New Study Shows a Vicious Circle of Climate Change Building on Thickening Layers of Warm Ocean Water

Global warming is deepening blankets of warmer water that alter ocean currents, hinder absorption of carbon, intensify storms and disrupt biological cycles, a new study warns. And it’s happening faster than scientists expected. “If anything, the impacts of climate change are proving to be worse than we predicted,” said Michael Mann, a co-author of the study.
