planet continues to warm, a fact often pointed out by climate change deniers. Now, a new study uses observations and climate models to suggest that the reason for this inconsistency is due to the unique currents...
Oceans delay warming of Antarctic waters: study

Agence France-Presse: Deep, cold ocean currents from the North Atlantic blunt the effect of global warming on Antarctica and slow the rise of sea levels, according to a study published Monday. This icy insulation of the snowy continent -- covered by a sheath of ice up to four kilometres (2.5 miles) thick -- could last for centuries, the research published in Nature Geoscience said. That's good news to hundreds of millions of people in low-lying regions who are threatened by seas set to rise up to a metre by the...
