A recent study by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) reveals a looming climate crisis: the world ...

In short, the global warming induced by increased greenhouse gases changes the major wind systems on Earth. This in turn reduces the area of highly reflective clouds, leading to additional warming.

They disrupt and redistribute vast amounts of energy and momentum from the lower to the upper stratosphere, affecting global circulation patterns and influencing weather and climate,” Nolan said. “If ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, a massive system of ocean currents, helps regulate global weather patterns by transporting warm water north and cold water south.

Results The study found two major drivers behind the 2023 cold event. The primary factor was an unusual atmospheric circulation pattern linked to Arctic warming, which accounted for 83% of the cold ...
